This cute girl had her choir concert this Wednesday.  She had so much fun!  In eighth grade the girls are in an all-girl choir for a semester.  There were about 60 girls this year and Sarah had fun with all of them!  They were all so animated and sang with super energy.  Sarah's favorite song was when they sang, "Forget about the Boy," from Thoroughly Modern Millie.  If you want to see it, Kevin posted it on Facebook.  Go watch it!  You'll love it!  We did.

Savannah sang again this week, too, although I didn't get to see it.  They did so well at festival that they went back to compete again.  Fun times!  She had to work that afternoon once she got back, and she was pretty tired, but she made it!  I was working in the garden when she breezed back home, changed into her choir dress, then breezed back to school.  Have I mentioned that I love living so close to all the schools?

Benjamin's new thing is not only to play with his toy cars, but also to play with real cars.  He likes to play inside the cars!  Whenever he accidentally hits the car horn, he looks up and waves excitedly -- and I take a picture.  It is very cute.  Way cuter than when we drag him out kicking and screaming and he doesn't stop until we put him in his crib to "calm down."

 On Thursday this week, Ben went and got his dad in order to drag him out to the shed and point meaningfully at the lawn mower.  His dad obediently acquiesced.  Then Ben followed him around while he mowed.  It was very funny (to me!).

It was a beautiful week and we were able to be outside for most of it.  One day I couldn't find Bethany.  That doesn't usually happen since she is a bit like a second shadow.  ("I want to be with you, Mommy!")  I found her in the back yard sitting in the hammock chair blowing bubbles.  What a lovely way to pass the time!  She is a girl after my own heart.

We had Mother's Day today.  Kevin spoke in sacrament meeting!  He did great!  The whole meeting was wonderful.  Afterward, we had barbecue in the backyard with Grandma and Grandpa.  It was way fun!  The day was beautiful.  What a great way to spend mother's day!
