There was no school on Monday because of President's Day but Beth and Ben and I were sick and Sarah was still gone to Las Vegas and Megan and Mariah needed rest and Kevin had to work, SO I took Cheyenne and Calianne and their friend, Logan, to the Provo Rec Center and dropped them off.  They had a great time playing in the pool and waiting in line for the slide and going around the lazy river.  I was glad that at least part of us had a great holiday!

Cali and Chey and Mariah and Megan continue to take care of calves every morning at 5:30 and again in the evening at 5:30.  They are doing really well with it, although the mornings are wearing on all of them!

Mariah's SHS basketball team went to the State Tournament this week.  They won in their first game on Tuesday, but lost in their second game Thursday morning by ONE POINT!  It was heartbreaking.  Mariah is actually the most heartbroken over the fact that the season is over!  She loves basketball and being with her team.  She did start track practice the very next day, though, so, hopefully she is being marginally comforted.

Sarah came back to us on Tuesday!!  Yay!  Sarah's back from Las Vegas!  She had a really great time hanging out with her Grandma and Grandpa Elton and I think it's super cool that she went.  She is super glad she went, too.  It didn't stop us all from missing her, though and being glad she's back!  She's just so fun!

Bethany was sick and didn't go to school until Friday, but her last basketball game was on Thursday and she just had to play!  She had fun and my little team had fun and I made them a traditional pan-size cookie for their last game.  Best part of the whole season!

Cali and Chey had their last basketball games for Springville this week, too.  They had two games and won them both!  They've had a lot of fun this season playing with their dad.

 

 

 

Megan had work three days this week, but hasn't shown any signs of getting sick, so that's nice!  She is enjoying her internship in Mapleton Junior High's library and loves her astronomy class.  Right this minute she is patiently letting Ben beat her at Candy Land.  What a great sister!

Benjamin went to school most of the week, but did stay home Wednesday, as well, because his health was still struggling.  We've all had coughs and runny noses and fuzzy heads.  I was glad when he started feeling better and needing to get some energy out again.

On Saturday, we revived an old tradition and went to the BYU Women's Basketball game as a family!  BYU was kind enough to win for us, too!  Afterward, we went to the Brick Oven for pizza!  Fun times!  We even managed to get home in time to feed the calves . . .
