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

Throwing cow-patties (moon pies) into the bucket

Maxee on her stick-horse, butterscotch

Noah came to play too, although he didn't get too

much action on the digger...good luck to whoever

tries to get that away from T anytime soon!

Lovin' him some Mexican Food....wonder where he got that?!

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!

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...
