Happy First Day of School!

Well, today was the first day of school for my sweet girls.  I don't think either of them slept much last night because of their anticipation of the new school year :)  I remember doing the same thing!  Of course we were up and out the door (for pictures) in record time....don't be too hopeful, it doesn't usually last past the first week.  Grammy and Nanny both came to the house to get their own pictures of the girls.  Trey kind of wanted to go to school today, too, but then he enjoyed his time home alone today.  Nobody to fight with, nobody to tell him he couldn't play the Wii, nobody saying "Get out of our room, Trey!".  You get the picture!  Now here are a few of the pictures I got this morning:
They were so ready to leave!

My 4th grader, Makena

My 5th grader, Carlie

Nanny took this picture....and Carlie and Makena are looking
at the dog while Trey and I are cheesing away.  Note to self:
don't wear this shirt again it makes my arms look fat :(

They told me this afternoon that they had a great day except that the lunches were late, the bells weren't ringing, and the fire alarm went off twice (no fire)!  Maybe by the time I work up there next week all the glitches will be worked out.  They both talked and talked about their video teachers, and which ones they liked best.  Carlie has a man teacher for the first time, ever, and she said he is her favorite.  Poor Makena is half sick, but is still going.  She has sinus issues that are causing a hacky cough and a bit of a sore throat.  So, she went to school with a bag of cough drops.  I hope she gets better soon.  We were so blessed not to be sick very much last year and I'm praying this year is a repeat of that. 
All in all it was a great day, and I'm very thankful to be able to send my kids to the school they are in :)
Happy First Day of School!!

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...

 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 ...
