The 25 Names of Jesus Christmas Countdown Printable

I got the idea and info for this Countdown from CapsCreations.com found here and WorthyofthePrize.blogspot.com found here.

I changed it a little bit so it would fit in a photo album rather than turn it into garland or ornaments or any other way that you choose to display it.  Attached are the files I created. This is the first time I have shared files so hopefully they work!  Enjoy. Here is the example for December 1st.



The printable for the Name & Scripture can be found here.

A printable more in depth explanations can be found here.

These are both Microsoft Office Word Documents. I hope you can open them.

Once again all of the information included came from CapsCreations.com and WorthyofthePrize.blogspot.com none of it is my own and I don't claim it to be.

Personal Progress Incentive Board

If you haven't heard I have been put back into the Young Women's. This time I am the Secretary. My main focus right now is Personal Progress so I made this cute little okay giant (3' x 4') incentive board. I got the idea from here.
 
The plan is the first time the girls bring their book so I can update our records so we know where to help them so they can earn their medallion they get to punch out one of the cups and there is a prize inside. From then on when they pass off a value experience they get a prize and if they already have their medallion then when they complete one hour towards their Honor Bee and read in the Book of Mormon they get to choice one. I hope that makes sense and hope we have to refill the cups soon!

Recess

Maybe I should give you some background info before I start this story. My sister, Rachelle, lives in the town next to us, Lyman, and she has a daughter named Morgan that turned 16 on June 2nd and she has a boyfriend from the next town, Bicknell, named Ryan Lee. We have seen Ryan a couple of times and TaKara always has a blast with Morgan and him.

So TaKara asked me a question a couple of days ago, "How did Morgan and Ryan meet"?  I replied, "At school." TaKara says, "OOOOOOOOOO." Then you could tell her wheels were a churning and she continues, "It must have been at Recess."  I tried to contain myself but I just couldn't it was so dang cute and inoccent.  I feel bad for her 1st grade teacher and recess time.   Hopefully only boy chasing going on and no kissing tag.  This is one example of "Kids Say the Darndest Thing." I love my kids to death most of the time if you couldn't tell ;)  I had to tell Rachelle, Morgan, and Ryan of course.  The girls said she was cute and Ryan wants to kidnap her because she is so adorable.  She would love to be kidnapped.

Holy Snow

Okay so we all know it is March 9th. Well when we went to sleep last night we had 3 inches already on the ground.  When we woke up it looked like this.  10 inches!!! and still coming.  It is a very wet snow and even has made the power flash off a couple of times. This is just what we needed to sustain our way of life this Summer. Thank you Heavenly Father. It is so amazing and beautiful.

Sig

Wow I haven't posted for a long time! I am going to try and update at least the pictures.

Anyways, last night we went with Dale to feed the cows and we didn't stop and get the dogs first like usual so when we were in the haystack the kids like to chase the calves out.  Well the dogs usually help them but since they weren't there Slade started to sig me (mom) on the cows. He said, "Sig sig sig Mom! Go get 'em!" It was so cute. I was laughing so hard I couldn't do anything.

Bid/Bed for Grover

Dale and the guys were doing a bid for a guy down in Grover.  We had been reading a book called The Monster at the End of this Book.  It is about Grover from Sesame Street. It is really cute I would recommend reading it. Well TaKara thought they were planning on making him a bed rather than bid on work ;) She was so excited until she learned the truth.
