May Day!!

Happy May Day, Friends!  Today I celebrated by taking off!  My mom and I went to LR for a little retail therapy.  Things have been a little hairy around here lately, so it was nice to just get away for a little while.  I was back in town in time to pick the kids up from school :)  Speaking of school, we are all ready for the end of it!!  We have to go until the 25th, but have TONS of activities planned between now and then.  Take a look for yourself:
Full calendar.  Hopefully that means the month will go by FAST!

I have to backtrack now...back to Sunday.  We had our fifth Sunday services on Sunday and that included lunch with singing and a guest afterward.  Our church helps support the East Kenya Mission Teams, and Bro. James Taylor (one of the missionaries) and his family came to speak to us.  This was especially a treat for our Discovery Kids because they have been bringing money and saving cans (for money) to give to him when he came.  Bless his heart, he was about 45minutes late and had been triple booked that day, so he had somewhere else to go after he left us....and he had his wife and five kids with him!!  It was great to hear about the work they are doing over there.  I would love to go there on a mission trip, but I can't see it happening.  Not in our budget.  They are sponsored by Pauline Baptist Church in Monticello (where Bro. Chad Graves preaches).  Great Mission!
Here are a couple of pictures I got that day.
My three awesome kids.  I am so proud of them!

Bro. James Taylor (on the left) and my Dad and some of the Discovery kids presenting him with the check.  Mrs. Kenya (Bro. Taylor's wife) took a really good picture right after this, and that is when my camera batteries died as well as my phone battery! 

It's a miracle!  My batteries revived long enough to take this picture of my kids, the Taylor kids, and Gauge (in the hat) while the rest of the family was packing up to move along to the next location :)

I am yawning as I am finishing this....hope I didn't bore you to death.  One more day of work, Discovery Closing Program, a field trip to Harding University with T's class, and the Athletic Banquet coming up later this week!!

Hold on folks, the fun is just beginning!

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 ...
