Weekend Recap

 Well would you look at that: it's Monday already. That means back to school for us and back to work for Carl.  Makena is home from college for one more week and actually had the day off today.  

It was a good weekend for the most part.  On Friday I went to take Wrenley to the doctor with Carlie.  She had a pretty high fever and a little bit of a cough.  She wasn't able to see her regular doctor, but they did some test to rule out RSV, the flu, and Co*!d.  Carlie took off the rest of the day to stay home and keep a close eye on her.  They ended up taking her to Arkansas Children's Hospital after Caleb got off work.  She had a pretty nasty virus and her oxygen was low when they got there but went up after they were there for around 3 hours.  We were thankful that she got to come home late Friday night.  

Poor sick baby. 

Carl made chili Friday night and we had a bonfire.  It was perfect weather for it but I was tired of the wind changing direction and smelling smoke, so I went to the hot tub and enjoyed it alone for a while.  It was just what I needed.  I was worried about Wren the whole time, but I knew they were in the best place and that there was absolutely nothing I could do other than pray.  
Boone was watching Carl talking with his hands :)
Boone enjoys bonfires as much or more than we do!


You can barely see the fire in the background.
We have been having bonfires back there for many years with our kids.

Saturday was a pretty busy day.  Makena's roommate from college was getting married in Hot Springs which is a good 2 hours away.  We left a little early so we could swing by Carlie's and see Wrenley.  It was a beautiful wedding.  I always cry at weddings. I mean, I barely knew Jolie, but I still cried.  I'm getting sappier in my old age!
It was good to just have a few hours alone with Makena.

Sunday is always church day.  We had a wonderful service even though a lot of people were out sick.  My mom fixed mexican food for us at her house after church.  I am so thankful that she does this.  My grandmother (Grammy) always fixed lunch on Sundays when we were younger, and it is something that I still cherish.  I am glad that my kids and grandkids will have that with their grandparents/great-grandparents.

I am so thankful for a great weekend!
Happy Monday... let's do this!

Much Love,
Beth

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

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

 It's been a hot minute since I've linked up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for a Friday Favorites! This is me trying to get back into my blogging groove :) I came across this little dress last year when we moved, and I knew it would be fit Wrenley this summer! It was Makena's circa 2004.  I just love it when a plan comes together.  A favorite for sure! Look at those babies. Twenty years has flown by. Miss Wrenley Beth. She doesn't look a thing like her momma, but definitely has Aunt Makena's sass! Hopefully as her hair grows, she will get Carlie's curls. We have been doing as much outdoor activities as possible.  That includes one of my favorite things...fishing! Carl, showing off his big bass. We weren't technically bass fishing, but whatever bites. It'll eat! Of course we have also been going to the river.  Our kids weren't able to go with us, so we just took the jet ski.   It has been raining so the water is a gross brown. I didn't s...
