Family Goals


Each year we try to spend some time in a Family Home Evening to set some goals for the year.  We try to remember to check in on them quarterly to evaluate how we are doing.  Even though some of them tend to go by the wayside (bedtimes comes to mind), we have also found great success with others.   Some years we have set a goal to invite people over for game nights or dinner.  Some years we have had a "learn about the apostles" night monthly where we learned some interesting facts about the men we sustain each General Conference.   Here are the ones we came up with this year.



Foulk Family Goals – 2013

Bedtimes Set -
Evan – 9:00
Nathan – 10:30 (probationary)
Megan – no later than midnight or mom and dad

Family Book Reading -
Chronicles of Narnia – Starting with The Magician's Nephew

Family Game or Movie Night – twice monthly

Family Scripture Study Plan
Finish Book of Mormon Reader/Book of Mormon
Read Old Testament Reader/Old Testament
Start Reading just Book of Mormon

Review Goals Quarterly

Individual Goals
Steve- Read a book
Jill – Read a book every two months
Megan – Read, "Team of Rivals"
Nathan- Get straight "A's"
Evan - Keep my room clean

By the looks of this stack of just some of our books, it is a good thing we are setting some reading goals.  These were moved off our family room shelves while the room was being carpeted.

  2. Good luck! I babysat some kids today and they were WAY into the Chronicles of Narnia. It was pretty funny.
