Weekend Recap

 Happy Monday!  Hope you all had a great weekend.  It was a pretty great one here on the homestead. 

I can finally spill the beans on the surprise that I mentioned in my last post... Makena received the Outstanding Junior Award from the History Department.  She was invited to the academic awards ceremony and we all (Carl, Trey, Carlie, Wrenley, me, and my parents) traveled down to see and surprise her.  She has been so busy this week and has worked so hard all year.  To say I am proud is an understatement.



I love her smile in this picture. She is so happy

The proud parents with our girl :)

All of my babies

Makena and Wrenley 

Pop and Nanny are proud of Makena too!

We had to get a group picture at Cracker Barrel afterwards


We have also been spending a few afternoons fishing.  They haven't really been biting yet, but it has been nice getting outdoors and enjoying the warm weather.  I am super pumped to not be freezing all the time!

Carl was the only one to catch on this trip.

Look at my big girl!  She loves Macy...Macy doesn't quite feel the same!

Pop, Carlie, and Wren riding the Gator.  She loved it!

This is his favorite spot in the house.  He sits and watches the kids and dogs play.

Trey wrapped up his final tests last week so he is officially on summer vacation and officially a senior!

Our small chickens are getting so big!  
We have 16 small ones now and should be getting tons of eggs in the fall :)

Carl worked all day Saturday and we went to church on Sunday and then to his boss's 90th birthday celebration. It was a pretty busy weekend and didn't offer much time for rest, BUT at least I was with my people :)

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

 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...
