West Ship Island

One of the best parts of our trip was going to West Ship Island in the Gulf of Mexico.  It was a lot of fun for the kids and the beaches there were a lot prettier and had bigger waves.  We took an 11mile (one way) ferry ride to the island.  It took about an hour to get there and the kids got to see lots of neat stuff on the way!

And we're off!! 
See you later, Gulfport!
 
If you look closely you can see a dolphin fin.  We saw lots of dolphins, but they were so fast, I could never get a picture of them!  It was a little frustrating, but it was way cool.
 
Ft. Massachusetts is located close to where our boat docked on the North side of the Island.
You could tour the fort, but we didn't because the kids were so interested in getting in the water.
I do regret not going in it, though.
 
 
She gives the Island a big "thumbs-up"!
 
Carl and the kids jumped right in!

I thought this was pretty cool!  You can see Makena under the water.  I told you it was clear!
 
So much fun!

He was in heaven!
 
He's running like David Hasselhoff!
 
He got buried!
 
My view was looking pretty good!

Almost time to leave!
 
 He wasn't happy that we didn't get to sit where we sat on the way to the Island.  He literally pouted the whole hour back!
 

Yep, on her phone again!
 
We were a little red, and really tired, but it was a fun day and I would highly recommend it to anybody!

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...
