Weekend Rewind

 It's Tuesday and I'm just now getting the weekend rewind up. Today has been Monday part two around here! Here is a look at what we did over the weekend:

On Thursday we had a mini photoshoot.  Makena was needing an updated picture, and she just got a haircut and feeling all fresh, so we headed out to find a spot! I swear she is the most photogenic of the three of my kids.  She definitely didn't get that from her momma!





On Friday night Carlie and Caleb asked us to eat dinner with them at their house.  Carlie was off all day on Friday and spent a good part of the day cooking.  We had tenderloin, baked potatoes, and corn on the cob.  She also made a cake! Ah, I remember being excited about cooking for others! 


Trey thought it would be cute to pick Macy up.
She is a bit of a terror but super sweet.
I think she was a bit heavier than he expected.

On Saturday we were back to bowling.  Trey had a pretty good first game.  His second game was terrible.  He knew it too.  As you can see in the picture below, he was thrilled.  It shouldn't matter, but sometimes the people you have bowling beside you does affect how your bowling goes.  Trey isn't super competitive with his bowling.  Maybe he should be? The kid we bowled with on this particular week is competitive, but his parents are worse!  I'm just like, "chill the heck out, it's just bowling!". Sheesh! 


Saturday afternoon was my niece, Ellie Kate's birthday party.  She had a tie-dye lama theme!  And believe me, that is so her. Her birthday is actually on the 20th but we had fun celebrating with pizza, presents, and cake!


Sunday was move-in day for Makena.  We left immediately after church. I think we took as much stuff this trip as we did in the fall!  Carl had to loft her bed for her and we had a shelf to take, so it was necessary for us to go.  I still don't let her lift heavy things.  There is always a fear in the back of my mind that she will re-injure her back and have to have a third surgery. She still gets irritated when I tell her to be careful.  We just know that if there ever has to be a third surgery, it will be a major surgery.

Quick selfie before we left.  
We love our sweet Kena!

I started working on my planner for the week and for some reason black and yellow just stood out to me. This was in the very early stages of planning.  I didn't get an after picture because when I remembered I had already written all in it. Maybe next week, I'll show you a little more of the planner set-up process. 

We are thankful for a fun weekend as a family. 

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...
