Some of the Alumni at the game.
This was after the game, so some had already left.

What a week! We have had something going on literally every night this week! Yesterday I had to sub for after school care at the girls school. I do like kids, and I didn't really mind doing it, but I'm so glad that it's not my everyday job. The kids were really good but I was counting down the minutes until 5:30! After we were done with that it was time to go help out in the kitchen for the Alumni night activities. We had grilled hamburgers, hot dogs, chili, cheese dip, and lots more. The night got started off the the Lady Mustangs playing the alumni women. They just played a half court game and the alumni lost!! Oh well, there's always next year:) In between the ladies playing and the guys playing they had a few little competitions: a free throw shoot-out, a slam dunk contest, and the parent/student shoot out(which Carl and Carlie participated in). I wasn't too hurt that she didn't ask me to play with her because I probably would have declined! Carl and Carlie made it into the second round, but then lost by one point. It was so much fun to watch, and Carlie is pretty good. After that it was time for the Mustangs to play the alumni (aka the oldies!). Carl was the oldest to play on the team and he just turned 30, so they weren't really all that old, but compared to kids aged 15-18, they were OLD!! I guess they still had game because they whooped the Mustangs by 20 something points!! The kids were so excited about seeing Carl play. At the beginning of the game Trey was dancing around yelling, "Go Daddy, Go Daddy!". It was priceless. Believe it or not Carl is actually able to move this morning. Not too bad for an old man:)

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...
