Well, it was the week of the science fair! Here is Sarah and her friend Allyson with their display board all about pennies. The picture was taken Monday (science fair was on Tuesday) and Sarah was dressed for her basketball game that afternoon!

Here, also, is Megan with her display board on beaches. We took her pic just before school Tuesday. They all did a great job and I was impressed with all of us that we managed to get it all done before the deadline! Hurrah!

Megan and Sarah had two baskeball games this week. They continue to do well and Kevin continues to have fun coaching them. Mariah and I had a game this week, too. Mariah scored some more baskets! She is doing really well. I decided that coaching is bad for my health! This last game really stressed me out with a girl who was badly fouling my girls! I am going to focus on having more fun next game!

Friday was the teddy bear picnic in Cheyenne and Calianne's class. Bethany and I were invited to attend. We sat on a blanket with C&C and their teddy bears and listened to the class recite some things they had been learning and sing some songs. Then we got to glue 100 dots on a giant paper teddy bear and drink juice and eat cheese and crackers. It was great fun. What could be better than Kindergarten?

On Saturday, we had orchestra in the morning again. Both Megan and Mariah are doing a lot better and are able to play along throughout most of the pieces now. I am pleased. It is definitely worth the long drive. We are listening to an audio book as we drive and we always stop for a treat on our way home. It's fun.

Also on Saturday, we took Cheyenne to the dollar store for her time alone with Mom and Dad. She just couldn't stop smiling as she walked through the store choosing something to buy. She finally chose one thing (ring pops) and Kevin told her that she could pick out two more. "OK!" she says with a bigger smile. She is a careful chooser, that girl. After careful consideration, she chose a bag of play rings and a crown. It was precious to spend time with that sweet girl.

Saturday afternoon, we took all the girls (and Sarah's friend Allyson) to the women's BYU basketball game against UNLV. We won (by quite a lot) I am happy to say! Those ladies play some great basketball! We had super seats, of course, since no one goes to women's basketball games and the older girls really enjoyed watching the whole game. They even got their pictures flashed up on the big screen a couple of times and they hammed it up by dancing and waving. Cheyenne and Calianne sat on either side of me and they took turns asking me if it was over yet and telling me how bored they were. Although, Cosmo (the BYU mascot) did help liven things up for them. Bethany entertained herself by taking on and off her shoes. . .

After the game, Kevin took us all out to dinner. He said, "We could go to Arby's or out for Chinese food, or we could go to Brick Oven. . ." At which point he was unanimously shouted down, "BRICK OVEN!!" So, look at us! We went to Brick Oven two weeks in a row! That IS fun!

Here is all of us at the game. It was a really fun day!
