Weekly Update

Well Summer has hit!! It has been warm since May BUT the past week has been miserable. The heat index rises with each day to the point that you feel like your skin is melting if you stay out for more than 5 minutes. The dog days of summer are definitely here. It is this time of year that I feel bad for Carl and whoever else has to work out in it! Needless to say, we have stocked up on water bottles and Powerades.
We have had a pretty good week around here. Makena turned 15, Carlie got her honor roll certificate in the mail, we got all of our school books and dvd's in, and Trey got his new school desk.
How cute are these cupcakes?! Thank you, Sam's Club!!

I cannot begin to tell you how proud I am of this girl!
She is one of the most driven and dedicated people I know. She sets goals and crushes them one by one (in order of course because she is a little OCD). Right now her goal is to graduate from Abeka Academy in Pensacola with full honors, attend college (the location is still to be decided), and then attend pharmacy school. If she accomplishes all of that I will be proud, but if her goals change and she accomplishes none of that, I will also be proud. As long as she puts God first, I know she will do big things by His standards...and that is really all that matters, right?

I can honestly say that I have never seen someone so happy to get school books😂😂

T was pretty excited too. How can my baby be starting 6th grade?! Unreal.

We love this desk!! It was on sale earlier in the summer and we were searching for an actual "school desk". I will let you know if he is still loving it in May🙄

Please excuse the mess in the floor but it was early Saturday morning and I hadn't really got moving yet. As you can see, Trey had and was even serenading me with some AC/DC....amp and all!

Our little birdies are starting to hatch!

Grilling is his "thang", and he really is good at it!

One last picture from Makena's birthday.
I am super proud of this girl too! While she may have gotten her procrastinating skills from her Mama, she is a solid student in school (she missed the honor roll by an 87 in Orchestra..you have to have all A's for the whole year and she had all A's for the second semester) and she is so talented musically. She has a notebook that she has been composing her own songs in and from what I hear (i have to sneak to listen), they are good!
We are working on getting her to play more at church. She is a little shy at times. 

That is pretty much all that we have been up to lately. I have started planning schedules and getting binders in order for school. I'm a little nerdy, so it does excite me a little! We are still enjoying our lazy summer days😁😁

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...

 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...
