Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Picture before church

The sun was in my eyes!!

After he woke up on Saturday morning, I looked up and he was watching TV in his graduation cap :)


Peace Out!!
Bonnie, Stormy, Carlie, and Makena Faith all fit on one float!
Still Love Birds after 13 years
This is what my parents got T for graduation....his own pirate ship :)
I caught her in mid air!
Saturday was Daddy's turn to play with the kids in the pool!  I was there too, but Daddy was on duty :)
Me with my Daddy and Papaw.  Please pray for him, he hasn't been feeling well and is exhibiting all the symptoms of having had a heart attack.  Keep in mind that their religion doesn't believe in doctors, so please pray for him.  I pray that he knows Jesus as his Savior, but I couldn't tell you for sure. 
This picture has nothing to do with Memorial Day, but a couple of weekends ago Carlie was doing a little photo shoot with Makena and I captured this picture of her walking away from me.  I can't believe how much she has grown up in the past year.  She's not only facing physical changes but we are also dealing with those teenager-ish attitudes and behaviors that most parents of daughters probably dread.  She gets told often that she will not be leaving the house looking like that or that she needs to change her tone.....all those lovely things.  Please pray for us and for Carlie as we go down this crazy hormonal road.  It's bound to be a learning experience for us all.

Hope You All Had A Great Weekend!!

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...
