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

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...
