Attention Shoppers

So I went to Smiths tonight and they had some great crayola stuff on sale. If you go to the end of the seasonal aisle there is a display with markers and color wonder and twistables, all that stuff that is mostly empty but somethings are there. So I went down the school supplies aisle and they were there but not marked down. But they rang up on sale. I got some markers for $1.25 and some colored pencils things for .97 so Pip Squeaks for 1.25 and some color wonder mini packets with markers and pad for $1.35. Anyways, I always love these sales because we use up our art supplies so fast!!!!

The Polls Have Spoken

Looks like our Girls Night Out will be Thursday, January 22nd. Now for the where...I wasn't sure if anyone wanted to venture out of Layton to the Salt Lake or Ogden area. So any ideas before the next poll would be great! I'll give it a couple days before I post the "where" poll. Start throwing out those ideas!
I know I'm a little late on the uptake, but I wanted to know what everyone's "Christmas Countdown" or Other Christmas Traditions were. I hear of the cutest ideas and thought about maybe incorporating some for next year! So share, share, share!!! I know we have TONS of creativity out there!

Here' what we do. It's from when I was a little girl. It's our "punch" calendar. Every night the boys take turns "punching" (very softly) out one of the numbers and then they get the treat that's inside. And for the 24th we always have treats plus a note to open one present which is of course Jammies!



2009 activity interest

So I am trying to figure out what people want to do for activities this year. I am going to post yet another vote. If you could vote for what you are interested in that would be great. Also if there are any ideas of kinds of things you would like to do for activities please comment or let me know. We want to make sure that we do activities where there is genuine interest. Since you can only vote on one thing, pick the item you have the most interest in.

Temple Open House

Here is the link to get tickets to the Draper Temple open house. We are taking the kids, we took them to Twin Falls and they thought it was neat to see what was inside. You do not have to be a member of the church to go and your kids don't have to be a certain age to go. So basically everyone can go you just have to get a ticket.

Nia class

Ok Ladies,

I teach this awesome movement class (also call exercise class) call Nia. It's a combination of Dance Arts, Martial Art, and Healing Arts (ie yoga), put to fun different music, and done barefoot. I'm hoping to get a free/donation class going to introduce others to Nia and also to help me get into better teaching shape.

What I love about Nia is I can workout for an hour and it feels like I was playing for definitely not that long. It's intended to be easy on the body (ie no jaring or rough movement on the joints). You can make it as difficult of a workout as you want (ask Nadine Washburn I taught a class for Relif Society and she thought she was going to have to go running afterword, didn't go running, and was still quite sore a couple days later!) You can also do this pregnant, I taught quite a ways through my last pregnancy, and had friend who did nia up to the day before giving birth and was back within a week, yes she is quite a super woman!

The class will be Tuesdays at 7pm. Is there any interest? If you're interested does that day and time work for you? If they don't work for you, what day and time would work better? I also will be teaching Nia at the Clearfield Aquatic Center starting January 8 at 10am. That class will cost $40 for an 8 week class for Clearfield residents ($45 for non-residents).

Chech out Nia at the official Nia website http://www.nianow.com/
