Well here we are on our 4th week of school. We've made it through getting back in the "swing of things" and now through our first three day weekend of the school year. Thank you, Labor Day for a nice little break!


We had fun playing in the pool today.


They were having a contest to see who could stay on the whale the longest.


So much fun!


Somebody didn't want to get their picture made!


Trey and Pop were racing.


Nanny got in on the fun, too!!
Things have been going great! Carl is super-busy cutting rice right now. I think in the past two weeks the kids only got to see him an hour or less each night before bed. We miss him, but are thankful for no-work Sunday's!


We spent a little time out at the farm fixing Carl's deer feeder yesterday.


We all had a pretty good time except one person...


MAKENA! She is always ready to leave!
Carlie is having a blast in High School! She is doing very well, making 100's on almost every test/quiz she takes!


She took her drivers test a couple of weeks ago (the driving part ), and failed. She was crushed. I finally got her calmed down enough to go back to school. The kids in her room were super sweet and told her it would be okay :) She says she isn't taking it again until November. That's fine with me as long as she KNOWS she is ready!!
Makena is doing great too! She had a bad incident with her "friend" Harlee. Makena asked her why they weren't hanging out much anymore and she told her it was because they didn't have anything in common. How mean is that?! Especially when Makena lost most of her friends taking up for that wierdo! Yeah, I may be a little upset. She has been hanging out with a few of the boys in her class along with a couple of younger girls. Same crap different day with the mean girls in her class. I still pray that one day she will find a real friend. She still really likes her teacher. She is also still taking piano, playing the ukulele, and looking forward to basketball season!

She's got talent!
Trey - Man is just lovin' life. He has been doing well in school for the most part. He battled last weekend and the beginning of last week with bronchitis. He had a lot of work/tests/quizzes to make up, so that hurt him a little, but we're all good now and ready to get back on track. He loves riding the 4 wheeler after school, and he just started piano again last week. He is so excited about learning to play. He's had a year already and loves it!


He really did feel bad! His doctor was pretty concerned about his breathing. We are so thankful that he is better!
And me, I'm just doing my thang here and there and everywhere. Trying my best to do whatever is needed and to stay on top of things. That's what Mom's do, right?!
Much Love,
Beth

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...

Friday Favorites

 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 ...
