Weekend Recap

 Happy Monday, friends! We have had such a fun weekend here on the homestead. Everything is supposed to be back to normal this week, but now winter weather is in the forecast. It is definitely not my favorite (I'm a summer girlie at heart). Anyhow, I promised a post about the Prayer Board Party I attended on Friday night, so here it goes!

Ellie Kate and Makena were doing their boards on the island

My mom even found Wrenley a little purple board with kitty stickers.

Me and Makena were excited to get started!

Eli, Wrenley, and Carlie 

Wrenley wanted to show off her mommy's board while I showed mine.

The whole crew!

The party was so fun and a little chaotic. My sister was supposed to come with Ellie Kate, but she had a kidney stone and had to go home. My mom didn't get to do her board with us because a cute little toddler kept having meltdowns! Eli and Ellie Kate came from the Sonic movie and since Jamie had to leave them for my mom to pick up, Eli had to come to the party. He mostly chilled in the living room and tried to play with Wrenley, but she wasn't having it! In the end, she settled down and worked on her board and she was so proud of it. We made my mom promise that she will make her prayer board on her own. 
I think it will be great to write down my prayers and just have that visual.  It will also be great to reflect on everything God has done at the end of the year.
We also ate pizza, candy, and other treats. This would be a lot of fun with a group of ladies.

Carl and I watched Wrenley on Friday afternoon and of course I have to post some pictures of her!
She was helping Pappy drive.
Don't worry, we are on the back roads!!

She loves going to check on Trey's dog, Maggie.

Sitting in her lawn chair, wearing her Little Sleepies & sparkly Crocs, and eating her nonuts!
She does what she wants at BeBe and Pappy's house!

We didn't do much on Saturday. Carl has been half sick and did something to his back, so we just hung out around the house. He helped Trey try to get the heater in his truck working. I think they finally got it. There is always something going on around here!
We all went to church on Sunday. I had a Sunday School class full of kiddos. I love that!
Wrenley with her church bestie, Adalee.
They haven't seen each other in a couple of weeks.

Hope you all had a great weekend and have plans to stay warm this week!

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...
