More Fall Fun!

Things have suddenly gotten super busy around here. Carl has been working late with soybean harvest, basketball practice is in full swing, piano lessons, 9 week exams, church activities....it's been a LOT!
Last Friday night we finally decided to carve our pumpkins after Carl got in from work.


Carl always helps them get started!


Getting rid of the "pumpkin guts"






Always knew that electric knife would come in handy!


Drawing his face


Ta Da!


The weather was nice and cool, but due to the burn ban, we weren't able to have a bonfire. We did cheat and have a small fire in the pit of Carl's smoker :)
Have I ever told you that Carlie is our group - activity leader? Well, she attempts to plan out our vacation every year; where we go, when we go,etc. Well, she had an idea to do fall pictures. She picked out her clothes and Trey's. Makena decided that if she had to take pictures (which she hates), she was at least going to wear what she picked! Here are some of the pictures we took last Saturday:

I absolutely love this one!


Sweet sisters


I think the word, "Bye Felicia" may have been spoken as they were walking away!!


Another one of my faves
We all had fun with our mini photo shoot.
Carl got off at lunch on Saturday because they had a breakdown on the combine so he was able to get in on that fun! We went out and got his box stand moved and ready to hunt in. It was a pretty fun day.
The days are getting shorter and the weather is finally starting to cool off. If we could just get some rain, we would be in good shape (Lord, please send us some rain)!


Makena had her first basketball game on Tuesday night. The Lady Mustangs got their first win on their season opener! Very proud of my #55! Trey hasn't had game yet, and as far as I know they don't have any scheduled yet. He is ready, though! Carlie has decided to take the year off. I hope she doesn't regret it, but I didn't want to have to make her do it all season, either.
So, that is all the Fall Fun we have been having around here lately!
Much Love
Beth

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

 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...

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!...
