Farm and Gin Show 2011

We made it through our 7Th year of going to the Farm and Gin show in Memphis.  Friday Mom and I went to the show to see Dad and Carl then let the kids swim in the pool.  We ate at The Flying Fish and then Carl, the kids, and I went back to the hotel to hang out and my Mom and Dad went and stayed in West Memphis.  We had a great time, even though Friday night proved to be a terrible sleepless night for us thanks to Trey having Diet Mtn. Dew about an hour before bed!  We met up with the Martin's from Hickory Ridge (at the show)like we do every year, and got to visit with them for a while (wish I had gotten a picture).  I think Carl likes to work the show because he gets to see people from "back home" :)  Here are a few pictures of our trip:
Trey told me he had his suitcase packed!!
Needless to say, I re-packed it :)
Our hotel

Don't ask me what this is he's standing on, but
he wanted to climb up there so I could take his pictures.

Trey in the bucket!

Driving a forklift

We love Progeny...every year they have stuff that
is geared for the kids.  We were standing in line to
get tattoos!

Makena and Trey finally got their tattoos.
Notice T in the background...he was absolutely
LOVIN' the attention from that girl :)

A few of the kids goodies...this is another reason why they
love going :)  Trey even got a box of crayons made of soy.
 
I didn't take very many pictures at the show this year, I didn't even get a picture of  Dad, Carl, and Mike
in their booth (maybe next time)!  Overall I think it was a good show and hopefully a successful one!

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...
