Tin Pails

2012-02-07T13:39:00.000-08:00

I am looking for tin pails to put peanuts in for our Scout Blue and Gold Banquet. I want it to look like the pails at Texas Roadhouse. :) If you have any you wouldn't mind me borrowing for the evening of Feb. 15th, let me know! Thanks, Hollie 801-358-7510

Free Closet Doors

2012-01-23T13:17:00.000-08:00

I replaced some sliding closet doors in one of my kids rooms. If anyone wants them, you can come get them. There is nothing wrong with them, I just wanted french style doors instead of sliding ones. They are white, two panel doors. Call me if you want them. 766-5180

Digital Keyboard - Free to a Good Home

2011-12-01T15:44:00.001-08:00

I have a full sized digital keyboard that I would love to give to someone in need. It is a Kawai and is about 15 years old. It is in great condition for it's age and only has one key (high c) that does not play. I have used it regularly for the last 14 years and I am only getting rid of it because I have recently purchased a regular piano. It would be a great option for a beginner or someone who doesn't want to spend a lot of money on a piano right now. As mentioned, it is full sized, has 2 pedals, multiple sound options (piano, organ, strings, brass, harpsichord, etc.) and comes with a bench. Please let me know if you are interested or know of someone who could use it. Thanks! Elaina Poulsen ph# 801-331-8871 or e-mail: elainapoulsen@yahoo.com

Found Cat

2011-11-11T15:15:00.000-08:00

We have had a gray cat lingering around our house for a couple of days. It is gray with black stripes across it's back and has a white belly. We don't want a cat so I'm not encouraging it by feeding it. Please come get it if it's yours or even if you'd like to have a cat. It seems friendly enough; I just don't get along well with cats!

Propositions 4 & 5

2011-11-01T21:10:00.001-07:00

Make sure before you vote on November 8th that you read the Voter Information Pamphlet we received in the mail outlining the pros and cons of Proposition 4 and 5. I would personally hate to see these both pass. My opinion is that the sponsors of these propositions seem to have their own agenda. If passed they would severely hinder Lehi City's ability to become a progressive city, open up the possibility of costly lawsuits and make it difficult for Lehi to attract high-quality employees. If these propositions are not read completely, many will have the tendency to agree and vote yes. Our city is growing and needs progressive leaders -- we ain't pioneers and the "good ole boys" mentality just won't work any longer. Vote NO for Proposition 4 & 5. Now I will get down off my political soap box.

Cub Scout Uniform?

2011-10-28T23:40:00.001-07:00

Just wondering if anyone has an extra cub scout uniform laying around that they would like to donate to the Holland family? My Nick left his in our front yard 2 weeks ago and is has disappeared...and was brand new! I hate the thought of spending the money on a new one. The one he lost did not have the numbers sew on yet (they were in the pocket) and had the plastic thing attached to the buttons with his newly earned Bobcat in it. If you think your boy might have picked it up or if you have an old one that you wouldn't mind passing on please let me know! Thanks!

Halloween Festival/Fundraiser

2011-09-29T12:51:00.000-07:00

One of the most fabulous women I know is in stage 4 colon cancer. At this point she has decided to refuse medical treatment partly due to cost and partly because she doesn't want to live with a colostomy bag. Her name is Cece, and she is perhaps the sweetest, most giving person I know. She has been part of my husband's family for over 15 years, and has done nothing but love and support everyone she comes in contact with. Now we want to be there for her.
We are trying to organize a Halloween Festival/Fundraiser for Cece. We're looking at Saturdays in October (except the 8th, as not to interfere with the Stake Fall Festival).
We are planning things like face painting, bouncy house, silent auction, bake sale, pictures with a giant pumpkin, costume parade, and so much more! We are looking for anyone willing to help us with this. If you have ideas, items you might be able to donate, or any other way to help, please contact me.
Thank you so much for your support!
If you have any way to help please e-mail me at: gardinerspot@gmail.com

Fesitval of Trees

2011-09-26T19:56:00.001-07:00

My friend Amy is doing a tree for "Festival of Trees" to honor her baby daughter, Annie. The theme of the tree is "For Every Untold Story." It will be a story book tree. If anyone is interested in donating children's books to the tree, let me know. All proceeds go to Primary Children's Medical Center. The books need to be new or "like new." The scholastic $1 books are a great option. We need to have all the books collected by October 20th. No obligation, this is just if your looking for a good cause to donate to for Christmas time. Thanks much-Michele Reich 801-766-5180

Mark Reich is turning 40!

