Just Smile!

Whew, ya'll! Finishing up another doozie here on the homestead and thought I would share a few details (and pics) of our fun, busy week.

My big girl is having the time of her life in the big city.

This Carlie with her roommate, Destini.  They were all ready for their first day of clinicals.

Anna Grace and Makena being silly at the Senior Citizen Bash at church.

Makena and I had a quick photo session one day.  I'm jealous of how photogenic she is!

Trey with his vampire pumpkin.

Carlie with her finished masterpiece.

They worked so hard.  I am just glad they are able to do it themselves now.

Trey's Saturday bowling scholarship league with their check from the Lions Club.

Trey finished this term in first place and with $100 in his scholarship fund.
He also got his invitation papers for a tournament in March, not counting the State tournament in April. He is also talking about trying out for the high school bowling team next year. I am excited for him to be more involved, especially since next year he will be my only homeschool student.


This sweet girl finished her first week of clinicals and decided that she wants to go apply for medical school in the fall of 2021.  I am so proud of her, no matter what she ends up doing. 


And this girl breaks my heart every time she tells me how much she wants to go to college in Florida.  She tells me how much she has prayed about it.  How do you argue with that?  I tell her that if that is where God wants her to be, he will make a way for her to be there. Maybe that is mom and dad's cue to make a move in a different direction (seriously).  She is waiting to take the ACT at the end of the month before she spends the money to apply there and one other college in state. I don't know what God has in store for her but I hope that she always has a heart to do His work.

Life is hard.
Smiling doesn't necessarily mean you're happy,
Sometimes it just means you're strong.
Just keep smiling.

Much Love,
Beth

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...

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!...
