Let Freedom Ring

Happy Independence Day! There are so many freedoms that I am thankful for! The freedom to homeschool my children, freedom of speech, freedom to worship the Almighty God, the freedom to protect my family, and the list goes on. We all know that freedom for our great nation wasn't given freely. Our forefathers fought and died in hope that one day their ancestors would be able to do the very things that we all too often take for granted, today.

 We had a great day of celebration in the Munger house. Carl worked first thing but made it back in time to cook fish at my parent's house for lunch (with the help of my dad, Trey, and Papa). My mom invited my dad's sister and her husband to eat with us and a couple of people from church. We had a fun time of food, fellowship, and swimming!

After a little pool time we came back home. Trey wanted to do some fireworks, so he went out to the garden and found a few cucumbers that were overgrown and he put firecrackers in them and they exploded....boys! The things they do for fun blows my mind.
He was having a blast!
After a quick break and a bite to eat we loaded up the tube and went to the river. My dad got his fishing boat fixed so we all went to the sandbar. Trey was the only one to tube but we all had a good time.

Carl decided to flip off of the floating tube. Thankfully he didn't die! The water WAS NOT very deep there.

Walks on the beach are good; even if it is a beach on the White River in rural Arkansas.


We made it home just in time to unload and change before our fireworks show.
Keep in mind this was our own private backyard show with my parents and grandparents. It's kind of a tradition around here. The only way I would purposely break it is if I were to have the opportunity to spend it off...like out of Arkansas, off.

Grammy even did a sparkler!

I am never good at taking firework pictures.
Minus the nighlight and the pole, it's a good picture. 

I do love them!!


It was a fun day spent with great people!

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

 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...
