State Bowling Tournament 2022

The Rice Bowling Center Strikers

Cheering our boy on!

His awards this year. 

We spent the better part of the weekend at the Arkansas State Youth Bowling Tournament with Trey.  He bowled with his team on Saturday afternoon and then again in doubles and singles on Sunday morning.  While I never enjoy having to wake up super early (we had to leave our house at 5:30 on Sunday morning), it was fun to watch him.  Doubles was not our friend this year.  I am blaming the timing (lol), but he did awesome in singles.  We had the pleasure of taking two of his teammates with us to the tournament on Sunday.  I am glad I only have to feed one teenage boy on a regular basis.  Those boys can EAT!
Makena had Tiger Serve day for school on Saturday and the history department put on a workshop at the cemetery in Arkadelphia. 



 After her workshop was over, she drove to Little Rock to watch Trey.  She ended up coming home with us.  Carlie and Caleb invited us to stop by and eat dinner with them.  It was very nice to not have to worry about cooking when we got back home.
My three babies.

It was a fun weekend. I am thankful that we found bowling.  It was one of those things that kind of fell in our lap when we started homeschooling.  I was looking for something for the kids to do (Trey was playing soccer at the time) and happened to see this something on our bowling center's Facebook page.  We have made friends that we otherwise wouldn't have and we have also made a little money for college.  

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...
