Farm Safety Day 2016

Trey, Atticus, and Braden

We learned about being safe with electricity.

They got to wear some of the gloves that linemen use when fixing and working with electricity.

We also learned about boating safety.
Trey got to be a demonstrator :)
He liked the attention.

This was our gun safety instructor.
He was a little bit of a grouch.  Party pooper!!

Here we learned about germs.  It was fittingly named, "Germ City".

Trey and the other kids learning about tractor and lawnmower safety.

Can you see Bubba in the background?  The main lesson here was "Don't be a Bubba"!  Pay attention when you're around machinery.

Here was our fire safety instructor.  I didn't get to watch it because they piled the whole group in that little trailer for the lecture and then filled it with "smoke" and let them climb out of the back window.

I guess you would call this class animal safety. The kiddos got to handle a baby alligator and touch some snakes.  It wasn't really my favorite, but they all seemed to like it.

I caught Trey touching the alligator.

Well, folks I made it through my last Farm Safety Day!  I have been to it will all three of my kids over a period of five years and not a lot has changed!  Trey was however, the only one that has been homeschooled.  We signed up and went all on our own and they put us in a group with the private school kids, so Trey got to be with some of his buddies from school.  There are three main private schools in the area, and two of them seem to have nice kids.  There is one in the area (that will remain nameless) whose kids were so snobbish....and it is supposed to be a Christian School! If you're kids are as mean to others as I saw them be, you got some work to do.  I am extremely glad that Trey won't have to deal with that everyday. 
Maybe I was just tired, maybe I'm getting old, but one thing I know for sure, I am glad that I do not have to go back to one of these!!!

It was fun to spend a day with Trey!

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

  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

 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...