2011-08-18T08:03:00.000-07:00

This is an update for my previous post. I am trying to organize a block party for this Saturday at 6:45pm for Mark's 40th Birthday. It will be up in the circle near Hollie Hansens house. I have been out of town for a week so hopefully the word has gotten out. I will provide drinks, chips and dessert. I will also provide condiments for hot dogs. So bring your own hot dogs and buns and something to share (salad, veggie, fruit or whatever you want). It would help me alot if you could tell your neighbors about this, otherwise I will end up with lots of left over cake! Thanks- Michele

rent a vehicle

2011-07-26T10:42:00.000-07:00

Aaaggghhh!! We have only one very aged car and David barely made it to the repair shop as he was coming home from work in Springville this morning. If anyone has an extra vehicle we can rent for a day or two or however long, until we find out what it will take to repair ours, please give us a call this afternoon. We will be glad to rent it (reasonably) and fill it with gas, of course. This is a back up plan if we can't use our daughter's car. They are out of town until tomorrow night. If we can find a key to it here at our house we can use that until tomorrow night. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Bull River 24th of July Celebrations!

2011-07-17T11:10:00.000-07:00

Hi neighbors! Mike & Jennifer Seely have been kind enough to organize the annual Bull River 24th of July block party! I am just spreading the word that it will be on Monday, July 25th at 6:30pm. If you can come, bring your own meat to grill (there will be BBQ's), and a side dish to share. Also, Mike has a hookup to get some sweet fireworks, so if you are able and would like to contribute $5 to $10 please have your money to Mike Seely no later than this Thursday. The more money we can get, the sweeter the firework show. :) We will be meeting in the Cul-de-Sac in front of the Seely's home. Any questions, you can call me or the Seely's.

Also, Friday the 22nd and Saturday the 23rd there are several neighbors camping up at Payson Lakes. If anyone would like to come spend a day at the lake on Saturday let me know and I can give you details. If there are any still interested in camping, I know Payson campground is full, but there is another campground called Blackhawk only 5 miles away, I can give details on that as well to those interested. Should be a fun weekend! Party on! :) Hollie 801-358-7510

Mark Reich is turning 40!

2011-07-12T07:45:00.001-07:00

Mark is turning 40 on August 21st, so of course I am obligated to do more that dinner and a movie. This year I am taking 4 of his favorite things and doing them for his birthday. One of his favorite things is getting together with neighbors. I am planning a block party on August 20th at 6:45pm (mark has to work so I can't do it earlier) up in the circle near my house. I am still working out details but I think I will just do hot dogs, salads and dessert. I am going to do it pot-luck style because I have no idea how many people will come. So bring your own hot dogs/buns and one thing to share (salad/veggie/fruit). I will provide drinks, chips and dessert. If I get ambitious I might do an outdoor movie and the time might change a little. I will figure that out when it gets closer. This is going to be a surprise so don't talk to Mark about it. If you have questions call me (don't email me). Not everyone reads this blog so if you could help pass the word along that would be great. Thanks much -Michele

Does anyone know?

Does anyone around here have the ability to transfter VHS to DVD. I have two VHS tapes I want transfered, Costco wouldn't do them because they have copyrighted stuff on them (I'm not sure what though- ones an ultrasound tape and the other is a news clip). I am assuming most businesses won't do them then. I also have 2 beta tapes I want transfered, but thats probably a long shot. If you know anyone who does this will you email me-thanks markreich@digis.net

Lost Bike

2011-05-09T11:10:00.000-07:00

Cam has lost his bike and he REALLY needs it. He has searched around our house and checked at the school with no result. So, I'm guessing he's left it at a friend's house or a Cub Scout leader's house. If you see it hanging out in your garage or as the snow melts, will you please give me a call?
It has two wheels and it's dark brown and white, but I don't really remember any other distinguishable markings (although that doesn't mean it isn't super-duper special!)

