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. 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...

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...

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
