A Roadtrip, Snowcones, and A Smelly Friend

Makena and Trey were making the best out of a long trip

Me and my pretty girl-in-the-middle. Carlie wasn't ever around us :(

We stopped by our favorite place before going back home to get a snow cone.

Carl got them mediums and my car it still sticky!

The smelly little friend we found. He was with his mother, but when we let Sam out, the mother ran off and left the baby, but not before it sprayed Sam! It didn't get him really good, but he did smell pretty bad for a few days.

Saturday we went to Russellville to go to my nephew Noah's Kindergarten Graduation. He is home schooled and just finished his work, so they had a little ceremony and reception for him then all of the kids played outside on the bouncy slide. Makena didn't want to play on it, but Carlie and Trey did. Too bad I didn't get one single picture of them on it. Makena was just glued to my side that day for some reason. I think that sometimes she gets a little insecure when we are around people that she doesn't know. Or, maybe she was just needing me more that day! I'll take what I can get :)

When we made our way back to Stuttgart we stopped and got a snow cone at Tropical Sno. We haven't had one since school got out, so it was a nice little treat :) Only mistake I made was letting Carl order. He got all of the kids mediums!! We had such a huge mess in the car. I'm still finding sticky places.

When we finally made it back to our house and ate supper (yes, after eating snow cones!) we made a trip out to the farm to let Sam run. He loves that, but on this trip he found a not so friendly friend...a skunk! Well, this skunk had a baby with it and Carl rescued it from Sam. It was such a fiasco! Sam got sprayed, but the baby skunk was safe and Carl put it back where the mother had left him. When we drove back by later the baby was gone, so I guess it was reunited with it's mom. The kids thought this was the absolute coolest trip to the farm EVER! They even got to pet the baby skunk! I on the other hand, passed :)

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...

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!...
