Weekend Recap: Celebration Edition

Good Monday morning!  Hope you all had a fabulous weekend.  We had a great one here on the homestead.  Since it was Makena's last weekend home for a couple of weeks, we decided to have a little celebration.  Carl was off on Friday and smoked some BBQ.  We invited Carlie and Caleb over and my dad also came (my mom was in Little Rock with my sister), and we fixed my grandparents some plates to go (they don't get out very much, especially in the cold). The food was great (well, I am still unable to taste much, but everyone said it was good).  
Trey started his youth bowling league back on Saturday morning and I didn't even take one picture! That is a mom fail for sure!! He bowled fair, but he hasn't bowled since the last session ended.  He will be bowling in the state tournament again this spring.  That is always one of my favorite times. 
Makena and Carlie went to get their nails done with my mom, sister and niece while we were with T.  Afterwards we went to shop for Makena's LBD.  She found one and it looks so good on here.  I can't wait for her to send me a picture (it is for a rush party on Friday night). I think she is actually going to go through with rush.  I'm not sure exactly why she changed her mind last year, but it gave her a chance to get her bearings on school.  Now she knows how to manage her time and schedule a little better.

Make a wish sweet girl!

We were supposed to get snow late Saturday night into Sunday morning.  We got a light dusting...very light dusting, so we went on with our usual Sunday.  Carl made delicious blueberry waffles, per Makena's request.  We packed her up and she left around 3.  I always hate to see her leave, but I am so proud of her. 
Today Trey will not be taking the day off.  We took Friday off instead.  Just another homeschool perk!
We have, however talked about Martin Luther King, Jr. plenty of times.  I think one of the most impactful trips we have taken was when we went to the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis.  My kids have talked about it many times stating how they would all like to go back sometime.

Much Love,
Beth

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

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...

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!...
