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

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...

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 ...
