Weekend Recap: Freezing Cold Edition

 Hello friends! Happy President's Day!! And what a day it has been.  The snow has found it's way to the south and it looks like it will be here for a while! 

We have stayed safe and mostly warm thus far.  Our weekend was pretty low-key.  Makena made it home Friday but wasn't able to make it back on Sunday. Turns out it was fine because OBU went to virtual, and not all of her professors have even done that. 

Trey went back to bowling this week after missing last week.  He did so awesome! Much better than any games he has bowled this term. I have noticed that it has TONS to do with who he bowls by.  Some of the kids (and parents) get in his head or something.  We were on the far end with a younger kid.  Turns out Trey was able to motivate him a little and he also bowled better.  I am well aware that if Trey actually bowled outside of Saturday mornings, he would probably do much better. He isn't that interested and I'm not pushing. I stopped by Carlie and Caleb's to take them their Valentine's. I'm not ready to let go of getting my babies (no matter how old) gifts for small holidays.  She also bought all of us chocolate. 


When we got back home we Makena and I stayed inside and watched movies and Trey, Carl, and his buddy Talan went to check beaver traps.  They got two good sized ones. This was Talan's first experience with beavers and he is pumped to do it again!  They didn't reset them because of the bad weather coming our way. 

On Sunday we woke up to snow! We went to church and then ate lunch with my parents, then we went home and settled in for our arctic freeze. 

I have no idea what Carl was looking at.

 Sometimes trying to take a picture with him is like trying to take a picture of a dog, lol.

Toby bought Makena flowers and a paw print necklace.

He's such a thoughtful dog (or maybe he just has a thoughtful owner!).


Today we woke up to a beautiful winter wonderland, and it looks like it will be here most of the week. I don't love winter but the snow is pretty (for now).  

The cows look thrilled!

Here's to lots of snow fun!!

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...

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 ...
