Back to School

Nanny and Grammy came by and took their annual picture with the kids.
Only Nanny just took a picture of the kids and not with them.

Carlie, Makena, and Trey were pumped for their first day of homeschool!

Carlie watching her Bible video

See how happy he is :)
Makes me happy too!!

For his Science class we made a living flower exhibit.

Here it is with the flowers in it.  He made it himself, I only supervised!
This is something that he definitely wouldn't have gotten to do in school.
He enjoyed it a lot. 

Well, we made it!! Our first day of homeschool was a success.  We had a few minor technical difficulties first thing this morning with Carlie's computer not wanting to play her video's but other than that it went smoothly. The kids seemed to enjoy it.  We talked about their video teachers and the kids in their classes as well as one teacher that Makena thought was "adorkable" --her words, not mine!
The girls had homework (which they finished right after they were done watching videos for the day) but Trey will not have any until next week. He does have a couple of small quizzes this week.  The girls have quizzes almost everyday for the rest of the week!  ABeka is a tough curriculum but I wouldn't have it any other way!  I know that even though we don't have to take a standardized test (according to Arkansas state law), they will test above grade level on just about every subject.
Anyway, it has been a great day and we can't wait to see what tomorrow holds!

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

 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...
