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. 

TR and Carl's mom, Carolyn

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

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!...

Friday Favorites

 Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, Friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. What a week it has been! Having picnics with Wrenley and Makena were pretty high up on my favorites list. She wanted a lunchable (big surprise there!) while Makena and I had tuna salad. Playing outside is a must with Wrenley! And she loves making sure the bird bath has plenty of water! Another thing on my favorites list is listening to Trey play the guitar. This smile is also my favorite! We had a celebration for my son-in-law, Caleb this week. He is a pretty great guy and we are thankful that he is "ours" now :)  He is my favorite son-in-law! As I was studying for my Gospel Project lesson earlier this week I realized we only have 3 more lessons! That means that summer break is just 3 weeks away (for our Wednesday night program)! Although I will still have to prepare lessons for Sunday School and VBS.  Summer is my favorite! This summer will be extra sp...
