Tonight we had our annual Fall Festival at church.  We didn't have quite the turn out this year as we have had in the past, but that didn't matter to the kids!  We ate chili, went on a hayride, played some games, sang a few songs, and had a cake walk, and a devotional.  It was such a good time of fellowship. 
The girls were out of school today for Parent Teacher Conferences.  I wasn't at all worried about meeting with their teacher....they had all A's again :)  Have I ever mentioned how proud I am of them.  They are such smarties!!  Carlie is having to work a little harder this year, but she is still doing great. 
Trey had a dentist appointment today in Stuttgart.  This was just to get his teeth cleaned...we have more work to come.  He did great (so much better than this time last year!) but it makes me sad knowing that he has so much work to be done.  He just has bad teeth.  Part of it was due to an accident he had, part of it was due to some medication that he had to take when he was little, and part of it is just because his baby teeth are just bad.  I'm praying that Dr. Doug is going to fix us up on our next visit...it's November 15Th in case anyone wants to start praying now! 
So, that is our day in a nutshell.  Tomorrow we have a family reunion in DeWitt, and then trick or treating :)  The kids are looking forward to that and I can't wait to show you their costumes!
Happy Friday, Everybody!!

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...
