MOPS

I love my MOPS group.  In case you don't know MOPS stands for Mothers Of  PreSchoolers, more than likely there is one in your city or town.  It is such a great place to connect with other women that are going through the same crazy and hazy stage of life you are.  I really feel at home with these women because they just meet me where I am at and are always ready to laugh, cry or pray with me.  It is such an encouraging group and I appreciate the friendships I have made through MOPS!  When I was a new mom in a new town, these women ministered to me big time..they visited me, supported me and made my family meals.  We barely new each other, but they loved on me like we had been friends forever. 

Last night was the annual Valentines Dinner, it was a great time.  I got to wear lipstick, earrings  and clothes without spit up stains...that is rare these days.  The speakers, once again, were the Pritchards and they always have a way of reminding us that you can't be great parents until you are a great couple, a strong marriage is going to be the foundation for your family.  I can't ever hear that enough,  I am thankful for this couple and their mission to help build stronger marriages which will make better families.



This is one of my Yakima besties, Cortney...our oldest kids are a month apart and she has another on the way.  I first met Cortney when she brought me a meal after Olivia was born and when she left my house, I knew we were going to be great friends. I love when you have that instant chemistry with someone, Cortney and I just get each other and she has been such a faithful friend to me!



My friend Andrea..she is way cool.  Check out her blog if you get a chance.  This girl can write!  Oh and she's having a baby too...are you noticing a trend here?  hmmm what is in the Yakima water?



Dar..my mentor mom this year, she rocks!


This is Brenda.  We led a table together last year and really connected.  She is such an encourager and lives her faith out.  I love how real she is, oh we could talk for hours!


I love these girls!

Jenny, what is the link to the Pritchards ministry again? I remember last year you posted there was a book I wanted to get from them about public school and I never ordered it.
