Nothing out of the ordinary for us.
Started walking two weeks ago, gained 3 lbs. We went swimming with Friends Wed and Thurs this week, had so much fun! Cayden is going to camp and Tre` is going to mom's. Ethan and Jadyn are mad cause they aren't going anywhere! Gary's working and loving Honda so far! Still don't know what I am doing for school, which starts August 15th here. Love the new Wal-mart!!!! IT's SOOOOO CLEAN! Connersville has always had that dirty little wal-mart with minimal merchandise, I hated it, so I am thrilled with the new one! uhmmm other than that nothing else is happening here. I am thankful for the Summer though! NO matter how hot it gets it's still better than Winter!!! I guess if your reading my blog your thinking, Why does she even have a blog when she could post all this as her boring status updates on FB?! Answer is I just like to blog, sometimes it's out of boredom, sometimes a way to express thoughts I would otherwise never say ;) and sometimes it is just FUN! I keep hoping I will be offered a job rating restaurants, public bathrooms,Products, grocery stores, etc. but so far no job offers for me ;) SO I guess I will just have to be happy giving my humble opinion! Enjoy your weekend!

Every Broken Piece.....
Last week was one of "those" weeks, I can't explain why it was, sometimes we just go through things that can't be explained. I was listening to the radio while driving and a song came on about God's love. It was "You Love Me Anyway" by Sidewalk Prophets http://youtu.be/y8BBCYFAYRI
In case you want to listen ;)
I was crying while driving and listening to this song and still I was arguing within myself, and told the Lord, "But, I am so broken, how can you love me?!"
I immediately felt the Lord answer me, with " I love every broken piece of you"
I am nothing, but He loves me.
He loves me
Every little broken piece of me, He loves
Every imperfect part of my perfectionist heart
He loves, He loves me.

Happy Birthday....agian!
Summer is always full of extra calories for the Isaacs household! I mean 3 Birthdays within 4 weeks?!! Jadyn had an Oreo Ice Cream cake, ( I would rate it a C) Tre` chose a Cookie Cake from the Great American Cookie Company (of course it's good), and Cayden always wants a chocolate cake with the "Cold Gravy Icing"
You can guess what I am doing today. I didn't have a cake mix so I had to make a Chocolate Cake from scratch. It's been so long since I have had to make a cake like that, I forget what it taste like......guess I need to at least sample it.
All joking aside it's hard to think of Tre` without Cayden being included. It just seems like they came as a set! Today is the last day of this year that they will both be the same age. I have two 12yr olds. One is in a size Med in Areopostle the other an X-Small, one is wearing size 12 in mens shoes, the other a size 5 in kids, one weighs 130lbs or maybe more and the other weighs 80lbs if that......it's kinda comical to think they are both the same age, but if you know me, it's amusing.
It seems they grew overnight. Yes I am hating it. I am glad for healthy normal kids don't get me wrong, I thank God every night for them, but how did they get to be a pre-teen and a TEENAGER so fast?! I love them. They are both very good boys. Both work hard to help out at home, both obedient, both tender hearted, both saved, both momma's boys but each in their own way. Tre` is more quiet but yet he is the more immature of the two, Cayden will talk your leg off about chickens but when it comes to himself it's silence. Both are good brothers to their siblings. Pests. ( I mean hello they have the Isaacs blood they are going to be pests! Cayden is worse though!!!) The other day we were driving and something came up, I can't remember what but I started in on my "talk" and Tre` says "Oh Mom! Please! We just had this "talk" the other day! Not Agian!" So somehow.......Cayden turns 13 tomorrow, and Tre 12 two weeks ago. I am so thankful for my two boys, and I can't imagine my life without them. Happy Birthday boys, I love you, and I am so proud of you both!

:) just me....
Jadyn is back home! I am not sure she missed us near as much as we missed her. As a matter of fact I think she would have went right back home with Mamaw & Papaw! So now they are all home and things are back to normal. I love my normal, it's kinda boring at times but whos complaining!
JUST so you all know, I went to the grocery in Shelbyville yesterday! ;) hahahaha! it was SO clean, I didn't have any OCD-ish flipping out either, no flies in the food, no nasty restrooms.....just a nice clean super center Walmart!
okay that's all I got today! Oh! Wait! I did make my own laundry detergent yesterday. I made 10 gallons for $5. and have plenty of ingredients for the next 10 batches of 10 gal! So I am going from $20+ a week to just pennies.....so far so good ;)

