Friday Trip to Morrilton

Today we took a quick little trip to Morrilton to pick my mom up and to also see the Simpson's for a while.  They were so sweet and had a little birthday party for both me and Makena.  We had pizza and cupcakes :)  Oh the joys of living in the city limits where you can actually get pizza delivered...sometimes I wish I lived "in town"!
Look at these two!  Ellie Kate couldn't decide between her
pizza and cupcake, so she ate a little of one, then a little of
the other!

These were taken with my phone and I'm too lazy tired
to edit them.  Makena was eating her pizza.  I think it is
now her favorite food :)  We won't mention that they had
it 3 times over the past week.  We'll do better next week!

Jamie made this for me for my birthday.  She has become quite the
little Martha Stewart!  I have a stand that I am going to put it on.

She also made these cups....oh, wait I'd better say that Cody
made the cups!!  He was sure to let us know who did it yesterday.
I think he did a good job :)  All the kids had one, and I was the "special"
(no wise cracks) adult that got one too!

I didn't get any pictures of Carlie or Noah at the party :(  Noah was SUPER excited that we were there and I don't think he sat down for more than 5 minutes (to eat) and honestly Carlie is about the same way.  She was carrying EK around playing with her most of the time. 
We had a great time and by the time we got home we were so tired we didn't do much of anything!  The heat was pretty bad today.  It was right around 100 all day.  I always feel so bad for Carl for having to be out in it.  He says he's used to it, but he didn't do much outside when he got home last night either!

Hope you all have a great weekend and find a cool spot to stay!

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...
