Bye, Bye, Bye

In case you don't use Facebook (i.e. me), here is a link to the Venture Scouts' music video.  The boys did this for the lip sync contest, and they have posted it on YouTube hoping to get lots of hits.  Pass the link along, and help them get as many hits as possible!

Not so FREE Babysitting

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

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.?

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!

Girl Scout Cookies

Katie will be selling Girl Scout cookies again this year. Let me know if you want any.

Book Club Schedule

Some of you may not know that we have a book club here in the ward. We try and meet most months and we even try to discuss the book :). It is a fun time to just get together and be girls. You don't even have to read the book, just come and have fun.

Here is a list of the books that we will be reading in the next few months and the dates that we will be having the meetings:

February 10 - Lori Withers is hosting. The book is "Garden Spells," by Sarah Addison Allen
March 10 - Lisa Meyers is hosting. The book is "City of Bones," by Cassandra Clare
April 21 - Mary Allen is hosting. The book is "Number the Stars, by Lois Lowry
May 12 - Charity Layne is hosting. The book is "Wrapped in Rain," by Charles Martin
June 16 - Elizabeth Lasson is hosting. The book is "To The Rescue: The Biography of President Thomas S Monson."

Meetings are usually at 8pm.

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!!
