Glasses,Hats,Pizza, and The Hogs!

Trey got his new glasses, and I must say he looks so handsome in them!

Grammy and Papa gave Trey a hat (kind of for his birthday, kind of not!)

We had a few days of  cooler weather and evidently, it was a little too cold for Makena Faith in our house, so she broke out the hoodie.  By the way, yes, she is taking a test in her pajama pants at the kitchen table!  We love homeschooling :)

We made pizza's on Friday night.  We bought the crusts and the kids picked what they wanted on their own.  You know we have to do/ have three of everything!  Carlie made a cheese stuffed crust (she used crescent rolls) pizza, Makena made taco pizza, and Trey made a hamburger and pepperoni pizza.  They were the best we have ever made and they had fun doing it!

It has been one week since rice harvest started and let me just say, I am SO over it!
Carl and I have been together for 20 years and married for 17 and I don't think I will EVER get used to being a single mom!  One night a dump broke down and of course he was already in the late pull, so he didn't even make it home until 9:30.  Our kids go to bed at 9:00 (typically)....again, this is a perk to homeschooling.  They were able to stay up and talk to him for a little while before going to bed.  If we had still been in "school" they would have already been in bed, and probably asleep!
I am just ready for it to be over because I am D.O.N.E.  (and like I said, we are just beginning, so pray for me and for rain, SOMETHING!!)!  Maybe its because we are already home all day as it is, I don't know.

Saturday we dressed in our Razorback attire and called the Hogs to a victory against Louisiana Tech!  It wasn't be best playing I've seen from them, but maybe they will get better as the season goes on (we hope!)!  Carlie wasn't interested in the Razorback game because her beloved Mississippi State Bulldogs just lost to Southern Alabama, and she was a little miffed! 

Carl made it home a little early (like 30 minutes) so we went out to the farm to put out some game cameras.  He had a HUGE buck on his camera and was super pumped!  Trey has been busy putting corn out  in the back pasture for "his" deer.  Carl killed a pretty good buck back there a couple of years ago (we named him Backyard Buck), so it isn't totally unrealistic that he will see one.  So far we've only gotten doe, but he's anticipating that big buck!

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...
