Merry Christmas

Makena with her friendship bracelet kit

Carlie has wanted a wig forever and I just thought
it was ridiculous, but while Carl and I were shopping
at Toys R Us I spotted this Hannah Montana
wig and knew she would LOVE it, and she did :)

Trey with his trash truck

Moxie Teen!

Carlie got a Fashion Babyz DS game.

They also got a new basketball goal and balls

We were playing in the dark because we had
to be at Nanny's early. 

For the past couple of years my Mom has hid
these ZuZu pets at her house before the kids got there
and then let them have a "mouse hunt".  They love it and it
is a little pre-present activity.

Eli and Trey playing with their ZuZu pets

Ellie Kate and Carlie

Trey got a new digital camera and has been
snapping pictures left and right.  I'll have to make a post of
just his pictures....should be pretty interesting.

Carlie was SO thrilled about her new microscope.
She has been looking at everything she can think of
underneath it, even blood..she picked a scab..GROSS!

Makena with her new Password Journal

When we woke up Christmas morning we opened presents at our house then had to hurry to my Mom and Dad's house for presents and breakfast there.  The kids liked all of there presents, but I didn't get all the pictures I should have.  We have been the sick house around here since Wednesday.  I had to push myself to get through all the festivities, but I made it, and even though I didn't get to enjoy it like I normally would, I think the kids did, and after all, that's all that matters :)  After we opened presents at Mom and Dad's we ate our annual breakfast (yummy!) and then went home for a little nap until 1, when we went to Grammy and Papa's for lunch, then headed back home to start putting things into place. 
We started a new tradition last year of going to the movies on Christmas night.  We went to see the Squeakquel last year and this year we watched Yogi.  It was a really cute movie and Trey hardly took his eyes off of it the whole time.  I love the Holiday Season, but I'm so glad that it's all over and I can finally get my house back into some kind of order :)
Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Friday Favorites

 Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
