It's That Time Again!

Happy Labor Day friends! If you were blessed to have the day off be thankful for that break, if you were grinding it out like every other work day, be thankful for that as well. We are just plain thankful around here!
It's that time of year again when Carl goes misssing. Well, not really misssing, he's just not around as much. That can only mean one thing, it's harvest time.





Carl contributed these awesome pictures for the blog today. Isn't he just the sweetest?!

While he's working at the farm, we are here at home, having a regular school day. Makena and Trey had tests at the end of last week and Makena had one today. I hate to lose steam when we are on a roll! We will be taking off tomorrow because Makena has an appointment with her neurosurgeon in Little Rock. We are hoping she will officially be released. I don't see any reason why she wouldn't be, but we are just trying to be extra careful this go around. She is really eager to find a job but I am a little more hesitant. I just don't want her to have to go through another surgery.
Carlie was off school today but has been super busy studying for some pretty important tests she has coming up both this week and next week. When she passes them she will be considered a sophomore in her surgical tech program. Clinicals are right around the corner!! She is excited to get into the OR.
We had lunch with my parents today. Carlie and Makena made a quick trip to town to pick up some pizza for lunch and I made a lemon cake. Not the most nutritional meal, but it hit the spot. As soon as we got back home Trey went out to the chicken coop to make sure they had plenty of food and water (something he was probably supposed to do before we ate lunch). Trey called me and said that we got an egg!
 At first I thought he was playing a trick on me because, that's what Trey does! I walked out to the coop and there it was: one little egg! We knew it was getting time for them to start laying. I wish I knew which hen it was...I could always set up a coop-cam. When they all start laying, I should get a dozen eggs a day. When we had chickens before Trey would sell them to our neighbor, my grandmother, and my mom. Maybe that could be Makena's new job! I feel pretty safe with her doing that. 








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...
