Happy Love Day!

Carlie got a HUGE bag of Swedish Fish!

Makena got chocolates

Trey got his in bed because he woke up feeling yucky!

Even the dog and cat were loving on each other!!

When Carl got home from work he brought all of us goodies😊

We also had Discovery on Valentine's night. We had pizza, games, and class time. I think that the kids had the most fun playing the Hungry, Hungry Hippo game! Trey didn't play because he just didn't feel like it. He was perfectly fine the next day (after we pumped him with his allergy meds).


The kids in the Helper class made paintings instead of playing games.

Jack. This kid is a mess! He is also hilarious 😊
Definitely keeps me in my toes.

We had a pretty good love day here on the homestead. We really toned it down as far as presents go, this year. I just felt like it was getting a little too much. I got the kids goody bags with candy in them and Carl brought a couple of small things in. One of the greatest parts of the day was when my mom told me what happened when she took some of the teens around to give the widows in the church some goodies. Ya'll..one of them said that she had gone to her mailbox hoping that some one had sent her a card, but there wasn't one.  Needless to say she was thrilled that she got some goodies on this "love " day. That is what life is all about. Showing the love of God to others is a lot more important than the roses, candy, and jewelry. He loved us so much that He sent His Son to die for every single one of us. I know it is no coincidence that every preacher that has preached at our church lately has spoken about showing that same love to others because we may be the only Jesus they see. I believe God is reminding us just how important it is to show kindness and to love and serve others. 

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...
