SUPER SATURDAY

SIMPLIFIED....

I was the Enrichment Leader in our last ward and it was such a fun calling. I worked with some amazing women who were talented, motivated and super fun!!

It seems like most wards and stakes are no longer doing Super Saturdays, but as women we still have a NEED to create... so as a committee we came up with an idea for an activity to allow us the opportunity to both SERVE and CREATE in one activity.

The 2 months prior to the activity we gathered donations from the ward to help fill Humanitarian Kits to be donated to the church. We had enough supplies to complete 25 Hygiene Kits and 25 School kits.

So as the sisters arrived at the activity, they helped put kits together...We also put together personal heaters
Then we talked about emergency plans...

Then it was time to CREATE...
Our main craft was Family Home Evening magnet boards.
This is where our idea came from.

These are the board kits all ready to go!

We also made interchangeable watch bands...
Gordon's niece helped me and we came up with a few different options.
Also {$5}
Watch Faces were sold separately...

We sold about 200 kits!!

A couple of the girls in the committee are experienced with Photoshop and one of them made a template for Family Proclomations.
So we had a table set-up with computers for people to create their own proclamation.

We had such a great turnout!!
I am FOREVER grateful to all of the sisters on the committee and everyone that helped to make this activity a success.

The BUMP and NO sugar bugs...

Last week I came home to this...

Tydon had tripped and fell and hit the door jam...

It immediately swelled up...

The next day, the swelling had gone down and
over the next couple days the "sweet" bruise showed up

He still has a small scrape, but the bruise is finally almost gone

{So glad he didn't end up with stitches}

**************************************************************

Today we went in for Tydon's FIRST official DENTIST appointment.
He was sooo good!
We prepped him most of the week by talking about what they would do.
He held so still for x-rays
Didn't mind the scrubbing...
flossing... no big deal ;)
Dentist said everything looks great!
Yahoo!!
NO SUGAR BUGS ;)
Best part... Buzz Light Year toothbrush!
Sweet!!

What to do on a Saturday morning...

One of my {BEST} friends just had a baby.

And what does every little baby NEED?!
A QUILT :)

First you find some fabric
Cut it up...
Sew it together...
Ta-Da!!
FOR BABY LONDON!!
{I can't wait to meet her in person}
Congrats Kate and Germ!!

What we've been up to...

I'll be the first to admit that I've been a blog slacker lately...

It's been kinda crazy around here!
Here are a few highlights...

St Patrick's Day party with our friends from West Jordan
I went to watch some of the girls I use to coach at their cheer comp in SLC
{I got emotional just being there... hearing the music, seeing the teams perform, I miss it!!}

We visited Jump On It for the first time with some friends and Tydon LOVED it!!
*************************
Gordon was commuting back to West Valley so we were thinking we would probably move back up that way... instead he got put on the Pioneer Crossing project here in Lehi so we get to stay!
So... we've moved again!
You'll find us just around back... we are in the basement.
We love the area and the neighbors and are excited to make some new friends ;)


Sold a few things...

I've decided we don't have to worry about Spring Cleaning because we move so much!
We moved in the Friday before Easter...

Tydon was SUPER excited this year
All he wants to do is ride his {motorcycle} bike.
What's Easter without new church clothes...
I was excited to get a new camera...
My other one was pretty wore out :)
General Conference was great, as usual.
I love being reminded of the SIMPLE things and what is truly important {FAMILY}
I've loved teaching aerobics!!
I completed a Hip Hop Certification a couple weeks ago.
Our instructor was amazing :) So much Fun!
{we danced for 5 hours that day! I was wore our}
Hopefully I can get back on track now that we are mostly settled.
More to come... after our {old} ward's Simple Saturday.
