So Random


This post is going to be so completely random, but I'm now in the mood to blog, so here it goes :)

My three little monkeys.  We took this on Saturday, which was a long day because Carl was working all day, but we had a great day anyway.  Mom invited us over to eat supper and then we went for a nice walk down at the river.  Speaking of the river.... in May we (the citizens of Arkansas Co.) learned that Reece Witherspoon and Matthew McConaughey would be in our county and two surrounding counties making the movie "Mud".  There were two big houseboats that were put in at our landing for the taping of this movie :)  Did I mention that I love Reece Witherspoon?!?  She is probably my absolute favorite actress.  Maybe I'll get to meet her :)

About three or four weeks ago we got a new student at our school.  His name is David and he is from China.  He speaks English pretty well, is very funny, and actually has to act as interpreter for his parents who speak absolutely NO English.  Anyway, while warming up David's lunch one day, the above picture is what I found.  I have to admit, I was a little freaked out by it.  Squid is not something that I am used to seeing when I open up a lunch container....and to be honest, I'd be fine the rest of my like without seeing it again!  It smelled awful warming up too....needless to say, I ate light for lunch that day!

I finally remembered to get a picture of the kids with our neighbor, Mr. Carl (the pie man).  We just had to go have a pie tonight after supper.  He gave me a fried coconut pie on the house....I certainly did not need it, but it would have been rude not to take it, right?!  One day, maybe he'll come up with a fat-free pie.  Oh, and please excuse the clothing that my kids have on....T's boots, and Makena's non-matching shirt....we were at home in our play clothes when we decided to get a pie :)
Look at the babies!  They are growing up so fast and so cute!  They are going to new homes this weekend.  I am happy about this, but I know the kids aren't going to be.  We are keeping one, a boy that Makena named, Elvis. 

Happy Monday, 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'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. What a week it has been! Having picnics with Wrenley and Makena were pretty high up on my favorites list. She wanted a lunchable (big surprise there!) while Makena and I had tuna salad. Playing outside is a must with Wrenley! And she loves making sure the bird bath has plenty of water! Another thing on my favorites list is listening to Trey play the guitar. This smile is also my favorite! We had a celebration for my son-in-law, Caleb this week. He is a pretty great guy and we are thankful that he is "ours" now :)  He is my favorite son-in-law! As I was studying for my Gospel Project lesson earlier this week I realized we only have 3 more lessons! That means that summer break is just 3 weeks away (for our Wednesday night program)! Although I will still have to prepare lessons for Sunday School and VBS.  Summer is my favorite! This summer will be extra sp...
