Farm Safety Day 2016

Trey, Atticus, and Braden

We learned about being safe with electricity.

They got to wear some of the gloves that linemen use when fixing and working with electricity.

We also learned about boating safety.
Trey got to be a demonstrator :)
He liked the attention.

This was our gun safety instructor.
He was a little bit of a grouch.  Party pooper!!

Here we learned about germs.  It was fittingly named, "Germ City".

Trey and the other kids learning about tractor and lawnmower safety.

Can you see Bubba in the background?  The main lesson here was "Don't be a Bubba"!  Pay attention when you're around machinery.

Here was our fire safety instructor.  I didn't get to watch it because they piled the whole group in that little trailer for the lecture and then filled it with "smoke" and let them climb out of the back window.

I guess you would call this class animal safety. The kiddos got to handle a baby alligator and touch some snakes.  It wasn't really my favorite, but they all seemed to like it.

I caught Trey touching the alligator.

Well, folks I made it through my last Farm Safety Day!  I have been to it will all three of my kids over a period of five years and not a lot has changed!  Trey was however, the only one that has been homeschooled.  We signed up and went all on our own and they put us in a group with the private school kids, so Trey got to be with some of his buddies from school.  There are three main private schools in the area, and two of them seem to have nice kids.  There is one in the area (that will remain nameless) whose kids were so snobbish....and it is supposed to be a Christian School! If you're kids are as mean to others as I saw them be, you got some work to do.  I am extremely glad that Trey won't have to deal with that everyday. 
Maybe I was just tired, maybe I'm getting old, but one thing I know for sure, I am glad that I do not have to go back to one of these!!!

It was fun to spend a day with Trey!

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...
