Still Beachin'

Trey had to have his breakfast on the balcony!

This is her "natural habitat"!

Never too old to play in the sand :)

Bookworm!

Makena's hair is all messed up because she is wearing her GoPro with head gear.
She videoed all kinds of stuff under water.  It was really cool.

The dolphins came closer to us as the storm approached.

More dolphin pics

My pirate family!!

After the storm, the waves were awesome!

So fun

All of my crew in the water

I'm not sure what Trey was doing!

A little blurry, but this little girl beside him kept eyeing him....he ignored her!

After those crabs!

Everybody had the best time.

They always hate to stop and take pictures, but I kinda insist!

Tuesday started out beautiful and we enjoyed the beach for about 2 or 3 hours, then it stormed, so we ate lunch at the condo then went shopping.  Oh, and you should have heard all of the complaining when Carlie and I mentioned going to the outlet mall!  We went anyway :)  Carlie and I were in TJ Maxx and the electricity went off...and the doors couldn't open for about 3 or 4 minutes....and I was freaking out!  When we did finally make it out of the store we left and went back to Gulf Shores!! We were able to go back out to the beach then we ate at Sea and Suds (one of our favorite places), came back and went crab hunting.  We only caught a few small ones, but it's always fun to just be out on the beach at night, listening to the waves.  It's magical :)
Sadly, another day is in the books and Friday is getting closer and closer, but we made lots of memories and tomorrow is somebodies birthday :) :)

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...
