Garrett Family Christmas

Today we had our Garrett side of the family Christmas party in DeWitt.  It was great to see family that I haven't seen in a while and to spend time with my niece and nephews.  Trey was happy that Noah and Eli were there to play with him because the only other boys in the family are a lot older than him and don't really want to play with him.  When I asked him if he had fun playing with Noah and Eli, he said, "I didn't even know that they knew them (the Garrett's)"!!  I guess Jamie and Cody haven't been with us at this Christmas Party or anything else with this side of the family in a while.  He didn't know they were related!!

All Nanny's grandkids....boys cannot sit by girls, didn't you know?!

I didn't get many pictures everybody, but here are a few of the kids with their gifts.  They all three got new jackets:

The girls with their new movies and Trey with his gun:

Makena got Soul Surfer

Carlie got Barbie Christmas movie.  I'm not sure the official name of it.

Then Trey opened a little truck set and the girls got girlie stuff, lip gloss, fingernail polish, all that good stuff!



Makena was SO excited about her fake fingernails because I just refuse to waste my money on them!

Our Family


All Papaw's kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids.  There were several cameras taking pictures at this time, and obviously nobody was looking at Carl!  He did a great job taking pictures today, though.  Love you, Honey :)

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?"....
