Gulf Shores 2026 Part 1

 Last week we made our annual trek down to the gulf! The only thing standing in our way was an eight hour road trip. I'm not the best rider. I'm more of a passenger princess.

We were packed to the max! 
I guess Trey was cold, lol!

We always stop at Whataburger in Richland, MS for lunch.

Welcome to Gulf Shores!!
Our home away from home.

We finally made it, just in time to eat dinner.
Bahama Bob's was right next to our condo, so we walked over.
Delicious!

The boys were ready to eat!

One of my favorite sights...last name on our chairs for the week!

Ready to enjoy our day!

Trey and this hat!

He will kill me for this one!

Hammy Sammy, Cheetos, and Strawberry and Cream Bloom for lunch!
That's what I'm talking about :)

Another day beach day!

Carl stepped on this little guy.
If you look closely, you can see his feet.
And yes, we did put him back.

Trey thought it would be funny to wear Wrenley's glasses from my swim bag!

The only reason I wanted to come home was to see my grandbabies. 
And maybe the dogs :)

When you go to The Hangout, you take a picture!

Between Carl and Trey, the seagulls ate well!

Speaking of Carl and Trey...every time they went out Trey was in the tube and Carl was holding onto the string or pulling him back up. It was like he was a little kid again!


Found a little Jesus hanging out in the parking garage of the condo!

We had an amazing trip. The waves were huge on the first two days we were there, but only yellow and purple flags were flying. As far as I know, nobody in our group even saw a jelly fish. Carl stepped on a crab one day that snapped his foot pretty good. The water was also pretty mirky the first two days. The third day it was perfect. No outrageous waves, no jellyfish, and the water was a beautiful turquois! 
We had lunch on the beach every day. We ate hammy sammy's, had pizza delivered and went up and grabbed some Bahama Bob's. For our evening meals we ate at Sea and Suds, Bahama Bob's, Tacky Jack's, and The Hangout. All of the food was good but believe it or not, The Hangout won out this year!
I have more adventures to post, but honestly, I am tired and have to upload and edit more pictures before that can happen. Stay tuned for part 2 tomorrow!

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'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. What a week it has been! Having picnics with Wrenley and Makena were pretty high up on my favorites list. She wanted a lunchable (big surprise there!) while Makena and I had tuna salad. Playing outside is a must with Wrenley! And she loves making sure the bird bath has plenty of water! Another thing on my favorites list is listening to Trey play the guitar. This smile is also my favorite! We had a celebration for my son-in-law, Caleb this week. He is a pretty great guy and we are thankful that he is "ours" now :)  He is my favorite son-in-law! As I was studying for my Gospel Project lesson earlier this week I realized we only have 3 more lessons! That means that summer break is just 3 weeks away (for our Wednesday night program)! Although I will still have to prepare lessons for Sunday School and VBS.  Summer is my favorite! This summer will be extra sp...

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...
