We spent the first part of this week staring at computer screens that looked like this!  This is Megan's high school schedule and we have it just about exactly how we want it, though it took some work!  We worked on Sarah's, too and have hers how we want it now.  I love how we can switch everything around ourselves!  I think I will, thank you!  We went to the high school and talked to counselors and to the new junior high.  We found Mariah's locker and even though we can't open it, we still think it will turn out to be fun to be in a brand new school! We are gearing up for school!

Monday was the first day of tennis try-outs for Sarah and Megan!  They both made the team (yay!) and have been playing 8-10 every morning M-Sa and 5-7 every evening M-Th.  It is tennis overload week!!   They are super excited to be on the team.  Both their doubles partners made the team as well.  Sarah and her partner may even be on Varsity.  Kevin and I are super pleased with all their hard work and subsequent success.


In addition to all that tennis, because other employees were on vacation this week, Sarah worked EVERY DAY at Funfinity Monday through Saturday -- 26 hours!!  Holy Shamoly!  It was hard on her!  She made it through, though, and (mostly) kept a great attitude.  What a trooper! 


Megan was also doing something in addition to tennis.  This was her second and final week of bluegrass camp which was an hour a day.  I've been having her practice driving on our way there and back.  She got a super big thrill this week when she got her own keys!


Kevin and I got to go to her concert on Friday evening of this week and boy was it some boot-stomping fun!!  I don't think I stopped smiling the whole concert.  I just love that kind of music!  Megan did great and looked so lovely.  She even SANG!!




Savannah made it back to work this week about every other day for half-days each.  She still gets tired out really easily but she is trying hard to make a comeback.  She even went out with her friends from Funfinity for some traditional mac and cheese for lunch on Friday.  On Saturday she got a call from Ana Smith, her childhood friend, who happened to be in Springville, and they went out to lunch and got a chance to visit.  What a fun thing!

The younger kids and I went to the splash pad on Tuesday and had a picnic!  Yay for the little kids getting something to do!  Mariah came too.  She and I just read our books, though!



On Thursday, Grandma Gazdik came and took all the kids (except the three oldest) to the mall and got them some new clothes!  Then she took them back to her house for lunch and some chores (to earn the new clothes)!  They all had a great time!



The other fun thing we did was on Saturday we went to the Spanish Fork Reservoir!  Again we left the three oldest at home, but this time, we brought DAD!  The sky was overcast but the swimming was still good!
