We had a four-day school week this week.  Thursday was the end of the term. I am happy to report that we had much less stress this term at its close than last.  That was a relief!  Everyone did really well.  I guess they are more used to their classes now!

Savannah worked a couple of days this week.  Funfinity has been closed for remodeling so the employees have been going in to help with packing and moving and whatnot.  She has enjoyed that, too!  She finished her classes better than she had hoped so she was happy and we are happy with her hard work!

Sarah started tennis with Craig again this week.  Those are the groups that I’ve had the kids do before out at the indoor courts in Spanish Fork.  Sarah is driving herself now!!!  I love it and so do the moms of the two friends she is driving with her to do tennis, as well!  She has picked up a job doing scorekeeping for the city rec basketball games.  It is only once or twice a week.  I think it is great that she can earn some money without taking away from her other activities – like her good grades in her hard classes at school!

Megan had games on Monday and Thursday.  She is sure having fun!  This is good because, as I have mentioned previously, she hates going to school.  In spite of this, she still rocked the house with her straight A's.  I got a picture of her team at the game. . .

She got her new "warm-ups" too!

  They even have her name on them!

Mariah had basketball games on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday this week.  She won all of them!  Her team played great, and so did she!  (Their coach was pleased!)  She also had a choir concert since her choir class ended on Thursday.  She told me it would be awful.  I wasn't at all surprised that it was quite the opposite!  I love to watch her sing!

 

Cheyenne and Calianne had their first basketball game of the year on Thursday.  They have both improved greatly from last year.  Their coach was pleased, too! (That would be me!)  So, if you've been paying attention, Cali, Chey, Mariah, and Megan all had basketball games Thursday night AND they were all at 5!  We ended up at Megan's game to watch the end of it, so I got a pic of all the ball players!

Friday night Cali and Chey made a tent out of blankets in our TV room.  It stayed all weekend! They had friends over Saturday and played in it all day.  They are great at make-believe!

This is a little town that Chey made out of paper. To the left is the temple!

Bethany went back to ballet on Tuesday and is happy, happy to be back in Kindergarten!  She also played in the tent house all weekend with her big sisters!

Benjamin and I are hanging out at home.  When the temperature is above freezing, we sometimes go for a walk.  About halfway through he will lay down on the ground and say, "We are sooo lost! We're going to die.". This cracks me up since we are never that far from home.  Geez!  Also, he has slipped on the ice a few times and he thinks that is great fun!  He LIKES to slip on ice.  Crazy kid.  Sometimes he does it on purpose for the pure fun of it!  He makes me laugh.

Kevin has been recording lessons for work.  They are keeping him very busy!  He's glad to still have time to coach both teams Mariah is on this year, though!

I am trying to keep up with everybody else!
