A cute store you might want to check out...

There is a new little store in Rogers called "Family Matters", on 2nd street downtown.  It has all kinds of cute things for children at reasonable 

prices.  Bows, hats, t-shirts, dance tutus, baby quilts, pins, etc.  With all the kids in the Branch,

I thought some sisters might like to check it out....

September Book Group

Thank you Cori for hosting book group last week, and Leslee for leading the discussion.

 

Our September book is Mary, Martha & Me by Camille Fronk Olson.  We will meet at 8:30pm on Thursday, September 2nd at Amy Bench's house.  Lacey Schofield will lead the discussion.

 

Summary of the book:

When someone says, "She is a Martha-type," we know just what that means: a woman who is practical, competent, down-to-earth. We understand that Marthas are certainly useful and necessary, but it's usually Mary that gets the halo. Author Camille Fronk Olson brings unique insights and perspectives to the biblical story of two sisters, Mary and Martha, who serve Jesus in different ways. Exploring the mixed messages in daily life, she discusses the motives and focus that determine our choices and the problem of comparing our gifts and contributions to others. In her warm, engaging style, the author brings to light the lessons Mary and Martha learn from each other and the "one thing [that] is needful" for both.

 

Since this is a church book, it will need to be ordered, or possibly purchased at Debbie's Beehive in Springdale.  You can find used copies on Amazon.com starting at $3.09

Here is the list of books for the next few months.  We still need a few discussion leaders.  It's not hard...I promise!  Let me know if you would like to volunteer.

Play Group-Jones Center Friday?

Hey y'all,

  Wanted to catch you early in the week to tell you about play group Friday!  It is the last one before school starts again (how crazy is that?!?  what a quick summer!), so I wanted to plan something fun for the big kiddos too.  I've been wanting to go to the Jones Center Pool all summer...well, really, ever since I went to the Jones Center for something else and saw how awesome their pool is!  So, this Friday, peeps.  Let's do it.  It's in Springdale, and I know it's kind of a hike, but I think it'll be worth it!  They have public swim from 12-3:45 (and then 4-7:45 if y'all are feeling extra ambitious!), so I know that's later than usual, and it could run into some nap times, but we're (My & I) planning on being there right at noon and just staying an hour and a half or so.  I also know it's lunch time, so eat before you come!  But I think it's going to be SO much fun!  I hope everyone can make it!  Important details: it's indoor, it's $2 per person (kids under 3 are free! yay!), kids not potty trained HAVE to wear a swim diaper, and the address is 922 E. Emma Ave. in Springdale (it took me about 25-30 minutes to get there). 
  I think we'll take the following week off, because of school starting, but the week after, let's start home play dates!  My plan is to have home play groups each Wednesday (we need a hump day activity!) beginning around 10:30 or 11 AM (depending on when the host wants to start!).  If anyone has preschool, hopefully you can still drop by!  Because it's around lunch time, we'll have snacks, but bring a sack lunch for you and the kiddos.  Once a month, instead of a home play group, we'll meet up somewhere fun like Chuck E Cheese or a kiddie matinee or something! 
  So, the first one will be Wednesday, August 25 at my house!  I'll send more details later, but plan on it!  And we need hosts!  Let me know if you would be delighted to have your home blessed with lots of activity some Wednesday!:)  If a different day works better for you to host, let me know and we'll do some rearranging for the week.  I'm trying to get September figured out, so especially let me know if one of those Wednesdays works for you!  I'll try to send out a calendar at the end of August for September!
  I am really, really excited about play group!:) 

Thanks!

Need Help for August Temple Trip...from Kristen Cornelsen

I'm interested in going on the temple trip on Aug 14 but I'll need some help:

 

I already have plans to drive to Tulsa to pick up Erik at the airport on Aug 14 (in the afternoon) so I would love to add on the ward temple session in the morning too. But since I can't swap with Erik and I won't have the time to make a trade with anyone else, are there any young men or young women planning on going up with their parents that might be able to watch our 2 kids? We will gladly pay you for your time. If you're interested, please let me know!

 

Thanks,

Kristen Cornelsen

Play group tomorrow!

Hey mamas,

  I've been racking my brain for a play group place tomorrow, and I think I came up with a winner!  Did you know Chuck E. Cheese's opens at 9 AM?  Let's meet there at 10 for lots of fun!  I'm going to try extra hard to be on time too!:)  I don't know too many details (I tried to call, but it was difficult to get a real person), but from what I understand you buy tokens for the games and stuff, and admission is free.  I haven't been there in years, but remember LOVING it as a kid. 
  If you want to stay for lunch, I guess they have lots of food choices.  Anyway, it's 2006 Promenade Blvd. in Rogers!  Hope to see everyone there!

Third Batch of Corn is almost ready

 

Yesterday I was at the stake farm, located by Centerton Ward building.  I spoke with Bro. Isabell who oversees the farm.  There will be more corn available either this weekend or the first part of next week.  He was watering the corn again and said it should plump up and turn yellow by Saturday or Monday.  He asked me to let everyone in Centerton know, so please do not let it go to waste.  Thank you.
