Friday Favorites

Hey guys! I'm linking up with Andrea at Momfessionals for yet another Friday Favorites!


One of my favorite things we did this week was taking a short trip to Arkansas Post. The visitor center was closed but we walked trails and had a picnic lunch. It was just nice to get away for a few hours. 
Trey and Makena having a picnic lunch.

Arkansas Post was Arkansas' first capital. 
This is an almost 200 year old cistern from a house that is no longer standing. I believe it is around 24 feet deep. 

We took a different trail and went down to the rifle pits.
Very interesting. 

We were a little disappointed that we didn't see any alligators this trip.


Another favorite is from the very same day as our Post trip. 
Makena Faith turned 18!
I hope all of your wishes come true, baby girl!

Her first order of business was registering to vote. We are also working on getting her a checking account, which is proving to be a pain in the neck. Due to COVID, our bank only allows you in their building by appointments, and getting someone to answer the phone or call you back is frustrating. 
She will move to college in just a few weeks. I can't imagine her not being here everyday.  We are definitely doing our best to make the most out of each day.

Having these two hang out with us is also a favorite. I'm learning to enjoy each minute I have with my kids...even if that means their boyfriends have to be around. Caleb is a good guy and Carl and Trey enjoy having him around to have one more on their team. As long as Carliebis happy and he is good to her, I'm good 😊


Late yesterday afternoon we finally had time to take a Ranger ride. It has been kind of busy around here this week: peparing for VBS, birthday celebrations, church, and work. It was good to slow down and unwind for an hour or two.


He's not a fan of my pictures.

He will always be my favorite..even if he drives me crazy 90% of the time❤❤

Those are just a few of my favorites this week. Vacation is only a couple of weeks away and we are super ready. I feel like we are running on fumes and we have a week and a half of going non-stop before we get to rest. If you are the praying kind, please send up prayers for energy to make it through!

Much Love,
Beth

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

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...

Wednesday Loves

Wow, I can't believe it's Wednesday again!  Here are a few things I'm loving this week: I absolutely love this cute little cupcakes. I want to try and make them soon :) I'm loving this idea that came from Merideth .  Trey and I are going to make it for his first day of school.  I know his teacher very well, since both of the girls had her :) I love this Razorback plate from the Magnolia Lane Collection that I got me for my birthday! WOO PIG SOOIE!! And finally, I'm loving my grandmother, or as my kids call her, Grammy. She will be turning 76 on Friday, and I am so blessed to have her be an active part of my life, and my kids lives.  We love you Grammy! What are you loving this week? Beth
