Happy 15th Birthday, Makena!!

Happy Birthday to my sweet Makena Faith! Fifteen years....you're old😉 More like I'm old! It seems like just yesterday we were bringing you home from the hospital. You are currently in to watching Netflix, basketball, football, and baseball. You are still playing your musical instruments, but probably play your ukelele and guitar the most. You are a great big sister to Trey, and you try hard to be a great little sister to Carlie...😅😅
You are a blessing from above and we are so thankful for you.
Even though we didn't get to spend your birthday at the beach this year, I think you still had a great one. Carlie and Trey got donuts for breakfast and brought you a balloon. We just couldn't wait for your party to give you your presents, so you got them at breakfast. We went into town and ate at Subway (your favorite) with Daddy for lunch and then came home to open more presents at Nanny's. After work, Daddy grilled hamburgers and then we went back to Nanny and Pop's for your party!!
You got lots of cool things: an Amazon card, a tablet, a flamingo phone case, a visa card, money, a bath bomb with a ring inside, a bluetooth fidgit spinner that lights up (so cool), a Razorback t-shirt, a Razorback garden gnome, earrings, a necklace, and last but not least, Razorback football tickets.
Makena and Mommy 15 years ago!

And now😊

Some of her breakfast goodies!

Opening presents first thing. 

At her party

Maybe she was making a wish?

Blow out those candles!

Happy Birthday, and MANY MORE!!

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

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...