Thanks,
Kelly

Alpine School District Bond Community Input Meeting

2011-05-05T12:32:00.000-07:00

info from Karen Ashman

Time	Wednesday, May 11 · 7:00pm - 8:30pm

Location	Willowcreek Middle School 2275 W. 300 N. Lehi, UT

The Alpine School District will present information about a proposed bond for the 2011 fall election. This affects everyone who owns a home in the Alpine School District, and especially those who attend schools in the Lehi area. Please mark your calendar now and plan on coming to this meeting. It is REALLY important that we have a LOT of people attend, so please spread the word and invite others to attend.

At the moment, the proposed bond includes a three story classroom addition for Lehi High School. Information about projected student enrollment through 2015 can be found here: http://www.alpine.k12.ut.us/publicComponents/newsletters/Enrollment%20History%20&%20Projections-2011a%20Enrollment%20History%20and%20Projection.pdf with information specific to Lehi beginning on page 30. Projected enrollment for Lehi High for the 2015-2016 school year is 2,865. By comparison, the year before Westlake was completed, enrollment at Lehi High was 2,227.

Although a classroom addition would be helpful, it still does not completely solve the problem of increased enrollment. Construction on the classroom addition is not set to begin until 2013, and is expected to take 2 years. Enrollment for those two school years is projected to be 2,333 and 2,596, with construction taking place throughout the two school years. Lehi High is on the smallest property for a secondary school in the District, (29.11 acres) which creates the problem of major disruption during the construction phase to parking and other extra curricular activities. The auditorium seats 750, and is not slated for improvements. (roughly 1/4 the projected enrollment by 2015 alone)

At this meeting, it is critical that residents focus solely on Lehi High students and facilities, and that we not compare our facility to other secondary schools in the District. (Lehi has a reputation for 'whining', especially when comparisons are made)

This will be your only opportunity to voice your opinion, and if other communities have greater representation, Lehi High might not get the investment it so desperately needs. If you have any questions, please contact a member of the High School Community Council, PTSA or Booster Club. Please also encourage Jr. High and High School students to attend.

An Amazing Volunteer Opportunity

2011-04-05T09:43:00.000-07:00

Do you have an hour a week to share?

I have LOVED doing Meals on Wheels in Lehi for the past few years but find I need to take a break for a bit. This has been one of the most rewarding things I do each week. I feel happier with my life and my community by the end of my hour of "work" on Friday. The home bound seniors are always so appreciative and I have about a dozen new friends. It's a great way to involve your kids, too!

If you think this might work for you, I would be so happy to tell you more about it or you can click here to get more info, too. You won't regret it.

My poor little 2 1/2yr old is still not part of our family home evening board. It's never been a pressing item on my to-do list because she's been young enough that just attending was her thing, but she is starting to pick up on the fact that each person checks the board to see what they are in charge of and she's now asking where her name is? I guess I'd better fix that. You'd think I could just take a sharpie and give the girl her own tag, but I just can't....it wouldn't match! So, on that note, does anyone out there know of a good place to get vinyl lettering done? I've only ever done any projects with vinyl via super saturday so I figured I'd put the word out there to all of you incredibly talented and creative ladies and see what results I get. I'm sure Kaylie would truly appreciate "officially" joining FHE with us on Monday nights :-) Thanks, Emily

garden tiller

2011-03-11T14:01:00.000-08:00

I am looking for a garden tiller that I can borrow. My poor garden is in need of an over haul. If you are willing to let me borrow yours, I would greatly appreciate it!

Summer Wacky Wednesdays!

