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

Back To School Photo Shoot: The Girls

Three Doses of Happiness

Laundry piled up, dishes in the sink, phone buzzing with many emails, toys all over the house.......sounds like an absolute perfect time to go outside and relax with my kiddos! Today has been a VERY warm day.  It probably would be more enjoyable if we didn't know that it would more than likely storm tonight!  Carlie didn't go to school today because she was up a lot last night with stomach issues.  She never vomited, but she was very nauseated and has had stomach cramps.  She hasn't felt bad all day, just off and one.  We might be going to the doctor tomorrow p.m. because Sunday night I noticed that she has a little bulge above her belly button, I wasn't concerned about it (really) until her stomach started hurting and she said that it hurt to tough.  Maybe it's nothing, but people keep mentioning hernia to me.  Please pray that she feels better soon.  Also tomorrow is the big day....academic advising.  I remember the very first time I was advised (somewhere a
