Our Weekend

The past two weekends at our house have been spent doing yard work--BOO!  But thankfully, Carl hasn't been too busy on Saturdays and we've been able to get some things done that have been pushed to the back burner.  Of course the best part of working hard all day is grilling out and relaxing in the evening!  We've been eating pretty good :)
Here are a few pictures from this past weekend:
Trey loves to help with anything outside and especially anything with his Daddy!
I'm not sure if you can see his little head in the drivers seat of the truck up there, but this is the old farm truck that Carl brought the tractor home with and all weekend long Trey kept saying that this was going to be his truck when he "gets big".  I'm sure by that time, he will not want it!
And the bottom picture are the beans that Trey and Makena helped Carl plant, so we always refer to that field as Trey and Makena's beans :)
 
The humidity was extremely high on Saturday, so after a full morning and a half of working, we decided to take a break and go swimming.  My parents were out of town, so it was just us, but of course Daddy was home, so nothing else mattered!
 
We took our evening stroll through the farm so Carlie could have another driving lesson.  Makena got to drive too, but I didn't get a picture of her.  They are both doing a great job!!  Much improvement from last year :)
 
After a pretty busy week of Revival and school shopping, it was nice to just hang out and enjoy our time together at home.  My kids are counting down the days until school starts...crazy, right?!  I believe the count is 15 days as of today!  I feel like we just got out of school and I'm not sure that I am ready to go back!! 
 
Ready or not, it's coming!!

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...
