Regrouping



Happy Tuesday friends! Hope you are all having a great start to your week. Things are rolling right along here on the homestead.

 We are currently in the 12th week of our homeschooling year. Trey is doing well, other than the fact that school is still still not his favorite thing. He would just rather be hunting, fishing, or riding 4wheelers. He has finally agreed to cut the mullet off (not that he really had a choice, but I let him think he did.)! So tomorrow is the day and I am super excited to see the clean version of Trey. After the wedding he says he is growing it all out...not just the back. I'm hoping he loves the new look so much that he changes his mind.

Helping out with our Gospel Project

He thought he was cute with this ponytail, I did not! I do enjoy the time I get to spend with him doing the things he likes to do, like checking game cameras.

He is good with little kids but he will tell you he doesn't like them. Tough guy syndrome!

Makena Faith is wrapping up her first semester at Ouachita Baptist. This has been a major adjustment for her. She is ready for a break for sure! Only two more weeks and she will be home for a month. Last weekend we went shopping for a little black dress. This week is rush week and Saturday is bid day. 

Confidence looks great on her!

She decorated her car in a Christmas theme for Trunk or Treat and of course, promoted helping with Operation Christmas Child by recruiting Noah to dress as the box!

Now that I've had the time to adjust and *accept* the things that obviously aren't going to change, I am in regrouping mode. Trying my best to help out where I can. Carlie has always had a mind of her own, and that is something that has always made me proud. I am still proud of her. She will celebrate her 20th birthday on Thursday. That just happens to also be the day that she closes on her house. I still say this is all happening too fast but she is happy. What more can a parent ask for?  My version of perfection is not "the end all, be all". I said I am "regrouping", meaning I am a working on it. 

Love this!


Carlie and Caleb did circus games for Trunk or Treat. 

Carl and the guys finished harvest on Saturday. What a relief it is for that to be over. I feel like I was at my breaking point with everything going on all at once. I think when this wedding is over momma and daddy need a little getaway!

Much Love,

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!...
