Weekend Recap: Mother's Day Edition

 Happy Monday friends!  We are coming off of a great weekend here on the homestead!  

We were able to get Makena moved back home on Friday (Hallelujah, Praise the Lord!) just in time for Mother's Day!  

And we officially have two seniors now!

We had to stop by and grab a bite to eat at the Hamburger Barn before coming home.  We earned every bite after all of those trips up/down the stairs (the elevator only worked one direction and was a little out of our way).  Makena looks so tired in this picture.  She was a busy as a bee during her last three weeks of school.  She is looking forward to working at our local museum over summer break and of course has a beach trip planned (without her mama :( ) with her friends along with our family vacation and hopefully LOTS of time on the water!  She will also begin the application process for grad schools.  

Trey is staying busy working for my Aunt and Uncle and mowing a few yards.  Last summer he tried his hand at working an inside job.  He hated it.  He would much rather be outside (even in the steamy Arkansas heat).  I feel like we hardly saw him last summer, so seeing as this could possibly be his last summer living at home (he wants to move to our other house..), I am more than happy have him around a little more and soak up every last minute with him (even if that does mean cleaning up after him!).

Carlie, Caleb, and Wren came sliding in just in time for church,
so no pretty picture with all of us.

Trey and Boone look so thrilled.

Love him :)

Now we look like bums, but we did manage to get a picture before Carlie had to leave.
They had all been sick.  I was glad they felt well enough to come out for a little bit.


The most selfless person I know.
I hope to be to my kids, what she is to me.

My Grammy with Wren

I had a great Mother's Day and I am thankful to have been able to spend it with my kids, Mom, and Grammy.

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...
