Ball, Pork Butts, Dogs, & Cars

The weather has been so off and on lately!  One day it's cold, the next it's warm.  On the warm days it's VERY hard to get my crew to come in by 7 so we can check homework and get showers!  They spend a lot of time playing back yard ball and just hanging out!


Batter up!

Carlie likes to be right in the middle of it!

On Saturday Carl decided to cook a couple of pork butts.  He had some great help in the form of Makena and Trey.  I didn't get a picture of Makena, but she helped prepare them before they got on the grill.  Trey helped keep the moist :)  Who knows, he may be the next BBQ PitMaster!

He so big!  Where did my baby go?!

So yummy :)

Trey also took time to walk our big dog, Sam.

Saturday around 1 we got our house guest for the night....Major.
This is the most spoiled dog you have EVER met.  He is very well behaved and very smart, but is very worrysome not to mention he's like a miniature horse!!  I have to admit, I was glad when he left early Sunday morning:)

Monday was a busy day.
I had to drop my car off at the shop to be fixed (finally), then Carl took me to Pine Bluff to get a rental, then I had to go to school and work, THEN we had a pizza party at Pizza Hut for our basketball team!
It was a lot of fun and the girls seemed to enjoy themselves too :)

Sam, Harlee, Makena, Hope, Anna Grace, and Karmen
I think Hope had about 5 or 6 pieces of pizza!

Speaking of the rental, here she is.  A 2014 GMC Yukon XL.  It had most everything you can get in a car, in it!  Carl said they made a mistake when they gave me this to drive!  It is super nice, but the gas mileage is AWFUL and I realized very fast how hard it is to keep black clean!   I can't wait to get my car back Thursday :)

That's pretty much all we have been up to since last Thursday.  The girls have been pretty busy studying/taking 9weeks exams, so the homework load hasn't been terrible, but the studying in absolutely insane.  I'm so proud of them.  They haven't made any B's so far ;)  I wish I had been that smart in school.
They are both looking forward to spending some time with friends this weekend....a much deserved break!

Next week is Spring Break, and I'd be lying if I said I was actually looking forward to it.  It's really going to be pretty boring.  We have no big plans, and the weather isn't looking to be that great.  Oh well, at least we can sleep in!

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...

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!...
