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

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...

 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 ...
