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

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?"....
