Summer Queen for a Day & GOALS!

Every summer each girl gets to be "queen" for a day and decide what we will be doing for that day. They get to pick one activity that we have to pay for and then everything else during the day needs to be free. So we did a hike up the canyon (Reese is my girl!), rock climbing at Funtopia, frozen yogurt at FroYo, and playing at the Provo Beach Resort. We had lots of fun building forts, watching movies, making snacks, and of course eating lots more ice cream.

Also, in 2019 our stake was one of the several stakes around the world to pilot the new youth program that the church would be implementing. I have loved it and am so excited to teach my girls how to make and keep goals that get them closer to Christ. There are 4 areas of life that we get to make goals around- Spiritual, physical, intellectual, and social. 

What we have been doing with our girls is printing out pictures that represent their goals and putting them above the words "You Did It" on our mudroom wall. Then when they accomplish that goal they can put their picture beneath those words and we also make a toast to them at dinnertime. Some of the goals they have accomplished are cooking, reading, building a fire, prayers, scripture study, typing on the computer, memorizing the baptismal covenants and much more. I am so excited to see what my girls accomplish through this new program. 

Emma's celebration for finishing a Harry Potter book was to make butter beer :)...
