Orange Beach 2015 Part 3

On our third day down, we decided to go to Pensacola. Last year we went down to visit Pensacola Christian Academy, which is the school where the Abeka videos are made. Our school uses those videos to teach our kids. We went back this year and the kids picked up a few things then we made a drive by the beach (across the 3 mile bridge), and came back to our beach to swim.


This was at Pensacola Beach, FL
Notice how pretty the water was! Unfortunately, it was not that pretty down on our beach when we got back. There was so much seaweed and so many jellyfish that it was near impossible to enjoy yourself. We stayed on the sand and then went in to get ready early because we were going to The Hangout!


Trey had a blast playing in the bubbles


The girls


Carlie requested a picture by herself


Finally got all three of them


Then Trey wanted his own picture


The coolest parents ever had to have one too ;)


Goodbye hangout, it was a great visit!


When we got back to the hotel Carl, Carlie, and Trey went out to play ball on the beach and me and Makena just chilled out. She read a book and I soaked it all in. There is just something about the beach that makes you just say, "wow God, you are one awesome Creator". He knows exactly how many grains of sand are there, how many fish, He created that beautiful sunrise/sunset...it all points to Him.


We also saw this little guy while we were sitting. He ran across the rail in front of us then ran down it and Makena finally got a picture of it.


It was a nice evening.


I love spending time with my family. I'm so thankful for all of them!

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...
