A Birthday, Church Camp, & Fishing

Happy Birthday to ME!!
Yesterday was actually my birthday, but we pretty much celebrated all weekend long.  We went to eat Chinese on Friday night and then we went to Little Rock on Saturday, and my parents took us out after church for lunch.  I had a great birthday :)

Our church camp crew with Carlie, Trey, George Strait (white dog), and Remy (black dog)!

This girl was super excited to leave for camp :)
I will miss her so much, but I had to let her go...it's just a part of growing up that I will have to get used to, I guess.

My sista and the kids came to see me today and bring me my birthday present!
The kids enjoyed my cake too :)

Jamie made me these Razorback pillows to go on my (very dirty) Razorback bench!
I love them!

We finished the day up by trying to catch some fish.  We didn't get any, but we had a good time anyway.  I was proudly sportin' my Mama Bear shirt from Amazon.  It fits my personality perfectly!!

I am waiting for Makena to call me and tell me good night as I am typing this post.  I have gotten nothing but happy reports from her and my mother since they left.  She doesn't have much cell service, which is not making me very happy, but as long as I hear from her once or twice a day, I guess I will be okay.  She has also decided that she wants to work at a camp when she is older (don't go rushing things, sister).  I can totally see her doing that.
Carlie, Trey, and I went to the Superintendent's office today to fill out an Intent to Homeschool waiver.  It is very real now and we are excited.  I have worked this past week on getting the kids signed up for some activities so they will be "socialized", which is almost a joke.  They have church and it's not like we are going to be secluded to our house. They will be fine, and I'm not just saying that to reassure myself.  I am saying it because it is true.  Trey will not have a teacher that will refuse to let him leave the room when they clean the class on Fridays (remember his dust mite allergy), Carlie will not have to put up with an impartial teacher who teaches both of her hellion kids ( Makena would be in that class this year too), and I will not have to work where I have to bite my tongue off the majority of the day!  It's a win-win-win!!!

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!...
