The Weekend: Super Busy Edition

 Hey friends! Hope you all had a good weekend. It was a very fast-paced one here on the homestead.  

Friday night we had a baby shower for a friends daughter at our church. Like I mentioned in my previous post, it was a small group. It was a nice shower.

                Me with Bonnie and Makena Faith

Saturday was just going to be an ordinary day. Carl had to work because one of his co-workers was out of town. We were just trying to soak up every last minute with our sweet Makena Faith. I knew that Caleb and Carlie were going to a fancy restaurant..one that requires super nice clothes. I was also aware that the day after we returned from vacation Carlie's boyfriend, Caleb had talked with Carl about marrying Carlie. I had been holding that secret inside for almost a week (Makena and Trey knew and I finally told my mom on Friday). Sure enough Saturday was the day. She sent me a picture of her ring and a plate of dessert that said "Congratulations and Best Wishes". We are super proud and excited for her. 

The future Mrs. Price ❤❤

I snapped this one before they left.
They are so cute together!

Sunday was *church day* like it is every week.  I had Caleb take a picture of our family right after church. I'm over here commemorating all of the lasts and Makena says, "Mom, you do realize that I'll be back in two weeks, right?". That makes me feel a little better (I guess!). 

I love these people so much!


We had lunch with my family at my parent's house. The only picture I took was of Ellie Kate and Makena Faith.
These two are cousin buddies

I took a quick nap after lunch and Carl had to head back out to the farm.  Thankfully his co-worker came back Sunday afternoon and he didn't have to check his water because we had an anniversary party to go to for my grandparents after church.  They are celebrating 70 years of marriage!  I am thankful for the example that they have set for our family and I am also thankful for the time my kids have had with them.  Grammy is slowly declining and it is so sad to watch (dementia is an awful disease) and Papa will be 92 in two weeks! They are so precious to us.


Trey and my cousin Shane played "Living on Love" by Alan Jackson. They did a great job.

It was a busy weekend, and a fun weekend.  I am refraining myself from starting all the wedding things until college move-in weekend is finished. Part of me wishes I could just fast forward all of the sadness of leaving my sweet Makena Faith and push play on when she comes back home in a couple of weeks.  

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...

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!...
