It's Christmas Time!

Three Munger Kiddos at the mall

Vinny, Lia, Shelby, and Genesis at Teddy Bear Night

Kynnlea and Presley were enjoying their cookies at Teddy Bear Night.

Lia is the cutest!

Miss Aubree is a doll too!

Sista, Sista!

Enchanted Land of Lights at Regional Park in Pine Bluff

The gator is always a favorite!

This one is awesome too!

Drive thru light shows are the best....especially when it's cold.

Trey also liked this one a lot.

My mom made nutty-buddies and they were delish!

We had Garrett Christmas and it was nice, but not the same without Papaw.

The food was super yummy!

Makena was cold!

Brandon and Greyson

Trey got Legos!

Trey had some help from Austin

We have been all about Christmas lately.  Partly because we are (slowly) getting in the Christmas spirit and partly because its happening whether we like it or not!  I have gotten almost all of the Christmas presents bought and they barely fit under the tree!  The kids are excited to find out what they are getting, and I'm ready to get rid of some this clutter.
About a week ago we had a Teddy Bear Night at our church for the younger kids.  The girls and helped out.  It was fun the kids did really well making crafts, cookies, reading books and watching movies. They probably went home all sugared up, but that wasn't really our problem.
We also made our annual trip to Pine Bluff to see the Christmas lights at Regional Park. The kids always enjoy it, but I'm thinking that next year we may try a different location.  They have been pretty much the same for the past two years!  At least nobody got sick on the way home this year.
Our Garrett Christmas was held over the weekend and it was hard.  I kept expecting to see or hear Papaw at any moment.  We had a good time talking and eating, but it will never be the same as it used to be.

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...
