Weekend Fun

Good morning friends!  I hope that you all had a terrific weekend.  We had a pretty typical weekend around here.  Late night rides, weenie roasts/bonfires, bowling, and church.  The temperatures are finally lining up with the beginning of fall, so we were able to (comfortably) spend more time outside. 
                                                                       

 
Saturday morning bowling.
Trey bowled with a *gasp* girl today.
Needless to say he may have been a little distracted.
He scored pretty well on the first one, but the second one sucked!

Makena came home on Saturday afternoon after spending the morning serving the community of Arkadelphia with her school. 
she served with the History department (she is a public History major)

Ouachita is such a great school!

Carl was cutting rice all day on Saturday.  We are used to him never being around for the fun during harvest, but we always miss him.  
Saturday was also National Daughters Day.
I sure love my two girls.  They are both great kids and I am super proud of them.

Since my sister's kids were here, we had a weenie roast at my parent's house.
Noah wouldn't smile for me, so this is what we got! Teenage boys are something else.

My Grammy and BIL, Tim.

Papa and Grammy

After we got back from my parent's Carlie and Caleb came over for a good old fashioned bonfire.
It was so good to have everyone here....

Even Carl got to be here!

Trey and Macy...Macy belongs to Carlie and Caleb and she and Boone are besties.
Boone finally out-grew her, but Macy NEVER.SITS.STILL!  Hence, the reason she is blurry!

 Today is National Sons Day!
I am so happy that God gave us a son. Our would was so nice and clean and PINK before Trey.
Even though he is a little messy and sometimes dirty and stinky, we love that he turned our world upside down 16 years ago.  

This is my favorite thing to do after a very long frustrating day of school.
Homeschool isn't always fun and games.  Sometimes my dear sweet boy doesn't want to do his work or watch all of his lessons.  That makes for a real fun day for us both.  He may or may not get threatened with public school at that point.

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...
