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 :)

My picture in the birdhouse

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

  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

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...

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!...
