Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there! A mother's love is one of the first loves we know. She nurtured us; provided for us. She was there when we took our first steps and said our first words. I am blessed to have a mother who not only knew the importance of taking care of my physical needs, but also my spiritual needs. She took me to church as a small child and made sure that I knew that even though she loved me more than I could ever know, there was someone who loved more...Jesus. It was (and still is) important to her. She tried her best to make sure I had the opportunity to know Jesus on a personal level and accept His salvation. That is the greatest thing she has ever done for me.
It is because of her love for me that I know Christ as my Savior and that I have followed in her footsteps and made sure that my kids had that same opportunity.
I am not saying that she is perfect...she is human. I am certainly not saying that I am perfect. I fail daily.  She is however, one of the most unselfish, caring people I know.
It's funny the things people say that just stick with you. Way back when I was a freshman in high school a former teacher of mine told me to be good to my mom because she would be my best friend one day. Of course I was like, yeah right. There is no way she will be my best friend! I can honestly say that she is my best friend. We talk several times a day EVERY day. She prays for me and I pray for her.
I am so very thankful that God chose me to be her daughter!

My Mom and Grammy

She has always been the best!

Me and my three babies!
I love them so much.

I had an awesome Mother's Day. We went to church, ate lunch at Grammy's, and hung out at the pool after church tonight. Oh, and I caught a quick Sunday afternoon nap. It was delightful!

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...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, Friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. What a week it has been! Having picnics with Wrenley and Makena were pretty high up on my favorites list. She wanted a lunchable (big surprise there!) while Makena and I had tuna salad. Playing outside is a must with Wrenley! And she loves making sure the bird bath has plenty of water! Another thing on my favorites list is listening to Trey play the guitar. This smile is also my favorite! We had a celebration for my son-in-law, Caleb this week. He is a pretty great guy and we are thankful that he is "ours" now :)  He is my favorite son-in-law! As I was studying for my Gospel Project lesson earlier this week I realized we only have 3 more lessons! That means that summer break is just 3 weeks away (for our Wednesday night program)! Although I will still have to prepare lessons for Sunday School and VBS.  Summer is my favorite! This summer will be extra sp...
