Our Weekend in Branson

He is such a goofball!

We made a stop at the Apple Tree Mall and of course Makena found a guitar and fell in love.

Carlie doesn't play any instruments but we decided she might play the tambourine, lol!

Trey found Mater!

At the Dixie Stampede!

Waiting to go in

This was an old folks tp group from St. Louis.  It was funny because they were so stiff!

Selfie time!!


This was the first time we have ever seen the Christmas Show
It was beautiful!
We decided that we needed a little get away. Things have been a little crazy around here and a break was just what we needed! We left early Friday morning. The first thing we did was buy tickets to the Dixie Stampede. We could only get in at the 8pm show, which was not my first choice, but we took it and it all worked out really well!
Saturday we drove to Springfield to go to the Bass Pro Shop. We haven't been in years so it was nice to see all of the changes.
Fun times!

My girlies

The kids at Santa's workshop 

We were relaxing in the camping section while the boys were shopping.

Trey was trying to have a serious face like a soldier in this one...

Then there is this one!

Fun with my middle baby in the hot tub.

Makena and Trey moved to the pool

Carl made his way in too!!

Saturday night we went to The Promise Land Zoo drive through lights.

Just a couple of monkeys :)

Pretty peacock

Bird

Bucks

This crazy reindeer wouldn't be still so I could get a good picture. He was very friendly though. 

We also almost froze to death riding the Branson Ferris Wheel.
It was awesome...cold, but awesome.

We had such a good time on this trip! We laughed harder than we have in a long time. I guess that just says a lot about how much we needed to get away!

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

 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...
