A Little Bit of Life

This picture was taken Sunday before church. It was one of those "GET-YOUR-BUTT-OVER-THERE-AND-TAKE-A-PICURE-NOW kind if forced pic :)

Trey and his gator (who evidently is a Mustang fan!).

I did a little Fall/Halloween decorating on my day off.

We had a fun night at Discovery Wednesday night. This game was called Toilet Paper Hike.

Trey couldn't play because he hurt his knee.

Ready for the Ballon Stomp

Time for the devotion

Dalton was drafted as a helper.

I took Trey to the doctor for his knee on Thursday. He took an xray and said it was a strain. He didn't want him to go back to school that day. We got a pair of crutches and he has about broken his neck numerous times!
We didn't have school on Friday (student holiday)....Woo Hoo! I loved sleeping in, I cannot lie :) We had tickets for a fish fry on Friday night, so I didn't have to cook....WHAT A DAY!
Carlie woke up Saturday morning with stomach issues. Bless her heart she was up half the night and never came to get me.

This afternoon Makena Faith went bow hunting by herself in the (way)backyard. Carl has killed a couple of deer back there over the years and she is hoping that will be true for her too! I just can't believe she is old enough to go alone!

Peanut loves carrots!
I forgot to mention that Rice Harvest 2015 is DONE. ..IN THE BOOKS, FRIENDS!! Can I get an Amen Hallelujah?! They finished up on Tuesday :)
That's some of the highlights of our week!
One last thought..

Much Love

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...
