Easter Sunday 2018

My three nuggets on the way to church.

Trey with his Sunday School class

Macy, Makena, Ms. Ruby, and Carlie were ready for Sunday School!

Carl leading singing before Sunday School. Doesn't he look handsome?!

Not the best picture of us, but the only person available to take this was my nephew, Noah. He did a good job, the angle was just a little wonky.

After church we went to the Community Center to have lunch with my Grammy and family.

My mom brought her dog Toby. He looked so cute in his tie. I told Carlie he was her boyfriend for the day!

I got stuck in between the kids end and the adults.

Makena broke out the Bubble Glove for entertainment.

They found some old sacks in the attic and had races.

Three legged race was interesting to watch.

Trey and Maxee Parker

7 of the 9 Great-grandkids

Grammy and Papa with the great grandkids

It was a pretty fun day. We had great church services (even though it sounded like a zoo with all of the babies). We got to visit with family at Grammy's that we haven't seen since Christmas and I got a nap before we went back to church! I still felt crappy but I still pushed through. I guess it is Mommy guilt. I just can't let a holiday go by without being traditional. I want my kids to have those memories and know that mama would do whatever it takes to make sure they have good memories, even if she dis feel/look like poo.

It was good for my soul to see Trey play the guitar while Carl and Andrea sang "The Old Rugged Cross". They did a great job and I don't think he messed up at all. These are the memories I will forever cherish. Thank you God for my salvation, my family, and your church. I would be lost without them.

"He is not there, He is risen!"

Much Love,

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...
