Sometimes when my friend, Sherrie, who lives in our neighborhood, plays tennis to keep in shape, she often calls me to see if her cute little son, Scottie, can come over for a while. When he does, I get a kick out of his silly remarks and his sweet nature. Sometimes when he comes over, we have story time and he likes to get in the bucket and I read articles from the Friend magazine with him. Isn't he adorable?
Hopefully this title, Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party , does not sound irreverent, because as an Activity Days leader, I felt compelled to come up with a fun end-of-the-summer event that is also uplifting, and after all, who doesn't love a splash in the pool on a hot day in August? My current church calling, or official role that I volunteer for, allows me to plan two activities each month for girls ages 8 to 11, that will encourage them to learn and live the gospel, serve others, and use the talents Heavenly Father has given them, to learn to do many good things. This year's seminary course of study for high school students is The Book of Mormon, and since I am a huge fan of this inspired book of scripture, I came up with this idea to have each girl show up to my house with a written summary of one of her favorite stories from within its many pages, and share it with the rest of the girls, while outside in our swimsuits near our backyard swimming pool! As each girl shares

I love how you always have your camera handy to snap photo's!
It would appear to me that we have a lot in common Kelly! I too love to bake and LOVE card making! I wonder what other interests we share?
