Life Updates

Hello there! Long time, no post.  I am so ashamed for not blogging over the past month. 
We have been a little busy and preoccupied with life.  I'll post a few highlights to get us caught up.

Mother's Day:
I feel super blessed to be their momma!

Almost 5 generations of strong women right here!

We had a very low-key Mother's Day weekend.  Carl didn't have to work and we kind of just chilled.  Makena left on the Monday after to head back to school for one last week before her summer break begins.  
Caleb and Carlie came to the river with us.

Makena Faith is officially a Junior!!

And she even finished on the Dean's List again. I am so proud of her.  She stepped outside of her comfort zone in so many areas and took her biggest load of classes yet. She spent a lot of time studying but it all paid off in the end and she shouldn't have to take that many classes again.

Carl in our new-to-us boat!
My uncle called us up a few weeks ago and told us that he wanted to give us this Four Winns 245 Vista.
It needs some cleaning and if we pull it very far we will have to invest in a new trailer, but needless to say we were super excited about getting it! Next summer Wrenley will have a good place to take a nap. It has a nice cabin with a bed, bathroom, and kitchen.

Boone approves!
I can just see myself tanning on the deck.  Now to think of a good name for her.

Trey landed a job at our local Ace Hardware Store a few weeks ago and has been working full time.  I sure have been missing him around the house.  I'm so glad that Makena is here!

Before Trey started working every day, I was able to have a pool day with all three of my babies.
Carlie's little belly is growing steadily. Wrenley will be here before we know it!

Doesn't she look nice and relaxed?!

Our little barn kittens are growing!



We were lucky enough that we got rain a few days before Memorial Day weekend, so Carl was able to be off! He did have to work, but we got a couple of good river days in on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon.  

Still not really any sandbars out, but we found a shallow cove to hang out in.

Trey likes having his own boat.

So much fun!

On Memorial Day we had lunch and a pool day at my parent's pool.

Trey, being helpful :)

Soaking up all the sun!

We have two hummingbirds that always fight over this feeder.
I should probably buy another one because I just love watching them on the porch.

We are enjoying the summer so far! We have Vacation Bible School next week (I am the director again), Father's Day, my dad's birthday, a baby shower for Carlie, Makena is turning 20, and vacation coming in the next few weeks! It's going to be busy :)

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 am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
