First Week Success!

I would say that our first week of school was a success! We worked our scheduling issues out, so now we are all good!
Trey says that his favorite classes are Language (what?) and Science, but he also likes Arithmetic! Who is this kid?! I am so pleased that he enjoys learning now. There is no competition with anyone (except himself) which only makes him a stronger student 😊, which makes me a happy Mama..it's a win/win!!
Makena really likes Spanish. Carlie hated it. Makena has been speaking some Spanish since she was 2 or 3. I would teach her little songs, and how to count to 10...and she loved Dora and Diego!!
Carlie and Makena don't agree on a lot, but the do agree that Geometry sucks! I've told them that it is too early to be forming such strong opinions about a subject!! Hopefully it will grow on them.
Carlie likes Physics (thank you Lord) and World History.
Here are some pictures from our first week:
Can somebody please tell me when he grew up?! We were on break and he wanted me to come out to his tree house to show me some new stuff he put up there. 

Carlie was really concentrating

For some reason it seems to work out that every Thursday evening we go to the river! This week was no different. Makena and Trey decided to tube this time but Carlie still wouldn't!







Noah and Carlie planned a party on Friday for surviving our first week!
We had a pizza pool party!

Eli and Carlie were having a pizza eating contest! I think he beat her by one piece (technically, he doesn't eat all of the pizza but in his mind HE won). He ate 6 and she at 5!

The boys playing with Makena. They love it when she plays basketball with them. Usually they all want to be on her team.

I thought this was a pretty cool picture of Pop in the background

Happy Schooling!!

Much Love,

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...
