Memorial Day Fun!

Happy Memorial Day!  And thank you to all of you who have fought for our freedom!!  We celebrated Memorial Day by having a cook out at my Mom and Dad's house with my grandparents.  Carl had to work this year...BOO!!  And my sister and her kids weren't able to be here, but surprisingly my kids had a blast having the pool to themselves :)
Carl made it in just in time for lunch and then had to head back out to the field.
 
Mr. Jim and Mrs. Amy came by and took Trey for a little ride!
He loved it and talked their ears off the whole time!
 
After we ate and Carl went back to work, we headed out to the pool.
My mom bought this Bonsai Ball that is kind of like hot potato but with a water balloon.
It has a timer on it and when it goes off, the water balloon bursts!  It's a lot of fun :)
 
He missed his Daddy, but he still tried to have fun!
 
Carlie made a flag, but didn't want her picture made with it because her hair was too messy!!
Trey with his art.  He was the only one that would let me take his picture today!!

Makena decided not to draw a flag, but instead drew a heart that says Jesus Loves!
 
And here is yet, another picture of T. 
He was floating around with Pop, trying to do everything he did :)

 I forgot to post this one Friday, but here are my three monkey's in the truck on the way to Graduation.
 
And this one was taken yesterday before church.
 
I finally made them stop and take on for me after we got back home from swimming!!  Carlie was still worried about her hair, and please, don't pay much attention to our "play attire"!
 
It was a pretty fun day, even though we didn't have Carl with us!  I know we won't have him everyday all summer long, but it's just different when it's a holiday!
 
Happy Memorial Day!!
"For you were called to freedom brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another."  Galatians 5:13

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?"....
