Bear Lake Trip

Summer fun in Bear Lake!

  I have booked 8 spots at a campsite in Idaho just 2 minutes away from the North Beach on Bear Lake.  I would like to invite any and all to come and camp with us. 

2 spots are already reserved (us and Brinks) so we have 6 spots left for anybody that wants to come!  

The date is Friday, August 19th.  I got the last 4 spots at the campsite (it fills up fast) and they said we can double up on them (though it will probably be crowded).  

The cost is $15 per tent and needs to be paid to me by May 31st.  

Please let me know if you want to camp with us.  

Also, if some families dont want to camp we would love for you to drive up for the day if you want.  Its about a 2.5 hr. drive, but so worth it!  It really is a blast at Bear Lake!  

So, I just need to know for sure who wants to camp and get the money by the end of the month.  Let me know if you want to just come up for the day (just cuz I want to know) and then I will let you all know details when it gets closer!

Thanks,  Aubrey

Work It Baby!

Were you one of the millions who set a New Year's Resolution this year to lose weight? or stay in shape? or just be healthier? If so, I have the thing for you!

No, this is not an infommercial!

Starting Monday, January 24th we are going to have an exercise club at the church.

When: every Monday, Wednesday, & Friday
Time: 9:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m.
Where: church gymnasium
What: We are going to start exercising together!

We will have an exercise video to exercise to (sorry! I am not an aerobics instructor).

We will gather at 9:00 and then sweat it out together starting at about 9:10.

Kids: You can bring your kids and maybe a couple of toys for them to play with and we will just let them run around the gym with us. If we have enough interest & the need then we might start a babysitting schedule where we will take turns babysitting in the nursery.

Bring: water bottle and a floor mat or maybe a large towel to lie down on for floor exercises, any exercise DVDs you might have, dumbells if you want (I use 5 lb.)

Questions: leave a comment, email me (aubandjohn@yahoo.com) or call/text me: 801-870-1330

I hope you all can make it!

After our last book club we all learned that there is a movie based off of the book. Kelly has the movie and really enjoys it.

So, we all thought it would be fun to get together for a Friday night movie!

Book Club!

Book Club is coming up! Has anybody taken the test? Read a book? Hopefully you'll still come even if your answers are no, but the books are still being passed around as we speak so maybe you can get your mitts on one soon!

Please spread the word and invite everybody!

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!
Jeannie

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!

A Successful Playgroup

Playgroup is over and I will have to say that it was a great success! So many people came, many of which are not the regulars to playgroup! I was so glad to have so many fun ladies to visit with and my boys were so glad to have so many kiddos! Thanks for coming! Hope to see you tomorrow night!
