Back To School 2022

 Hey guys! I've been a little busy around here for the past two weeks, so I wanted to take a few minutes to put a few pictures up of what we've been up to during the first couple of weeks of school.

Trey is enjoying his document processing class.

And then he had to clown...typical Trey

Bible with Mr. McBride is always a favorite.
Boone loves it too

Trey's favorite school supply:  his Bob Ross calendar!

We moved Makena to school on the 22nd.
She is in a dorm that is super nice and basically an apartment.
She has her own room and shares a bathroom with 1 suitemate.

All smiles this year!
Last year she moved in a week late because she had Covid, and her first year Carl and I were in tears.  This was the best move-in so far!  

We had our annual Back to School kick-off for the Gospel Project kids at church.  We had a big game night planned but it rained off -and -on all afternoon (keep in mind that it hadn't rained in weeks) so we had pizza indoors then played a few games outside and had a devotional. 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
Trey played the part of a human pinata.  
He ran and the kids had to grab candy from him.  
He became tired pretty fast but was a good sport about it all.

I have an older class this year.  All of our youger kids have grown and we are not currently advertising for a younger group due to a lack of teachers and space for another class.  I can't wait to watch my kiddos learn new truths about God's Word this year!

Weeks one and two of homeschool have been busy but good.  We found out at the end of our second week that Carlie is supposed to have her baby on the 29th, so our schedule is going to be completely crazy after that.  We will figure it out. 

Hope everyone has a happy school year!

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...
