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! 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...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, Friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. What a week it has been! Having picnics with Wrenley and Makena were pretty high up on my favorites list. She wanted a lunchable (big surprise there!) while Makena and I had tuna salad. Playing outside is a must with Wrenley! And she loves making sure the bird bath has plenty of water! Another thing on my favorites list is listening to Trey play the guitar. This smile is also my favorite! We had a celebration for my son-in-law, Caleb this week. He is a pretty great guy and we are thankful that he is "ours" now :)  He is my favorite son-in-law! As I was studying for my Gospel Project lesson earlier this week I realized we only have 3 more lessons! That means that summer break is just 3 weeks away (for our Wednesday night program)! Although I will still have to prepare lessons for Sunday School and VBS.  Summer is my favorite! This summer will be extra sp...
