December 2024 Part 1

 It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!


💖💖💖💖

The museum holds "Spaghetti with Santa" each year.
Wrenley was not a fan of him though!

I stole this picture from Carlie because it is such a good one!
Wrenley was a flower girl at Caleb's sister, Whitney's wedding.
Not at all Christmas-related, but it did happen in December :)


Our Church Christmas Program, "The Christmas Family Tree"

Makena was the director of our Christmas program at church this year.
She comes from a long line of "directors". My grandmother directed it for years.
In recent years, my mother has taken over. This year, she passed the reigns to Makena.
Makena did a fantastic job. She asked me to be part of it and I was a little hesitant because
it is a big commitment. Every Sunday afternoon from October to December at 4 p.m. is a lot!
But I wanted to show my support, so I was in! And believe it or not, it really wasn't that bad!

Miss Wren Elizabeth was the most beautiful angel💖

Grammy even sneaked out of the nursing home for a few hours to watch the program.
Here is Wrenley with her Great-grandmother and Great-Great-grandmother.

Merry Christmas Sunday!
Caleb has to work two Sundays out of the month, and this month it was on Christmas Sunday.

If you have seen any of my pictures of Wrenley, you know that she doesn't wear a bow...like at all!
Well, we were dressing her baby doll, and I found an old baby bow of hers. She put it on her head for about two seconds and I was able to snap a picture.
She's such a cutie pie.

Next up, is Grammy's Cowboy Christmas.

Carl and I went out and found a Christmas tree at the farm

We love a good theme around here.
My mom is the Queen of Themes, lol!
A Cowboy Christmas it is!

I had to snap a picture of my "brother", Toby Lewis.

Wrenley got a new babydoll from Grammy.
She absolutely loved her!

Grammy with Carlee, Savvy, Wrenley, and Carlie
The girls were thrilled to play together, and having littles around sure makes Christmas more fun!

Makena was helping Grammy open her presents.

Grammy with 3 of her 4 kids and their spouses.

Grammy with my family.
Caleb is still missing, but will be here just in time for Santa!

It's been a busy and fun month so far! Stay tuned for part 2.

Much Love,
Beth

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Red Flags: Guarding Our Hearts & Our Churches

 Scripture tells us that shepherds are entrusted with God's flock, no for selfish gain but "being examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:3). A pastor's calling is a holy one, rooted in humility, sacrifice, and love. But Jesus also warned that not every shepherd has pure intentions--some are "wolves in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15).  As believers, we must stay discerning. Here are some red flags to watch out for in pastors: 1.  Special Treatment for Certain Families  James warns against showing partiality (James 2:1-4), yet some pastors cater to certain families, wealthy donors, or influential members while neglecting the rest of the body. Christ doesn't play favorites--every soul in the church matters equally to Him. A true shepherd cares for the unnoticed as much as the well-known. 2. Neglecting the Brokenhearted  Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18), but a pastor who avoids the messy, hurting, or less "influential" people in th...

Back To School Photo Shoot

The girls have been begging me since yesterday to take some pictures of them in some of their new outfits but yesterday the weather was kinda iffy as to if was going to rain (never did) and we would have had to fix hair before....and that just didn't really fit into our day, so I told them after church would work.  I would have never guessed how sleepy I would have been after not enough sleep due to Carlie's stomach issues and the fact that I took sinus medicine before I went to bed thought I was going to bed at 11:00.  Needless to say,  could hardly keep my eyes open during church.  I was seriously thinking of finding an empty room and taking a nap until church was over!  Instead, I waited until after we ate lunch (leftovers from last night!) and cleaned up.  I think we finished in record time and I was snoozing away by 12:45 :)  I could hear the kids, so I got up around 2:30 and the first thing Makena asked me was "Can we take pictures now?"....
