Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all of the dad's out there! I am pretty sure that I have some of the best in my life.

First of all, I'll start with Carl:

He has always been the best dad to our babies (yes, at 16, 19, and 21, they are still our babies!). From diapers to sleepless nights, doing girls hair and teaching T to shave and hunt, he has been the best! We love him and appreciate all he does for our family. Oh, and I know he will be the best Pappy to Miss Wren also!

Next, my dad:

For as long as I can remember I have been a daddy's girl. After his big health scare in October, I am especially glad to still have him here. He is a great spiritual leader for our family. We always joke about him being full of words, but we really do appreciate him and all of his wisdom :) You better bet that we will pass on his "words of wisdom" for years to come! He is also a great Pop to all of his grandkids.

And lastly, my papa:

This man will be 94 years old in August! He has always been a hard worker (carpentry) and he loves having all of his family together. God and church have always been important to him and if his health allowed him to, he would still be there in his pew every Sunday and Wednesday. I am thankful that my kids have been able to enjoy him and get to know him so well. He is not-so-secretly hoping that Wren will make her appearance on his birthday :)

I would also like to say Happy Father's Day to Carl's step-dad, TR:

He is the only "father-in-law" I have ever known. Carl's dad died when he was just 9 and his mom married a little while after. If it weren't for TR (being from my area), we would have never met! He has always been a great step-dad to Carl and has taught him many things through the years.

And lastly, to Carl's Dad in Heaven:

I often wonder what my kids would have called him. Carl talks about his dad often and I know he was a great dad while he was alive. I see a lot of similarities between them in photos.

This silliness in the picture reminds me of Carl!

"The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him."

Proverbs 20:7

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...

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...

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!...
