A Birthday,More Swimming, and Comedy Hour

You may ask, "Do you swim everyday?!" and the answer would be yes! We enjoy our summers at the pool with friends and alone :) This week was mostly alone, and it was fantabulous!!
My dad, Pop, also celebrated his birthday on Saturday. He didn't want a cake (what?!), so we had ice creams poolside.
On Sunday, my parents had a cook out at their house followed by, you guessed it, swimming (but today we had LOTS of friends)!

Nanny, Trey, and Carlie

Every time I tried to take Makena's picture, she was under water!

Carlie with her crooked jump!

Makena and I were playing with my phone under water.  You Apple people can have your iPhone, I personally LOVE my Samsung!

Pop and Trey playing pool ball on his birthday.

Everyone say, "Birthday ice cream"!
Happy Birthday, Pop!!

Makena's attempt was a failed one....she ended up falling in the pool!

Trey fell off of Dino and almost fell off the slide!

On Friday, the kids and I were out at the pool by ourselves because my parents were out of town.  Trey found a butterfly :)

And Friday night we had a little fun hanging out in the screened-in tent.  In Southeast Arkansas, you don't dare go outside in the evening without bug spray and some type of screen to protect you frome those blood- sucking mosquitoes!  We played music and Trey got to doing his comedy routine and we laughed so hard...One day I will video it.  He is hilarious!!

Look closely and you can see my crazies.....and yes, the clothes line is in the picture :)
You better Redneckinize!!

Makena Faith, jumping for joy!! 
We love summer :)

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!...

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?"....
