Seriously?  Is that crazy or what?  Six little boys gathered at my house to play!  We've had that many (and more!) little girls gathered at our house to play.  We have even had the random boy or two who couldn't find any better group to hang out with, but SIX boys and not a girl in sight?  Never.  I thought it was great!  But I also thought it was great that they could all play outside and not come in. :)  Ben is the little guy on the left with the Batman hat on.  He loves it when his friends come over to play.

Bethany had a good week going back to her dance classes and going back to school.  She was probably the happiest to go back to school because she missed her teachers.  Friday night she called her Grandma and Grandpa Gazdik to see if she could sleep over.  They had a great time with that sweet little girl!

Cali and Cheyenne had their last rehearsal for Up With Kids.  They perform this coming week!  They also had their first softball team practice.  Kevin is coach but a plethora of adult volunteers this year makes it so he has three assistant coaches, or in Kevin's hands: a pitching coach, a batting coach, and a fielding coach.  His assistant coaches played college baseball/softball.  It's going to be a great experience for Cali and Chey!  They also had a "Fashion Disaster" Day at school.  I thought they looked great!

Mariah had her first practice with the Schapers team.  They practiced for two hours and Kevin watched.  He said the coach had a whistle and ran the practice like clockwork.  Mariah said it felt kind of like being in the army!  She also played in games on Monday and Thursday with other teams.  She had another track meet on Friday and placed first in the mile!  She babysat Saturday night and afterwards had fun with her sisters watching a movie together.

Megan had track practice all week and also got to go to a Chinese festival at BYU during one of her days at school.  Her team placed second in character recognition!  She and Josh went to the temple together to do baptisms Friday afternoon.  I'm thinking she's pretty lucky because I've been working all week on her prom dress--adding sleeves and panels front and back!

Sarah worked several times this week and is everyone's favorite person with whom to work!  (Okay.  Not everyone.  But really close!)  We can see why since we love having her here at home, too.  She had tennis on Friday and came to the play of one of my Beehives on Saturday afternoon--as did Megan, Mariah, and friend, Jessica.  It was fun!

Savannah's friend, Miranda, came home from her mission a couple of weeks ago and their reunion was full of hugs and squealing!  It's been fun to see them together again.  Savannah finished up classes this week and will take her finals in the next few days!  She wrote a poem about bearing up and finishing well and she distributed her poem all over campus!

Kevin continues to be healthy and look amazing and keep up a blazing pace!  We will be glad when these classes he is teaching on Wednesday and Thursday nights are done, though!

I worked on Megan's dress and worked on my novel and my short story and despaired of my wallpaper ever arriving from FedEx.  I miss, miss, miss having a front room and a house that can occasionally be all put together tidy and lovely-like.  *sigh* Just a little longer, Katy.  You'll manage!  Lol!
