The Ditchers

Today we (I) decided that we just need a break from school.  I don't work on Thursday's, so we took Nanny with us and went to Pine Bluff.  Now generally if we go shopping we head to Little Rock, but we were specifically looking for Carlie an Easter dress so I thought Pine Bluff would do.  Yes, I hear the no frock thing is in this year, but I am very traditional and feel there is absolutely nothing wrong with dressing up for Easter.  I don't judge people who decide not to, but who doesn't look for a reason to buy new clothes and dress up!
So we did end up find Carlie a dress at Dillard's.  It is solid white lace.  Plain and simple.  Makena will be wearing something that I always said my kids wouldn't wear for Easter.....black and white.  It isn't always easy shopping for her, so when we find something that looks great and she likes, we get it, no matter what color it is.  So I have this vision of putting Trey and Carl in yellow shirts.  We'll see how it all turns out.  We have a back-up dress for Makena :)
After dinner we went with Carl out to the farm to check his deer camera and try out the new backhoe!  Trey loved it.  The girls and I sat in the truck :)
When those tires lifted off the ground, his face lit up!

The sun was really bright!

He just looks so big coming down from there!

After we left the farm we went to Nanny and Pop's house to visit with my sister and her kids.  They didn't get to play for a real long time, but had a blast walking to the river and playing Frisbee and watching Eli play in the mud.  I mean in.the.mud.  He was loving it!  

Just Call Us Ditchers!

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...

Wednesday Loves

Wow, I can't believe it's Wednesday again!  Here are a few things I'm loving this week: I absolutely love this cute little cupcakes. I want to try and make them soon :) I'm loving this idea that came from Merideth .  Trey and I are going to make it for his first day of school.  I know his teacher very well, since both of the girls had her :) I love this Razorback plate from the Magnolia Lane Collection that I got me for my birthday! WOO PIG SOOIE!! And finally, I'm loving my grandmother, or as my kids call her, Grammy. She will be turning 76 on Friday, and I am so blessed to have her be an active part of my life, and my kids lives.  We love you Grammy! What are you loving this week? Beth
