Youth Hunt Weekend

This weekend was the first Youth Hunt of the season!  Like I said in my previous post, it seemed that Carl was in a predicament regarding how he was going to take 3 kids hunting in one day!  Well, we compromised and I broke my rule of no Sunday hunting so he could take Trey :)  Give a little, take a little.  Isn't that what it's all about?!
So all three kids got to go and I didn't have to go!  As we know, Carl isn't a photographer and phone cameras are surely not actual cameras, but here are a few pictures he took.  And yes, I am just surprised he remembered to take pictures!
This is the one he took of Carlie. Carlie isn't really into letting us take pictures of her lately.  She went with Carl on Saturday morning and they saw a 6pt. but never could get a shot at it. 
 
He took Makena hunting in the ground blind.  They had a good time and saw a spike that she could have killed, only she couldn't see it in the scope, just in the binoculars!  She was a little disappointed, but said she had a good time.
Trey got up at 5:30 this morning and went hunting.  He was so excited!  He got to hunt in the big box stand.  They didn't see anything and were back home by 8:00 because Trey was ready to eat!  He is a very scheduled kid.  I guess he got that from me.  Find a groove and get in it :)  I'm sure he'll outgrow it!
Overall I think they all had a fun weekend and I know that they are all ready to go back.  Carl might regret getting them into hunting because it will take out of his alone hunting time!  I'm so thankful that he is making these memories with them.  I know they will not forget it!
 
Happy Hunting!!

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...
