Saturday at the Zoo!!

Today we decided that we'd take a little family trip....back to the LR zoo!  It was a VERY hot day, BUT we went and had a blast.  I guess most people thought it was too hot to be at the zoo because there were not very many people there.  They had a few buildings with AC, and topped with an icecream and cool drinks, it made it doable :)  After we left the zoo we shopped around a little bit then grabbed a bite to eat, then FINALLY found our way back to Arkansas County.  It was a hot, but fun day :) 
It was one lazy day!  Trey said it looked like Pop :)

Makena in front of the alligators.

Trey wanted to feed them.  I told him that he'd probably make
them a good snack!

Look at those teeth.

Carlie and Makena feeding the Koi

Not too sure about this one.

Makena by the new elephants, Jewel and Zion.  Mary
died about a month or so ago, and they got two new elephants
to stay with Ellen.  Jewel and Zion are retired from the circus.

Carlie by a giraffe.  This giraffe kept coming over to her. 
I mean like I think he could have touched us with his long
tongue if he wanted to!

Up close...this is with NO zoom.  They are so beautiful!

Carl found a cool place to rest!

Another cool spot with ice cream!

Carl and Carlie were eating a funnel cake :)

Farmer Trey

This cracks me up so much because
of Carlie as the squirrel...it SO fits her :)
Again, check out Makena as the squirrel!

Ma and Pa Farmer

My three penguins

Trey wanted to be one by himself.

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 It's been a hot minute since I've linked up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for a Friday Favorites! This is me trying to get back into my blogging groove :) I came across this little dress last year when we moved, and I knew it would be fit Wrenley this summer! It was Makena's circa 2004.  I just love it when a plan comes together.  A favorite for sure! Look at those babies. Twenty years has flown by. Miss Wrenley Beth. She doesn't look a thing like her momma, but definitely has Aunt Makena's sass! Hopefully as her hair grows, she will get Carlie's curls. We have been doing as much outdoor activities as possible.  That includes one of my favorite things...fishing! Carl, showing off his big bass. We weren't technically bass fishing, but whatever bites. It'll eat! Of course we have also been going to the river.  Our kids weren't able to go with us, so we just took the jet ski.   It has been raining so the water is a gross brown. I didn't s...
