Happy Birthday, Trey!

 How in the world did my baby grow up so fast?!  It seems like yesterday that they told us that we were having a boy!  I'll never forget how tight Carl held my hand.  Don't get me wrong, it wouldn't have mattered to him if we had three girls, but he was super excited when he found out he was a boy.  Then when we were deciding on a name, Carlie decided that we should name him Coyote.  For real...like when we told her at the hospital that his name was Trey, she cried crocodile tears. When we brought him home from the hospital, Makena could hardly keep her hands off of him.  She was so proud to be a big sister.

And just like that he grew up.  He is a (mostly) responsible, sweet, hilarious kid.  He is always willing to help others and we all joke about how he is a friend to all of the older men around the community.  He marches to the beat of his own drum, and doesn't care about the opinions of others (don't know where he got that!).

Here are a few pictures of from his birthday weekend.

He was the squishiest baby!

He has always been all boy!

LOVE HIM SO MUCH!


16 going on 26!

I know it's a little juvenile, but I couldn't help myself.

Happy 16th birthday, Trey!!

Make a wish sweet boy!

He got a new duck call!

Makena didn't come in from school until around 8 on Saturday night
so she was able to stay until Monday morning.  She wouldn't have missed his birthday for anything!
We ended the day having dinner at the river.  

Happy birthday, Trey Landon!  We love you and are so proud of the young man you are becoming.

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...
