Weekend Recap

 

Happy Monday, friends! It is hard to believe that we are halfway through January. The weeks are just flying by! It was a pretty lazy weekend here on the homestead. I watched Wrenley on Friday. Carlie had to take Caleb to get his wisdom teeth removed, and I just hated to see her go to school when I didn't have anything going on. 

The only caption for this picture is: WREN WAS HERE

Friday afternoon until Saturday at noon, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission held the Big Squirrel Challenge. My uncle and Trey have been competing in it for about 3 years now and always come back with at least one medal. This year was no different. They got first place in the fox squirrel category. Good jobs guys!!

While Trey was out hunting and Makena was at work, Carl and I cleaned out the pantry. It has been a huge mess since Christmas, and I just couldn't stand to look at it anymore! I didn't take any pictures because honestly, I would be embarrassed to show anybody those before pictures. I woke up with a sore back and ended up getting in the hot tub because sometimes the heat and jets help. It didn't seem to do a lot for me this time, but it always feels nice to get in, anyway!

Sunday is always church day around here. Carl cooked a delicious southern breakfast this morning: biscuits, gravy, bacon, and eggs. I did manage to have at least a little self-control. Carlie and Wrenley came to church alone because Caleb is still not feeling the best. We are praying that he doesn't get a dry socket! 
I snapped this picture of Wrenley and Makena before they let out of Sunday School. They are just beautiful :)

We didn't do a whole lot this afternoon either besides nap. Makena had a board meeting for the Historical Society and then we had business meeting at church tonight. Not a big, exciting weekend, but it was a much needed relaxing one. Hope you all have a fantastic week!

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

 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 ...

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...
