Enjoy the Last Few Breaths of Summer!

You'll notice that most of this month is dedicated to family time, which is exactly as it should be.

If you'd like to lap up an easy read to get ready for our next Book Group in September, please contact Sarah d'Evegnee. These is My Words is an easy, breezy, fun read, but it's also something you can sink your emotional teeth into!

Get to Know Krista Flamm!

Krista Flamm just moved into our ward with her husband, Jacob, and their two kids, Kaylie and Aaron. If she has a familiar look about her, it's because she is the grand-daughter of the Fluckigers. In fact, the Flamm family is living in the Fluckiger's house while they are on their mission.

Krista has a kaleidoscope of talents and they just keep coming! Just to give you the tip of the iceberg, she plays the piano and the violin and enjoys sewing and making hair-bows. Krista just opened up an etsy shop selling some wonderfully cute and useful items.

She invented the Bed Bugg, which is a cover for microwaveable heating pads called rice packs for kids. (Her shop address is www.bedbuggs.etsy.com if you want to take a peek!)

Krista is bright and fun and loves getting to know new people. We are so happy she is in our ward! WELCOME, KRISTA!!!

We Got Some SPRING in Our Step at Kid-Richment!

Kid-Richment is a time for Moms, Grandmas, Aunts, Sisters, Babysitters or ANYONE else who wants to come to bring kids to the gym and to RUN, L AUGH, PLAY, and get to know each other! It's also supposed to be a BREAK from the regular routine! We always plan games, crafts, and a potluck lunch! We'd love to see you next time!


The small (but VERY cute) group that came to March's Kid-Richment enjoyed a thrilling indoor romp through all things SPRING! We came in from the drizzly outdoors and felt a little sunshine as we watched the kids RUN FREE without coats! (To watch the video clips just click on the arrow in the left hand bottom corner of the movie box.)

We made Edible Easter Birds' Nests:

To make these at home, you just need:

Shortcakes

Whipped Cream

Jelly Beans

Peeps

Coconut colored green with food coloring (which you don't see here because Marie ate it all!)

BALLOON RACES! (I've never seen anyone run with so little space between their chubby feet and the ground!)
