Happy Easter!!

Well, today is finally Easter Day!  We were warned all week long that it might be raining and yucky all weekend, and sure enough it was!  I had to make a very hard decision this morning on whether or not to take Trey to church.  After much debate, I decided that it is best he didn't go.  I mean he does have pneumonia.  But the selfish side of me wanted him to go.  I wanted our whole family to be there together, to have our annual Easter picture made at the church.  But, I knew that it wasn't the best thing for Trey to be out. So I got the girls ready (and Carl) and sent them off to church....without me or Trey.
Carl and the girls. 
 
They were photo bombed by Trey in this one!
He doesn't look too sick in this one, and he doesn't have fever anymore, but he is still coughing, and certainly didn't need to be out in the rain.
 
I made him put on the clothes he was going to wear and take some pictures for me.  Here he is with his three baskets.  He is such a nut!
 
Trey and Carl.  I love these two boys!!
 
After Carl and the girls got back from church, he stayed here with Trey while the girls and I went to Easter at my Grammy and Papa's.  It was fun, but not the same without my whole family!
 
 
Today wasn't the most perfect of days as far as our traditions go, but that doesn't change the meaning of Easter. 
"He is not here, he has risen, just as he said..."
                      Matthew 28:6
 
We serve a risen Savior!

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...

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...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, Friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. What a week it has been! Having picnics with Wrenley and Makena were pretty high up on my favorites list. She wanted a lunchable (big surprise there!) while Makena and I had tuna salad. Playing outside is a must with Wrenley! And she loves making sure the bird bath has plenty of water! Another thing on my favorites list is listening to Trey play the guitar. This smile is also my favorite! We had a celebration for my son-in-law, Caleb this week. He is a pretty great guy and we are thankful that he is "ours" now :)  He is my favorite son-in-law! As I was studying for my Gospel Project lesson earlier this week I realized we only have 3 more lessons! That means that summer break is just 3 weeks away (for our Wednesday night program)! Although I will still have to prepare lessons for Sunday School and VBS.  Summer is my favorite! This summer will be extra sp...
