Wednesday March 7th we have our Trek FIreside for all the youth AND parents. There will be a lot of important information that you will want to know about our Trek. It will be at the Stake Center at 7:00pm.
this week is New Beginnings! This is always a special night to share with our parents and with the new, incoming Beehives! :) Our Theme for the night is FIREWORKS and how they can remind us to ARISE AND SHINE forth! I know the Beehives have been working hard on getting all of the refreshments made and that the Mia Maids creative juices have been flowing on how to decorate/set up for the night!
REMINDER: all of the Beehives will be meeting at the Clemente's on Monday (Feb. 20th) from 10am to noon to decorate cookies and other goodies for Wednesday night!
for more infor regarding this weeks Joint Activity with the YM.
The boys are in charge and we were hoping to up to Bogus to their Tubing Hill (which is what we tentatively announced at church today) however, they only offer tubing Thursdays-Sundays. The YM are working on a back up plan and we'll let everyone know what that is as soon as we find out! :)
Thanks for your patience :)
Everyone have an enjoyable week at school and we'll see all of your smiling faces on Wednesday!
We were finally able to get to BOUNCE! this week for our Combined YW Activity! We had a GREAT turnout with 16 girls ready to spend their energy with some physical activity! The best part.... we literally had the ENTIRE facility to ourselves! the girls really had a wonderful time and we finished the night off with some popcorn for refreshments :)
Sorry - no pics this time :( All of the leaders forgot their cameras!
Since our first big snowfall of the season decided to hit us on Wednesday (hooray for snow!) we decided it best to switch our BOUNCE! week with what was planned for the following week. The Beehives all met over at the Beath's home (Thank you, Beaths!) where they watched the movie - Tangled. Although, from my understanding, not much watching was going on but LOTS of chatting and laughing and having fun with one another did! :) The Mia Maids, met over at Sister Vogt's for a movie night as well. However, theirs was more of a serious movie - 17 Miracles which depicts the true stories of the Willie Handcart Company and the struggles they faces as they crossed the plains to the Salt Lake Valley. If any of you are interested in viewing this movie, it is available on YouTube (I've attached it below)
This year for Trek (which is going to be June 7-9th) the youth of our Stake will be pulling handcarts (roughly 7 miles a day!) in honoring the Pioneers that sacrificed so much for us and so this movie was a great way to introduce what they really endured and how the Lord had not forgotten them!
We are going to BOUNCE! Everyone will enjoy the large slide, huge obstacle course, large bounce house and sticky wall. They have something for everyone! You won't want to miss it!
Mmmm... Mmmmm... Good!! I think we'd all agree that our Chocolate Dipping activity with the YM over at Lee's Candy was exceptionally good!! Everyone got to go home with their bag of goodies and what fun to take charge and dip WHATEVER your heart desired! (I did hear that the Vienna Sausages weren't that tasty... even WITH the chocolate!).. Here are some pictures from the night....
This years Mutual Theme is from D&C 115:5. During our lesson on Sunday we were all introduced to this wonderful message! Here is the video clip that I was planning on sharing during class... I hope you all take a moment and watch it :)
and here is the direct link to view lots of other 2012 mutual themed videos! Each one of them are uplifting and worthy of your time! Enjoy! Arise and Shine Forth Videos from LDS.org
I'm excited for us to explore and strive to live up to our new mutual theme!! Have a great week everyone!
love, Sister Vogt :)
Hi Girls! We will be caroling at one of the Assisted Living Homes this week! They were all booked up on Wednesday, so we will be meeting AT THE CHURCH at 6PM on TUESDAY.
Just bring your singing voices and your smiles!!
See ya then!
We have dedicated the 2nd Wednesday of each month to Personal Progress. Each of the girls meet with their adviser one-on-one and go over what they have worked on throughout the month as well as set new goals for the next month. During the time that the girls are meeting with their Advisors, our Personal Progress leader (Kimberly Wing) has an activity planned that corresponds to one of the Value Experiences. This past week, the Beehives worked really hard and made LOTS of wonderful Christmas Ornaments to take to the residents of the Assisted Living Home that we will be caroling at next week. While they were busy crafting, the Mia Maids were sewing aprons! Both groups of girls did an extremely good job!!
For November's Combined Young Women activity, the girls planned to go Ice Skating! It was a super cold night but we had a great turn out and had fun strutting our stuff out on the ice! A couple of the girls had never been Ice Skating and it was wonderful seeing some of the more experienced skaters in our group, help them out (Thanks Cami!!). It was unanimous that if we go again, that is should be a summer activity - instead of going from the cold car, to the cold ice rink, back to a cold car! Here are some of the pictures from the night...
The Mia Maids met over at Rachael's house this week to get their groove on (or should I say "carve" on!). They each carved intricate designs as the leaders admired their creations! Sister Seely, Sister Vogt and Sister Harlow were all so impressed by the creativity that each of the girls displayed with their works of art!
