Here's our track star! Savannah had a meet at Springville High, behind our house, so of course, we all went to watch. She's been running the mile. She ran it just under 7 minutes. That was on Tuesday. On Friday she had another meet -- her last before the district meet next week. The coaches announced that if she wanted to be in the race where she could earn points for her team, she'd have to run the mile in 6:30 or less. Just give the girl a goal, I guess! She ran it in 6:31 and her coaches said they'd let her in. One more week of track! It's been fun!
This weekend we went to St. George to see Kevin's brother, Jake, get married to his girlfriend Sarah. She looked stunning and the setting was very beautiful, next to a pool with Southern Utah's red cliffs in the back. I wish I could show you a picture, but my camera got dropped on the concrete while we were at aforementioned trackmeet and for some reason, it doesn't work anymore! It is really too bad, because it was an almost complete gathering of Kevin's Dad's side of the family. We saw uncles and aunts and cousins and Grandmas and Grandpas, too! Maybe someone will send us a copy of that picture they took of all of us! That would be grand, indeed.
After the wedding, there was a reception and we got to visit with the family while our girls took the opportunity to swim in the indoor pool next door. We stayed there that night in a super nice three-room condo. What comfort and convenience, eh?
On the way home, we got to stop by my sister, Margaret's house in Cedar City. My brother-in-law, Rick graduated with his bachelor's degree this weekend. Kudos to Rick! So, we got to see my sister and her family, and because of the graduation, we also got to see my mom and dad and my sister Amy's family again. How fun for us!
As for our basement project, I didn't get as far as I'd hoped. It turned out that I taught preschool, so I had less time and I didn't get to the project until Friday. Then I ran into an obstacle in the form of old carpet glue. I will tackle it again this week.
Preschool was letter V. What fun since we could do V is for Violin! We looked at the violin and I played it and we read stories about fiddlers. We made a little pipe-cleaner guy with a paper fiddle. On Thursday we learned about a full orchestra. Then we sidetracked a little and did V is also for Vine and we read Jack and the Beanstalk and then made dandelion curly vines in the backyard. It was fun AND it was my last time teaching this year! Wow! I can sit back and relax for the rest of the month!
I also got to spend some one-on-one time with Sarah this week. We went to my favorite store and got her some clothes for summer. It was good for us to have a whole afternoon together! She is such a terrific girl.
