Sleepover At Nana's

Friday afternoon Carl and I decided that we would go to Wynne to stay with his mom and step-dad for the night.  The kids were super excited to go stay the night and it was kind of nice to just get away for a little while.  It was almost 7 when we got there and we had an awesome dinner of BBQ, baked beans, fresh corn on the cob, watermelon, cantaloupe, and cucumbers (my favorite!).  It was so good :)  We had to take a little walk around the block after that!  It was great to get a good nights sleep.  Once I was finally able to go to sleep I don't think I woke up until morning, and let me tell you, that is extremely unusual these days! Nana fixed us a yummy breakfast (chocolate gravy!!) and then we went to her neighbor's house for a garage/moving sale while Carl and T.R. went to Conway.  We got to eat lunch with Wendy, Riley, and Aunt Shirley.  It was great being able to see them.  After this weekend of eating, I definitely have to start that diet ASAP!!
 We had a really good day, but I always feel so lazy when I'm there...like I should be doing something.  We left around 3 on Saturday and had an amazingly QUIET ride back home :)  Carl and I are both so blessed to have the parents we have.  We wouldn't trade them for anything!

Makena was a little annoyed that Carlie was sleeping with her,
but Carlie didn't want to sleep in the back room by herself
so they both ended up here :)

Trey changed his mind on the back bed too, so he slept
on the couch...although I think he ended up on the floor at
some point during the night!

Trey and Riley.  Look at Trey's eyes!!!  This was after
T.R. and Carl left, so he was very happy to have another
boy around.  Riley is probably the sweetest kid I know and he is
very patient with Trey!

Poor Nana's living room was converted to a playroom!
Makena loved her Build-A-Bear and all the fun clothes and shoes.
They have been playing with them all day!

Carlie, Trey, and Nana playing Deal or No Deal

This was this morning when we came home from church.
She is smiling so big because if you look closely you can see her feeding
the kitten a whale!  The kitten was licking all the salt off of it and loved every minute of it.
Carlie the Cat Lady!  We know how she feels about dogs, though :)

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Red Flags: Guarding Our Hearts & Our Churches

 Scripture tells us that shepherds are entrusted with God's flock, no for selfish gain but "being examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:3). A pastor's calling is a holy one, rooted in humility, sacrifice, and love. But Jesus also warned that not every shepherd has pure intentions--some are "wolves in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15).  As believers, we must stay discerning. Here are some red flags to watch out for in pastors: 1.  Special Treatment for Certain Families  James warns against showing partiality (James 2:1-4), yet some pastors cater to certain families, wealthy donors, or influential members while neglecting the rest of the body. Christ doesn't play favorites--every soul in the church matters equally to Him. A true shepherd cares for the unnoticed as much as the well-known. 2. Neglecting the Brokenhearted  Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18), but a pastor who avoids the messy, hurting, or less "influential" people in th...

Back To School Photo Shoot

The girls have been begging me since yesterday to take some pictures of them in some of their new outfits but yesterday the weather was kinda iffy as to if was going to rain (never did) and we would have had to fix hair before....and that just didn't really fit into our day, so I told them after church would work.  I would have never guessed how sleepy I would have been after not enough sleep due to Carlie's stomach issues and the fact that I took sinus medicine before I went to bed thought I was going to bed at 11:00.  Needless to say,  could hardly keep my eyes open during church.  I was seriously thinking of finding an empty room and taking a nap until church was over!  Instead, I waited until after we ate lunch (leftovers from last night!) and cleaned up.  I think we finished in record time and I was snoozing away by 12:45 :)  I could hear the kids, so I got up around 2:30 and the first thing Makena asked me was "Can we take pictures now?"....
