Happy Father's Day!


To my Carl. He is such a good Daddy to our kids! We love him to the moon and back :)


To my Daddy. He is a great example to all of his children and grandchildren. I love him more than he will ever know.

Enough of the mushy gushy stuff, this is how we spent Father's Day weekend:



Carlie was getting her tan on. I try to make sure she wears plenty of sunscreen and doesn't lay there too long. My mom has had a time with skin cancer so I know what the sun can do.

I think Trey and Makena were going to try and dump Nanny out of her float!


Cool dude!


Trey loves playing with his Daddy

Upside down Daddy!


My water baby (yes, I know she is almost 12). She has basically grown up swimming and the majority of the time she is underwater.
She 's my mermaid girl :)

It was a pretty quiet weekend. We just hung out. As bad as Carl needed to be planting beans, I'm sure glad he was home. For the first time in the history of our family, I missed church on Father's Day. Not because the kids were sick but because I was. I have been having some pretty major issues that really need to be taken care of surgically, but I have no insurance. I am trying to make the best of it but it wears me down after a while. I cry. I get mad. And you better believe I pray A LOT. I know it will all work out, I just pray its sooner rather than later.

So that was our weekend. Poor Carl spent a lot of it taking care of me...and that is part of the reason I love him so much!!
Happy Father's Day!!

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!...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...

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...
