The Last Day of School

Carlie, Heather, Syrina, Skylar, and Natalie before graduation

Carlie's class--Aiden looked marvelous with
Gracie's scarf, don't you think?!

Carlie's class singing.   I did get this on video, but
for some reason it will not upload.

Makena was playing the last-day-of-school blues :)

Makena's class at rehearsal yesterday.  I left my camera
in the car last night and the battery was going down on
my video camera, so I only got the video of her class singing last night
and no pictures :(

We are finally out of school, and we are SO excited !!  Trey and I spent the whole morning at the school yesterday helping with the birthday party for June and July birthdays, as well as cleaning up for graduation.  The kids went over their music and graduation stuff for that night, had a party, and watched a movie. They also had the whole school judge who had the best 3D book report, and just take a guess and who won.....MY CARLIE!!  I was very proud of her :)   It was just a fun day for everyone.  After we got out of school at 11:30 we came home and went swimming.  I was really worried because Carlie's ear started hurting and I didn't know if she needed to go to the doctor or not.  She didn't have fever or anything, just an earache.  After graduation I gave her some pain medicine and numbing ear drops, and this morning she told me it doesn't hurt anymore!  Thank you Lord.  I really didn't want to make a fast trip to LR.  We are looking forward to a fun weekend, relaxing with family, going to church, and of course....eating lots of good food :)  I'll have more pictures to post soon, and maybe even some big news to announce!

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...
