Memorial Day And Beyond....


After lunch we all went out to the pool and Carlie fell
asleep in her ring!  I had to wake her up after a few minutes
because I was afraid she would get burned!  She had sunscreen
on, but Monday was one of those days that you needed to reapply
frequently!

Our friend, Luke.  This is the little guy I've been asking
prayer for lately.  He couldn't get in the water because of
his leg that is fractured. 
He's now sporting a camo cast though!

Makena was being my motor, pulling me around the pool :)
Trey has turned into a little fish.  He doesn't wear floaties at
all anymore and he does very well :)  His hair is already turning
blond, too :)

We celebrated Memorial Day by having a cook out at my parents' house at lunch.  Carl was working (BOO!) so it was just me and my kids, our pastor, his wife, and Luke, my grandparents and Mom and Dad.  We were sad that the Simpson's couldn't come down to play with us, but we still had a fun day.  After swimming most of the afternoon, we came home to rest for a little while then we went back over there for some watermelon :)  Carl came home around that time, so the kids wanted to swim again and he got to watch them while he was eating his dinner outside.  By the time he was done it was already 8 o'clock and time to go home and get ready for bed.  It sure was hard to think about going back to school!  We were all completely worn out from being in the sun all day!
So Tuesday, we had to get back into the swing of things...SCHOOL, SCHOOL, SCHOOL!!  I have had a pretty busy two days working on projects for my school and the girls are ready to be out (as am I) for the summer.  We still had test and quizzes to study for (on the last 3 1/2 days of school!!), so as of today, we still haven't been able to relax :(
Tonight we have our Discovery closing program (which I hope to have pictures of!).  I am so nervous for my kids...they are saying their verses for the church.  I know they know them, I just pray that they can recall them.
Tomorrow will be completely filled with buying groceries, leading a group discussion for school, after school swim party, and baking 4 dozen cupcakes!
Fun, Fun, Fun!!
1 1/2 More Days!!!

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...
