Bear Lake trip! Who's in?

Last year we drove down to Bear Lake with my family. The Crandall's and the Brinkerhoff's joined us! It was a blast! Everybody had so so so much fun! Bear Lake is perfect for kids of all ages. The beach is great for digging and building and the lake is so gradual you can walk forever and the water still doesn't get too deep!

We are going back again this August with my family (parents, sister & her 3 kids). We would love for anyone to join us and hope lots of you come!

We are going on Saturday, August 7th! We are hoping to go the day before for a little camping get-away, but not sure if anythings available. If not we will just drive up Saturday morning. We take a canopy, beach toys, a shovel (a must for digging holes to play in), a lunch, and the usual summer beach items. It's pretty casual and a LOT of fun! My kids have been begging to go back!

Let me know if you are interested!

Correct Info...

Hey ladies! I realized that I gave Aubrey the wrong internet address. I had my family all take the test last night. It was pretty fun. Anyways try this site instead http://similarminds.com/test.html
If this gives you problems please call me. You are looking for the Enneagram test. It's only 45 questions. When you are done write down your scores for the 9 types. Normally your dominant personality is the highest one, but I must admit this test is not the most valid and reliable test for it. The ones in the book are better, so if you feel it wasn't a good indicator for you I'll get you the 140 question test.

I have two copies of the book available right now. Please call if you want them. I have 3 others that are still on hold, but hopefully they will come in soon. I hope it's fun for everyone!

August Book Club!

Okay, so I finally remembered to update this about the new subject we are reading about!

We are going to read about and study our personalities. The first thing we each need to do is take a personality 'test'. Jeannie has about 5 books that each have these tests or you can take one online at this website: similarminds.com/global5.html

Once you have determined which personality type you are you can read about it and study yourself so that you can improve your parenting skills, social skills, etc. Then it will be fun to talk about it at bookclub to see what personalities we all are and how we best interact, etc.

The name of the book that I have is: Know Your Parenting Personality by Janet Levine. Talk to Jeannie if you want to borrow one of hers. I will also pass this one around!

The bookclub will be at Kelly's house with Jeannie conducting the discussion!
