Memoirs & Momentos

We love to go over to Nana and Papa's house and swim. Eli is a baby fish, he absolutely loves the water. I put swimmies on his arms and he was swimming around unassisted (I was right beside him though). He loves to jump off the side of the pool and off the step into Daddy's (or who ever will catch him) arms. He would even put his head underwater.

Battle of the Books and lsaac's 5th grade year

Isaac was in the Battle of the Books club again this year. They met every Tuesday morning before school. He loves to read but I especially like Battle of the Books because he reads different genres of books and he reads books that he would not neccessarily read for fun. Glenwood came in 5th out of 8 schools... but hey they had fun! Isaac has finished up his 5th grade year and I was already getting weepy today at school thinking that he only has one more year with me. He is such a smart, sweet boy and we are very proud of him. I need to brag on him a minute.... He had to take the science, math and reading EOG's this year and made 4's (the highest score) on all three tests. He made straight A's for his final grade and is going to continue in AIG next year. He has made 4's every testing year so far. Besides being super smart he also has a great heart and is a good friend to others. He rarely gets in trouble at home (sometimes he can get sassy) and is a big help to Josh and I. We are both very proud of Isaac!

Boo boo

This was definitely my fault. We are at the park and he went to the curb, I really thought he would just step off but he face planted on the cement. It looked horrible but in a few days he was back to normal.

Sweet smiles

My baby is 14 months old... where is time going? All the sippy cups were dirty so I let him use Isaac's water bottle. After he drank half the milk he decided he would turn it upside down and watch the milk pour on his belly "beddie" as he says. Needless to say, I pushed the cap down.

Car wrecks

I hit a wreck in front of me last month and then last week Josh had a bad wreck on the way to work. He was on I-40 going around 65 mph and hit the car in front of him. He went up under the truck and the entire front of his car was smashed.. even his airbag deployed. I am very thankful he wasn't hurt.. .there are not many interstate wrecks that you walk away from. He was sore for a few days but other than that he was ok. I am sure our insurance is going to cancel our policy. We both had hail damage from the last storm... 600 for me and 2200 for Josh and now 2 wrecks! Eeek~!

Good Morning Girls

A few of my really close friends and I are starting a summer Bible study/book club. We are going to be reading, "The Ministry of Mothers" and following the outline and S.O.A.P. format on the Good Morning Girls website. Here is the link to the website: http://www.goodmorninggirls.org/

I really think I will like the S.O.A.P. format..

What is the S.O.A.P method? The S.O.A.P. Method stands for:

1. S- Write out the scripture passage for the day. (I have a shiny new notebook where I will be writing out the verse/s of the day.)
2. O- Write down 1 or 2 observations from the passage. (After I write out the verse, I will write what I learned from the verse.)

3. A- Write down 1-2 applications from the passage. (Then I will write out how this verse applies to me if it is applicable.)

4. P- Pray over what you learned from today’s passage. (Then I will pray this verse over myself and my family.)

I think I like it because as a SLP we use a SOAP format when writing therapy notes.... even though the acronyms stand for different things!

Life is such a whirl wind I definitely think I need accountability to get through this study!
