May: PJ Party!!!

What better way to end the MOPS year than by having a PJ party!  Everyone came dressed in their comfy jammies to enjoy a fun filled day of food, fellowship and friends.  As always we started off eating our yummy food brought in by our ladies.  As we ate we enjoyed a slideshow of pictures of what our children had done in MOPPETS over the past year.

Next, Jennifer lead us in a game of, "Stand up if you...".  For example, the ladies were asked to stand  if they had lived in 5 or more states, had been in labor for more 24 hrs, etc.  The last lady standing for each question won a prize.

Some of the ladies and their prizes

To burn off all of the delicious food we just ate, Andrea lead us in a Scavenger Hunt.  With clues in hand, each table headed out around the church campus to find more clues which lead them to a baby doll needing a clean diaper.  The first table to finish won prizes.  It was a great cardio workout and so much fun!

After all the excitement, we all settled down for pop corn and a movie.  Nicole Johnson's "Case of the Missing Mind" hit close to home for us moms who often feel like we have lost our minds as we strive to get through each day.

We ended the meeting with discussion questions and testimonies from the room.  We were all touched by those who stood up to speak on how this year of MOPS has impacted their lives.

It truly has been an awesome year of MOPS.  Watch for e-mail updates over they summer with all of the details for our new year that starts in August.  Have a great summer!!!

April: Expert Panel

Have I mentioned lately how awesome our MOPS are?  Well if I haven't said it before then I will say it now.  Our ladies are wonderful!!!  Check out all of the donations our ladies brought in for the people of Rainsville, Alabama after the devastating  tornadoes.

Our meeting started out a little differently than normal, but our ladies pitched in where needed and made it happen.  Once we were settled into our new location we began the meeting starting with a prayer and eating all of the delicious food that was brought in.

The tastiest treat was awarded to Emily Valencia, who brought in yummy surprise cupcakes.  While eating, we enjoyed a quick game of "You know you' re a MOPS mom when..." and then welcomed the our Expert Panel.

As always, many wonderful questions were asked and answered by our expert Family Practice Physician, Speech Therapist, Counselor, and Nutritionist.  So many times at our appointments with doctors there is just not enough time to get all of our questions answered.  Having the Expert Panel provides the time to get the answers we need.  We are so thankful that they took time out of their busy schedule to come speak to our group.


Next month's meeting will be May 20th and our final for the year.  Don't forget to wear your PJs and get ready for some fun!!!!  Early registration for MOPS 2011-2012 open now.