2011-02-28T22:07:00.000-08:00

I know this is EARLY, but I wanted to throw out the idea I had for this summers Wacky Wednesday activities. For those who don't know what Wacky Wednesday is, I will explain. Each Wednesday in the summer, moms who feel like all they do all week is tell their kids to keep the doors shut, or stop running in and out of the house wet, or tell them they have to try to keep the house semi clean, etc... get a change of scenery by taking their kids on an outing. We try to keep a balance of educational, outdoors, and just for fun activities. In the past we have done things like riding our scooters up the path to Bridal Veil Falls, going to the Bean museum, playing at the splash pad, going to a park, going to the copper mines, you get the idea. I have usually planned all the activities, and whoever wants to come meets at my house on Wednesday mornings. This year, I thought it would be fun to have different "hosts" each week, (basically I am just passing on some of the responsibility, WHAT?) lol. All the "host" has to do is pick an activity (I have a list of activities you can choose from, or you can come up with your own), let people know what the activity is and what time you want to meet, and let them meet you at your house. I know, I know! It's so easy! Soooo, there are 12 wacky Wednesdays, I need 11 volunteers! Who's in? Call me at 801-358-7510. And by the way, you don't have to be a "host" in order to come. It's always fun, so come when you can! After I get the "hosts" and their activities, I will make a calendar and post it for everyone. Thanks!

Not so FREE Babysitting

2011-02-04T11:55:00.000-08:00

Jayden wanted me to write a post for him. He will be 13 in August and is interested in babysitting. He babysits his 2 and 5 year old brother every week for our date night, plus whatever else I need him for. I'm happy to report that my 2 and 5 year old are still alive and you can expect the same for your kids. He is responsible and his siblings are alive, I don't know what else to say. Jayden said boys get the shaft in the babysitting department- I explained that its mostly because girls are motherly, clean, like babies and parents don't usually come home to legos duct taped to the ceiling and kids jumping from the banister onto bean bags- I've probably said too much, but Jayden is a good babysitter for me. He can change diapers, make SIMPLE meals, entertain young children and clean if necessary and I'm only a phone call away if things head south. You can reach him at 801-766-5180.

Fox Hollow Book Fair

2011-01-29T23:43:00.001-08:00

The Fox Hollow Book Fair is February 1-4. That's next week! We still have volunteer spots left for 15 lucky people! I have the schedule set up on a Google document and I"d be happy to share it with anyone that would like to view it in order to compare your schedule with what is needed at the fair. The shifts are only two hours long, you can bring your other children, and if you need to step out a little early for SEP's we don't mind. Andrea (the librarian) hasn't been feeling well and any amount of time you can offer to help would be much appreciated!

Call me if you'd like the schedule or any other details.

Do you D.J.?

2011-01-27T09:19:00.000-08:00

Does anyone know a DJ that could help with the daddy/daughter dance at Fox Hollow?

Last year's dance was hugely popular. We expect it to be big again this year.

The dance will be on February 17 from 6:30-8 pm.

It can be a good source of advertising (as a sponsor) because it is so well attended and we can also note it in our school newsletter that goes home with over 1000+ kids.

Please email me if you have any information. Thank you!

Now, sometimes there are changes in the schedule or book so if you want to be notified of changes, please email me charitylayne@hotmail.com and I will add you to the email list.
We are always looking for someone willing to host so feel free to volunteer. We generally skip July and December but we still have August-November up for grabs! So if you have a book that you absolutely LOVE, then we would LOVE to read it.

Happy Reading!!

Similac Formula

2011-01-20T13:55:00.000-08:00

For some reason, I received a free can of Similac infant formula in the mail. Obviously, I have no use for it so was wondering if anyone else did. Please call me.

More FREE stuff!

2010-12-27T14:32:00.000-08:00

I have a habitual need to get rid of stuff. Instead of "Buried Alive" our TV show would be called "Stark Naked." Mark can't understand why I'm always getting rid of stuff, it helps me breath easier, I don't know, its a compulsion- one in which someone else benefits from, so whats the harm. Any way, Christmas makes me even crazier because I feel like I'm being suffocated by toys. I only post it on the blog when I think its nice stuff and hate to see it go to DI. Its like trying to find a home for a pet or something. This is all stuff from my old house. We have lived here for almost 6 years and its still not hung up, so I'm finally giving it away. I have: a white framed mirror with shelf- from Down East Home, a framed "Proclamation to the World" with dried flowers in the matte, a large wreath-green leaves, red berries- not christmas, a large wall hang clock- wrought iron. I also have boys valences with car and trucks on them and a couple other little home decor items. If you are interested, stop by and you can take what you want. thanks - michele reich

Merry Christnas and Happy New Year

2010-12-23T17:34:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas and Happy 2011 to all the Bull River Neighbors!!!

