Weekend Fun

Hey friends! I took a little break last week, partly due to the events of the week and partly due to some health issues. I am feeling a little better but still not 100% and we aren't for sure as to what's going on. So how was your weekend? Ours was pretty laid back. Here are a few pictures:
Trey and Talan made a pool in the back of Talan's Kawasaki. It was pretty funny but there wasn't really any room for two 🤣  so they drove over to my parents to swim.

Find this little guy in the front yard before the rain came in. And as you can see, he/she wasn't little at.all. 

A storm was brewing  

I was able to spend about an hour at the pool by myself on Saturday.  My mom and Makena went to buy groceries for my grandparents, Carl and Trey got haircuts (PTL), and Carlie was at work. It was nice for about the first 30 minutes. The silence was almost deafening. 

First Carlie came, then my mom, Makena, and my dad. We had a fun swim and an ice cream. Because swimming and ice cream just go together, don't they?!

Toby also decided he wanted in!

On Saturday night Carl fixed burgers on the Blackstone. He may have a somewhat unhealthy obsession with this thing. I mean, he could spend hours watching YouTube videos of some guy cooking on one. I don't get it, BUT I like that it inspires him because that means I don't have to cook! On Sunday he decided to fix breakfast outside (except the biscuits). Fine with me! We didn't have to go to church smelling like Bro. and Sis. Bacon. I like Sunday morning big breakfasts but I do not like smelling like it at church!

We went back to swim on Sunday evening. Trey jumps like this almost every time but especially if he thinks you don't want to get wet. He's a great diver and can cannon ball like nobody's business but this makes the biggest, hardest splash.

Toby was my floating buddy.

It was a great cool down to a hot day.

And it was a pretty great weekend even if I wasn't feeling the best. 


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...
