God Bless Saturday!

This was my seat when I was actually sitting down.  I can watch the kids play perfectly from this very spot.  Add a cup of sweet tea and it makes for a perfect Saturday!
 
The kids begged me to let them play on the trampoline with the water hose.  This is one of our pre-pool activities!  It was pretty warm, but by the time I took this picture Carlie and Trey had already retreated to warm up!
  
How sweet is this?!  I couldn't believe it.  Carlie was sharing the swing with T.  Notice they are all wrapped up in their towels :)  We have our moments!
 
Here is Carlie with one of her cats again!  This cat is solid black.  It has many names, but she calls it "Little Pretty Kitty".  He's about to get to big for his name!

 
Almost always when we have bonfires we do it when it's dark outside.  However, today the weather was so perfect we decided to have one about an hour before it got dark.  It was really nice.
 
Carlie likes her marshmallows barely cooked!  Or as she calls them, "golden".
Yes, she was trying to get out of my picture, but I got her anyway :)

Trey is doing better about getting his just the right color.  For the longest time his ended up as sticky ash, but he is learning not to let them catch on fire!
 
Carl and Makena.  I had forgotten to pick up Hershey bars for smores, so I had to use snickers!
They said they were pretty good, but I didn't try them.

This never gets old to him :)
 
It was another Saturday family fun day.  Not to complain or anything, I mean I love having Carl around, but they have absolutely NO crops planted.  I don't think they have ever been this late, and to say they are all getting antsy is an understatement.  We are seriously praying that the rain will end soon, so we can get super busy.  I probably will be complaining then!
 
God Bless Saturday!!

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...
