Play Dough and Packing.....

So I already skipped a day..... Yesterday, I was up and out the door by 6:15 am. I believe it was good for me to start getting back into the habit of early mornings, but thank the Lord I still have a few weeks until then.

I babysat a couple kiddos yesterday. We had a busy morning which included getting ready, eating breakfast, and out the door to take one of the kiddos to VBS. The little guy and I had some fun play dough time.....

Our afternoon included some subtraction, timed multiplication test, and other math concepts!! After babysitting I drove to Chelsea, OK to see my friend Lacey's classroom. My theme this year is Western (oh and I think it is going to turn out adorable) and she had somethings she let me borrow. It was a great day, but I was ready for bed.... ;)


As I am writing this I realize how boring this most likely is to read, so I hope not too many are reading!! ha ;)


So to go along with the title "Playdough and Packing", as of tomorrow I will be BEACH BOUND!!! So today I have been busy making sure I have all may swimsuits packed...... The beach is calling my name.


My dad and sister ran by my house this morning. Aiden stayed with me while they ran a couple errands. I had a lot to do today, so I needed to get ready for the day. I am sure most moms with small babies feel like this, but I had no bumbo or swing here. So I got creative and turned my sink into a chair. ha! Don't worry he was safe, I was right in front of him!


Aiden looking precious with my Mary Kay lotion....


He started to get a little restless, but I still had a few finishing touches. So the picture below is the rigged phone, that had Baby Einstein playing. Thank God for utube and iphones!!


Bright and early I will be enroute to the south.....

Old Friends.....




I love the comfort of old friends..... I love how you can pick-up where you left off. I was privileged to have lunch with my sweet friend Bethany. I love that during summer break, I can have lunch dates in the middle of the week! Seriously only those that work full time appreciate that! ;)




Bethany is in a very exciting season of life, she is getting married this Fall. I am over the moon excited for her. She and I walked many single months together over the years, saying "maybe next Valentine's Day...." She will make an amazing wife. It was so good catching up with her.




Tonight, we had our Girl's Bible study. It was soooo good. Every week I mean to take a group picture and I always forget. I am thankful for the things God is showing me and also the things the Lord is doing in all the other girls. God is so amazing, it is a privilege to serve Him! It is an exciting journey and definitely not boring!!

Summer Love.......

I love Summertime... Yesterday marked the one month point. One month from today, I will be working in my classroom. This summer has been great so far, but I feel it slipping through my fingers. It has been full of family time, pool time with family & friends, camping, eating out, working out, meeting new friends, being a part of a great Bible study with some great girls, and many other things.

I am setting a personal goal to post a pic each day the rest of my summer break. I want to look back and remember how I spend my days. Friday, I leave for the BEACH with my family. So so excited! So I am not sure I will take the time to post, but we shall see! ;)

Today, my sister and her 2 kiddos were in town and dropped by my house! I loved their visit!
I only snapped one picture on my phone.... Aren't they the cutest? ;)


I love this scripture.....


God’s way is perfect. All the Lord’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. Psalm 18:30
