Last Sunday, we were treated to a scripture skit by our youngest four.  That is King Benjamin that you see up on that stool and families who set up their tents to listen to him gathered in front.  It was pretty awesome!

Sarah got to attend a banquet at UVU for Sterling Scholars on Thursday night.  Kevin and I got to go, too!  We had a lovely dinner and got to talk with the dean of the Education college (since that is what Sarah would like to study) and heard talks from UVU people.  It was fun to be treated special for the recognition that she received.  She is a pretty awesome girl!

Megan has started training for the track season.  She stays after school some days and on other days comes home and uses our treadmill.  She is enjoying that new addition to our home and has it going faster than I ever will!  She also worked Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday night she and Sarah went over to the high school to watch the final events in the Mr. Springville competition.  They had a great time cheering for the boys!

Mariah had games Tuesday and Friday.  I always say "games" because our school always has a JV game, then a Varsity game, and then a Sophomore game.  Mariah plays in the JV game and in the Sophomore game.  I got to watch her on Friday and she is playing great.  They won all their games that day.  We also got her some contacts to try out this week.  It's a new thing for her and she's not sure she likes it, yet, so we shall see!  Mariah also got the chance to sing with her school choir at a BYU men's basketball game on Thursday night.  Kevin went, too.  BYU won by 20 and they had a great time.

Cheyenne and Calianne played basketball games Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday with practice on Thursday.  They are loving playing so much and loving the time with their dad.  He is impressed with the progress they've made and they're all having a great time winning games!  Poor Cali had stomach flu on Saturday and Cheyenne had to entertain herself and go to the basketball game without her constant companion and friend!  We are all glad she is feeling better!

Bethany's school had "Walk for Wishes" this week which meant that they spent their recess time walking to earn pledges to buy books for kids in schools in Honduras.  Parents were invited on Friday, so Ben and I went and walked two laps around the school with her.  What a good program!

Benjamin is still enjoying school and asks me sometimes to spell words so he can write things down.  It gives me hope that he will one day figure this reading thing out!  He spent some time watching Curious George this week and one day as I came walking into the room I caught him yelling to George, "No!  No!  NO!"  At least he's got more sense than that monkey!  Ha ha! That's what I always want to yell at George, too!

We got lots and lots and lots of snow on Saturday.  Kevin went out with Cheyenne and Ben (Bethany was at a friend's house and Cali was sick!) and built a couple of snowmen!  They had some fun in the snow!
