Our Trip To The Pumpkin Patch

Today our school went to the Pumpkin Patch.  Usually we go to Hardin Farms in Grady, but this year it was closed so we went to Wildwood Park's Pumpkin Patch in West Little Rock.  It was fun and they had different activities for the kids, but we had to split up into groups of 15 or less, which was my first dilemma.  I thought I was going to have to make a decision to either go with Trey and his class or the girls and their class.  I didn't want to have to choose one or the other, because I wouldn't get to see them play games and take fun pictures!  Thankfully we worked it out so that I took Trey with the girls group.  I hate it that he didn't get to spend the time with his classmates, but he is so social that it didn't bother him.  He has never met a stranger :)  Anyway, here are some pictures I took:

Jared, Madeline, Carlie, and Bonnie smiled for me before
starting their sack race :)

Pumpkin relay!  It was a lot of fun watching the younger kids
do this, but even more fun watching the high school kids!

Mrs. LeAnn was so sweet to bring snacks for our group!
Trey even tried the sack race...you can see Austin on the left
of the picture...he was going to pick Trey up and carry him
to the finish line :)

T with his pumpkin.  The pumpkins were not very big here!

Some of our group on the hay ride.
Overall it was a very fun day.  After leaving the pumpkin patch we took all the kids to Playtime Pizza.  The buffet was great because not only did they have pizza but they had mac n cheese, a baked potato bar, of course a salad bar, nachos....and the list goes on and on!  It was a good choice and they had plenty of room to accommodate us all :)  We rolled back into the parking lot at 3:00 made it home before 4:00. 
After feeding the kids supper we went walking with my mom down to the river and even though we didn't actually see Reece or Matthew (that we know of), while we were standing at the landing a boat went by with cameras bolted on top of it and they all waved!  It had something to do with the movie; who knows we might even be in it :)  Reece has been spotted all through town: at El Canaveral, the Country Club, and even The Refuge (bar).  Maybe I'll get a good look at her before they are done filming!
Carl has still been super busy with harvest so we aren't getting to see him much at night, but it will be over soon enough.
Happy Friday, everybody!! Hope you all have a marvelous weekend!

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!...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...

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...
