Athletic Banquet 2011

Tonight our school held it's annual Athletic Banquet honoring all of the athletes for their participation in the school sports program.  We had a very nice meal of spaghetti, lasagna, salad, green beans, corn, bread, and lots and lots of desserts.  It was very good.  We also had a short devotional by a pastor whose grand kids go to school with us.  I'd be lying if I said there was no pun aimed towards the "end of the world predictions" but it was a very good devotional on teamwork, as in teamwork in working together to spread the gospel.  It was kind of a charge to the kids as well as to the parents to go out and spread the word over the summer.  Then we had the awards ceremony. Carlie and Makena both got trophy's for participating in the pee wee basketball program and Carl got a gift for being an assistant coach for the pee wee boys.  I didn't get a chance to take many pictures, but here are the few that I did take:

Trey found a new girlfriend, and she's in the 9th grade!
Look out Hayley :)

She wouldn't stop so I could take her picture!

Makena was so proud of her trophy!

It was a great night, and we know that we are very blessed to be able to send our kids to a Christian school.  We are thankful for our school family as well as our church family.  They are awesome people who genuinely care about us :)

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...
