A Great Friday!

Trey thought it was a great day to play in the sandbox.

Then Makena came home from school and wanted to play too :)

Trey and Carl, putting more wood on the fire.

the kids love sitting out by the fire.

They got tired of the fire and decided to ride the 4wheeler

This is the dangerous, Most Wanted, Trey!
We are doing a cowboy themed birthday party this year, and this
is going to be the picture on his invitation (a Most Wanted poster).

Our Labor Day weekend is off to a wonderful start!  Yesterday was really pleasant and since I was still in the "Fall" mood, Carl and I decided that it was time for a bonfire.  We roasted marshmallows, sat around the fire and talked, rode 4wheelers, and just had a good time.  We had planned on having a weenie roast too, but The Simpson's ended up coming down to my Mom and Dad's house so we ate hamburgers and hot dogs over there.  Trey was very happy to have Noah and Eli to play with. 
The girls had a great week at school!  Carlie seems to be much better now, and Makena has quit being so clingy to me.  I will be working at their school every Tuesday, starting this coming week.  I think it will be a good thing because I can stay involved in what's going on up there, and it will also give T a break from me.  He will be staying with my mom or my grandma.
Carl is working all weekend (except Sunday), so we are just going to hang out, follow the Razorbacks, and enjoy our long weekend :)

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Red Flags: Guarding Our Hearts & Our Churches

 Scripture tells us that shepherds are entrusted with God's flock, no for selfish gain but "being examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:3). A pastor's calling is a holy one, rooted in humility, sacrifice, and love. But Jesus also warned that not every shepherd has pure intentions--some are "wolves in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15).  As believers, we must stay discerning. Here are some red flags to watch out for in pastors: 1.  Special Treatment for Certain Families  James warns against showing partiality (James 2:1-4), yet some pastors cater to certain families, wealthy donors, or influential members while neglecting the rest of the body. Christ doesn't play favorites--every soul in the church matters equally to Him. A true shepherd cares for the unnoticed as much as the well-known. 2. Neglecting the Brokenhearted  Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18), but a pastor who avoids the messy, hurting, or less "influential" people in th...

Back To School Photo Shoot

The girls have been begging me since yesterday to take some pictures of them in some of their new outfits but yesterday the weather was kinda iffy as to if was going to rain (never did) and we would have had to fix hair before....and that just didn't really fit into our day, so I told them after church would work.  I would have never guessed how sleepy I would have been after not enough sleep due to Carlie's stomach issues and the fact that I took sinus medicine before I went to bed thought I was going to bed at 11:00.  Needless to say,  could hardly keep my eyes open during church.  I was seriously thinking of finding an empty room and taking a nap until church was over!  Instead, I waited until after we ate lunch (leftovers from last night!) and cleaned up.  I think we finished in record time and I was snoozing away by 12:45 :)  I could hear the kids, so I got up around 2:30 and the first thing Makena asked me was "Can we take pictures now?"....
