ward party February 2011

We had a blast last night at our ward party. Because there is now no activities committee, the first party fell in the lap of the young women leaders. So, with my board, we planned an adult's only dinner/dancing party. The theme was "Don't tell my heart my achy-breaky heart" (western theme). We have the corbridge's in our ward who dj and they were superb! Justin was a great sport and danced the night away with me! We have never danced together, and it was so fun for us!Another person in the ward drew this backdrop for pictures for each person/couple. I loved that!

We love how the centerpieces turned out! Flowers in boots! One person turned to her husband and said, "i bet you'd have never guessed flowers would be in your $300 boots!" She was right and it was adorable.

Here we are doing YMCA. Lots of fun, Lots of work and lots of fun people!

New Beginnings 2011

Let Personal Progress COLOR your world!

Last night was new beginnings. We had a great time and the decor turned out so cute! We did the crayon burst (previous blog) balls for the centerpiece, and lights strung across the ceiling. We introduced the personal progress program online and the leaders sang a great song one of my counselor's wrote to the tune of whitney houston's greatest love of all. We pulled it off!!! We then had the parents/girls break off and go over their personal progress goals for the year so they will plan on a project to display in November. NO MORE EXCUSES! :) Then, for dessert we had individual cakes with frosting and then a variety of toppings in all the value colors.

Thank you to all my amazing leaders for your support and help!

Stake Party

We went to our stake party last weekend, and got these fun shots of Evie in the bouncer. I think this was her first time in a bouncer...she had a ball and giggled and giggled.

Here we are waiting for our cotton candy! YUM!

ward party 2010

We had a chili cookoff at the ward party last night. It was a lot of fun! It was stormy and windy for some of the time, and perfectly sunny at other times. Perfect night for a chili cookoff. The rainbow was the highlight!


They had a candy cannon for the kids, and this is Evelyn waiting in the rain. She didn't know what she was waiting for, she just wanted to be around al the kids running around!

Right before the cannon blew! Once all the candy came flying out, I couldn't take a picture because Evie was in my arms from the big bang of the cannon!

Here are the kids running to gather candy. What a fun night!
