What's Happening Now

 


We have been wrapped up in all kinds of life stuff around here, and I haven't had a chance to blog as much as I was hoping.  However, today is a new day.  

Don't you all wish that you were as cool as Trey.

We have still been bowling every Saturday.  Trey ended up having to get a new bowling ball and it has definitely taken his game to a whole new level.
He drove himself bowling for the first time on Tuesday evening.  Now he wants to go every Tuesday night because his Saturday league buddies are there.  I guess this is part of that letting go I spoke of earlier.





Makena made it home last weekend and we had such a good time hanging out. I sure miss her when she stays at school.
She is supposed to come in this weekend but we will just have to wait and see if the roads get better.

Trey is always helping the elderly...

Makena went back to school on Sunday, and we got back to our regular schedule on Monday.  School is going well.  Trey stills sees Spanish and Algebra as useless (along with diagraming sentences) yet, we continue to do them.  

We have known since the beginning of last week that winter weather was coming mid-week, and lo and behold, here it is.  We have had freezing rain and sleet since early Thursday morning. Our electricity went out around 6:30 a.m. and didn't come back on until around 1 in the afternoon.  Thankfully we have a generator.  

We went for a little ride around the community. 
I love my driver :)

The river.

Poor trees!


Sometimes having chickens can be a pain; like when their water has to be busted up because it is frozen or when the electricity goes out and you have to run extension cords from the generator to the coop in an ice storm or in the summer when you have to make sure they have fans running.  But they are my babies, and they are laying like crazy right now.  I work hard for them; they work hard for me.  It's just what we do.

My big boy, Boone.

Happy Weekend 😄

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...
