Sunday morning came bright and early!
Carlie's team wore alien shirts.

T-Man came home with three patches!
Carl and I were so proud of him.

Trey and Makena got 5th place overall in doubles. 
That is out of 120 doubles! They did awesome.
Keep in mind that this was the first tournament for both of them.

On April 28th all five Mungers headed to Jonesboro for the Arkansas State Youth Bowling Tournament. We had fun, made tons of memories, and came home winners!
I have had some people ask me how we got into bowling. First of all let me just say that we are not "bowling people". Carl bowled some in high school but it was just for fun. I am terrible at it. The opportunity just fell in our laps, really. We were bowling with family not long after Christmas a couple of years ago and the owners told us about a scholarship league that ran for 10 weeks and started the first Saturday in January. The kids and I had been looking for an activity to join, especially for the girls. Every city league team goes to the 6th grade, so there was basically nothing for them to join. They showed interest in trying and here we are!
Back to the tournament...we bowled six games on Saturday and three on Sunday. It was a pretty quick trip, but definitely worth it. The kids were around tons of other kids and seemed to really enjoy themselves. Just to make things crystal clear, I am in NO way concerned about the socialization of my kids. I am just stating the fact that they were around plenty of other kids...for those of you who may worry about them. Forced association is NOT in any way, shape, or form socialization...I firmly believe that. 
So there you have it fun, memories, and winning= AWESOME WEEKEND!!

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...
