This was Utah "Apply for College Week!" or some name like that.  They gave seniors a chance during school to fill out applications and some of the colleges in the state waived their application fees (not very many, though!).  Meg finished her application to USU and is about half-way through her applications to BYU and Uof U.  Fun times!  Ok, not really, but they did give her a cool sticker.  Our high school's football team played in the state championship game on Friday and Megan went up to Salt Lake City with some of her friends and most of the student body to watch the game.  We lost but Meg made good memories--and got a cool new shirt!

This is her cool FCCLA shirt and her "I Applied" sticker!

Mariah had basketball practices and cross country practices all week and left Thursday morning for the regional cross country finals in Arizona.  The boys team and girls team and the teams from Mapleton and Spanish Fork went down on one bus and won't be back until this afternoon!  They had a great race, though.  The girls placed 3rd in their "non-elite" race and the boys placed 3rd in the elite race.  The boys will go on to nationals!  We will be happy just to get our little girl home!  But we're glad she got to go!

Chey and Cali did tennis twice a week and basketball twice a week again.  On Monday after school, they brought their friend with whom they walk, and they stopped at their Grandma Gazdik's house for games before coming home.  Fun times!  They also had a college day at the junior high.  The only college clothes we had for them to wear were BYU ones! They looked pretty cute.  On Saturday, they had a piano recital where they played two duets they've learned together and then performed them again at Duet Festival later that day.  It was a busy piano day!

Aw, you can see from the picture that Bethany performed at the piano recital, too!  She played a duet with her teacher and did a great job.  She also cleaned her room on Saturday with Ben, and I really liked that, too!  She is still enjoying school and dance and neighbor friends to abundance!

Benjamin has had a cold this week, but seems to be coming out of it.  He's liking Karate still.  I pick up three children in addition to my own after school three days a week and Ben enjoys sprinting to the car and exulting in his first place finish--every day.  Competitive kid, I think!

Kevin left Friday morning for Las Vegas to do a training for therapists at UNLV and then a training for church leaders that night.  We got him back the next day around 3:00 and he went straight out to the yard to get our leaves up and to the composting place before it closed at 6:00!  He's a hard-working guy!

I've been busy getting the ward ready for Christmas and to keep myself busy while Kevin was gone, I repainted my bathroom.  I love how it turned out!  *happy sigh*
