The Most Wonderful Time

It really is the most wonderful time of the year! We have been doing our best to get in the Christmas spirit around here.

The dining room in all of her glory.

Carl's Granny made these in 1972.

I will never not put them out!

Wrenley's manger.

These are cloth and just for her to play with!

Somehow, I didn't get any pictures of my living room tree except this one:

Our handsome Boone

One day as I was walking out of a local store Carl called me and said that he wasn't "felling right" and needed to go to the doctor. In reality we probably should have gone to the ER, but we opted for the clinic. He really thought he was having a heart attack. His blood pressure was through the roof! They did all kinds of test and sent us home. We got a call later that he had not had a heart attack, but he was supposed to see a cardiologist in Little Rock on Friday. They gave him some medicine to lower his bp. It helped some but when we saw the cardiologist, he wanted to set him up for an angiogram. So, Monday morning we headed in for that.

He was ready to feel better.

Thankfully everything was fine. No blockages! He felt 110% better after he left and hasn't felt bad since. We go back the second week in January for a check-in with the cardiologist, but we are praying that he just needed to be back on his blood pressure meds. Thank you, Jesus!

We had our first Christmas (my dad's siblings) on the 9th. We also had a funeral that day. A sweet elderly lady in our church passed away. Then my sweet little Wrenley got sick with Cov*d. It was just a lot of heavy-ish stuff at the beginning of the month. Makena will be home later this week, and I can't wait to have my babies under one roof again :)

Wrenley at school a day before she got sick.

She is such a happy baby girl!

We are hoping and praying that we can all stay well for the rest of the month!

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...
