Rockin' Into the New Year!

Hello 2019!  It's hard to believe that 2018 went by so fast.  We had a pretty uneventful NYE, just chilling with the family.  Last year we fixed seafood (crab and shrimp with all the fixin's) and ate at home with just our little family.  This year we extended it to my parents, grandparents, and my sister and her kids.  We celebrated in my parents garage so the kids could have room to play ping pong and have room to goof around.  My dad fried up some fish, french fries, hush puppies, and biscuits because some people didn't like the heat of our crab boil goodies.
So yummy!

They don't mind working for their food.


Grammy hadn't ever eaten crab, but seemed to enjoy her meal.


After we ate we played ping pong and Uno, then we took our party home.

Uno!

We played Monopoly and shot some fireworks then watched the ball drop.  The most excitement was when I tripped over a case of water bottles and rolled across the dining room floor.  Everybody got a big kick out of that! Everyone except me...but it really was probably funny to watch.  I felt it today!
Doesn't everybody wear their "business hat" when they play Monopoly?!

Sadie was helping Carl 

Carlie loves her some Oliver Von Watson
He just wanted some food.

Everyone stayed in bed pretty late today..like 10 o'clock late.  That never happens around here. I foresee being pretty unproductive today!

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 am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
