Walking Group

The walking group will start every Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 6am and every Tuesday, Thursday at 7:15am. Meet at the flagpole in the cemetery.

WARNING...

just a warning to those who are planning on the pool play this week. it is free swim day for city days... which means that many of us are not brave enough to join the CROWD at the pool. i am one of the cowards that will not be there. if you go, GOOD LUCK! and i hope to see many of you next week!!!

Planning for Super Saturday...

(obviously this woman has never planned a super Saturday....)

Alright Ladies, the enrichment committee has started thinking about super Saturday. We have an awesome lady coming to talk to us about our food storage. She has a million ideas on how to store it, how to use it, and how to keep track of what you have and what you need. You can check out her blog if you'd like. She's been featured on Good Things Utah multiple times and you may want to stop by her booth during our city days next week. Her name is Shandra, and I can't wait to hear all that she has to share.
We would really like any ideas of things YOU would like to do. Have you seen anything lately that popped out at you and said "I would be an awesome Super Saturday idea?". Is there anything you are dieing to learn? If "YES", please leave a comment here or talk to Julie Crump, Haley Murdoch, or Michelle Wright.

Enrichment Blog Update

Okay gals, I'm going to try to keep up on the blog. I promise I will update at least once a month. I've tried to make it really simple to keep up on what's going on. On the right hand side of the page you will find different lists. One is Enrichment Nights coming up, one is Focus Groups, and one is our Favorite Links (leave a comment if you think one should be added to this list). If you continue to scroll down you'll find a tutorial on how to leave a comment, and below that is a list of our blog followers. If you aren't a follower I would suggest you join. It should email you every time we update the blog so you can always know what's going on. Please feel free to leave a comment on suggestions for the blog, enrichment nights, or focus groups. We are always looking for feedback. Thanks Girls!!!

Pantry Secrets

August 4th we have the opportunity to join the 5th ward for their enrichment. They have invited Pantry Secrets to teach us how to make a universal dough used for bread, pizza crusts, rolls, etc. It is a great and EASY recipe that takes under an hour from start to finish. I hope you can join us. You can visit their website by clicking on the name.

Book and Activity Ideas for Children

This is a great way to solve the never ending question... "what are we doing today?"

Step #1- pick a children's book, one you think your child would like
Step #2- pre-read the book
Step #3- is there a message in the book you'd like to emphasize? is there something in the book that stands out?
Step #4- find a craft or activity that goes along with the book (make sure it's age appropriate for your children)
Step #5(opt)- think of a treat that would work with the book, craft, or activity
Step #6- bring the book, your ideas, and your favorite chocolate to share with some of the other sisters on July 15th @ 7pm in the church (Relief Society room).

For those who are lost... here is an Example:

Activity: Let your little one's dress up like they are going to a dance (my little girl picked her tutu and tap shoes, my little boy put on his church tie and cowboy boots). Let them listen to different kinds of music (classic, country, r&r, oldies, jazz, fast and slow) and dance with them. Nothing is funnier to my kids than to watch their mom TRY to keep the beat.

Snack: Rice Crispy Treats (cause they snap, crackle, and pop), music shaped sugar cookies, or mini-make-it-yourself-pizzas (cause everyone is different just like the pizza toppings we like).

Don't over think this. Any children's book that your kids likes will work. If all else fails there are lots of ideas on the web.

JULY 15TH @ 7PM - MEET IN THE RS ROOM

Friday's Pool Play

Starting this Friday we will be having Pool Play at the Rec Center with our kids (or w/o if you prefer). We plan on meeting @ 1:30 out by the pool. We would love to see as many of the sisters and their kids or grand kids as possible. If you don't have a pool pass ask for Michaun at the front desk. She is willing to give us the group discount on the day passes. Hope to see many of you there!
FRIDAYS @ 1:30 -MEET @ THE REC CENTER

Tuesday Mornings in the Park

Hey ladies, we had our first Tuesday morning in the park and we missed so many of you!!! Thanks to all those that did come. I know my kids loved having someone they knew to play with... and it's always nice to have a conversation and not have to answer "why?" a million times. We got started a little late, so if you do come, and nobody is there yet, wait for a little bit. We are bound to show up sometime.
MARTIN PARK, TUESDAY MORNINGS @ 9:30 - WHENEVER
