A Couple Reminders and Changes.

Don't forget the Ward Super Saturday this coming saturday morning from 10:00am-noon. If you didn't sign up for one of the crafts being offered, bring your own or just come visit. Also the Mt. Vista Ward has invited us to join in thier Swap. Bring anything in your home that you don't use anymore and swap for something else's unused "treasures". This will begin at 9:00 in the Primary Room.

Ward Temple Night has been changed to the 6:00pm Session. The Bishopric is trying to find which time best serves the majority's schedule. We would love to get as many as possible to attend our session together. There will be treats served at the Bishops house following the session. Everyone is welcome for treats, whether you make the session or not:)

May Temple Group.

Last Month we had our First Temple Group. Huge success. So glad that those sisters that particpated, were able to attend the Temple together.
This month it will be on Wednesday the 26th at 8:15. If you need a babysitter, Sally Neff and Kayleen Lee will be watching kids at Sally's house. Please call her or me to let us know so we can plan on how many kids and make sure there are enough hands:)

The goal is to make it to the Temple for the 9:00 session. But remember that you don't have to go do a session. If you don't have time, do some sealings or something else. The point is just to get to the Temple.

Girl's Night

Hey ladies...anyone interested in getting together and doing a little craft? We are meeting at my house, tomorrow night {Tues. Feb. 2nd} and sewing ties. Like ties for little boys:) But, you don't have to sew if you don't want to. You can just come and visit. This is not an "Official" R.S. meeting just something fun I'm doing at my house.
If you are interested in sewing the ties, here's what you'll need...

1/4 yard of fabric {cotton works best}
matching thread
white felt
Fusible Web {Steam-A-Seam}
Velcro.

These are SUPER DUPER easy to make and look so cute:) Come any time between 6:00pm and 9:00pm
bring a treat to share if you want.
Any questions...just call or text me 376-4578

Back in Business.

Okay, so after some discussion from the Stake R.S. Presidency, we are still good to go with the blog. So, I apologize for the lack of posting. I know there are some who check the site often to stay updated, which I appreciate. I'd love to hear from everybody. You are welcome to post anything you want{as long as it positive of course}...good news, an announcement, a need for help, getting together for something. It's just meant to be a way to stay connected and get to know each other. So...here are a few goings-on...

This Tuesday at 6:30 at the Viking Chapel will be a R.S. game night. Bring friends and a treat to share.

Wednesday at 10:00 a group of mom's will be meeting at the McDonald's on Boulder Hwy. Great time to get together and get to know the other moms in the Ward.

Also, right now there is an online auction being held to help raise funds for the chemo treatments for Garth Abbott. Many of you may not know Garth, but a lot do. He is the Stake and has been a huge part of many our lives. To read more about Garth and the battle he is up against or to participate in the auction {there are over 100 GREAT items listed to bid on} go on over to www.thedailyabbot.blogspot.com Any and all contributions are GREATLY appreciated!

Hope everyone is have a wonderful start to a new year. Anyone want to share a Resolution they are working on or something else they are excited about this coming year?
Okay I'll start...:)
I am so excited to learn how to sew better. I've always wanted to be a seamstress, but would be easily frustrated by having to pick out what I'd sewn, or messing up the sewing machine so badly and having to have my mom fix it over and over. But, I'm resolved to learn more and get better. I started the year off by making some adorable little ties for my three boys. It was a pattern that said it was easy enough for ANYONE...and it really was-because well, I did it! Anyway, would love to hear from you guys:)
