Friday Favorites

 It's been a hot minute since I've linked up with Andrea and Erika for a Friday Favorites! This is me trying to get back into my blogging groove :)




I came across this little dress last year when we moved, and I knew it would be fit Wrenley this summer! It was Makena's circa 2004.  I just love it when a plan comes together.  A favorite for sure!

Look at those babies. Twenty years has flown by.

Miss Wrenley Beth.
She doesn't look a thing like her momma, but definitely has Aunt Makena's sass!
Hopefully as her hair grows, she will get Carlie's curls.

We have been doing as much outdoor activities as possible.  That includes one of my favorite things...fishing!
Carl, showing off his big bass.
We weren't technically bass fishing, but whatever bites. It'll eat!

Of course we have also been going to the river.  Our kids weren't able to go with us, so we just took the jet ski.  
It has been raining so the water is a gross brown.
I didn't say we went swimming.  We were just riding and having fun together.
He is my favorite :)

Speaking of rain...it has rained some every day for a whole week.  After I went and picked Wrenley up on Tuesday, I saw this.  No sign of pride, only a promise from God.  

Thankful for all of God's promises.

This little toot is so mischievous! I kept telling her to get off of that before she fell, she did get off of it but only after giving me this look first :)  I look forward to my Tuesdays with her. It my favorite day every week!

"Look at me, BeBe!"

We found Aunt Makena's kid laptop (I need to get Carlie's Barbie one out of storage).
She is too little for the games on here, but we are recognizing some letters!
She's such a smartie pants.

Another favorite is taking rides out at the farm to check the rice water.  Boone loves to tag along.  We were having such a good ride on this particular evening but then he went chasing a skunk...and got sprayed.  He was so ashamed of his stank :(
 
He is super handsome here though :)

Along with the warm & sunny weather, the feeling of a clean car is a favorite for sure!


With the exception of the dog getting sprayed by a skunk, it has been a pretty worry-free week over here. 
What are your favorites this week?

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...
