Back To School 2018

Wow, this summer really did fly by! We spent lots of time at the river, pool, and finally the beach. Because we ordered our curriculum a few weeks late we put our start date off a week later than we normally would have...and those appointments that I talked about in my previous post. Here are a few pictures of our weekend before back to school:
Makena wanted her desk painted, so of course we waited until 4 days before school started to do it!


Grammy made the most delicious fried apple pies!

Grammy also fixed us breakfast for dinner one night. 
Of course it was delicious!  She loves our family well and we are thankful to have her and Papa actively in the lives of our children.

We also went to the river with my parents and the Simpson kiddos.
The boys could have spent many more hours building things in the sand.

We went to visit Carl's parents in Wynne and got to meet his great-nephew for the first time.  He is the sweetest little baby. 

Carlie and baby Mattox

Makena Faith and baby Mattox

Trey Landon and baby Mattox
He may or may not have tooted in Trey's hand!

Makena and Trey are bowling in the youth scholarship league on Saturday mornings. I am a little sad that Carlie isn't bowling but she will be a busy lady to say the least!
Makena was pleased with her first session.

Trey did great also!

Homeschool planner is ready for many plans!

Carlie Erin is a high school senior and a part-time college student this year! She is also working three days a week.

Makena Faith is a junior this year.  She loves playing her instruments and all things Harry Potter.

Trey Landon is in the 7th grade now!  He would be in the 8th but his birthday is late, so he is one of the tallest 7th graders I know!  He is taller than I am and is catching up with Makena and Carl quickly.

Makena still loves her Razorback also!   
She got it from her mama, wink wink!

I am no photographer, but I am pretty proud of this picture..and this girl!

We have had a great start to what we hope and pray, is a great year! 

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...
