Our Busy Weekend

Carlie was trying to get Ellie Kate to smile for me.
She had just woke up when we got there.

Makena loved playing with EK, too!

Noah was blowing out his birthday candle.
It's so hard to believe it's been 4 years since he was born.

Elijah loved his cupcake...even if it did make him look
like he ate a smurf :)

We got Noah some roller blades and he did
really good on them.  Carlie and Makena
brought their roller blades too, so he really
got into it, for a little while!

This was the deer stand :)  I just love little
boys imaginations!

The country boy goes to the city!! 
Noah loved his new guitar Grammy and Papa got him.
He sang "Jesus Loves Me" for us.  So cute!!

Makena had fun playing Frisbee with Pop.

We have been one busy family over the weekend!  Friday night we went to Wynne to eat for Carl's sister, Wendy's 40Th birthday.  I didn't take my camera in, but I should have.  It was so great to get to see everyone even though Trey was awful because Uncle John was there.  When those two get together you never know what's going to happen!  The girls had fun too, especially at Nana's house with Leslie's old American Girl dolls!   We finally made it home around 9:30 and got the kids bathed and in bed by 10:30.  It was a really long day and we were all pooped, but it was worth it seeing the surprised look on Wendy's face.

This morning we woke up bright and early and left to go to Morrilton for my nephew, Noah's 4Th birthday.  His birthday is actually on the 25Th, but we are going to be in Memphis, so we celebrated today.  It was a super nice day, so we let the kids have fun playing together outside.  They love getting together and just playing.  On our way back home we had to stopped at Lowe's to exchange the chandelier I had bought for the girls room, then we went to Little Rock to get Happy a collar at Petco.  We also went in Crossroads Western Wear to look for some new Wranglers for T and Carl some boots.   As we were walking out we met Ty Murray walking in!!  The PBR is LR tonight and I guess maybe he was in town for that.   After a quick dinner at Shorty Small's we finally made our way back to Arkansas County. 
It feels so good to be home!

Beth, Thanks so much for coming yesterday. Noah loved ya'll being here. He put on his skates again and went out when Cody was outside this afternoon. That was a great idea for a gift, but like I said all you would have had to do was let Trey come up and he would have been happy forever! We love ya'll so much... p.s. the picture of NOah playing the guitar...do you see the little "meanness" in his face? He tries to play innocent with everyone else, but I KNOW the truth ;)

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...
