Oh, got to go, kids are wanting their mommy

check out the fun things to do on our Utah Kids Club calendar and make it a Christmas Season NEVER to Forget!

www.UtahKidsClub.com 

I almost forgot!  We’re announcing winners of the Christmas Sweepstakes on our facebook page tomorrow!!  Winners have 48 hours to respond….be watching.

Yes, I hit the Black Friday Sales…first time ever, I did pretty good though.  Got all the toys for my little ones at 1/2 off.  Now the hard part, DAD.  What to get Dad??? His presents cost more than Fisher Price toys.  I wish I had more money.

Then I remembered the Christmas that I got 500 bucks for getting my flu shots done….remember when I did that?

It’s through a company called Jean Brown.  They give the same shots, immunizations as the pediatricians, ONLY they follow up a few months down the road to make sure your shots are working  AND if your child gets sick during the season, you can take them to the Jean Brown Doctors, NO Co-Pay or anything, for check-ups.  It’s a sweet deal, only, it fills up REAL Quick.

So check out the info and then call to schedule.  801-261-2000

Pediatric Immunizations for 11-16 year olds.  FREE shots, plus $250.00 per child (or teen, I guess)

Pediatric Immunizations for 10-12 year olds, FREE shots plus $100.00-$300.00 per child.

When I went, they were doing the flu shots for little ones, like 6 months old to 3 years old, so both my boys at the time qualified and we got 250 for each…total 500.00 bucks.  Do you know how many toys $500.00 will buy little tikes???  It was an Awesome Christmas

Who wants FREE Fomula???  Or know someone who could benefit from it?

This came in a lot quicker than we thought–

Call Jean Brown for all the details.  They are working with a formula company to feed babies, starting at 14 days old, til I believe they turn 4 months old.   They should have the formula the mid to end of December, so if you know someone delivering in the next bit, pass along the info  by the time they get the formula, the baby will be the perfect 14 days old!
*They want mothers who cannot breast feed, or for some reason choose not to breast feed, first.

The number again is 801-261-2000.

I just wish they were doing something for little guys right now….but all you with older kido’s, enjoy!  AND call now, so the slots don’t fill up

Make it an awesome Christmas!  I’ll keep my eyes and ears pealed for more holiday fun and post it to the event calendar for ya.

Hi Guys,
I was going to write the weekly email with all the fun, free things going on….and then I thought that would be a waste of my time,  since most of you got the FREE turkey membership anyway.

Have FUN

I’m so happy!  Last night I took my 2 boys, 3 years old and 4 years old, to Disney On Ice.

We lasted the whole show!   A full 2 hours on the edges of their seats.  They laughed when Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy came out on the ice.  There were skits from Aladin, Snow White, Peter Pan, Tangled…the Lion King was AWESOME with all the different animals they brought.  The colors totally shifted when we went “Under the Sea” with the Little Mermaid.

I’m personally still trying to figure out how Pumba (the pig in Lion King) skated on all 4 feet.  And the crocodille from Peter Pan was super cool.

I know you’re just going to LOVE the show–remember to mention Utah Kids Club when you call to book your tickets.  *Phone number listed on the Discount Directory*
