We started and ended this week with performances!  Tuesday after school was Mariah’s last week of Ukulele Club and they had a short performance for parents.  Mariah can sure play that ukulele!

She remembers those chords and we already know that she loves to sing.  It is so fun to watch her do something that she is having so much fun doing and doing so well!  I’m looking forward to hearing more and more from her and that ukulele.

On Tuesday, we had some nice weather that made us hope for spring!  It was good timing, too because Megan, Sarah, and Savannah went with the youth of the church to hike the Y!  They brought the camera but the batteries were dead.  No pictures for us!  But they had a great time!  Yay for the strength of youth!  (<—that was a funny joke, huh?) 

My mother-in-law watched the little ones for me on Thursday, and I didn’t really have any grocery shopping to do, so I contented myself with ripping out the carpet in the hallway.  I wanted to see what the wood floor underneath would look like!  It looks terrible.  Just so you know.  Still, it would look good with a good sanding and some polish – I think.  But, we had a family pow wow, and I was voted down.  So, new carpet it will be!  And thanks to my energies on Thusday, it will be pretty soon because the floor looks really terrible right now.  Heh, heh!  Nothing like a little motivation!  :)

So, on Saturday, we heard that Kevin’s brother Michael and family would be in Provo to watch his sister-in-law, Devyn Christensen play for the Utah State Aggies against the BYU women Cougars!  So, we rounded up the fans and went to watch, too.  It was great fun to see Michael and Aftyn and finally see Devyn play.  Let me tell you, she plays worthy of all the admiration from her family.  She was great to watch!

Grandpa was there at the game, too.  So we got to sit by him and then bring him home for some Bethany loving.  She is good at that, you know!

Grandpa also got to come see Savannah’s play!  Saturday was closing night, so Kevin and I and Grandpa came for the final curtain call.  Everybody did fabulous again!  It was such fun!  Savannah says that she had a great time doing the play but is kind of glad that it’s over.  It was a lot of work!  At least this week, she still had a bit of time to do this:

She’s actually reading a retelling of The Princess and the Pea while she sits in that thar tree.  Funny, huh?  I guess she hasn’t had too much of it to be tired of the story line!

What a star that Savannah girl is . . .

  

 

Way to go, Savannah!  We are so proud of you!  Bravo! (Bravisimo, Bravo! ♫ La, la, la, la, la . . .)
