Happy Mother's Day!

I'd like to give a big shout out to all the Mother's today!!  It is such an important role.  I realize on a daily basis how much influence I have on my children, and I try to be mindful of that with every decision I make.  They are watching and learning.
I happen to think that I have one of the best Moms in the world :)  She is so kind and generous, as well as completely selfless.  I don't know what I'd do without her!
I'm also thankful that I have a great mother-in-law who did a great job raising my Carl!  He is awesome, and I definitely think we owe that at least partly to her :)
My Mommy got me and Jamie a new pair of TOMS!
I told you she was great :)
Mom was opening her present from us....a new bag for the pool and a towel chair thingy....I know that doesn't explain it, but I'm really tired and don't want to go into it. 
A class at school made this cute little flower pot (an owl) for me with a plant and a sweet little Mother's Day card signed by  the kids in that class.   It was so thoughtful!

The kids got me this owl bracelet.  I had been looking at it for a while and Carl helped them get it for me.

I wore my new Toms the other day to school and I love them :)  Thank you, Mom!
Trey made this jewelry box for me out of class in his Sunday School class.  He was so proud that he decorated it all by himself!  So Sweet.

Each of the kids filled out these Mom's Gazettes that my Mom found somewhere.  It was so precious to see the things that mean the most to them individually.  Each of them were different.

I had a great Mother's Day and I am so proud to be a Mom to my three little monkeys!!

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?"....
