February Recap

 Whew, it didn't take long for me to get behind! Welcome to my first monthly recap of the year... and it's only February! One day I'll get it together (maybe).

We started the month off strong, celebrating Carl's 45th birthday with a seafood boil!






He is the best! Happy Birthday, Carl!!

We also went for a little visit to Wynne with Carlie and Wrenley. Makena had to work, and Trey was squirrel hunting with my uncle for the Arkansas Game and Fish's Big Squirrel hunt. I didn't get many pictures. 
Wrenley was weirded out by the American Girl dolls on Nana's bed.
She wanted to cover their eyes with their hair!

Up next was Valentine's Day! This is my least favorite "holiday". I think that if you love someone, you show it every day, not just on a holiday. Carl and I opted for a quiet night in this year.
 Our surf and turf was amazing!

Trey had his first date with his now girlfriend, Alana.
She is super sweet and friendly.

Valentine's Day is also Boone's birthday! He turned 4 years old today.
This is the day we got him and now :)

Here are a few other pictures from Valentine's Weekend:
Me with my sweet girl

She is really into Super Kitties, and I found this costume at Walmart.
She loved it!!

We also celebrated my nephew, Noah's 18th birthday this month!
Carl and I were there the day he was born. In fact, we drove them to the hospital!
It's hard to believe he is about to graduate and head to college!

Eli, Noah, Ellie Kate, and Trey

The three amigos
Makena needed a picture on the blog. She is a pretty busy lady these days. She has to work on Saturdays but is off on Mondays. She also stays with Carlie and Wrenley when Carlie is on call and Caleb is at the fire station. She is a great daughter, sister, and auntie!

I pick Wrenley up from school on most Thursdays. Yesterday was a beautiful day. Perfect for lots of outdoor playing! She found some flowers to pick, went Ranger riding, and played in her cozy coupe.


Can we just take a minute to soak up this cuteness?!


And that sums up the month of February. We made a lot of good memories and spent quality time with family. It was a good month.

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...
