In 9 Months......

It hit me like a ton of bricks the other night that in 9 short months my baby will start Kindergarten!!  He got up in the middle of the night to get in our bed, which he hardly does, and when I asked him why he was in my room he said, "I just wanted to sleep with you" (in his sweetest little voice).  Of course I said yes, and as he was lying there beside me, breathing his morning breath in my face, I started thinking of how he is going to start school soon and that made me really sad.  The process of letting go, even if it's just a little, is about to begin. I told him the other day that he was going to have to start going to bed without his TV on because when he started school he couldn't do that and he turned to me and said, "It's not tomorrow, Mom!" 

Anyway, I got this idea from Amanda at Baby Bangs, only mine is an abbreviated interview with my T:

1.  What is something that Mommy always says to you?
      T:  Clean my room.
2.  What makes Mommy happy?
     T:  When I'm good.
3.  How does Mommy make you laugh?
     T:  tell me knock-knock jokes!
4.  How old is Mommy?
     T:  I don't know, 8?
5.  What is Mommy's favorite thing to do?
     T:  Clean the house
6.  What is Mommy good at?
     T:  Cleaning the house!
7.  What is Mommy not good at?
      T:  driving the 4-wheeler like Daddy.
8.  What is Mommy's favorite food?
     T:  Spaghetti and Chili
9.  What makes you proud of Mommy?
     T:  making my bed
10.  What do you and Mommy do together?
       T:  Go to the Library and get books
11.  Where is Mommy's favorite place to go?
       T:  Nanny's house

His answers cracked me up!!  I guess maybe I'm a little OCD on the cleaning....you'd think my house would be the cleanest house on Earth!!  And how sweet it is to know that I'm 8 years old, but I guess that seems old to him :)  And as much as I love going to visit my Mom (Nanny), that is more than likely HIS favorite place to go!
Oh how I plan to cherish these next nine months!

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'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. What a week it has been! Having picnics with Wrenley and Makena were pretty high up on my favorites list. She wanted a lunchable (big surprise there!) while Makena and I had tuna salad. Playing outside is a must with Wrenley! And she loves making sure the bird bath has plenty of water! Another thing on my favorites list is listening to Trey play the guitar. This smile is also my favorite! We had a celebration for my son-in-law, Caleb this week. He is a pretty great guy and we are thankful that he is "ours" now :)  He is my favorite son-in-law! As I was studying for my Gospel Project lesson earlier this week I realized we only have 3 more lessons! That means that summer break is just 3 weeks away (for our Wednesday night program)! Although I will still have to prepare lessons for Sunday School and VBS.  Summer is my favorite! This summer will be extra sp...
