This and That

This is what an "Off Day" around our house looks like.
We got to spend Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday at home with the Simpson boys.
So Carlie spent that day doing her hair (what else?!), Makena was making bracelets with her loom, Noah and Trey were having fun playing in Trey's room, and Eli was loving the television (and Trey's DS when Trey wasn't looking!).  We also got report cards on this day and I am proud to say that we had one on the All A Honor Roll, and two on the A and B Honor Roll.

Makena, Trey, and Papa at Ellie's 4th birthday party.
It was cowgirl themed.  I thought it was funny that Papa decided to join the fun and wear a mustache!

Ellie loved her new horse watch!

And of course, her princess dress :)

Another picture of Trey and Noah.
There is no telling what these two will get into when they get a little older.
 
I almost forgot about this one!  We had a Birthday Party/Potluck at church for our Pastor.
I'm still getting used to all of this.  I want to be trusting and friendly, it's just not easy for me after what happened with our last one.
It's so hard not having someone here all of the time.  It just doesn't feel right sometimes.  I know the time for a "full-time" pastor for us has probably passed, but it's so hard to get used to.  Guess I better go find my big girl panties and get over it!

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'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...
