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

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...

 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...
