Weekend Rewind

 Happy Tuesday, friends. For the past two weeks I have managed to get my weekend recap post up on a Tuesday. After waking up at 5:30 every morning last week, it was nice to be able to sleep-in until 7:30-8 o'clock! We pretty much spent the weekend with our kids and grandkids. Here is a precious picture of my sweet boy Wesley:

He's just getting so big!

On Saturday, Carl smoked ribs and we invited Carlie and the kids to come out and eat with us. I know that when Caleb is at the fire station, it sure makes for long days. I try to help as much as I can. We ended up taking Wrenley to the houseboat. That is the first time she has been on it since we put it in the river. She was a little scared at first (it didn't help that we took the little aluminum boat), but she really liked putting her feet in the water. Pappy forgot the key, so we had to stay on the porch. She also didn't love wearing the lifejacket, so a short trip was fine with her!
She was all smiles 💗

She was pretty much glued to Aunt Kena on the boat.

And now be prepared for some more baby spam!
He was thinking about it...

There it is. That sweet smile!
So, if you are new here, I am currently spending my days watching my almost 3 month old grandson. He has a spot in the same daycare that Wrenley attends preschool but his mom and I both agreed that maybe she would wait until after Labor Day to send him. I kept Wrenley (along with Caleb's mom and my parents occasionally) until she was 16 months old. Although I do not love to get up at 5:30 five days a week, I wouldn't trade this precious time with him for anything. I love having time to bond with him. He really is a good baby, but man...he can fight sleep like it's his job! He is starting to coo and smile. I know I will be sad when he has to go to daycare, but that isn't my choice to make. I'll just love on him while I can.

I call him my little bear💙

Now for an update on Trey. He missed work all of last week. He was so dizzy and had an awful headache. The doctor ordered an MRI, and it came back clear (praise the Lord). We finally came to the conclusion that dehydration complicated his other issues. I am happy to say that he is back to work now and he seems to be doing great. He is drinking plenty of water and adding some electrolytes as well. This heat is no joke and unfortunately, there isn't any relief in sight. I think I have forgotten how hot and miserable August is!

Hope you all have a great week!

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...
