Sippy Cup Day Today!

Bry is out of town so I packed up the punkin' and headed out to vote and see what's new at bbsrus.




Jesse Gavin
picked out his
first
sippy cup!

Jesse almost 6 months...

Howdy-
long time no blog-
I busy woman now.

Jesse is sitting up! I am having so much fun with him..
so- I was trying to think of something to post about beside my angel baby, but alas, not enough brain cells today to conjure up some intelligentsiousness. yes I made that up-

maybe I'll go make a video of Jesse... you all seem to like that!
:)

Ok my real Eight Random things about myself...

1. worst one- I think I am funny (you think I am too, right?)
2. i love music- singing, playing and my favorite thing is harmony and blending... can't get enough of it.
3. i am addicted to information and learning. (google- I am forever grateful)
4. i am fascinated with vehicles...I love my car, yeah, I really get excited to go drive it- sad huh? but I really love trucks...4 door trucks, and I am almost developing an appreciation for vans (this vehicle thing started with my hot wheels collection I had when I was young)
5. i love to get mail...not junk mail or bills, cards and checks!!!
6. i love rainy days... cause Bryan usually comes home early!
7. I Love finding out more every day why God made me the way He did, and it is exciting to see His plan unfold as I seek Him in this new stage of my life...BTW, you can't figure any of it out unless you are spending time with Him & in His Word, and WITH HIS PEOPLE!!!! (ya'll!)
8. Sometimes I want to wake jesse up to play with him... cause he is SUCH a sweetie... (but I don't) ok maybe I've done it about 3 times, but i do feel guilty about it. (haven't worked through all my selfishness issues yet)

My ate random things...

:) Nursing mom style...

1. Pecan Sandies... (#1 for a reason)
2. Taco Soup & Canteloupe (Random enough?)...Anchor Group food
3. Ribeye with Corn on the Cob & Broccoli- Dinner with the folks last night
4. Frozen Coke...(on the way home from the "Dark chocolate run")
5. Chili Dog (for a quick Sunday lunch at home)
6. Bite of Mom's blueberry muffin (at Bayou Cafe)
7. Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate (my treat for the day, the "Dark Chocolate Run")
(Thanks Bryan) He spoils me...
8. John WM Macy's Cheese Crisps, Cheddar and Asiago, Double Cheese Crunchy Sourdough Squares with apple juice (from the dark chocolate run at World Market)

Bible Study- what's your "method"???

Bryan picked up this book (Rick Warren's Bible Study Methods) recently and we have decided to work through it together.... well individually, but at the same time- does that mean the same thing? not sure- anyway-
This book has about 12 different ways to study- Examples ..
Devotional, Chapter Summary, Character Quality, Thematic, Biographical, Topical, Word Study, Book Background, Book Survey. Chapter Analysis, book Synthesis, Verse by Verse...
Or your own??

What study method do you prefer?

My default is typically a word study/cross reference approach- I am excited interested in looking at things I have studied before from a new perspective...

We are starting with Psalm 19- the"Chapter summary"
Reading it 5 times through, once aloud
Giving it a title, Summarize the contents, listing the chief people included, identifying my choice verse, listing crucial words (for word study later!!)
Noting challenges, reading any cross references, identifying types of Christ seen in the passage, the central lessons, and a conclusion.

Jesse video-1

Jesse Gavin is 3 months old! time flies...

kudos to Mona for this great pic! what a cher' bebe'..you can see how happy he is after nursing every two hours last night... he is milkin' this "I got shots" thing for all its worth!

zea-

Hi people-
just thought I'd add my latest food enjoyment discovery...
Bryan and I had a date last night--- just us! we had 6 people at my parent watching the baby -so we decided to run for it!
anyway I selected....
The Tuna Nicoise (say Knee-swah) salad at Zea-
Wow- has a lemon mustard vinaigrette- I asked if I could purchase some of the dressing it was so great-
anyway- the tuna was served over potato salad- which I didnt even taste- yuck-
but the salad was FABulous!
:)
I wish Heather had been there to take pictures of my food before I ate it.
shucks.

My new life-

as Jesse's mom is great-
I still havent figured out how to add in all the other things I love- (like work, shopping, etc.)
But, my son is healthy, we are making it to church, having date nights, and keeping the bills paid.

what else is there, oh yeah, laundry and housework- havent quite figured out how to add those back in yet either.
I am working on these morning and night routines I started when I first got married-
www.flylady.net kooky, but it works for me, when I remember to do them

ok- I think I'll go make a list...

he loves his momma

ok- I decided I would rather the baby sleep in my room- he is so sweet and tiny, and will only be a baby for a little while...for one more week at least... ha

our sleeping boy

Jesse slept in his baby bed in his own room last night---thanks to the way cool video monitor daddy bought!

this momma was alot more attached to her little boy than she thought-

but he's 8 weeks old now and well son, its time you are out on your own.

new photos of our baby boy

sweet little munchkin...

Jesse Gavin Rhinehart - 3 days old!

Bailey is 2!

What a cutie! Bailey Jackson gets to meet his first cousin this month.... 16 days til my due date!

12 weeks left of my pregnancy-

So-- who is this little man going to be like? Daddy or Mommy..
Bryan said the other day... "I hope he likes us!" I told him he won't know any different, so we should be ok...

and the other big question... his name! still up in the air about that...

Ma-Ma went home this morning.

She is with her wonderful Savior.

I was blessed to work with her for 8 years-
she was a wonderful example in life and in serving the Lord.

I love her dearly
and will miss her voice
and her presence in my life
immensely.

I love you, Ma-Ma.
