The streets have finally cleared of snow and wet, and Megan has been able to take her longboard (the one she got for Christmas) out for some cruising!  She's already pretty good at it since she has practiced on her friends' boards.  She looks pretty stylin' with it, don't you think?

Sarah had her last junior high basketball game this week.  They almost won it, even!  They came back from a big deficit at the half to within two points in the third quarter!  They were playing great!  It is always such fun to watch her.  She's had a great time making close friends with everyone on the team.  They will always have great memories to share!  Now Sarah has no idea what to do with her time after school!  She misses all her friends!

Here's some great pictures of her at her game, too!

So, in other basketball news, Mariah had two games on Monday and won both by a LOT.  Megan had games on Tuesday and Thursday and won both.  The twins also had a game on Thursday and they don't keep score so we just all laughed and cheered them on!  They are learning a lot!  Kevin also played Friday night.  The other team didn't have enough players, so they split up and played two twenty minutes half, with no subs for anybody.  That's hard work!  K.B. was worn out!  I played with some women Thursday morning, too.  I loved it.  Basketball is so fun.

Mariah also had the science fair this week in which to participate.  She measured the number of chirps a desert locust (grasshopper of Utah) makes in a minute on different nights to see if it was affected by the temperature.  (Which it is by the way!)  It was nice, because she gathered most of her data in the summer when things were still pretty laid back around here.  The conclusion and poster were easy to put together when science fair time came.  Love that!  So did Mariah!  And apparently, so did the judge.  She got first place.  Poor child!  She really did not want to move on to the next round where she'll have to present in front of even more judges!  Ah well.  If she gets a medal she thinks it might be worth it.  In anycase, we are proud of her.

Calianne and Cheyenne left us this weekend to go live at Grandma and Grandpa's house for a little while.  They left Friday afternoon and didn't come back until Saturday evening!  They sure had fun.  I think Grandma and Grandpa had fun, too!

Savannah had a crazy busy week.  Her store's owner went out of town which always means that he takes his own two teen daughters off the schedule.  The result was that instead of working three days, she worked five.  That's awfully hard when you need to get homework done and maybe you'd like a little downtime of your own!  Saturday was especially bad since she had her ACT prep class from 9 to noon, then she had a choir rehearsal for their upcoming concert from noon to 2:30, and then she had to be at work from 3 to 7:20.  Yah.  She was wiped out when she got home.  My poor daughter who needs to recharge with some time alone could not buy an hour of daylight this week!  :(  We are hoping next week will be better!