The rest of my vacation posting....
I meant to post this the day I did the Camp Golan post but everything went crazy for a while.....
So on my "vacation" I stayed at Sarah and Seth's house. I was pretty excited because I hadn't seen Taylor in 9 months. Not to mention S & S. Seth ended up having to stay in TN to work, and Taylor didn't know me. She wouldn't have much to do with me and I didn't want to push her but she LOVED Jadyn, Ethan, Cayden & Tre`. And they loved her! On Wednesday night during church I was surprised by Seth coming in! I have to admit I was sitting there tearing up thinking he drove all that way to see me ;) And Taylor's face when she seen her daddy was priceless! I seen Seth for about 2 hrs, between food, church, & people, but it was nice to know he drove (well JUSTIN INGRAM drove him, thanks Jud) 3 hrs there and then back again that night, just to spend 2 hrs with me. Most people I know, wouldn't drive all that way just to see me! haha! I love my little brother! ;)
And I love his sweet wife and baby girl, the only problem is that I don't see them near enough!
I was thinking the other day I am really blessed to have so many great SILS, they are some of my best friends!
Okay enough sappy-ness...... ;)

Ethan
So the small problem of last evening has turned into something quite different! Ethan's pain he said was in his side was actually in his hip area. He was up most of the night in pain, and just kept getting worse till this morning it was so bad he can't stand, can't move the left leg without screaming. We took him to our Dr. who is in Dayton. Poor little guy he would fall asleep and be woken by his leg being moved at a curve, a bump or a hill which resulted in him screaming. After an exam and X-ray's there are no broken bones but he has Synovitis of the Hip.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovitis
It is something that will pass on it's own but is very painful according to Dr. Avery. He described it as being an inflammation in his hip joints, we are to give him Ibuprofen, 2 tsp, every 6 hrs. As long as he doesn't move, at all, he is not in bad pain but for him to do something as simple as going to potty is pretty painful. He has no bruising, no swelling no outward sign of anything wrong which was pretty scary for me last night, I had no sleep and you know how when it comes to your kids you always imagine the worst. I was thinking he had something awful, I know this is painful but, let me tell you, I am so thankful it wasn't worse!
I probably won't be on here much, Ethan is hard to take care of when he is sick so I can't imagine me getting a lot of time during this, with him being in pain. Last night he was crying, " Oh GOD! HELP ME!" and telling me, "I don't want to die" I know that sounds dramatic to some but to him, he was scared & hurting so bad, and to me, I was scared because I just had no idea what was going on! I am just thankful to our family who prayed this morning for him, I really appreciate it, and to those of you reading this, if you want to say a prayer for him it would be greatly appreciated. The Dc said it will take probably 24hrs for any improvement at all.
Isn't Life just amazing, I mean, I know I needed God in so many ways yesterday morning, but I didn't know I would need Him for yet another Role in my Life! It seems for every day I live, there is another reason I need Him. I'm just thankful He is near, even at 3am!

Ethanisims
I was in the shower tonight when Gary rushes Ethan in to use the bathroom. Ethan is sitting there moaning and saying how bad his side hurt so I was trying to be sympathetic and come up with a reason why for him.
I said "Have you "pottied" today?"
Ethan, moaning, "Yes!"
Me, " Well maybe you need to potty again because you haven't did so since you ate supper."
Ethan through his moans and in a hateful voice said, "How about YOU hurt all day and hurt all night?!"

Camp Golan
Lori called me the weekend before our outdoor Camp Meeting to ask me f I wanted to go to Camp Golan. It is in Va. where mom and dad had just moved from, 2 weeks before we got there! Ironic. So we left Tues morning, and got home Friday evening. I think the kids enjoyed it, and it is a nice camp to go to for kids of all ages, they have special activities for the children under 10, while those over 10 get the youth camp experience. Chris & Heather Crisp were there so we had a lot of fun sitting and making fun of each other ;) Cris reads my blog and thinks I should start a blog on just public bathrooms I visit.....he said "Who takes pictures of public restrooms and puts it on their blog?!" Hello.....me! I met some nice people and chatted with a lot of old friends. All in all it was a very nice time, I was hoping for more preaching from the night speaker, Douglas Meadows but, the kids were all praying.
Heather, Me, Lori
Oh! Also while I was there I fixed Jamie Rice Webb's hair. Which touches the ground, and she is several inches taller than I so here is a pic for you, you just would believe me if I didn't show you!
so that sums up our vacation to Camp Gollan. I will spare you the details of the drive you can imagine what it was like, if one was hot the other was cold, most of the griping came from my own kids though! ;)

.. Worth a 1,000 Words
