This and That



I took Makena to the doctor for her back pain. 
We were doing our best to NOT get the flu while we were there.

Poor baby girl got a muscle relaxer and an anti-inflammatory pill

Carlie is shopping for her senior ring!
I can't believe how close we are to her senior year. It makes me both excited and sad.

Excuse all of the redneckery going on in this picture!
Trey cut the sleeves out of this reunion shirt when it got a hole in the armpit🤣
He was working on his current event in history. He chose an article about the volcanic eruption in the Philippines, which just happens to be where our new missionary at church is from. Thankfully he isn't near the eruption, but Trey thought it was cool.

And here is a picture of liitle-old me!

And on Friday...this happened. Makena tested positive for the flu. Yes, we probably got it FROM the clinic when we were there on Monday🤒😷
We all got Tamiflu or a generic form of it. I feel so bad for her. If you are reading this and have time to send up a quick prayer,  we would really appreciate it! It is a tad bit scary if you let yourself dwell on it...so I try to stay busy taking care of her. The only problem is that I have had a headache so bad that I can hardly hold my head up. I'm sure it is either the flu trying to come on or a side effect of the Tamiflu. I only have a slight cough,  so who knows. I just want her to be better. The doctor said she should be good by Monday,  so if she isn't she will be headed back to see him!

Last Duck hunt until next season



Creation revealing the majesty of our God!

Couldn't leave Sadie out

Or Olly  and Pea

Maybe this wasn't the best of weeks but we made it through. I was finally able to make it to the eye doctor! I am no longer wearing my glasses. It isn't that they are completely gross or anything but they are just super annoying! We also had to put two new tires on Carlie's car (grr). So yeah, rough week but I know it could have been so much worse. Let me tell me what comforts me other than knowing God is in control...knowing His people are praying you through situations. I have been chatting with our new missionary from the Philippines through Facebook and he is such a delight to talk to. He loves the Lord and doing His work. He has also prayed scripture over me. Now a while ago I would have told you that was crazy talk but now I know how great and powerful it really is. 
So, we are pushing through this week. Praying that everybody is better to start the new week.
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...
