Last Monday was President's Day so the kids didn't have to go to school!  I took Sarah and Megan over to the indoor tennis courts in the morning.  Cheyenne, Beth, and Ben came, too just to run around.  It was pretty fun.  Although, I didn't find the heater button until just before we were leaving so I was froze while Meg and Sarah worked up a sweat!  When we got back, all the girls (except Bethany who stayed with Ben and I) went to see a movie, Rise of the Guardians.  Savannah drove!  I didn't even have to venture forth.  I love that!  They all had a really good time together.

On Tuesday, Megan and Dad had a basketball game.  They won!  Later that evening, all four of my young women went to the church activity which was ballroom dancing with the young men!  They had a great time.  Megan said that her hands were cold when she started but the guy's hands were really warm so they started sweating.  She then told me that because of that, she figured out that the purpose of dancing was to exchange hand sweat.  LOL.  That sounds decidedly unromantic.

On Wednesday, Cali and Cheyenne had a special part in their school program.  The third grade decided to honor the couple that wrote their school song.  That couple lives in our ward, so Cali and Cheyenne were asked to interview them and introduce them to the rest of the third grade.  They did a great job!  We practiced with them at home telling them LOUDER!  or SLOW DOWN!  They didn't really love having us yell at them, but I think it helped them feel more confident.  It was a neat experience for them.

On Thursday, Megan and Dad had another basketball game.  They won again!  Thursday was also Cali and Cheyenne's LAST basketball game!  They are sad.  They thought they wouldn't get to play basketball again for a whole year!  Dad was quick to correct them.  Now that they've played a season of basketball they have to practice!  They sure are the cutest basketball players on the 3rd grade court!

Friday we went to watch Kevin's men's game at the church.  It was very intense.  Two men got ejected.  Kevin got knocked to the ground.  I think maybe I won't go again!  Our team lost but they will still get to play in the regional tournament in a couple of weekends.  Go team!  Don't die!

Saturday we went to the BYU Women's basketball game at the Marriott Center.  It was their last home game!  Savannah couldn't come because she had to work.  We brought everyone else, though!  Beth and Ben were pretty miserable but they were pretty good sports.  Cali and Cheyenne watched more than usual!  Sarah's junior high team met there to watch the game, too, so she sat on the other side of the arena and we waved at each other.  All our kids went down to the floor to do the chicken dance, though!  That was their favorite part!

The game was pretty awesome to watch, too.  BYU lost but Gonzaga was a good team and all the playing was really good!  Afterwards, we took everyone to Brick Oven.  Love, love, love the pizza there!!!!

It was a fun week!
