New Windows & Pork Chops with Pop & Nanny

Pop grilling his scrumptious pork chops!

Makena with her strawberry shortcake

Carlie just had the cake with whipped cream....she
doesn't like chocolate or strawberries...WHERE
DID THIS KID COME FROM?!?

T had strawberries and warm brownies.  Now
THATS what I'm talkin' about :)

My mom has had this "ride" since Carlie was
little.  Trey loves it, but it looks like he might be
getting a little big for it!

Today has been a day full of accomplishments in our house which is my absolute favorite kind of day!  We have been waiting for a pretty day so Carl could put the new windows in my living room, and today was the day. I played outside with the kids, rode 4wheelers, and tried to get some housework done, but I got to help Carl some too.  He even let me use the saw :)   My parents came over for a little while this afternoon so Daddy could help with the actual installation of the windows, guess I'm not strong enough!  It was the funniest thing, my Dad and Trey were in the house and Carl was outside and my Dad yells to Carl, "We're not square in here." and Trey yells, "we're not square in here, we're rectangle"!!  He cracks me up.  
  The windows are in, but we still have to stain the trim and put it up.  I am super excited about all the improvements going on around here.  We're almost done with our to-do list, we just have to do the kids bathroom :)
After our window project my Mom called and invited us over for dinner.  Let me just say that I am very glad that she is getting back to her old self!  I don't think I ever blogged about it but she had gall bladder surgery almost 2 weeks ago.  She thinks she's ready to take a trip to the zoo with us this week...hope she doesn't over do it! 
 Now back to the pork chops...my Dad grilled out and Mom did the fixings in the house.  It was so yummy!!  I think my kids loved the strawberry shortcakes and brownies the best :) 
This week is Spring Break for the girls (as well as most of Arkansas) and we don't have a lot planned, just a couple of little trips (the zoo, maybe Arkansas Post), a sleepover with Grammy and Papa, and a birthday
 bunking party.  We also have a couple of school projects to work on.  I'm sure it'll go by too fast, but I'm going to try and enjoy it as much as possible!!

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 ...
