This is the first blog post ever for the Everett Ensign Group. We are Mid-Singles (mostly 30-somethings) from "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" that get together on Monday Nights for Family Home Evenings (F.H.E.) at the Everett Ensign House in the Southwest corner of Everett.
Each Monday Night we take turns giving a spiritual message, a FUN activity and yummy refreshments.
PROGRAM FOR EACH MEETING:
7:30ish PM - Announcements
7:40ish PM - Opening Prayer
7:45ish PM - Uplifting Spiritual Lesson
8:15ish PM - Closing Prayer
8:20ish PM - Refreshments
8:30ish PM - FUN activity time and/or socializing!
Children are very welcome! As the Lessons and Activities are often for the children.
If you're wanting a deeper, more philosophical, without the distractions of small to teenage children, then you might want to attend the Family Home Evening Group that meets just up the street at Tom Burke's house.
On the 2nd Mondays of every month we meet at the Lynnwood Stake Center, in the Relief Society Room) for a larger, more massive (combined) Family Home Evening, where several FHE Groups get together.
For directions look for "Everett Ensign House, L.L.C" on Facebook or go to http://eehllc.blogspot.com. (Do NOT trust GPS, Google Maps or Yahoo Maps, they will all send you to a house with a similar address that is SE instead of SW! This is because the Everett Ensign House construction is so new that it hasn't been added to these services. It takes about 5 years for them to register a new housing community.)
WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THIS MONDAY!!!

07/27/2009 FHE 8
I was afraid that this young lady might trip over Dakota when she walked across the room in the middle of Tom's Lesson.
07/27/2009 FHE 7
Heather always full of great comments.
07/27/2009 FHE 6
Tom is Dakota's Sunday School Teacher at Church. Makes you wonder if Tom puts Dakota to sleep with his Sunday School Lessons too. Hee, hee, hee!

07/20/2009 FHE 28
Reily's going to help himself during Heather's announcements.

Still, more announcements by Heather.
07/20/2009 FHE 26
Enjoying conversations and socializing.
07/20/2009 FHE 25
Continuing about Dan and children... just give them some attention and they will love you ten fold! Dan has learned that one of the fastest ways to get children to laugh is by tickling them. This is why he is affectionately known by his Nieces and Nephews as "The Uncle that likes to tickle" or "The Tickle Monster".
07/20/2009 FHE 24
Reily saught Dan out and asked him to hold him on his lap again. This happens with Dan and children a lot because Dan remembers what it was like to be a child, starving for attention and having to compete with 6 brothers and sisters for attention.
07/20/2009 FHE 23
Even though Dan moved to the opposite side of the room, Reily remembers Dan and makes his way towards him, maybe looking for more candy.
07/20/2009 FHE 22
Socializing time. (John interrupts Dan and Brecca's conversation.)
07/20/2009 FHE 21
Dan took a seat next to Brecca to make sure that she was okay with him picking up her son and holding Reily on his lap. Brecca said that she was fine with it.
07/20/2009 FHE 20
Announcements, announcements, announcements!
07/20/2009 FHE 19
Heather, our Female Single Adult Representative for the Beverly Park Ward, has a few more announcements of upcoming activities to give.
07/20/2009 FHE 18
SALSA TIME!!! Everyone's inhaling the AWESOME Tortilla Chips and Salsa!
07/20/2009 FHE 17
These Tortilla Chips and Salsa that Tanya brought were grubbin'!!! (1980's slang for AWESOME FOOD!)
07/20/2009 FHE 16
Now it's SALSA TIME for sure as you can see in this photo that Amy is no longer giving the lesson, as she is now eating Tortilla Chips and Salsa.
07/20/2009 FHE 15
What? It's not over yet? Not Salsa time yet?
07/20/2009 FHE 14
Lesson's over, it's SALSA TIME!!! YIPPEE!!!
07/20/2009 FHE 13
Ladies, please don't be afraid to bring your little ones, most of the men here don't have children of their own, or they don't get to play with their own children often enough. I quote the Savior Jesus Christ when I say, "...Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God." in Luke 18:16
07/20/2009 FHE 12
Despite Amy's best efforts to keep things quiet and reverent during her well prepared and very spiritual lesson, we are mostly a casual bunch that enjoys a lot of fun distractions from children.
07/20/2009 FHE 11
As the lesson nears the end, Reily decides to help himself to all of the Goodies (including Salsa and Tortilla Chips) on the Coffee Table.
07/20/2009 FHE 10
With the lesson almost over and a sugar high about to start to kick in, Reily starts to wiggle free from Dan. Hee hee hee!
07/20/2009 FHE 9
Dan kept Reily quiet for most of the lesson, but alas, all good things must come to an end
07/20/2009 FHE 8
Dan's keeping Reily quiet with candy so that Amy can continue with her lesson.
07/20/2009 FHE 7
Same camera angle as the last 2 photos, but in this photo Reily (sitting on Dan's lap) turned his head and is looking towards the camera, so it is the best one so far of Reily!
07/20/2009 FHE 6
Same camera angle as the last photo, but this time Charlie is leaning forward so that we have a clear view of Amy from Mountlake Terrace, WA
