Mrs. Cheryl put a frog on top of her present: The Princess
and the Frog movie!  She loved them both :)

This shirt is just going to have to represent all
the shirts she got!  I'm tired of uploading pictures
right now!

Blowing out her candles...and yelling at Trey for
helping her.  Last year he made her cry because he
blew them out!

Today my sweet Makena turned 9!  She's been counting down for about 2 weeks now!  We went to town this morning and she bought some stuff with her birthday money.  She's been getting cards with money in them all week long and she has absolutely loved it!  She got a really cute pair of shoes, but I didn't get a picture of them today...I'll have to do it tomorrow.  After we got back we ate pizza over at Mom's and then we watched a movie.  It was a very different birthday for her because it fell on a Wednesday and we had to wait and do her party after church.   She was so funny during church because every time I looked at her she was watching the clock.  Thankfully we did get out a little early :)  We just had family come over, and Bro. Jeff, Mrs. Cheryl, and Luke and lets face it, their basically family!  She told me that she had a good birthday, so I'm just going to go with that.  She was very patient today, but my mom did let her open one present at lunch today :)
Happy Birthday, Makena Faith!  We love you and are very proud of the young lady that you are growing into. 
Here's to many more :)

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...
