Snow Day #4

Carlie and Happy sledding at the house

Now it's Trey's turn!

Makena Faith was last

Then we headed to Nanny and Pop's house
and started at on the little hill

Then we moved to the big one!
For some reason Trey loved the little sled
It made him get snow all in his face.

Here comes Carlie!

They were fighting over who was riding next!

Pop watched, but didn't take part in
our snow fun.

Nanny did, though!!

Today we let the kids go out and play in the snow.  They were ready to go out at 8:00 this morning when it was 17 degrees, but we insisted they wait until it at least reached 30!  By the time we made it back in, they were freezing with little rosy red faces.  After lunch we went over to my mom and dad's house since they have a hill (not all that many in our area) and had a good time.  I even gave in and let Carl pull me behind the 4-wheeler (notice you don't see any pics of that!) and then he trusted me to pull him.  That might have been a mistake on his part because he fell off twice :)  He said it was my driving, I said that it was his weight!!  He was a good sport about it anyway :) 
We are still waiting to see if we have a fifth snow day tomorrow.  I sure hope not!

Looks like y'all had a wonderful snow day!! =) We've got to invest in a sled before the next snow! I'm hoping it will be next year before we need a sled though!

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...
