Easter Weekend 2021

 Happy Monday!  That's pretty much an oxymoron, but it's a nice greeting none the less.  We had a fabulous weekend here on the homestead.  I got to spend lots of quality time with my family and we were able to spend Sunday worshiping as a family.  

Makena came in from school on Friday morning.  They didn't have classes because it was Good Friday.  We went to Carlie's house (she was also off!) , then went shopping, and came home and enjoyed the sunshine!  Mama is always happy when all of her babies are home!

Saturday was a very lazy day around here. We hung out outside, played ball, went for a walk, grilled some chops, and then went for a ride to the farm to look for frogs.  Notice I said LOOK and not HUNT.  There was no illegal hunting going on, I promise.

My mom brought Trey and Makena their Easter treats.
You're never too old for treats!

Makena was helping Boone get familiar with the chickens.
MJ, the barn cat had to hop in and see if she was feeding real food.
Sorry MJ, it was just meal worms

On Sunday we dressed in our Easter Sunday best and went to worship our risen Savior.  My pew was full and so was my heart. We went to my parent's house for lunch with our extended family and our pastor and family also came.  It was such an enjoyable afternoon. It was such a beautiful weekend! I didn't take many pictures but here are the few that I got from Sunday.
Makena Faith and Trey

He's so cheesy...but I do love him!

All four of my babies

Just the six of us!

Makena didn't have to go back to school until today.  She has been working so hard, and I know this was a much needed break for her. We had planned on maybe going to the Little Rock Zoo, but we found out that you still have to wear masks while walking around on the grounds, so I said, "No thank you!"  Not when it' 80 degrees outside.  So we may take a weekend trip to the Memphis Zoo...the next time Carl is off on the weekend.  
We are super thankful that they were able to get in the field and get some crops in the ground. Not complaining at all.

"He is not here; He has risen. Just as He said."  Matthew 28:6

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'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...
