Grillin' Out

So I guess one of my favorite things about summer is grillin' out in the backyard with the family and just  watching the kids run around and play and have fun without a care in the world.  Yep, I would say that it really can't get much better than that :)

Makena wanted to take a picture of me and Carl.  She cracks
me up so much because she loves to see us hug and be
"loving" with each other.  I guess it makes her feel safe or something :)

Look at those yummy chicken legs!

This picture is for Carlie.  Well, Carlie really took this picture.
Ever since she was little she always loved to look at the butter
before "messing" it up!  This girl loves butter too....maybe even
more than Paula Deen!

We also cooked country style ribs.  These were a little more
fatty than I wanted, but once you got past all of that, they were
delish!!

All of these pictures are also from Saturday :)  Today we got up only to realize that we overslept!!  That is not good on a Sunday morning around here.  We don't ever set the alarm for Sunday mornings because we always just get up.  But last night wasn't just any ordinary night.  Nobody in this house slept...NOBODY!    We got NO sleep until the wee hours of the morning.  So at 8:30 we got up and had to skip our normal big Sunday breakfast and just had muffins :)  We did manage to make it to church on time thanks to the fact that I had our clothes already out.  I think I should do that every week! 
Poor Makena is still not feeling the best and neither is Trey although he doesn't show it as much.  We didn't go swimming today, we just hung out at the house.
  Makena is already making lists for everybody of what she wants for her birthday, and the countdown has begun:  10 days from today and the  princess will be 9!  I remember very well the 4th of July that I was pregnant with her.  I was SO ready to have her because it was SO hot and I was miserable but she was perfectly content where she was out and I was induced a mere 4 days before my due date.  She has been attached to her Momma ever since :) 
I know, I keep getting sidetracked...I think it's from the lack of sleep.  Well, that and I'm watching Hope Floats and trying to think and type at the same time!  Not going to good for me, so I think it's time to say  "Good Night"!

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 ...
