Weekend Getaway

We had a great weekend getaway to the Ozark Mountains in Missouri.  Branson, Missouri to be exact.
With our two youngest kids working full-time now, we decided that a full-on vacation just wouldn't be in the cards.  Makena just started her job so she has no PTO or vacation as of now, and Trey is pretty busy at work right now trying to get a combine ready for a local farmer (rice harvest is right around the corner!).  This just worked best for this year.
The mountains are beautiful, but I think I'm more of a flat-land girlie!

It was also Makena's birthday weekend (so she got off on her birthday, which just happened to be on a Saturday!)
Our birthday girl turned 22!

On her birthday we spent the day at Silver Dollar City. If you know Makena, you know that she loves her a good rollercoaster! We rode them all!  And walked for miles and miles. 
Family Fun at its finest!

Had to get our picture with the World's Largest Soup Can :)

She was wearing her birthday pin that the park gave her and this 
employee came up and sang HBD to her.

Went out to The White River Fish House for her birthday!

Me and my baby boy

He is also a daredevil

We found Makena's name puzzle (spelled the right way!)

Carl and Makena at the Horseshoe Restaurant in Eureka Springs

Makena was super-duper excited to get to visit the Crescent Hotel
Not only is it old, but it is also haunted (allegedly) and they give ghost tours.
We were hoping to be ablet to go on the late tour but they were full.

On the property, there was also an awesome church.
It was absolutely stunning inside, and the outside had the most beautiful landscaping.

I didn't take any pictures of our time at the lake and compared to a lot of trips we have taken, I didn't take many at all.  It was such a quick trip, I just wanted to soak up every single minute I could.
It was great to get away for a few days, but it is always good to come back home.

Much Love,
Beth

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!...

Friday Favorites

 Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
