Weekend Recap: Mother's Day Edition

 Happy Monday friends!  We are coming off of a great weekend here on the homestead!  

We were able to get Makena moved back home on Friday (Hallelujah, Praise the Lord!) just in time for Mother's Day!  

And we officially have two seniors now!

We had to stop by and grab a bite to eat at the Hamburger Barn before coming home.  We earned every bite after all of those trips up/down the stairs (the elevator only worked one direction and was a little out of our way).  Makena looks so tired in this picture.  She was a busy as a bee during her last three weeks of school.  She is looking forward to working at our local museum over summer break and of course has a beach trip planned (without her mama :( ) with her friends along with our family vacation and hopefully LOTS of time on the water!  She will also begin the application process for grad schools.  

Trey is staying busy working for my Aunt and Uncle and mowing a few yards.  Last summer he tried his hand at working an inside job.  He hated it.  He would much rather be outside (even in the steamy Arkansas heat).  I feel like we hardly saw him last summer, so seeing as this could possibly be his last summer living at home (he wants to move to our other house..), I am more than happy have him around a little more and soak up every last minute with him (even if that does mean cleaning up after him!).

Me with two of my babies before church.
Carlie, Caleb, and Wren came sliding in just in time for church,
so no pretty picture with all of us.

Trey and Boone look so thrilled.

Love him :)

Now we look like bums, but we did manage to get a picture before Carlie had to leave.
They had all been sick.  I was glad they felt well enough to come out for a little bit.


The most selfless person I know.
I hope to be to my kids, what she is to me.

My Grammy with Wren

I had a great Mother's Day and I am thankful to have been able to spend it with my kids, Mom, and Grammy.

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...
