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! 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...

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
