Back To School Swim Party


Makena Faith, playing basketball (of course)

Carlie Erin with her Pocahontas braids :)
 
My mom with some of the kids in the pool.

Anna Grace and Carl....she looks a little less than thrilled with my pictures.

Anthony was upset with someone.  I just couldn't resist taking a picture.  He's such a cutie!!

Lots of fun for the little ones.

Kara and Kevin with baby Nick.

Then the big kids started having some fun doing jumps and dives.
My "Super" Dad!

Carl did a butt buster!

Not sure what Trey was doing :)

Bonnie and Jillian

Me and my girls!

Greg and Bro. Chipper shooting the breeze.

We made a trip to the library Friday afternoon because Makena needed a book report.
She either needed an information book or a biography, and she was absolutely thrilled when we found The Brandon Burlsworth Story!
She is a huge fan of EVERYTHING Razorback!
My parents also took her and Carlie to see Greater (the Brandon Burlsworth movie).  I got mixed reviews: my mom and Makena said it was awesome and my dad and Carlie said it was "ok". 

We didn't have church services Sunday night, so we went out to the farm to enjoy our last hoorah until next Sunday!  Carl will start rice harvest tomorrow (at least that is the plan), so I will be a farming widow :(
Isn't this just beautiful though?  We sure have an awesome Creator!

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...
