Weekend ReCap

Well, well, well, look who's blogging!!  I am trying to channel my inner creativity ( its seems to become less and less with every passing year), so I thought blogging may help.  We have been so lazy lately.  We just hang out at home, clean the house, feed the animals, water the garden/plants (even though we have had our share of rain lately), and hang out at the pool.  We had a pretty great weekend.  Carl was mysteriously off this weekend (not really, they were just anticipating rain that didn't show up until Sunday) so we made the most of it!
Friday night Carlie went out with a friend, so Carl, Makena, Trey, and I had a little bonfire.  We moved our fire pit closer to the house because let's face it, the bugs are bad enough up close, but they are awful in the back pasture!  We stayed out until after Carlie made it back.

Carl finally gave in and made Trey a pool out of his 4wheeler trailer!
He was thrilled!!

Makena may or may not have been whiney about the bugs :(

She likes to ride the 4wheeler when she can get Trey off of it.

Carl was backing Trey up to our bonfire spot.
Redneckory at it's finest!

It was a pretty great night.

I woke up feeling like poo on Saturday but was determined that we were gonna get the heck out of Dodge! Carl washed his truck, my car, and helped Carlie wash her car.  After lunch we headed to South Arkansas County to visit the Arkansas Post.  Yes, we have been going there about every other year for the past 7 or 8 years but the kids still think it's okay and we mainly went to walk the trails and just hang out as a family and get exercise.  It was a beautiful day and even though it was supposed to rain, it only sprinkled on our way home.  After the Arkansas Post we went to Tichnor to Merrasach Lake and Campground.  We have been wanting to go camping and we thought it might be best to start off somewhere close.  It was pretty nice and there was a pretty good crowd but we think we will probably just stick with Tyler Bend on the Buffalo (no mosquitos!!).  When we got back home my parents had made it back from Padre Island, TX.  They took a much needed break and had a great time from what I can tell.  We got lots of goodies from their adventure  :) 

We spent a small amount of time inside the visitor center checking out some of the exhibits

Trey found a fur!

There were all different kinds of furs: skunks, coyotes, coon, deer...

Carl and Makena walking.

I love these three!
So evidently they believed WAY BACK that stump water could get rid of warts.
I'm not sure about all of that BUT Carl couldn't resist putting his finger in there (he doesn't have a wart)!

If you zoom in you can see the stump water.

I do love him.. :)

Of course they had to check their phones!

Trey was looking for a gator...they have been spotted here!

I love spending time with these people!

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...
