Farm and Gin Show 2013 Part 1

On March first the family headed to Memphis for the annual Mid-South Farm and Gin Show.  We usually go up on Thursday and stay through Saturday, but this year since Carl had just had surgery on Monday, we opted to just drive up on Friday and stay the night.  The kids had an awesome time.  I tried to have fun, but I have to admit I was still a little worried about Carl and his knee.  He has been having pain the back of his calf, not actually his surgery area.  Here are a few of the pictures I snapped.
Almost there!
Here we gooo!
Trey found a big old rat!
Trey was gathering up all the goodies he could find :)
 
Driving his Big Green Tractor (still one of his favorite songs)
 
When we were eating lunch at Cracker Barrel Carlie and Makena found stuffed animals (yes, more darn animals!). Yes, they were actually getting along...it was a MIRACLE!
Last year Trey got his picture made with Jase from Duck Dynasty at the show and this year Willie was there!  We didn't get a picture with him because we had left to go eat lunch in West Memphis.  Carl called us to tell us he was there and we rushed back, expecting him to be gone, but he was still there.  It was so cute how Trey just kinda stood there in awe of him.  Willie took notice to Trey, and before he left he slid him and autographed picture!  Trey was so happy....HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!
 
Fun Day At The Show!

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...
