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

 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...

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...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
