October 2024

 To catch up more quickly, I will post months in reviews for October and November. Not ideal, but necessary at this point!

Wrenley has her BeBe's whole heart. 
She is sassy and knows that she can eat ice cream in BeBe's living room anytime she wants to!

We celebrated Elijah's 16th birthday at Larry's pizza! 
I can't believe he is 16 already. He's such a sweet kid. 

Then came the Northern Lights.
They were absolutely stunning!

Wrenley enjoyed the Homecoming Parade! She's proud to be a Ricebird :)

Being silly in church!

First chili of the season! 
I love this Dutch oven more and more every time I use it.

I will never stop taking these pictures!
"Windmill at dusk", lol

He's such a spoiled dog!
Maggie wins Miss Photogenic hands down!

We had a pumpkin carving party in mid-October at my parents' house.
 Wrenley really got into it!

Elijah and Makena carving.

Carlie, Trey, Maggie, and Noah

Trey and Maggie Mae with their pumpkin

Mom and Dad with their crew

The love bond that we have is unbreakable.

Carl and I did a Taco 'Bout Jesus themed car this year at Trunk or Treat. It was rainy and nasty and we were just glad we made it through the night. Wrenley was a beautiful little ballerina.

Such a happy girl :)

That pretty much wraps up our October. It went by pretty fast. Carl and the guys finished with harvest just before Halloween so that worked out perfect! 

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?"....
