Girl Scouts in Action!

For a Philanthropist badge the girls have been learning about giving back to the community. After learning about wants vs needs we went to Deseret Industries to learn about helping everyone stay clothed.  Today we went to the Dixie Care and Share to learn about keeping people fed!  The girls even had cookies to donate that they had sold during cookie season.  The girls informed customers about this goal, so people specifically bought cookies to be donated for this purpose!  It has been a good experience learning about how these two places do even more than just clothing and feeding people.  They are providing shelter, teaching, and helping people develop social/life skills and obtain jobs!  Thank you!

Month of Gratitude - Day 16

Apparently Blogger won't let me upload anymore pictures (hopefully just for the month) - that's NOT what I'm grateful for...
I am grateful for prayer!  It is a powerful thing to have an omnipotent source to go to when in need of guidance, comfort, or help.  I am also grateful that we learn at such a young age.  Watching Suzy learn to pray is so precious!  Todd jokes that Suzy is going to grow up thinking it's okay to pray with one eye open since all of us can't help but take a peek at this young child learning how to communicate with her Heavenly Father!

Month of Gratitude - Day 15

I am grateful for Girl Scouts!  A year ago my friend, Trisha, and I decided to start a troop, and what a blessing it has been!  The troop and organization has provided Liv with an environment to grow in so many ways.  She has broken out of her shy shell because of the friends she has made in her troop.  She is still quiet but definitely more comfortable to give an opinion.  It has also given her the opportunity to try all sorts of new things.  She has taken a pottery class, become more comfortable with a camera, learned to play new games, and even made her own pajama pants!  I am also grateful that I get to spend this extra time with her... to be able to watch as she grows and participate in events with her!  I believe we have become good friends because of our time doing Girl Scout activities together!  I am also grateful for the friends that I have made because of Girl Scouts!  What a great thing to be a part of!

Month of Gratitude - Day 14

I am grateful for my husband, Todd Young.  He is a very hard working man that has righteous goals and loves his family!  It is such a joy to watch him play with my kids, he is their best buddy!  Thanks for taking such good care of us honey!
