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

Three Doses of Happiness

Laundry piled up, dishes in the sink, phone buzzing with many emails, toys all over the house.......sounds like an absolute perfect time to go outside and relax with my kiddos! Today has been a VERY warm day.  It probably would be more enjoyable if we didn't know that it would more than likely storm tonight!  Carlie didn't go to school today because she was up a lot last night with stomach issues.  She never vomited, but she was very nauseated and has had stomach cramps.  She hasn't felt bad all day, just off and one.  We might be going to the doctor tomorrow p.m. because Sunday night I noticed that she has a little bulge above her belly button, I wasn't concerned about it (really) until her stomach started hurting and she said that it hurt to tough.  Maybe it's nothing, but people keep mentioning hernia to me.  Please pray that she feels better soon.  Also tomorrow is the big day....academic advising.  I remember the very first time I was advised (somewhere a
