Branson 2011

Monday we left for our annual trip to Branson.  We were so excited, but had not really decided what all we were going to do yet. I guess that I had been so busy trying to get all those papers written that I hadn't really researched my trip schedule very well.  We arrived in Branson around 1:00 p.m. and went straight to the hotel, got checked in, rested (for a minute), then went to the lake to swim...or not!!  Not thinking about all the floods that had taken place earlier in the year, we bee-bopped down there only to find out there was NO Swimming beaches!!  They were all under water.  The kids LOVED Tablerock lake last year, so they were a little disappointed.  We decided to go back to the hotel to swim for a little while before driving down to Branson Landing for dinner.  It was a really fun night even though the floods had damaged the equipment for the water/lights/fire show, we ended up going on a moonlight cruise of Lake Tanycomo.  I would highly recommend it...it was fairly inexpensive and the kids loved it because the got to drive.  A 4 million dollar boat, they got to drive!!  It was definitely the highlight of the day :)
On our way...I had to stop and take a picture.  So
pretty, but really I'm a flat-land kinda girl :)

Makena had to take a pic of me and Carl, too!

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...

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 ...
