First 3 Days of Summer Break

Trey and Grammy....I think she thought she would drown!

Blaine and Trey having a boy convo :)

Makena, Carlie, and Blaine

Carlie and Blaine
He loves her so much, he gave her lots of kisses that day :)

These pictures were taken on Monday afternoon when my cousin CleAnn and her little boy Blaine came to swim with us.  The kids just love to have someone to swim with and even though we don't live that far from The Browns', we don't get to see them all that often, so this was a good time to catch up for everybody :) 
Speaking of catching up,  I will do a little now.  Monday I did some school work then me and Makena went to town to run some errands while Trey and Carlie stayed with Nanny.  They helped her clean out her bathroom and came home with TONS of stuff!!  Face masks, lotions, shampoo...just a lot of stuff (just what we needed); thanks Mom!!  So after we got back home we ate lunch and then went back over to Mom and Dad's to swim.  The rest of the day was pretty much spent indoors, recuperating from being out in the sun ALL afternoon.  Thankfully, everybody was able to sleep well that night!
Yesterday was one of the most stressful days I have had in a LONG time.  I waited until the last minute to work on my part of a group project for school and so I spent about 5 or 6 hours doing it.  I was able to work about 2 1/2 of those hours while the kids were asleep :)  On top of all of that, one of my labs online wouldn't let me sign in so I spent about 45 minutes chatting with technical support, finally she did what I asked her to do, and all was well!  I was finally able to wind down at Ladies Bible Study last night. 
Today has been 100% easier.  I still woke up early to get my work done, but I only had to do my homework online, so it didn't take too long.  Again, I got to work in peace while the kids were sleeping.   We all went to town to go to the library, eat lunch with Carl, and make a Wal-Mart stop.  The kids got lots of good books.  It's so funny because Carlie and Makena got Nancy Drew books.  I used to read those when I was little.  I LOVED mystery books when I was younger.  Now I mostly read Christian fiction (love Karen Kingsbury) but lately I don't have time to read anything on my own :(  Carl used to get aggravated because when I would start a book, I would usually finish it that day, meaning I didn't get anything else done. The love of  books is an awesome thing and I'm glad that I've passed along the passion to read to my kids.
Of course we went swimming again today, but not for as long because we had church tonight. 
I guess that's it, that's my catching up.  Hope I didn't bore you too bad. 
Happy Hump Day, Friends!

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 ...
