Happy Thanksgiving Week!

Time is flying by. But seriously, due to the fact that Thanksgiving fell so late in the month, November seemed eternally long. We have had fun celebrating this week with family.

It's all fun and games at the Wings Over the Prairie Festival 

Noah, Elijah, Ellie Kate,  and Trey were having a blast!

Carl took Trey duck hunting on Thanksgiving morning. It totally made his day!

Love my boys!

Makena and Toby. 
My three nuggets
I am so thankful for them!

Papa and Grammy. 
At 91 and 84 -with early onset alzheimers, you better bet I'm thankful to be spending another Thanksgiving with them. 

My sister was suffering from kidney stones, and her boys were unwilling to get in the picture, so this picture of Ellie Kate and Tim is going to be their family.  I am thankful them all.

And this guy will never know how much he means to me.
This has been a dozy of a year but it has made our bond ever closer.
I am thankful for my Carl.

And these two... my parents
I am more thankful for you both with each passing day. 

My dad and Noah ran in the Great Duck Race 5K.
Noah runs cross country, so it was no biggy for him.
My dad has been training for months now. It was a great accomplishment for him to run this. After having knee surgery on both knees and being in remission fro prostate cancer, I would definitely say he is a winner! He did win his age division by the way. 
I am proud of you, Dad!


Happy Thanksgiving, friends!
Remember,  there is always something to be thankful for.

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...

  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...

 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...
