Our Weekend in Branson

He is such a goofball!

We made a stop at the Apple Tree Mall and of course Makena found a guitar and fell in love.

Carlie doesn't play any instruments but we decided she might play the tambourine, lol!

Trey found Mater!

At the Dixie Stampede!

Waiting to go in

This was an old folks tp group from St. Louis.  It was funny because they were so stiff!

Selfie time!!


This was the first time we have ever seen the Christmas Show
It was beautiful!
We decided that we needed a little get away. Things have been a little crazy around here and a break was just what we needed! We left early Friday morning. The first thing we did was buy tickets to the Dixie Stampede. We could only get in at the 8pm show, which was not my first choice, but we took it and it all worked out really well!
Saturday we drove to Springfield to go to the Bass Pro Shop. We haven't been in years so it was nice to see all of the changes.
Fun times!

My girlies

The kids at Santa's workshop 

We were relaxing in the camping section while the boys were shopping.

Trey was trying to have a serious face like a soldier in this one...

Then there is this one!

Fun with my middle baby in the hot tub.

Makena and Trey moved to the pool

Carl made his way in too!!

Saturday night we went to The Promise Land Zoo drive through lights.

Just a couple of monkeys :)

Pretty peacock

Bird

Bucks

This crazy reindeer wouldn't be still so I could get a good picture. He was very friendly though. 

We also almost froze to death riding the Branson Ferris Wheel.
It was awesome...cold, but awesome.

We had such a good time on this trip! We laughed harder than we have in a long time. I guess that just says a lot about how much we needed to get away!

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...
