Glasses,Hats,Pizza, and The Hogs!

Trey got his new glasses, and I must say he looks so handsome in them!

Grammy and Papa gave Trey a hat (kind of for his birthday, kind of not!)

We had a few days of cooler weather and evidently, it was a little too cold for Makena Faith in our house, so she broke out the hoodie. By the way, yes, she is taking a test in her pajama pants at the kitchen table! We love homeschooling :)

We made pizza's on Friday night. We bought the crusts and the kids picked what they wanted on their own. You know we have to do/ have three of everything! Carlie made a cheese stuffed crust (she used crescent rolls) pizza, Makena made taco pizza, and Trey made a hamburger and pepperoni pizza. They were the best we have ever made and they had fun doing it!

It has been one week since rice harvest started and let me just say, I am SO over it!

Carl and I have been together for 20 years and married for 17 and I don't think I will EVER get used to being a single mom! One night a dump broke down and of course he was already in the late pull, so he didn't even make it home until 9:30. Our kids go to bed at 9:00 (typically)....again, this is a perk to homeschooling. They were able to stay up and talk to him for a little while before going to bed. If we had still been in "school" they would have already been in bed, and probably asleep!

I am just ready for it to be over because I am D.O.N.E. (and like I said, we are just beginning, so pray for me and for rain, SOMETHING!!)! Maybe its because we are already home all day as it is, I don't know.

Saturday we dressed in our Razorback attire and called the Hogs to a victory against Louisiana Tech! It wasn't be best playing I've seen from them, but maybe they will get better as the season goes on (we hope!)! Carlie wasn't interested in the Razorback game because her beloved Mississippi State Bulldogs just lost to Southern Alabama, and she was a little miffed!

Carl made it home a little early (like 30 minutes) so we went out to the farm to put out some game cameras. He had a HUGE buck on his camera and was super pumped! Trey has been busy putting corn out in the back pasture for "his" deer. Carl killed a pretty good buck back there a couple of years ago (we named him Backyard Buck), so it isn't totally unrealistic that he will see one. So far we've only gotten doe, but he's anticipating that big buck!

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...
