No pictures this week!  Can you believe it?

It was the last week of tennis for Cali, Chey, and Beth.

It was the first week of high school tennis for Sarah which meant tryouts!  Tryouts were Monday thru Thursday for 2.5 hours in the morning and 2.5 hours in the evening.  In between Sarah was too tired to do anything so she told me she felt like a lazy blob.  I said, "Um . . . No!"  Funny, huh, that she can do five hours of tennis a day and feel lazy.  She also finished reading A Separate Peace for her high school reading assignment.  Way to go, Sarah!  She did in fact make the team and had practices Friday and Saturday, too.  She is having a great time.

Megan went to tryouts on Monday and Tuesday, but Coach Flood wanted to focus on the other girls so she didn't go after that.  She is planning on playing tennis for the junior high.  She got pretty sore from those first couple of days, though!

Savannh's cross country team held a Cross Country Camp this year for the first time ever.  It was pretty cool!  On Thursday they met in the afternoon, split up into teams, and went on a city-wide scavenger hunt.  What a fun way to go for a run, eh?  That evening they had a barbecue and inspirational talk at a team member's house.  The next morning they met at the high school and were driven up to Shadow Mountain, which, if you will remember, is where the fifth-graders have their summer camp every year.  There they went on more runs, had more inspirational talks, spent the night, went for another run, and were inspired some more.  She got home Saturday afternoon completely exhausted, but she had a really good time.  I offered to take her picture, but she declined!

I don't remember anything that I did.  I cleaned the house a lot -- not that you can tell.  Although if I didn't ever clean the house, then you definitely would be able to tell!  I did laundry.  I took people places.  Mariah went to the dentist.  Megan had another violin lesson with Monte Belknap.  The twins went to a birthday party.  For YW we picked up clothes for the clothing swap on Saturday. Oh, and I took Sarah and Megan school clothes shopping.  I also completed the "finishing touch" on my kitchen -- and I actually did take a picture.  What do you think?

We didn't actually go to the clothing swap on Saturday as that was the time that Kevin took Sarah, Megan, and Mariah to their weekly 3 on 3 basketball training in Orem.  Actually it is only four weeks long and this was the second week.  The girls like it alright.  Kevin LOVES it.  He says he learned more in one hour about coaching than he has learned the whole time he's been a coach.  Cool, right? That afternoon he had a chance to take Megan and Mariah over to the high school to practice what they'd been learning with a team of 6th grade boys.  He loved that, too.  It is a great way for the girls to increase their skills!

Probably the biggest news of the week has actually inspired me to go out and take a picture!  Through a series of fortunate events, Savannah now has a car to drive (and Sarah will, too, in a month and a half)!  It is a 1981 Toyota Tercel stick shift.  The windows even roll down manually -- which the girls thought was super cool!  I think it is a great blessing and will make our schedules all roll a little more smoothly when school starts in a week or two!