A word of caution

2010-12-13T07:50:00.000-08:00

Two friends here at work have had their homes broken into so far this season. Times are very hard right now which will make people more desperate. Please make sure that your homes are locked, and that lights are left on when you are not home. Maybe even the TV or some music.

One of the friends had money taken, the other friend had medications at least moved. Please take precautions.

Also have a plan for your children if they are home alone.

Sorry for dismal news, but better to be safe than sorry.

I hope that you all have a safe, loving, jolly, merry and spiritual Christmas Season.

Love to you all,

Kevin and Debi Marriott

Wooden Art Easel (FREE!!)

2010-11-14T19:13:00.000-08:00

I knew the word FREE would make you want to read this. I'm not trying to use this blog as my new "ksl.com" but when I have nice items to get rid of (legos are not in this category) I would rather see if someone I know would like them first. I have a wooden art easel. It has a chalk board on one side and a wipe off board on the other. It has a roll of paper that comes out of the center. My kids never use it. Why use an art easel when my walls are a clean canvas for them. I have Picaso living right here in my home- he's two, he comes with the easel if you want. If someone wants this for a Christmas gift for their kids or for whatever let me know.

any suggestions?

2010-11-13T20:26:00.000-08:00

Hi Bull River Neighbors! As the admin of this blog I would like to know if you have any suggestions, ideas or complaints about it. I have tried to keep up with new move ins etc, but if you have any other people you would like me to invite to the blog just let me know.
Thanks!!!

I Hate Legos!!!

2010-11-09T12:13:00.001-08:00

My favorite sound on earth is the sound of a lego rattling up the vacuum cleaner hose. We have thousands, literally (this is thanks to my husband, who loves star wars and the four boys he has brain washed).I am going to get rid of about a garbage bag full, because I want to share the insanity. If anyone would like free legos to drive yourself mad, let me know. Of course the exchange must happen while my boys are at school and Mark is at work. They will never know- I could throw away three bags full and they would have no idea. If no one wants them I am going to throw them in the garbage can, maybe that will be my new favorite sound. Thanks much- call me if you want some- michele reich!

Great Pediatrician anyone?

2010-11-01T08:49:00.000-07:00

If you love yours, will you tell me who & why?

The one we're with recently undermined our trust in him (I won't go into details here), and our baby may have some unusual health problems. So, like the dentist post... any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Primary Program Practice....

2010-10-20T19:36:00.001-07:00

Hey all...are you sick of hearing from me yet? :) Just a reminder that there will be a practice for the Primary Program on Friday at 4:30. It was previously scheduled for 4:00 but had to be pushed back because of a funeral. We hope to see all of our fantastic teachers and smiling children there! Thanks for all of your help and support!

Sister Holland

Suggestions, Please!

2010-10-16T18:21:00.000-07:00

Hello neighbors!! This is my first time writing on the neighborhood blog, and I think it's such a great idea! Thanks for inviting me to it!

So, I need all of your expert advice... We do not have a dentist in this area yet, since we are still relatively new to the area, and I need your recommendations on good, wait, no, not just good, but fabulous dentists in the area. I have had amazing dentists in the past that I really trusted, but have heard horror stories of bad dentists that do work they don't need to, and so I really don't just want to choose any random dentist. So, as my neighbors that have been here much longer than me, please comment on this post and give me your suggestions of who you go to and if you like them and would recommend them. Also, my husband heard some good things about Stonehaven Dental from someone - does anyone go to them too and recommend them? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! :)

Holiday Flag Service

2010-10-01T16:24:00.000-07:00

Displaying an American flag on state and National holidays helps show our patriotism and that we are proud of our country. When groups display flags together is gives a feeling of unity. The Reich boys want to help make our neghborhood look more patriotic on National and State holidays. Here's how you can be a part of this:

Who: The Reich boys
when: Starting Feb. 2011, includes 8 holidays
what: An American flag
Where: Displayed in your front yard for the entire day
Why: The Reich boys are trying to earn money for their missions.
Cost: $30 a year (This is $3.75 per holiday.) We are providing the flag but the cost does not include purchase of that flag, just the service of displaying the flag in your yard.

