Easter 2022

 "Christ the Lord is risen today, hallelujah!" Happy Easter, friends!  I had high hopes that we would have a beautiful, warm-ish holiday since it fell in mid-April.  That was not the case, however.  It was wet and pretty chilly. We had a pretty low-key day, after a full morning of church and lunch with family at my parent's.  

Blue was the color this year!
We didn't get a full family picture this year because we snapped this picture before Sunday School and Carlie and Caleb didn't show up until church (when a ton of other people did), so we didn't have to the chance to get one. 

Makena took a few pictures around our little church.

My mom, playing the piano.

I did get a picture of all the "kids".
Carlie is starting to show a little bit. 

My sweetheart, aka "Pappy"

The parents-to-be: Gage and Carlee and Carlie and Caleb.
And they are both having little girls :)

I took my camera over to my mom's and didn't even take one single picture with it! My Uncle Steve, who has always been the fun-uncle decided to do an impromptu egg hunt (all of the "kids" there this year were between the ages of 14 and 19, with the exception of a 3year old!). They put money in the eggs instead of candy. The smallest amount was $20 and the largest was $100.  


Trey got the $100!

Makena found a $20 egg and an empty one (😝)

Makena started having back trouble on Saturday afternoon but it got much worse on Sunday.  She was brought to tears by trying to sit in her chair at the kitchen table.  We try to keep pain medicine on-hand, but it didn't help any this time.  She made it through church even though I told her that she didn't have to.  She is one tough cookie but it breaks my heart to see her in so much pain. 
We made a trip to the clinic on Monday and she got a Toradol shot, some steroids, and some more pain medicine.  I drove her back to school (she HAD to go back) on Monday evening and Carl and Trey picked me up.  It made for a late night, but that's the endless job of a parent!

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!
Happy Easter!

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...
