More Fall Fun!

Things have suddenly gotten super busy around here. Carl has been working late with soybean harvest, basketball practice is in full swing, piano lessons, 9 week exams, church activities....it's been a LOT!
Last Friday night we finally decided to carve our pumpkins after Carl got in from work.


Carl always helps them get started!


Getting rid of the "pumpkin guts"






Always knew that electric knife would come in handy!


Drawing his face


Ta Da!


The weather was nice and cool, but due to the burn ban, we weren't able to have a bonfire. We did cheat and have a small fire in the pit of Carl's smoker :)
Have I ever told you that Carlie is our group - activity leader? Well, she attempts to plan out our vacation every year; where we go, when we go,etc. Well, she had an idea to do fall pictures. She picked out her clothes and Trey's. Makena decided that if she had to take pictures (which she hates), she was at least going to wear what she picked! Here are some of the pictures we took last Saturday:

I absolutely love this one!


Sweet sisters


I think the word, "Bye Felicia" may have been spoken as they were walking away!!


Another one of my faves
We all had fun with our mini photo shoot.
Carl got off at lunch on Saturday because they had a breakdown on the combine so he was able to get in on that fun! We went out and got his box stand moved and ready to hunt in. It was a pretty fun day.
The days are getting shorter and the weather is finally starting to cool off. If we could just get some rain, we would be in good shape (Lord, please send us some rain)!


Makena had her first basketball game on Tuesday night. The Lady Mustangs got their first win on their season opener! Very proud of my #55! Trey hasn't had game yet, and as far as I know they don't have any scheduled yet. He is ready, though! Carlie has decided to take the year off. I hope she doesn't regret it, but I didn't want to have to make her do it all season, either.
So, that is all the Fall Fun we have been having around here lately!
Much Love
Beth

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...

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...

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...
