Blue/White Game & Trophy Night

Tonight was the Blue/White basketball game (and senior night) at our school. We normally would have this game right after basketball season is over, but things got moved around a little bit and we had to squeeze it in with the Athletic Banquet that just turned in to trophy night. It was not as nice at it normally is because they had to be meshed together, but it's over and done with now. I'm not gonna lie, it just didn't seem as special to me as it usually does. On top of that, Makena didn't get to play at all last night because she missed school yesterday! She has had a terrible cough most of the week, so I took her to the doctor yesterday morning. He gave her some meds, and thankfully they seem to be helping, but no basketball for her :(

These are the games that the whole school (whoever wants to) get to play in. So the ages ranged from the varsity team all the way down to Kindergartners. They were pretty good at helping them out. The big girls really wanted to get out there and play hard, but were good about getting the ball to the little ones, since they don't have a "season". Carlie was on the white team, and even though she didn't really want to, she played in her pee wee jersey (#14).

Oriah and Makena found a spot to sit and watch the game.

Makena Faith with her trophy!

I am happy that she was able to be there to receive it herself!

Carlie Erin. I had to make her take this picture!

This is her final year to play Pee Wee!

My Dad and Carl both got very nice ball bags with Coach Harvey and Coach Carl monogrammed on them and I got a pretty infinity scarf. I had to help my Dad quite a bit between Carl's injury, and the scheduling of games. It is kind of a headache at times, but it makes the kids so happy that it's all worth it in the end.

Happy Friday!! 5 More Weeks of School!!!!

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...
