Let Freedom Ring!

Yankee Doodle, waving his flag!

Uhhh
Trey was helping his friend, Luke in.
Trey had been squirting Bro. Jeff with his tiny
water gun
This, my dears is what we call a red-neck parade...
our OWN little 4th of July parade :)  The kids wanted
to decorate Carl's trailer and ride around Nanny and Pop's
backyard on it :)

Trey loved that darn hat!

Noah, Carlie, EK, and Makena

Carl was being goofy when I tried to take
his picture :)
After swimming we went to the farm to go fishing. 
Carl and Carlie were the only ones who caught anything, which
really didn't set well with Makena!

Carlie

T-Man

Makena...this was during her whining...
Before we left she fell in the water and got her
"4th of July clothes" all muddy!  We had to listen
to more whining after that!!

Trey and Carl lighting the fireworks

Noah found a parachute from one of the fireworks

Ellie Kate LOVED the fireworks, unlike her
brothers!

Trey was cuttin' up!  He's so silly :)

Eli had his ears covered up most of the time.  Bless his
heart, he didn't like the noise too much.

Trey wasn't scared a bit, though.  He loved the sparklers.

Happy 4th of July!!  We are so thankful that we live in America :)

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...
