Gulf Shores 2026 Part 1

 Last week we made our annual trek down to the gulf! The only thing standing in our way was an eight hour road trip. I'm not the best rider. I'm more of a passenger princess.

We were packed to the max! 
I guess Trey was cold, lol!

We always stop at Whataburger in Richland, MS for lunch.

Welcome to Gulf Shores!!
Our home away from home.

We finally made it, just in time to eat dinner.
Bahama Bob's was right next to our condo, so we walked over.
Delicious!

The boys were ready to eat!

One of my favorite sights...last name on our chairs for the week!

Ready to enjoy our day!

Trey and this hat!

He will kill me for this one!

Hammy Sammy, Cheetos, and Strawberry and Cream Bloom for lunch!
That's what I'm talking about :)

Another day beach day!

Carl stepped on this little guy.
If you look closely, you can see his feet.
And yes, we did put him back.

Trey thought it would be funny to wear Wrenley's glasses from my swim bag!

The only reason I wanted to come home was to see my grandbabies. 
And maybe the dogs :)

When you go to The Hangout, you take a picture!

Between Carl and Trey, the seagulls ate well!

Speaking of Carl and Trey...every time they went out Trey was in the tube and Carl was holding onto the string or pulling him back up. It was like he was a little kid again!


Found a little Jesus hanging out in the parking garage of the condo!

We had an amazing trip. The waves were huge on the first two days we were there, but only yellow and purple flags were flying. As far as I know, nobody in our group even saw a jelly fish. Carl stepped on a crab one day that snapped his foot pretty good. The water was also pretty mirky the first two days. The third day it was perfect. No outrageous waves, no jellyfish, and the water was a beautiful turquois! 
We had lunch on the beach every day. We ate hammy sammy's, had pizza delivered and went up and grabbed some Bahama Bob's. For our evening meals we ate at Sea and Suds, Bahama Bob's, Tacky Jack's, and The Hangout. All of the food was good but believe it or not, The Hangout won out this year!
I have more adventures to post, but honestly, I am tired and have to upload and edit more pictures before that can happen. Stay tuned for part 2 tomorrow!

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...
