Ball, Pork Butts, Dogs, & Cars

The weather has been so off and on lately!  One day it's cold, the next it's warm.  On the warm days it's VERY hard to get my crew to come in by 7 so we can check homework and get showers!  They spend a lot of time playing back yard ball and just hanging out!


Batter up!

Carlie likes to be right in the middle of it!

On Saturday Carl decided to cook a couple of pork butts.  He had some great help in the form of Makena and Trey.  I didn't get a picture of Makena, but she helped prepare them before they got on the grill.  Trey helped keep the moist :)  Who knows, he may be the next BBQ PitMaster!

He so big!  Where did my baby go?!

So yummy :)

Trey also took time to walk our big dog, Sam.

Saturday around 1 we got our house guest for the night....Major.
This is the most spoiled dog you have EVER met.  He is very well behaved and very smart, but is very worrysome not to mention he's like a miniature horse!!  I have to admit, I was glad when he left early Sunday morning:)

Monday was a busy day.
I had to drop my car off at the shop to be fixed (finally), then Carl took me to Pine Bluff to get a rental, then I had to go to school and work, THEN we had a pizza party at Pizza Hut for our basketball team!
It was a lot of fun and the girls seemed to enjoy themselves too :)

Sam, Harlee, Makena, Hope, Anna Grace, and Karmen
I think Hope had about 5 or 6 pieces of pizza!

Speaking of the rental, here she is.  A 2014 GMC Yukon XL.  It had most everything you can get in a car, in it!  Carl said they made a mistake when they gave me this to drive!  It is super nice, but the gas mileage is AWFUL and I realized very fast how hard it is to keep black clean!   I can't wait to get my car back Thursday :)

That's pretty much all we have been up to since last Thursday.  The girls have been pretty busy studying/taking 9weeks exams, so the homework load hasn't been terrible, but the studying in absolutely insane.  I'm so proud of them.  They haven't made any B's so far ;)  I wish I had been that smart in school.
They are both looking forward to spending some time with friends this weekend....a much deserved break!

Next week is Spring Break, and I'd be lying if I said I was actually looking forward to it.  It's really going to be pretty boring.  We have no big plans, and the weather isn't looking to be that great.  Oh well, at least we can sleep in!

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?"....
