School's Out For Summer!

Hey friends! Hope you are all doing well. Life is rolling right along here on the homestead. First and foremost, we survived and finished the 2019-2020 homeschool year!

All exams were taken on Monday because we were all D.O.N.E.

This handsome dude will be a high school freshman!
He keeps me on my toes buy also keeps us all laughing. 

Two days later we were surprised by a representative from OBU admissions. When I say surprised, I mean we were on our way to the pool! I am so proud of her.
Home of a Tiger!! 

They wrote a note on the back 😊

Peace, Love, and Chickens
I ordered this a while back for my car but my mom made me a single chicken sticker so I decide to put this one on The Hen Bin. Now to get her busy making their name stickers for the door🐔🐓

They always make their way to the backyard and shred my flowers..little stinkers!

Trey is still busy mowing.

Carlie is still puppy sitting for Caleb's parents. We had to drop something off for her and made the mistake of getting out and holding the puppies. BIG MISTAKE! They are so adorable. 


Trey is in love!

Toby is my pool buddy

Our mama kitty finally introduced us to her sweet babies
We jokingly named them Ebony and Ivory.

The black one came straight to Makena.

Of all the chickens, this is the most unfriendly one!
She has a major attitude 🙄 

I just noticed that this was pretty much an animal post! We certainly have our fair share. 
Our hens are laying a ton, so I have been giving a few people some "egg"tra special gifts. 

We woke up this morning and realized our main ac unit went out. Of course this happened on Sunday morning and it's a balmy 82°. The devil didn't win today, though.  We went forward with our plans to attend church, even though it was pretty warm getting ready. After lunch at my mom and dad's we worked with it a little and then borrowed a portable to use temporarily. It does a fair job and is most definitely better than nothing. 

I'm not sure how your state is re-opening but the state of Arkansas seems to be moving in the right direction, but at a snails pace. A few people who stopped coming to church at the beginning of the pandemic made their way back this week. More stores our opening up and several restaurants in our small town have opened for indoor dining. The whole debate on wearing masks is still a hot topic.  A church in Mississippi was even burned down because they wouldn't close. It just complete ridiculousness. It is sometimes hard not to post my opinion on ignorant Facebook posts, but really what would it matter?  I have a lot of friends that just need Jesus, and as Christians we are called to tell them, show them, and love them like Him. His yolk is easy and His burden is light. We don't have to have all of the answers because He does...just a few thoughts. 

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...
