Weekend Recap: Red, White, & Blue Edition

Happy Tuesday! I feel like I'm dragging today. Sometimes long weekends seem like more of a curse than a blessing, but here's to another week!

We had a very nice weekend here on the homestead. It started with a little corn shuckin'!

We love freezing sweet corn to have all winter long.

There is just something about that sweet taste of summer in the dead of winter that gives me hope :)

PSA: I hate winter!

We grilled burgers on Saturday afternoon and then went for a short river trip.

Boone loves to play with frogs.

I just happened to catch him as he tossed this poor little guy in the air!

Mr. Red, White, and Blue!

He loves 'Merica

Carl and Makena were the only ones who braved the freezing cold water.

Toby and Makena Faith

Carlie is still chugging along. About 8/9 more weeks to go!

Let me just take a moment to go off on a little side rant. I am all about having fun at the river. Be it with friends or family. We typically have a fun time. But you know what ruins things for everyone? Sloppy drunks. Thankfully we only had to share the sandbar with them for about 30 minutes. I don't care to see Sloppy Sally with her boozy 50-year-old friends pretending to be 20 somethings. Grow up, sis.

Sunday was church day :)

We also went to the fireworks stand 🤑🤑

Ready for a Fourth of July fish fry!

The Fam Bam

We found a nice little secluded spot this time!

Carl and his boat

I'm so ready for the big boat to be ready :)

Boat selfie!

Makena, sitting pretty

My parents and Toby came down later in the day

He loves taking pictures with me (most of the time)

Carlie and Caleb spent the afternoon with the Prices, but came back to our house for fireworks.

I think she got a little sunburnt and was getting eat up by mosquitoes but still forced a smile for my pictures

This year instead of doing the fireworks for kids, we did it for my grandparents.

Papa is almost 94 and Grammy has dementia.

They had fun!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!

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...

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 ...