To avoid confusion, the cost will be per year, rather than per holiday. If you would like to sign up for this service you can call 801-766-5180 or email us at markreich@digis.net . Your first flag will be put out on Presidents Day in Feb. 2011. Reserve your flag today!

Holidays Included:
Presidents Day (Feb)
Memorial Day (May)
Flag Day (June 14)
Independence Day (July 4)
Pioneer Day (July 24)
Labor Day (sept.)
Patriot Day (sept. 11)
Veterans Day (Nov 11)

Note: we passed out flyers, but there may have been some confusion because I put "does not include actual flag"- We ARE providing the flag. I meant that you are not puchasing the flag with the fee. The fee is for set up and removal of a flag we provide on 8 holidays a year.

First Dibs on Old Bedroom Set

2010-09-28T14:58:00.001-07:00

This was my old bedroom set that has been wrapped in plastic and sitting in our basement since we moved here 4 years ago. :) I was planning to post it on KSL but thought I'd post it here for a day to give anyone in the neighborhood first dibs. It has 2 nightstands, a dresser, another dresser with a vanity, and complete queen size poster bed frame. I have a boxspring but not a mattress for it. We had an olympic queen mattress on it which fit fine. (The bedding is not my bedding of choice, but I wanted to show what the bed frame looked like. :) ) If anyone is interested in buying it let me know and we'll come up with a fair price. Thanks friends!

Stephanie Nielson, author of the NieNie Dialogues, is coming to BYU on Thursday!

2010-09-28T06:08:00.000-07:00

NieNie Is Coming! Yep. Stephanie Nielson. And You’re Invited.

You heard right! Stephanie Nielson, author of the NieNie Dialogues, is coming to BYU!

So mark your calendar for Thursday, September 30th at 7:00 pm. The event will be in the Wilkinson Center Ballroom.

Stephanie is helping us kick off a new campaign here at Women’s Services called Recapturing Beauty.

Through experiences with hundreds of women in our professional and personal lives, we couldn’t help but notice that every single woman we knew had something negative to say about her appearance. What a shame! We are literal children of God. How can we have so many harsh things to say about the incredible bodies we have each been given? How can we reject these magnificent gifts with our nipping, tucking, molding, and controlling?

To combat the fallacies surrounding beauty, Women’s Services presents a series of events and support groups to help women live lives of greater fulfillment, at peace with their appearances.

Recapturing Beauty is a campaign to reshape our ideas and attitudes about beauty away from those promoted in our popular culture. The definition of beauty has been hijacked by a group of people and industries who have in mind profit more than beauty. We are sold ideas of beauty that are very hard to attain unless, of course, we have enough money.

When we make beauty exclusive and difficult to attain, it sets up a culture of self-loathing, competition and envy. None of these reflect the true nature of women.

Instead of embarking on more meaningful quests, we place our faith in products and images. Rather than loving our bodies and being peaceful, respectful and gentle with them we attack, manipulate and try to control them, never feeling satisfied.

Recapturing Beauty is about reclaiming the truth about beauty so that we can find peace and contentment in our bodies and in our lives.

………………………………………………………………………………
Stephanie Nielson will speak about her experiences and how each of us can find beauty in ourselves.

The event is open to the public! Community members, men, women, students, spouses of students, people who have never heard of BYU—all welcome!! There is no need to register; just be at the Wilkinson Center Ballroom on BYU Campus on Thursday, September 30th at 7:00 pm!

