We Made It!!

Anna Grace and Makena Faith!

Anna Grace, Emily, Makena, and Piper practicing for the
closing program


Carlie and Megan
My mom found those hair piece clips in a boutique
in Stuttgart and decided to get them for the girls...
I could have done without them!
Mrs. Kathy was doing balloon dogs as an
evangelism tool.  It was really cool and the kids
LOVED the dogs--especially the little ones.

This is completely random....but my grandmother
called the other day and said that when she went out to the
hen house they found 5 baby chickens, and the kids just had to go
down and see them.  One of them ended up dieing, but the others are
doing great.  The kids got to name them too :)

Two goofy goobers!!  Teens....you gotta love them!

Whew....as much fun as this week was, I am thrilled to death that it's over!  Most of these pictures are from  Wednesday and Thursday because I forgot my camera last night.  I don't know what I was thinking!!  Yesterday the kids and I had a road trip to Little Rock.  I had a few things I needed to return and while we were there we got an early start on some school clothes.  I found a lot of really good deals but I had to search for stuff that wasn't too summery (I think I just made up a word!).  After we left the mall we went to Target and got a few things for the closing program then made our way back home.  I rarely take little trips like those with all three kids (by myself), but we had a good time and the arguments were kept to a minimum.  I had to type the programs for the closing program when I got home (oops!!) and get down to the church to run them off before it started.....did I mention I'm a procrastinator?!  The program went great!! My little pirates sang their song loud and proud, and Trey even got to wear his pirate shirt!! I feel awful that I forgot my camera.  Carlie and Makena sang very well too!!  We didn't make it back home until 9:45 because we helped take the decorations down and clean up the church.  Over all we had a wonderful week and now we can say... We Survived Danger Island!!

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...
