Last Sunday was Father's Day! We love our dad! Who else could keep up with all these kids?
I forgot to mention last week that Savannah worked two 12 hour days in order to go camping with us the last part of the week! I was impressed and so glad she did the extra work to be with us. Also, while we were camping, when a grandpa passed us with his grandchildren and saw my daughters reading their books, he told his grandchildren, "This is also where the literary society holds their meetings." Ha, ha! It's true. My daughters see camping as the perfect time to read books! They camp like I do!
The big news of the week is that my sister, Diane, came to visit! She came on Tuesday afternoon and stayed until Thursday morning while her husband did some work in Salt Lake. It was so fun! She brought her two little boys, Liam and Ezra, and we visited and let the kids play with their cousins and even braved a trip to the splash pad. I'm so glad she came!
Savannah got to go back to eight-hour days this week and continues to help BYU program their computer systems. She had her interview with the Stake President last Sunday and her mission papers are now "processing" in Salt Lake City! We could have her call as early as the end of this week!
Sarah continued to work at Funfinity this week. She also practiced tennis every morning on her own and practiced tennis with the high schoolers at night when she could. She also did score keeping one night this week. She did squeeze some fun in there, too, with a couple of trips to the reservoir with her friends.
Megan ran cross country every morning again this week! Their trail run this week was up to Stewart Falls above Sundance ski resort. She said it was beautiful (but tough on the ankles)! She also played tennis every evening with the high schoolers and had a private tennis lesson and played tennis with her friend once this week, too. She wonders why she is so tired! On Friday, I stole her away and we went to the DMV where she became an official licensed driver.
Mariah went to a basketball camp at the University of Utah this week with the high school team. They stayed in a hotel close to campus and played eight games Monday thru Thursday! Mariah had a great time although she thought the campus had way too much red and not enough blue. On Thursday, she got home around noon and then about an hour later, her dad took her back up to Salt Lake for a tournament with her Schapers team. She played four more games there and her team placed third in the tournament. Holy Cow! That girl loves her basketball!

Calianne and Cheyenne had Shadow Mountain this week! They left Thursday morning on a bus that took them and a whole bunch of their fifth-grade girlfriends up Hobble Creek Canyon for two nights and three days of fun! They went on a seven-mile hike and took the "polar plunge" and played on a gigantic slip-and-slide and heard scary stories and made crafts and lots of other stuff. They had a great time and were super exhausted when they got home! I'm so glad they got the chance to go.
They also had their last softball game this week the night before they left. They won 16 to 3 and were so elated to be winning their final game! They loved playing softball this season and made great memories with their Dad!
Benjamin loved playing with Liam this week. It was fun to have him even for just a day! Benjamin also had his last kickball game this week. He says it's hot and it makes him tired, but when he talks with his sisters, he's super proud that he has a sport, too. He even tells us he needs to go practice (even though he doesn't)! So, he had a good time doing it and he even has another medal now to hang on his wall.
What a week! I love summer.