Hallmark Family Tree- for sale

2010-09-12T15:25:00.000-07:00

I have a Hallmark family tree, new in the box. I paid $40 for it (still have reciept). It's a metal tree that is meant to hang small ornamental frames with family photos in them. Its 23" wide and 22" tall. It can be hung on a wall or be free standing. It would make a great mother-in-law gift. I bought it for that reason and then another family member gave her one and now its been too long to return it. I also have several frames to go with it (11 to be exact, also new in the box). I paid about $45 total for all the frames. I am selling the tree and frames together for $40. So you are basically getting all the frames for free. If anyone is interested let me know. markreich@digis.net

Looking for a babysitter

2010-08-24T13:20:00.001-07:00

Hello, Everyone!
I'm looking for recommendations on babysitters in the neighborhood. I'd like get an established babysitter so my husband and I can actually get out of the house once in a while. If anyone can suggest a few, I'd really appreciate it. We have such awesome youth in this area - I'm just not sure which ones do babysitting. If you know of a few - will you e-mail me their names? karigardiner@yahoo.com
Thanks, everybody!

Free Apricots

2010-08-24T07:22:00.000-07:00

Jared's mom gave us 3 plastic grocery bags full of apricots that I don't have time to can. Last week, she gave us 4 bags and I was able to get 12+ pints of syrup and more fruit leather than I can remember! So, there are plenty here to make it worth a few hours of canning. (They're a little over ripe for eating, but still good for canning). I hate to see them go to waste! Please call me if you can use them!

If anyone has furniture (in any condition) -- i.e. beds, chair, dressers, couch, or dining table that you are planning to give to DI, please let me know. My son, Taylor and his missionary companion from Alaska are moving into an unfurnished house in Orem and as of now they have a hammock! Jan Beames 768 0810 or my cell 801 706 1151. Thanks!

Boy Dress-ups

2010-08-19T09:54:00.000-07:00

I'm looking for a few boy dress-ups for my preschool. I have plenty for girls, but the boy stuff seems to wear out quicker (I'm sure it has nothing to do with my 4boys!)
I would love to trade green beans, cucumbers, zucchini or peas if you have any dress-ups that need a new home.
Thanks! Kelly

3 wacky wednesdays left!- Note this weeks has changed to Tuesday!

2010-08-02T10:41:00.000-07:00

Here is the schedule for the last 3 wacky wednesdays.

Tuesday!!! August 3- We have changed this week from wacky wednesday to totally tuesday so that we can enjoy the $2 entrance fee at Thanksgiving pt. All venues are $2 per person, so we can take our pick of the museum, petting zoo, or gardens. Meet at 10:00am at my house.

August 11- We are planning to take a tour of the Kennecott Mine. The cost appears to be $5 per car, I will call and confirm. Plan on meeting at 10am at my house to caravan, and possibly double up on cars!

August 18- Last wacky Wednesday! Payson Lakes! This is a full day activity so put dinner in the crock pots early. :) Plan on leaving by 9:30, it is about 1 1/2 hr drive but worth it! I need to know who is coming to this activity, so please call and let me know. The lake has an entrance fee of $7 per car. There are no motorized boats on this lake, it is a small swimming lake with a grassy beach area, and lots of fun. What to bring: lunch, snacks, drinks, rafts or floating toys, towels, blankets, scooters optional, and LIFE JACKETS! Please don't forget life jackets, it is a lot more fun when we know our kids are safe. :) The lake has a paved trail around it that you can walk on or ride bikes or scooters.

I will post reminders, but this is what to plan for, let me know if you would like to come!

Fox Hollow Elementary Volunteer Opportunity...

2010-07-27T08:46:00.000-07:00

Hello All -

I'm helping out with running the Take Home Library program at Fox Hollow for the upcoming school year, and just thought I'd send out an early invite for volunteers. The time commitment is pretty much up to you - depends on how many classrooms/crates you offer to do (1 crate= approx 15-30min per week). The program runs September-early May. If you would possibly be interested, please contact me getpower@comcast.net (if you prefer a certain day-please indicate) so that we can start planning for it. More info to come....

Thanks,
Emily Power

Thanks to Michele Reich and her mother in law for letting us come and swim! We always have fun coming.

This week we are going to Liberty Park. We will meet at my house at 10am to caravan. If you need directions to meet us later give me a call. I am hesitant about posting my phone number and address online, so if you don't have my number, ask a neighbor. :)

Wacky Wednesday- Cedar Hills Park

2010-07-19T22:04:00.001-07:00
