Life Lately

Life lately has been a whole lot of the same...social distancing, staying home, blah blah BLAH. Here are a few fun things we've been doing:

Makena had a zoom call with her advisor and got her fall classes all set up!
Things are getting real. It makes me sad and proud at the same time.

Trey has started his mowing business again. 

We have been getting some good use out of the Blackstone this week, cooking fajitas and chicken. Disregard my dirty kitchen window...i had to hurry and snap a picture before he noticed me. He was being supervised by Carl.

We went for a ride to the farm on ATV's. 

Two by two. Caleb and Carlie, Makena and Trey, and me and Carl.
It was a fun but long ride (about 7 miles to get there).
 It was a cold ride back home.

My Grammy has the most beautiful flowers in her yard and has been fixing bouquets. She surprised me with these last week. They smell delightful!

Mr. Frog has no idea that his days are probably numbered. I haven't been frog hunting with the boys yet, but Trey and I have been scouting a bit. 
Hopefully frog legs will be on the menu soon.

On Saturday night we got the whole family to come over for dinner. 
Carl grilled chicken (not from our coop😉) and I fixed the sides. There were 12 people packed in our little house. I guess you could say we were nice and cozy. Even if I never have one here on this side of heaven, I know I have a mansion "just over the hilltop".  

On Sunday I snapped some pictures of Makena with her Sr. sign. 
I am still trying to keep her senior year special and somewhat normal (even though her graduation has been postponed until July 18). 

I am excited to have gotten my egg cartons in the mail yesterday. 
It's the little things❤

The hens got a sweet treat. 
They love watermelon as much as we do!

And that is about all we have been doing. Carl has been busy working, the kids are still doing school (only 10 more days!), and it seems as if all I do anymore is pick up after people!  Some days are better than others, but we are still hanging in there.

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...
