Wednesday Ramblings

I'm back from my sickness enduced absence!!  It seems like ages since I last posted.  Carlie didn't go to school on Monday or Tuesday so we pretty much just sat at home.  She didn't have a fever, but her ear hurt really bad and she just felt yucky.  We managed to get her My State Notebook done as well as her book report (we did a little fine tuning on what she already had done) and we have started on her science experiement.....and I am exhausted!  But it was well worth it because today she made a 100 on her notebook as well as her book report :)


Both of these are beans...one that has been watered and one that has not. Can you guess which one is which?!

 Have I ever mentioned that Carlie is an over-achiever?  She needs has to be perfect.  Yes, she knows that she is not, but she expects the best out of herself.  This is something that I struggle with.  I know that I do push the girls and some have even told me that I push them too hard.  And while I know the consequenses of my actions, I only want them to do their best.  I don't want them to look back and say, "if I had only tried harder".  I love them for who they are no matter what and  I know they know that.

Had to throw a picture of the goofball in!! I took this picture before bed.  Evidently Spiderman pj's go with the plaid hat :)   He is one of the funniest kids I know!

My sleepy little princess.  I remember not long after she was born, I knew that she was going to be a sweetheart.  She was the best baby in the world...always a sleeper, just a good baby.  I always said that she was just like Carl....sweet :)  

I guess that pretty much sums it up.  After spending all last week with the kids I feel like I love them more than ever and that made me realize something:  Sometimes it takes something big to knock you back so you can see things the way He wants you to.....but sometimes the Lord just gives you little things to bring you back home!!

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...
