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! 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

  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

 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...
