Weekend Recap

 Hey friends, I know it's Tuesday, but I wanted to do a little recap from the weekend (Friday thru Monday). We didn't do anything super exciting, but I use this as a digital scrapbook of sorts, so I thought I would post. 

Last week was Camp BeBe. Carlie went back to work, and Wrenley was on her last week of summer break. It wasn't as easy as you might think. Wrenley is still adjusting to being a big sister. She wants my full attention, and with a baby, that just can't happen. We had lots of help though. My mom would come in, Carl would come in, and Makena also came and visited. Anything to break up our days. It also happened to be the hottest week of the summer. Heat index was around 110 some days.

Wrenley loved watering the plants.

Wesley loves to swing on Wrenley's saucer.

Boone was so excited to go for a ride on "Old Mater" with Carl

Camp BeBe even braved Story Time at the Library

These were just a couple of pictures they put on Facebook.
I hadn't planned on leaving the house, or else I would have worn something besides a camo shirt!

We also had Revival at our church every night last week. I felt revived after the week. The evangelist was great and the Holy Spirit was moving. That brings us up to Sunday. It was a cooler day and a little cloudy. Caleb was at the fire station, so Carlie and the kids came to church. Wren didn't sleep well the night before and was complaining of her forehead hurting, so we came home after Sunday School. 

She felt better after coloring a picture and an apple juice at BeBe's.

At lunch we found out that Grammy had been taken to the ER and that she has a bad infection in her gut. Thankfully some pretty hefty antibiotics will have her fixed in no time at all. Trey didn't make it to church Sunday night because he had a migraine. He took a muscle relaxer before dinner and then another one around 9 p.m. I don't know what he was thinking. He has been having a bad backache also. He just knew he was still in pain. Well two muscle relaxers in a short amount of time isn't a good idea. He called 911 sometime around 2:30 a.m. because he couldn't breathe. When they got to his house he was unresponsive. We found out because one of the first responders stopped by and told us. It was so scary for those 20 minutes it took us to get into town. His heart rate was super low as well as his blood pressure. We stayed for about 2.5 hours, got fluids, got a chest Xray, and EKG. Everything was clear...even the drug test for all of you haters. 

When we knew he was okay, I took his picture. 
He was so out of it. They kept having to come in and wake him up.
He finally came back around 4 p.m. on Monday. Super scary for this mama!

Needless to say, I was tired when I had to head over to Carlie's to watch Wesley for the day. It was an exciting day for Wrenley because she starts Pre-K 3!
From the looks of her school report, she had a great day!!

Me and Wesley made it fine thanks to Alani!
Isn't he just the cutest?!

I am so thankful that God spared Trey. It could have been so much worse, and I think he realizes that too. I am thankful for Makena for taking care of him today, for Carlie and the way she makes sure we are taken care of anytime we are at the hospital, for Carl, my parents, and my sweet grandbabies who always keep me busy. Our church family and friends have been checking on us and Trey all day today and that honestly means so much. 
So now we are all caught up. We are exhausted and glad to all be under the same roof tonight. 
I know that was a lot of rambling, but I felt like it needed to be documented.
Hopefully we are only going up from here!

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...
