Mid-Week News

 I haven't been posting on Wednesdays so far this year because I have either been sick, or there just wasn't anything exciting going on here on the homestead.  I mean, you can only post so many pictures of animals (although maybe I could use that as an excuse to get more animals👀). 

Remember that awesome exciting news I have just been dying to share?! Well here it is:

I'm going to be a grandma!! I have known for about 2 or 3 weeks now and it has been so hard to keep a secret.  I have told a few people (with Carlie's permission of course), but they announced it tonight. And I was not prepared for the tears that came when she sent me a video of the heartbeat😢.  Now I just have to pick out a grandma name!

Macy thinks she is happy to be a big sister!

More good news from the homestead- Ouachita finally released their official Dean's List for Fall 2021 and looky who is on it:
I'm so proud of my baby girl.

So you may ask what T has been up to.  Well, he has been doing school, fishing, and helping our neighbor with his cows.  Although he is 16, he can't drive alone because he has to wait 6 months after he passed his driver's test (it was a week after he turned 16). That is coming up next weekend. It is something that I have been secretly dreading for the past 6 months.  It isn't necessarily his driving that I'm worried about, it is the fact that he is planning to get a job (and I know he should) but I know that is just another step in him growing up and one step closer to him leaving me...and he is my baby. Thankfully I won't wake up to him being 18, graduated, and ready to leave tomorrow. But I know it is coming all too soon.  He is a good boy though and we are looking into him taking some college classes in the summer (per HIS suggestion😁). He will be fine.  I will be fine.  I WILL BE FINE.

Trey doing Algebra 2 and Boone sleeping.

We are about to be super busy replacing the flooring in our house. Send prayers that we will still be married when it's over😊

Other than having that nasty virus at the beginning of the month, this year has been great so far.  Carl got a raise, Carlie is going to have a baby, Makena is doing great at school, and Trey is growing up to be a great young man. And although life isn't always great, God is.  He has blessed me and my family through the good times and the bad times.

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 ...
