Happy 11th Birthday, Makena Faith!

Happy Birthday, to my sweet Makena Faith!
I always have fun making these collages.
I'll admit that I did get a bit teary looking through all of
her baby pictures!  I can't believe how grown up she is now.
 
She called Grammy and asked her to make her a Hershey Bar cake.
They are delicious!

Blowing out her candles
 
The Simpson's got her a peace sign teddy bear. 
You're never too old for stuffed animals.

Noah made her a funny card and couldn't wait to show everyone!
 
 
Nanny and Pop got her a Google Nextbook. 
Yes, she did just get a tablet for Christmas, but the week after school
let out she dropped it on our hard wood floor and busted the screen.
This one is bigger and has a camera on it.  She loved it!
 

She also got lots of money.
 

Carl and I got her a Vera Bradley purse that is purple, of course!
 

She is One Directions biggest fan, I promise!
The card sang "One Thing".
 
The Birthday Girl on her Birthday!
She wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese's.

Everybody was so hungry when our pizza came out!
Carlie and Trey were both very sweet (unusually) to Makena on "her" day!
 
We celebrated Makena's  11th Birthday most of the weekend!  Friday night we had a family party, here at our house.  The Simpson's, Nanny and Pop, and Grammy and Papa all came.  She got the majority of her presents that night.  I made her wait until Saturday to give her mine :)  I think she enjoyed getting mail as much or more than anything else! 
After Carl got home from work Saturday morning we went to Little Rock to celebrate at Chuck E. Cheese's and we shopped around a little bit too! 
Overall, I think she had a great birthday!  She said she did anyway :)
I am so proud of her! 
We love you to the moon and back, sweet Makena!

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 ...
