Makena's Class Trip: Delta Rivers Nature Center

Today was the beginning of field trip season!  I get to go on three field trips over the next three days!!  It will be exciting and busy!  I love that I get to spend a day focused on each of them with their class and friends.  It should be fun! 
Today we ventured to the Delta Rivers Nature Center in Pine Bluff.  We went there (our family) a couple of years ago and had a lot of fun, but it is so much different going in a big group!  We went on a nature hike, watched them feed gold fish to some really big fish, archery (Makena's favorite part!), and we also got to play with all the stuff in the center itself.  The kids had fun, but I think most of them are like Makena and agree that archery was the best!  After we were done there we went to the park, which was just around the corner and played for a little while, but man was it hot today!  Most of the time I wouldn't complain, but between these injections I'm getting (hot flash city!!) and the fact that we have to wear pants or long capri's (I had on jeans!), I was ready to leave the park within 20 minutes!!  So after we left, the teacher took them to McDonald's and got them all an ice cream cone :)
It was a great day and I'm so glad that I got to spend it with my sweet Makena!

Mommy and Makena day!!
 
Cam, Hailee, Anna Grace, and Makena listening to our guide, who by the way, was really full of himself.
 
If you look closely you can see a deer.  That deer was either deaf or half stupid to not run off when all of our bunch was coming down the trail!
 
She was happy because she had already shot once and was the best (of course)!
The other kids were at a disadvantage against her :)

Fun at the Park!  This is a silly picture :)

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...
