Wordless Wednesday: New Hope

R2Films has come out with a new faith-based movie!

New Hope

We are attending the premier next Friday and it's black tie. How bout them apples?

gettin' all fancy!

Mom was asked to write the workbook/devotional book that goes along with the film.

So that churches or groups can watch the film and discuss the issues.

Cool, huh?

I'm super proud of her! 

If you want to join us for the premier: go here

Omelette in a bag

First off. 

Is it omelet? or omelette?

Secondly.

does it matter?

Moving on...

We meet Sunday nights with our house church/small group. Each month we meet at a different house.

Which is a nice little rotation so that each family doesn't get stuck with cleaning up, prep, etc each Sunday.

This month is at our house! I absolutely love having everyone over. Seriously, i love it. 

It also gives me a reason to clean my house weekly. Because honestly, i need motivation. 

Each week, we create a food list with an overall theme and everyone brings their contribution to the table.

Last week, we made omelets!

IN A BAG. 

Hello girl scouts!

I think it was JoErins idea...or Mirandas. Either way....genius!

Here's how it's done:

 throw some eggs and whatever else you like into a sandwich bag

label your bags if you have multiple people

(note GT$'s)

scramble by mushing on the bag

yes, mush 

drop them all into an already boiling pot of water

everyone can hang out while their eggs are cooking (12-15 minutes)

even do some muscle man modeling like Tommy (no clue!)

then take the baggies out of the water

looky there folks, it's an omelet in a bag

tump 'em out on a plate and enjoy with your friends!

they're a little different texture than the skillet kind, but still tasty (the omelets, not your friends)

add some biscuits and coffee to the mix and you're good to go!

wouldn't these little things be perfect for camping???

I highly recommend them for a group. We'll definitely repeat that meal with our house church.

Have I mentioned how much I love our group?

It's amazing how encouraging it is to meet with the same people weekly, share your heart, your joys and study the Word. 

Now, go scramble up an egg in a bag.

Around the house

It's a great Friday morning to be thankful and appreciate the little things around the house.

fresh new flowers in a mason jar

(typically i don't do pink or purple...but hey, we're quickly approaching the month for lovers)

eating good makes me feel good

why can't i remember that while digging into the Blue Bell?

on my way to all-natural eating 

this looked tasty...we'll see

little Trigger

he's a goodun', that little feller

Rifle Paper Co. calendar

a wonderful gift from my mom. isn't it lovely? 

an unmade bed and lights that are never coming down

an old framed mirror used in a new way to display lotions and fragrance

GT says i'm a Pistol Annie because I have rifle cartridges next to my perfume

Some days, it's all about the little things

Happy Friday folks,

Kate

watch out!

Jake and Beau came in for one night a few weeks ago on their way to Dallas so Jake could interview for a job! Go Jakey! I mean....Dr.Jake.

Hey, we'll take it.

Even though they were only in for a few short hours, Beau was on the move.

I love this age.

He is so active and interactive.

He loves, i mean LOVES to laugh.

He loves anything with wheels...trains, cars, trucks, tractors. you name it. 

it has wheels? he'll take 2. 

He is on the move, you gotta watch out.

Never know what you'll see comin' round the bend!

Then I had to move. 

I was in the way. obviously.

Love me some Beau-man.

I wish so badly that I could just play all day, everyday with him. and nap.

counting down the days til we play trains!

Viva Las Vegas

I think that my favorite thing about Vegas is the food

and the great company

and the fun

and random encounters with random famous people in their suite

The reason for the jaunt to Vegas was the annual SHOT show

GT was super busy meeting with different sponsors and various people in the hunting/outdoor industry.

and i tagged along

The Golden Moose Awards were held at the Hard Rock Cafe

It is the annual Outdoor Channel awards show

As previously posted, Duck Commander won the Overall best show award!

Korie and Willie did an awesome job on the acceptance speech

i might have cried i was so proud!

the Golden Moose

Zac Brown Band followed the awards show and they did not disappoint

the fiddle player is my fave

incredible musicians

that dude can play

last day breaking down the booth

(i helped, i promise)

isn't this place beautiful?

how did they create this perfect recreation of Venice inside? inside!

my desk for studying while GT worked

perhaps it wasn't used as much as planned. i tried. honestly. 

studying in Vegas might be one of the silliest ideas i've had. 

next time, i plan on hiking some and exploring the landscape

Korie and I spent Thursday afternoon shopping.

We did some damage (p.s. we didn't buy these shoes. we'd both be 6'15")

I love spending time with Korie and feel very blessed that we get to travel together!

business meeting? it's whatevs

i'll take the sushi

Honestly, i'm glad to be home.

It's always fun to get dressed up and eat great food in super legit restaurants.

We're incredibly blessed to do what we do. I recognize that and try not to take it for granted.

Here's to another great year at SHOT!
