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. 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...

Friday Favorites

  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...

Friday Favorites

 It's been a hot minute since I've linked up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for a Friday Favorites! This is me trying to get back into my blogging groove :) I came across this little dress last year when we moved, and I knew it would be fit Wrenley this summer! It was Makena's circa 2004.  I just love it when a plan comes together.  A favorite for sure! Look at those babies. Twenty years has flown by. Miss Wrenley Beth. She doesn't look a thing like her momma, but definitely has Aunt Makena's sass! Hopefully as her hair grows, she will get Carlie's curls. We have been doing as much outdoor activities as possible.  That includes one of my favorite things...fishing! Carl, showing off his big bass. We weren't technically bass fishing, but whatever bites. It'll eat! Of course we have also been going to the river.  Our kids weren't able to go with us, so we just took the jet ski.   It has been raining so the water is a gross brown. I didn't s...
