Pretty Girls, Deer Stands, and T-Shirts!

My girls are really into doing their hair these days.  Makena decided that she was going to straighten hers.  Her hair is extremely thick and curly, and straightening it is NOT and easy task.  Carlie has some natural curl too, but she used the curling iron and made it more curly on the ends.   These are fun times but they often lead to us running a little late....I'm trying to teach them to start a little earlier....we're still working on that!
This has been our project of the week!  Every day after Carl has gotten home, we have gone out to work on the deer stand!  This is kind of the family stand.  He wouldn't dare take us all at one time, but each person goes with him individually.  The kids really like to go, even though Carlie is the only one who has shot ever shot a deer.  We've all painted on it, and the kids have done a little drilling on it.  Me, I just mainly watch :)
Trey has just started riding the big 4wheeler.  He looks so tiny on it!  He can't drive it very fast because he is so small....he has to push is feet against the back of it so he can turn!  He is very careful and we always watch him closely (usually one of the girls rides with him).
So everybody knows how much I love owls :)  Well, Carlie got this t-shirt for me for my birthday, and I just love it :)

Well, that's about all I have for today!  This will be our last week before school starts and like always, we will be having our annual Back To School photo shoot, so stay tuned!

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...
