A Doozy

 Happy Monday friends! What are ya'll doin'?  We are just waiting for this nasty ice storm that is headed our way.  Ice sucks.  It means power outages.  Although we have a generator, it is still not ideal.  And if power goes out at our post office (where our internet comes from) we lose our internet, which means we lose our television, as well as our phone service.  You see why I am dreading this?!

I digress.  Let's talk about the doozy that was all of last week!  

Ya'll, I didn't even know it was possible to be as tired as I was.  When I say it took me ALL weekend to recover, it is not an exaggeration.  Having a four-month-old while homeschooling a teenager (who is easily distracted) isn't easy. To add to that, my dad was at an international poultry show in Atlanta, leaving it to me to help out when my mom needed (which I ended up taking her to the ER one night). I was drained when Friday came.  There is much more to the story, but I'll spare you my whining :)

I bundled her up and took her to see the chickens and gather some eggs.
She loved it!

A little photo sesh with this little cutie pie.
She makes it all better.

I had every intention of posting a What's Up Wednesday post, but I never got around to it.  So here are a few pictures of what's been happening lately.

Carl and Trey went duck hunting:



My niece Ellie Kate turned 13:
The Cousin Crew! Happy Birthday, sweet girl :)

Pop, Aunt Kena, and Wrenley

Wrenley and Grammy

Cowboy Trey and Caleb

I love a good theme party :)

Wrenley and Pappy

Makena found out that she made the Dean's List at School!



Makena didn't come home this weekend because she had a thing with her MBSF group.
She had fun ice skating with her friends.




I made it through that doozy of a week and even got to rest all day on Saturday!  

Stay safe and warm if you are in on this ice storm.

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...

Friday Favorites

 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...

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!...
