Friday Fun and More!

We started off our Friday by going to the kids' Open House at School!  It was really exciting because Makena had a new teacher for us to meet :)  Trey and Carlie still had the same teacher from last year, but they were excited too!
When we got home we rested and played the Wii for a while, then decided we would have a Back to School pizza party (just for our family).  Carlie made the cake and Makena frosted it.
It might not have been the prettiest, but it was good!

For dinner, we also decided to make some homemade pizzas. 
Again, they were not so pretty, but tasted great!

Since the weather was so nice and cool, we decided to go out and have a bonfire and roast some marshmallows.  After watching Duck Dynasty a little too much, Trey was wanting to make some Mallow Dogs, but thankfully we didn't have any hot dog buns!

He was having a blast!

Trey and Makena trying to get their marshmallows the desired "golden" color.
Usually they end up looking like ash!
Carlie was playing on the swing just before dark.
Yes, she had a jacket on :)

It was a fun night!  The mosquitoes did end up getting too bad around 9:30 or so, so we had to go in, but the kids were tired and ready to get baths and into bed by that time anyway. I guess we were rushing things a little bit!
Saturday was a day of accomplishment inside the house.  I cleaned out closets and got everybody's clothes together and ready for next week along with my regular cleaning.  I also helped the girls clean their room, and man did they need help!  Then the girls and I went to another baby shower and after the shower they went shopping with Nanny.
Meanwhile, Carl and Trey helped Pop mow around the pool and then they changed the 4 wheeler from green to RED!  That's my favorite :)  
Shines up pretty good!

It was another fun family weekend!!

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?"....
