Well here we are on our 4th week of school. We've made it through getting back in the "swing of things" and now through our first three day weekend of the school year. Thank you, Labor Day for a nice little break!


We had fun playing in the pool today.


They were having a contest to see who could stay on the whale the longest.


So much fun!


Somebody didn't want to get their picture made!


Trey and Pop were racing.


Nanny got in on the fun, too!!
Things have been going great! Carl is super-busy cutting rice right now. I think in the past two weeks the kids only got to see him an hour or less each night before bed. We miss him, but are thankful for no-work Sunday's!


We spent a little time out at the farm fixing Carl's deer feeder yesterday.


We all had a pretty good time except one person...


MAKENA! She is always ready to leave!
Carlie is having a blast in High School! She is doing very well, making 100's on almost every test/quiz she takes!


She took her drivers test a couple of weeks ago (the driving part ), and failed. She was crushed. I finally got her calmed down enough to go back to school. The kids in her room were super sweet and told her it would be okay :) She says she isn't taking it again until November. That's fine with me as long as she KNOWS she is ready!!
Makena is doing great too! She had a bad incident with her "friend" Harlee. Makena asked her why they weren't hanging out much anymore and she told her it was because they didn't have anything in common. How mean is that?! Especially when Makena lost most of her friends taking up for that wierdo! Yeah, I may be a little upset. She has been hanging out with a few of the boys in her class along with a couple of younger girls. Same crap different day with the mean girls in her class. I still pray that one day she will find a real friend. She still really likes her teacher. She is also still taking piano, playing the ukulele, and looking forward to basketball season!

She's got talent!
Trey - Man is just lovin' life. He has been doing well in school for the most part. He battled last weekend and the beginning of last week with bronchitis. He had a lot of work/tests/quizzes to make up, so that hurt him a little, but we're all good now and ready to get back on track. He loves riding the 4 wheeler after school, and he just started piano again last week. He is so excited about learning to play. He's had a year already and loves it!


He really did feel bad! His doctor was pretty concerned about his breathing. We are so thankful that he is better!
And me, I'm just doing my thang here and there and everywhere. Trying my best to do whatever is needed and to stay on top of things. That's what Mom's do, right?!
Much Love,
Beth

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...
