Hey!  We got another of these banners on our house this year!  This year, Sarah is our varsity athlete during Homecoming week.  She is pretty proud.  We are all pretty proud!

Sarah also turned seventeen this week!  Time is going so fast!  We had a party for her at Grandma and Grandpa Gazdik's house and had cake and presents.  It was traditional and fun!  Afterward, she went to her school's homecoming light parade with a few of her friends.  Fun times!


 

The big tennis news belongs to Megan this week.  Friday was the JV Regional Finals!  Megan and her partner Alyssa are 2nd JV doubles.  They started play around 10am Friday morning in Heber -- an hour away.  They won 8-3.  Then they played again at 1 where they just barely lost 7-8.  She played again at 4 and won.  Then played again at 6 but lost.  That had them finishing in fourth place!  Ben and I came and watched the first two matches where she played just GREAT.  Kevin was there the whole day assisting the coach.  They didn't get back until 9:00 at night.  Was Meg burned out?  Well, the next day it rained and Megan was bummed.  Why?  Because she wanted to go play tennis!


Mariah ran another cross country race on Friday.  With the tennis tournament in Heber, Kevin and I couldn't get there.  Grandma and Grandpa Gazdik went, though and said, "That girl is fast!"  She placed 2nd and had a great race.



Cali and Chey had a field trip this week where their whole class got to go to the recreation center in Provo.  In the morning they rock climbed and played wall ball and basketball and racquetball.  In the afternoon they got to go swimming.  Calianne even tried the cliff jumping!  They had a great time!  I went to their parent-teacher conference this week and their teachers love them and say they are great girls and great students.  I knew it!

Bethany continues to enjoy school and the extra attention she gets for studying Chinese.  She likes her jazz class, too.  The only trouble we have is fitting in time for her homework with her very busy social life!  We are knee-deep in friends for that little girl.

Benjamin had Joy School at our house this week!  We learned that it is a good thing that nature obeys laws and its a good thing when we obey laws too.  We also learned that our choices are connected to the way we feel!  What Ben really liked was having all his friends over to his house where he could be in charge and show off his toys!

Savannah came over for dinner tonight and she brought her roommate so we could meet her!  Her name is Joanna and her dad is in the military so she has lived in LOTS of different places.  We really liked her.  She was tons of fun.


On Saturday, we got a visit from Grandpa Skinner and Maria.  That was great fun!  They even stayed for steak and potato dinner.  We always love to spend time with them.
