Top Ten

What's up blogger friends?!  Sorry, but I only have a few minutes to blog, so I'll just give you a quick run down and call it our Top Ten :)

About 3 or 4 weeks ago Carl got a new mower...and he was super excited about it, so he wanted me to take his picture :)

T in his shades he got for Easter and his new hat that Nanny and Pop got him from Bass Pro


Last weekend we went to visit Carl's mom and TR and ended up seeing the whole crew....well except for Jeannie.  All the grand kids were there anyway :) 

If you look closely you can see the snake....that Trey killed.  He was out playing in the front yard and then I saw him beating something with a baseball bat and there it was  a snake!  I'm not sure what kind it was because he had already beat it beyond recognition.  The only good snake to me is a dead one.  We had a talk and maybe he won't be killing anymore snakes!

Check out this HUGE egg that Grammy and Papa got from one of their chickens!  Grammy brought it down to the kids earlier in the week but I haven't cooked it yet to see how many yolks it has in it.

Did y'all get the chance to see Venus and the moon this week.  Evidently it doesn't happen very often and so I thought I'd document it :)

Noah, Trey, and Elijah were playing doctor with the 70's doctor kit!

My pretty flowers with my owl in them....two of my favorite things

Makena was playing freeze dance with Mrs. Odom's class

I had to save this one for last.....my silly Daddy was showing Makena that he could still hula hoop.  Go Pop!
Happy Friday, Friends!

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...
