Memorial Day Fun!

Happy Memorial Day!  And thank you to all of you who have fought for our freedom!!  We celebrated Memorial Day by having a cook out at my Mom and Dad's house with my grandparents.  Carl had to work this year...BOO!!  And my sister and her kids weren't able to be here, but surprisingly my kids had a blast having the pool to themselves :)
Carl made it in just in time for lunch and then had to head back out to the field.
 
Mr. Jim and Mrs. Amy came by and took Trey for a little ride!
He loved it and talked their ears off the whole time!
 
After we ate and Carl went back to work, we headed out to the pool.
My mom bought this Bonsai Ball that is kind of like hot potato but with a water balloon.
It has a timer on it and when it goes off, the water balloon bursts!  It's a lot of fun :)
 
He missed his Daddy, but he still tried to have fun!
 
Carlie made a flag, but didn't want her picture made with it because her hair was too messy!!
Trey with his art.  He was the only one that would let me take his picture today!!

Makena decided not to draw a flag, but instead drew a heart that says Jesus Loves!
 
And here is yet, another picture of T. 
He was floating around with Pop, trying to do everything he did :)

 I forgot to post this one Friday, but here are my three monkey's in the truck on the way to Graduation.
 
And this one was taken yesterday before church.
 
I finally made them stop and take on for me after we got back home from swimming!!  Carlie was still worried about her hair, and please, don't pay much attention to our "play attire"!
 
It was a pretty fun day, even though we didn't have Carl with us!  I know we won't have him everyday all summer long, but it's just different when it's a holiday!
 
Happy Memorial Day!!

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...

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 ...
