Cali and Cheyenne had their final regional tournament on Monday this week.  They got to miss a whole day of school and play tennis ALL DAY!  So fun!  They did great, beating four teams easily and getting two matches of actual competition toward the end of the day.  They are really getting good and it is fun to watch them.  They placed third and it is was exciting!  And it was a beautiful day!

The weather continues to be stunning and our street is in its most glorious state.  Beth and Ben have been outside playing a lot and the leaf hotel even made a reappearance across the street at dear, patient Sister Schroeder's.  Fun times outside with lots of neighbor kids!

They also have a clubhouse on top of our shed.  It's the best place for it, of course.

Beth and Ben also had their first karate tournament this week.  I couldn't attend because I was at our Relief Society's super Saturday, but Kevin went.  It's fun to see what our kids are learning and get some cool pictures!

Yes, Bethany did win that giant trophy.

Mariah had a week off of intense Cross Country races in anticipation of State next week.  It was a great week to attend Sadie Hawkins on Saturday.  The dance theme was Teen Beach Movie and her group decided to go as bikers.  I thought she looked pretty adorable!  They did pictures and went to Nickle Mania and had dinner and went to the dance and played games afterwards.  I think a good time was had by all!

We saw Savannah and Megan this week as they came over Friday night to do some star gazing for Megan's astronomy class.  We all drove out to Mona so we could see the Milky Way and Megan could pick out constellations.  It was COLD!  But it was fun.

I've been packing and packing.  I gave lots of stuff away, too, and am throwing a bunch of stuff away, as well.  We had our roof redone this week so we had a large dumpster in our driveway for a few days.  That was handy to have around!  Kevin brought up lots of boxes of expired food storage that we slid right into that handy dumpster!

Sarah has been working away up in Idaho, too!  I had a fun reminder of her this week while I was packing things from a cupboard's highest shelf.  She was apparently sneaky with her vandalism as a young child!  Cute girl.
