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! 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

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

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...
