A Little Rewind

 Happy Monday, friends! It's been a while since I have blogged. Last week just kind of got away from me and I guess I needed a break more than I realized! 

We had Grandparent's Day last week at Wrenley's school. Nanny was sick and Pop was at a sales meeting out of state, but BeBe, Pappy, JoJo, and Papa were there! I know we are all proud to be the grandparents of Wrenley and Wesley (he is at the say school, just in daycare). 

Wrenley was acting shy :)

Earlier in the week, Carl, Trey and I went to the river to check on the houseboat. Trey took his boat and Carl and I took the jet boat. We have only had it out a handful of times over the summer.

Pink Skies are beautiful

Sittin' pretty

We waited a little late to come in, because nobody wanted to leave!
Loading a boat in the dark is not fun though.

Even though it feels like July outside, my guys are getting buck fever! We have been feeding and watching them for weeks now! While Carl has been busy with bean harvest, Trey invited me to go with him to put out corn and a block. And you better bet I said yes! I don't turn down any time he wants to spend with me. 
We brought Maggie with us. She enjoys running free!

Some ladies from our church went to see Chonda Pierce Live at our local college on Friday night. I somehow ended up between my mom and Makena. We had lots of laughs!


My mom sent this picture to me. It is a very old picture that none of us had seen before of my Papa and one of his sisters. I love old pictures and this makes me smile because he is so young and full of life. You can really tell they are having a silly moment.


Sundays are always church days. After church Carlie took the kids to go pick up some mums from the store. She sent me this picture during our evening service at church.
I love them so much!

They are both so precious. Wrenley is still adjusting to having a brother. She still wants me to play with her and not hold him. I enjoy my Thursday afternoons with her because I just get to play with her. We color, have tea parties, play kitchen and babies (pretty much whatever she wants). They are truly a blessing. Every time I look at Wesley, I just think of how far he has come. From that gray life-less baby to a thriving three-month-old. God has been so good to us.

I hope you all have a great week. 

Much Love,
Beth

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...

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...

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...
