Complete Randomness!!

This is Trey's new shirt that Amber made.
She does a great job!

Carlie was practicing her moves.

Makena on her scooter.

I couldn't resist this shot--love these shirts!

Last night about 9:30, Carl went outside to get something
from his truck and he heard something eating our scraps--
Trey said "it's Swiper the Fox!!" :)

Not a lot has gone on this week.  Carlie is working on a 3D book report on Noah's Ark and we have been working on getting the pool cleared up without having to drain it--it's getting drained this weekend!!  Thanks to the rain, Carl has been off early all week and we have had fun just playing outside in the evenings.  As we are winding down the school year, we have already made some very important decisions regarding Carlie and Makena's schooling next year...we are HOMESCHOOLING!!  Just writing that makes me extremely nervous but it is something that I have been praying about for at least a year.  I am very happy with our school, but I really feel led to do this.  We just need a change.  It may be that next year they are right back in those seats at GPEMS, but this year they will be at home.  We will be using the A Beka video curriculum (which is what they currently use at school) and I am really excited about starting!!
 Next Friday is the last day of school and next Friday night is graduation and closing program at the school.  I'm sure I might shed a few tears because I do love our school and I know I will miss them, but I know this is the right thing to do, right now.

That is so awesome, Beth! I may be hitting you up for some info on homeschooling. It's something that I've been passionate about since before I was even pregnant with Lydia and since we had her, I'm even more passionate about it. Want to try to find out as much information as I can about it, though. I know I have several years before she will start pre-K ... but trying to plan ahead! =) Praying for y'all as you start this new journey! I've heard nothing but good things about it!

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...
