Enrichment Ideas

Help! I am the Enrichment Leader in our ward and I need your ideas on good Enrichment Activity ideas. If you have done something fun in your ward please tell me about it. I am trying to plan for the upcoming year and I am in need of some new fresh ideas. Thanks!

I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas and a Happy New Year. I would post more, but our computer is being crazy....you would think I could get that fixed because Amos is, however, a "computer boy." Yea right, I probably need to fill out a help ticket and send it to his work, maybe that would work.

Our Baby is Two!

Kellie turned two this past weekend. We celebrated by taking her to Build-a-Bear. She picked out the cutest bear with a denim dress and croc shoes (just like hers). She calls him Ba Bear (I think she is trying to say Care Bear).

She still has the cutest chubby cheeks and curly hair that we all adore!


Sadie and Paden helping her open presents from them.

This is Ba Bear and this is where she sleeps every night (of course the bear has to take off her dress and shoes before bed).

The Annual Hunt for the Griswold Family Christmas Tree

Our annual search for our 13 foot Christmas Tree was a week early this year but the search ended in a superb find none-the-less.

That is Amos in the tree he had to climb to cut down our 13 feet. He is the yellow speck.

My Helpers in the Kitchen

The kids love helping me make dinner especially when I am grinding wheat! My helpers couldn't be cuter!

Halloween Fun!

What do Belle, a Pirate, Richard Simmons, a Sweatin' to the Oldies success story, and a rocker have in common. Nothing other than our families Halloween costumes. Halloween was super fun this year. We had a big fire in our driveway, donuts and hot chocolate and million trick-or-treaters. Here are a few pics of our costumes. I have a better pic of Kellie as Richard Simmons, but it is on our old camera because our new camera was lost for a month and we finally found it right before Halloween. Yea!

Sadie as "Belle"

Paden as a Pirate

Kellie as Richard Simmons (try to imagine her without the tights and long sleeve white shirt that were added just to keep warm for trick-or-treating)

The Utah Jazz Season is Underway!

If this music doesn't get you in the Utah Jazz Mood then you are not a true fan. Listen and enjoy! Oh yea, GO JAZZ!

The Moment You Have All Been Waiting For....Drum Roll Please....

My New Haircut! I went with picture #1 because #3 was a little long and had that hard inbetween length. It is hard to see in the picture, but it is a slight a-line with side bangs. Thanks everyone for your patience! It has been a long road, but it is finally done. I am going back in a few weeks for a new color. I am going a little darker for fall and winter.

Thanks to Sadie for being the Photographer!
