Summer is the Best!

Everyone knows I love summer.  The beach, pool, warm weather, the smell of sunscreen, sleeping in, and pretty much NO SCHEDULES!  I try to add a few educational things in and we will soon be making a trip to Barnes and Noble and the library to find some new books, but for now, we are working a few things we already have at home.
Like dissecting the cows eye!
(out in the shop, of course!)

Ya'll...I do not care to see the optic nerve, cornea, or any other part of this eye.
It really isn't seeing that bothers me so much...

The smell seriously makes me want to puke!!
We also finally built and activated Trey's volcano, but for some reason I can't get the pictures to load.
It is so NOT what it appears to be on the box!!  I was expecting some kind of big eruption...that didn't happen. It sort of spewed out.  Disappointing to say the least!
It wouldn't be summer without swimming in the pool...almost EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!! 

Trey looked like a nerdy tourist!

Noah and Trey under their "palm tree", lol

Carlie was getting some sun!

Makena hates when I take her picture!

I stole Carl's Sanders hat :)

I took a picture of Trey under the water with my phone.
It hasn't been the same since....will barely charge and won't hold charge for long.
I may have to bite the bullet and get another one sooner than I had planned!!

And another one!

Eli wanted his picture too ;)

Shelby, Makena Faith, and Eli (always has his tongue sticking out!)

Trey, jumping

Noah David

Eli, doing a twist (?)

Me and Sadie Lou

We have a busy week ahead of us between dentist appointments, doctors appointments, a piano recital, Father's Day, and VBS decorating!! 
After a week with preschool kids, we will be ready for vacation!! 

Much Love,
Beth

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...

Red Flags: Guarding Our Hearts & Our Churches

 Scripture tells us that shepherds are entrusted with God's flock, no for selfish gain but "being examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:3). A pastor's calling is a holy one, rooted in humility, sacrifice, and love. But Jesus also warned that not every shepherd has pure intentions--some are "wolves in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15).  As believers, we must stay discerning. Here are some red flags to watch out for in pastors: 1.  Special Treatment for Certain Families  James warns against showing partiality (James 2:1-4), yet some pastors cater to certain families, wealthy donors, or influential members while neglecting the rest of the body. Christ doesn't play favorites--every soul in the church matters equally to Him. A true shepherd cares for the unnoticed as much as the well-known. 2. Neglecting the Brokenhearted  Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18), but a pastor who avoids the messy, hurting, or less "influential" people in th...
