This is the only picture I took this week!  It is from Saturday when Chey, Cali, and Beth had piano festival where they play for judges.  Chey and Cali got superiors and Beth got an excellent!  They are all sounding really good and I am pleased with how hard they have been working.

In other news, the SHS boys basketball team won the state 4A championship yesterday!  It's the first time Springville has done so since 1958.  Wow!  Balloons lined 400 South all the way to the freeway and they, of course, had a police escort back into town with sirens wailing.  Sarah and Mariah drove up to Weber State to watch the game.  Megan had to work, but watched the end with her dad and sisters from our TV.  There was much screaming and celebrating!

Speaking of celebrating, we also found out Saturday morning that Megan was accepted to BYU!  If Megan decides to go there, BYU will have gained a great student.  Good choice, BYU. 

The girls continue to feed their cows and go to bed early and look exhausted by 9pm.

Mariah has transitioned into track.  She ran 6 miles Friday and 9 on Saturday and who knows how many the rest of the week and really, really misses basketball!  We see her more, now, though and I like that!

Sarah worked a little over half of this week and loves her babies.  She came to a Monday night fireside with one of the BYU wards that Kevin had been invited to speak at.  Kevin did a great job and Sarah and I enjoyed watching all the students admire her dad!  The bishop offered to set Sarah up on a date with any boy in the ward of her choosing.  She has such helpful adults in her life! ha ha!

Since Beth finished basketball and can't join dance mid-semester, I asked if she'd like to try something new.  Gymnastics?  Soccer?  Nope.  Actually, she'd like to try Karate with Benjamin!  So, Bethany started Karate this week.  She has the bruised knuckles to prove it!  She really likes it so far.

Benjamin continues to love Minecraft.  He found a friend his age in our ward who also loves Minecraft by the name of Crosby, and he spent the rest of Friday and all of Saturday at his house building stuff with him.  I got to hear all about it!  They built a house, a portal, and another house and another portal and they went through portals and built a lava killer machine and three houses connected and a bank.  Banks are very important?  Maybe.
