Spring Break Things

 Our Spring Breaks are usually pretty boring.  Carl is usually in the fields planting rice and we are just kind of stuck doing "staycation" stuff.  And for the past three or four years I have been sick during Spring Break...this year was no different.  Makena has been so busy at school that she was pretty happy to get a break and just stay home. She did a Harry Potter Movie Night for us one night and made fun Harry Potter treats and of course, butter beer!  Trey's friend Talan came down so they did something (usually a bonfire or riding) almost every night.  On Saturday night his friend Dominic also came down.  

My floors also got done the weekend prior to Spring Break!  It was a major ordeal, because why wouldn't it be?!  We ran into a few issues that slowed things down, but they were able to knock the majority of it out in one weekend.  We still have to do the master bedroom and finish trim.  

We went hiking at the end of the week to Petit Jean State Park.  We may have been a little over-ambitious when we picked the hardest trail but we made it! It was 1.4 miles with a 328 ft. ascent.  

Ready to go!

Family Fun



This kid! He is always the life of the party.

My hiking buddy.
He wanted me to take a picture of his back pack.

We finally made it!

My babies

This was the day before our 23rd wedding anniversary.
We hiked this trail as newlyweds 23 years ago, but it wasn't nearly as hard back then.

This is at another location on the mountain. 
 It overlooks the Arkansas River Valley.

Me and my baby girl.

Deep thoughts.

I sure do love this sweet girl.

On our way home we stopped by Home Depot and got some hanging ferns and flowers as well as a few things to plant. I am so ready for warmer weather.  I'm pretty sure that we are going to get at least one more cold snap, before the Spring weather is here to stay.  The pollen is absolutely killing me.


B-Dawg loves to play basketball!
I'm going to have to video him doing it.  He is a complete ball hog!!

Trey used to love to ride his bike.
Obviously he has outgrown it, but he still gets it out every now and then.
When he saw me with the camera, he turned his hat to the side.  Such a goofball.

I am glad that we were able to get out and have fun as a family.  The next few weekends will be pretty busy and we needed this time to relax together. 

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

 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...
