Wings Over The Prairie Festival 2011

Today was the day that Trey got to blow his duck call on the Main Stage at the Wings Over The Prairie Festival!  Now, of course it would be more exciting if he was actually competing, but this is his first time to take a class at all, so maybe he'll be able to take classes in advance and compete in the the Beginner Youth Duck Calling Contest next year.  This was a big deal to us today :)  His buddy, Hayden competed Wednesday and got third place.  I think that kind of boosted his interest in this.  I think it could be a great opportunity.  If you are any good you can win scholarships,  cash prizes, and lots more.  Definitely something worth trying.  Today they split the kids up according to their ages and took them aside and taught them as a group different calls that they eventually put into a routine that could be used in the real contest.  He loved it, and was too cute doing it :)
After we finished with the class we all went and got something to eat then went back to ride some rides at the carnival and go through all the craft tents.  It was such a beautiful day to be out, and it actually got a little warm standing in the sun.  The kids had fun and of course they didn't want to leave.  A very sweet lady came up to me and handed me about 10 tickets and said that they were leaving and wanted to give them to me :)  I thought that was super nice! 

Ready to get started!

I don't know all that much about all the different calls
the do, but they taught them a whole routine today.

Mrs. Pat Peacock and her two sisters are the ones who taught
the class today.  They are the children of Chick and Sophie Majors
and are some of the main founders of the Duck Calling Contest in Stuttgart.

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...
