Fun With the Cousins/Outdoor Fun

We were pleasantly surprised on Monday afternoon when my parents went to pick up my niece and nephews!  Trey (and the girls) love playing them.  I didn't tell Trey the boys were coming and Noah really surprised him when he just walked in the living room and said, "Hey Trey, you wanna go play outside".  Trey did a double take :)  It was cute!  So Tuesday after we got home from school the first thing he wanted to do was go play with the cousins!  We played for a while, then ate supper, then went to my parents house and they played some more.  We left around 7:30 or 7:45 to go home and get baths.  That is the hardest thing about this time of year:  it stays light later and they don't ever want to come in until it's time for bed! 
My mom got some good pictures of them playing outside but I got the best one :)
All six of them!  And believe it or not, they are all looking at the camera!
 
On another day, Carlie, Trey, and I were outside playing while Makena was inside doing her homework.  She could have been out with us, but she is the most terrible procrastinator!  She puts off everything...homework, taking a bath, getting up in the mornings...you name it, she says, "I'll do it later"!  It drives me crazy, but I know that I am somewhat the same :)
She is still trying to avoid my pictures!
This was taken on a day that Carl was actually working later in the fields!  Yeah, that hasn't happened since that day :)  One day it will all get planted.  We may be harvesting in December, but it will get done!

Carlie with Sam.  He is a big dog but she has a great love for him!
 
Hope you are all enjoying Spring as much as we are!

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!...

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...

Back To School Photo Shoot

The girls have been begging me since yesterday to take some pictures of them in some of their new outfits but yesterday the weather was kinda iffy as to if was going to rain (never did) and we would have had to fix hair before....and that just didn't really fit into our day, so I told them after church would work.  I would have never guessed how sleepy I would have been after not enough sleep due to Carlie's stomach issues and the fact that I took sinus medicine before I went to bed thought I was going to bed at 11:00.  Needless to say,  could hardly keep my eyes open during church.  I was seriously thinking of finding an empty room and taking a nap until church was over!  Instead, I waited until after we ate lunch (leftovers from last night!) and cleaned up.  I think we finished in record time and I was snoozing away by 12:45 :)  I could hear the kids, so I got up around 2:30 and the first thing Makena asked me was "Can we take pictures now?"....
