Happy Birthday to Me!!

Well it is here...the last year in my 30's! How that is possible I don't know! I mean, I remember when 30 was old!! Now I just think that most 30 year olds have no idea what life is really about😉
I had a very laid back birthday. Carlie woke me up with a long john with a candle in it and a diet coke and Makena gave me a present from her as soon as she got up! She got me a pig picture to go in my dining area and I love it! Carlie and Trey had already given me their present last week because Carlie just couldn't wait. I got a smartwatch from them. It may be smarter than I am!
After lunch we went over to my parents house so my niece and nephews could give me the gifts they picked out. Ellie Kate and Eli got me a Pioneer Woman cookie jar and Noah got me an insulated can holder for my diet cokes😊 I think they were probably most proud to give me the card...it had a poop emoji with a pull string so it talks and sings all kinds of potty phrases! Why do kids love potty talk so much?!
My parents, my family, and my sister and her kids all went to eat Mexican for dinner. Carlie and my mom even made me a pig cake. I hope it is because I like pigs and not because they think I am one!! It was cute.
I got lots of goodies and money but the best gift was being with those that love me, even when I'm hard to love.

Here I am gathering eggs with my egg apron on.

My sister got that for me😊

My pig cake...yes, it looks like Peppa Pig and yes, that is another cake beside it!!

I had a great day and feel very blessed to be 39!!

Much Love,

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...

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...

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...
