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

 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...

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 ...
