Trey's Crazy Party

Well, we had very good intentions when it came to Trey's cowboy party. Carl took off half of the day on Friday to help me get stuff set up in the yard and get some things picked up around here. Saturday morning we woke up to clouds and rain :( I was not very happy, but I was hopeful that by party time the rain would be gone. Didn't happen!! We ended up having to move EVERYTHING to the Community Center....at the last minute!! There were hardly any decorations, and we weren't able to do all the cute games that I had planned for. It just made me sick!! Trey had a good time, though. I didn't get many pictures either. I'm hoping that my mom got some of him blowing his candles out. My grandmother made his birthday cake ( a cowboy boot) and it was pretty good, not to be professional. Carl and I gave Trey his present from us after we got back home from the party, because it was and outside present. He loved it!! He also chose to go out and eat at El Canaveral last night....he loves that place, and he even ate all of his hamburger and helped Carl eat his fajita meat. He's a growing boy!!
Here are the few pictures I got:

Eating his hot dog with his stick horse

Eli, Carlie, Noah (drinking heavy!), and Makena

Oh, before I forget I wanted to say a special thank-you to my mother-in-law for helping out in the middle of the chaos at the party!

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?"....
