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

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
