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! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

Friday Favorites

 It's been a hot minute since I've linked up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for a Friday Favorites! This is me trying to get back into my blogging groove :) I came across this little dress last year when we moved, and I knew it would be fit Wrenley this summer! It was Makena's circa 2004.  I just love it when a plan comes together.  A favorite for sure! Look at those babies. Twenty years has flown by. Miss Wrenley Beth. She doesn't look a thing like her momma, but definitely has Aunt Makena's sass! Hopefully as her hair grows, she will get Carlie's curls. We have been doing as much outdoor activities as possible.  That includes one of my favorite things...fishing! Carl, showing off his big bass. We weren't technically bass fishing, but whatever bites. It'll eat! Of course we have also been going to the river.  Our kids weren't able to go with us, so we just took the jet ski.   It has been raining so the water is a gross brown. I didn't s...
