Modest Fashion Shoot!

We had a MODEST FASHION SHOOT for mutual! We had some sisters from the ward come and do make up and hair. The girls brought a MODEST casual and church outfit. The Sister Robinson took professional pictures of them. They all looked so beautiful in their modest outfits! And we hope that they always remember their body is a temple and they should dress modestly. Thanks to the parents who keep their standards high for their daughters and making sure they dress Modestly!!!

Service : Sewing

Sister Grossmon had an activity to make dresses for children in other countries. The girls learned how to sew while doing service!

Gotta show off the AWESOME purses that Sister Gunnell and Sister McDowell made!

Luau

For joint mutual this month we had a luau.  Everyone got their own polynesian name and got dressed up.  We had a best dressed contest and Evan Harris won.  Way to go to our newest deacon!  Then Maddie and Kiki Morris performed a hula type dance and then they taught everyone a little dance called pearly shells.  Then we had a relay race.  First all six people on each team had to tie their feet together and make a long human chain.  Then they had to weave in and out of chairs to get to a big pile of luau clothes and accessories which they had to put on.  Then they got to a table with bowls of pineapple which each person had to eat without using any hands (you'll see in the pictures some of them cheated- you know who you are).  Finally, they had to make a human pyramid and get their picture taken.

After the relay race we did the limbo and then enjoyed some refreshments including Poni po po (I have no idea how to spell that right) that Vi Fardig made for us.  Sooo delicious- Thank you so much Vi.  It was a fun night.  Thanks to everyone who helped, especially my sweetie Mia Maids and my wonderful husband who cleaned up all the pineapple mess.  Here are some of the pictures I took, hopefully anyone else who brought a camera will have some more to add.

Human pyramid.  Three of the teams were really close at the end.  I don't think this team ended up winning, but it was the only one I got a picture of.  Hopefully the other team pictures will get posted.  They still great trying.

What goofy leaders you guys have! 

(And we wouldn't want it any other way)

Emily turns 15!!

Emily turned 15 and we celebrated by throwing her a princess party. We played NINJA and had a blast with that. Then we played Curses. Emily had to tell everyone she constantly loved them. Poor Maddi had to make animal noises, Sara had to hold on to her card the whole time while Tori couldn't laugh with out stopping and saying "that's not funny" Brother Strong jumped in and joined the fun. These GIRLS are HILARIOUS!!! Happy Birthday Emily!!!!

P Party Pics

At our "P" party Sister Gunnell had a contest to see who could get the most points by wearing something that started with a P, bringing something that started with a P and Allisson went all out!!

"P" Party

For mutual this week we had a "P" party.  We worked on personal progress, dressed in pink and purple and ate lots of junk food starting with a "P".  We made an integrity block, challenged each other with Faith Factor and played some fun games.  One group favorite was curses.  I will never forget how hard I laughed when Sis. McDowell was a french speaking vampire that constantly had to dance with her hands and "pity the fool", Sis. Gunnell couldn't use any fingers, her arms got stuck to her chest and she had to repeat every last word (that is very interesting isn't it Katie) and Sis. Nay bowed and howled while protecting her lucky charms.  We all just gained a lot of inside jokes, if you don't get them then you will just have to make sure you come next time.  I had a blast, thanks for coming girls.
