Update

Trey was being a monkey while he was waiting to go outside and play

Carlie in sponge-rollers!

My little diva, Makena

Nothing "blog-worthy" has gone on around here in the past week. We didn't get any snow:( I say that like I'm really upset, but really we all know that I'd rather be somewhere tropical. The kids were really disappointed when they got up on Thursday morning and there was nothing. Carlie told me she wasn't going to school-but she did.
Jamie still hasn't had Ellie Kate, and the funny thing is, she's acting just like Carlie did about going to school!! She is mad (at most everybody) because she's still pregnant! I told her today that it would probably be soon (I should have known better) and I thought she was going to hang up on me!! REALLY though, it will be next Friday, January 22, if she doesn't come before then:) I can't wait to hold her in my arms. There's nothing like holding a newborn baby. Every once in a while I wish I hadn't had my tubal, but if I didn't I'd probably have as many kids as the Duggars, which is fine for them, but I don't think I could handle it.
As I'm blogging this, Trey is singing at the top of his lungs and dancing a circle around Makena. I'm not even sure what that's all about. Carlie is in the kitchen getting out everything she wants for dinner--plates and all. She's a little group activity leader. One day I think she'll run her own company because whatever she does she has to be the boss. I might go to bed without any hair by the time the night is over with:)
Next week is the big week--our school only goes 3 days and Makena will miss two of them. She is still asking a lot of questions about the surgery: will it hurt after I get out?; will you be there when I get out (I'm hoping they get me down to recovery ASAP)?; will I have to share a room with anybody?: you get the picture. Lots of questions, but probably the one I get most often is "Am I going to get lots of presents?"!!

Monday Morning Chit-Chat

  Happy Monday, friends! Well, here we are again. Another Monday morning, another fresh week, and another cup of coffee that I'm hoping will magically give me the energy to accomplish all the things on my to-do list. Spoiler alert: It probably won't. But I'm going to drink it anyway. I thought we would start this week with a little old-fashioned chit-chat. Nothing too serious, nothing life changing. Just a little catching up on life lately, a few random thoughts, and whatever else happens to pop into my head. you know, the kind of conversation we'd have if you stopped by my house, pulled up a chair, and stayed a while. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you going in the morning), and let's visit. First things first...it's October! This year is absolutely flying by. I love this time of year. The cozy evenings, the fall decorations, the soups and comfort foods, and the excuse to stay home in my pajamas a little longer. Now if Arkansas could just get the memo t...

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy What's Up Wednesday! Today I am linking up with  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for another "What's Up Wednesday" Let's do this! What we're eating this week... So far this week we have made: Wings on the Pit Boss Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Chops You can't get any easier than wings and chops! Especially when they are on the grill and slow cooker!! What I'm Reminiscing About... Septembers past: September is Trey's birth month. It is also the month that my grandpa died four years ago. This is the year that Papa gave Trey a gun for his birthday. He was so proud to give it to Trey and you can tell by the look on Trey's face how happy he was. Such a sweet moment to remember. Our county fair is also in September. My kids used to love it when they were younger. They still love rides, just not the traveling kind :) This was Wrenley's school picture last year. She has grown so much in one year :) What I'm Loving... Makena and my mom have started mak...

Be Her: When Our Ideal Self Becomes an Idol

 Ella Langley's "Be Her" got me thinking about something I think a lot of women struggle with- the woman we think we should be.  You know her. She's more disciplined. More confident. More put together. She exercises, keeps the house clean, reads her Bible every morning, never loses her patience, and somehow always has good hair. We tell ourselves, If I could just be her..... And there's nothing wrong with wanting to grow. But what happens when the woman we want to become turns into an idol? Sometimes we become so focused on our ideal self that we forget to ask God who He wants us to become. There's a subtle difference between praying, "Lord, make me more like Christ," and saying, "Lord, help me to become the woman I've decided I need to be." One is surrender. The other can easily become control.  Philippians 1:6 reminds us that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. God isn't waiting fo...
