Fall Festival

Makena and Madeline playing the egg toss game

Carlie and Heather were ready to play!
 
The kiddos were excited about singing

T was playing egg toss with an older friend, Jaxon
 
Then it was time for another favorite, the balloon stomp!
 
We looked up during the Balloon Stomp and T was cheating the whole time by holding his balloon so nobody could stomp it! You can see in this picture he is still holding the orange balloon :)

Next was a Balloon Relay. 
 
Ready to Race!
 
We crowned a "Fall Festival Princess"
The girls got to dress one boy up on their team and then we had judges to vote.
This is Jaxon with the big boobs!
 
Addison won and he was by no doubt the ugliest princess ever!
 
Friday night was our annual church Fall Festival.  We had lots of fun eating chili, playing games, singing and having a devotional.  We really had a great turnout and after we finished all the games we had a lock-in with the girls at our Fellowship Hall and the boys were supposed to camp out but due to the weather, they had a bonfire at our house and spent the night at our church's parsonage (since no one is living there right now).  I'm not going to lie and tell you that I enjoyed the lock-in (I like to be at home in MY bed, getting a FULL nights sleep), but the girls had a good time, I think.  Trey and Carl had a great time with all the boys and we had them all home by 8:30 this morning!!  I didn't take any pictures during the lock-in and of course Carl didn't think to take any of the boys. 
 
Great night with great people!

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...
