Stake Activity Day

Today was the Stake Primary Activity day for the girls ages 8 to 11. It is one of our biggest events (in the Stake Primary) that we do each year. Our theme was The Gospel Standards. We had the girls play relay games, Concentration, do a craft (making a modile), and have a dance off all with the Gospel Standards as the basis for each activity.

One of three relay games the girls played outside. They got a little wet.

Allison Thompson teaching them some fun dance moves. Don't forget to watch the video below.




Melody Shipley inspired me to post this so quickly. See her blog for a picture of the craft that the girls completed..

I'm back at least for today!

I realize that I am not much of a blogger. It has been weeks and weeks since I last signed on to update our blog. I found a new background and had Melena (our inhouse blog master) update it for me. I really enjoy reading people's blog who know how to write and I envy their abilities to turn a phrase into something captivating. Our lives at Garrret house has taken a completely different turn. Kyle was laid off about a month ago and he has been earnestly searching for a new job. Our hope was to find employment here in central Florida. But that seems that it might not be the case. Most of the jobs he is qualified for are everywhere except for Florida. To make matters worse it appears that we may even have to move to a state that has 4 seasons. I am much more partial to Florida's climate and its lack of snow. We looked into buying a business but last weeks stock market makes that idea a little to scary with out haveing a back up income. Now we are just hoping and praying for a job - anywhere!
