We got Sadie back this week!  I was so surprised, I cried.  A man called Monday around noon.  He'd found her the day she got lost but didn't know how to find us (we didn't have tags on her).  So, he took her home with his dogs.  He tried calling the pound but they wanted him to bring her in and he didn't trust them not to euthanize her.  He found our "Lost Dog" ad on KSL on Monday and called and we were reunited!  In the meantime, Sadie went on lots of hunts with him and his dogs.  She treed two raccoons and a mountain lion and convinced the man who found her that she was the best hound who ever lived.  He is confident that Sadie could win the Western Trials and be worth near $10,000.  We asked Chey if she maybe wanted to trade Sadie for her college education, but alas, the dog has her heart.  So, Sadie, who was very happy to see us, will continue spending her days sleeping on our couch and submitting to the occasional head scratch and belly rub.  What a life!

Sarah worked four-hundred hours this week or what felt like it anyway.  She substituted everyday Monday thru Friday and went straight to the Brick Oven to close on MWF and Sat.  She did it!  Her feet hurt always even after a full night's sleep and she became concerned that her patience had evaporated to the point that she might murder her some third-graders.  But she continues to be cheerful and plow on!  On Tuesday (one of her only nights off), she organized a group to see The Greatest Showman at the movie theatre.  Cheyenne, Cali, Bethany, Hannah, Grandma Gazdik, Megan, and Ammon (a boy Meg's been dating) all went.  They had a great time.

Mariah only had one game this week and it was on Friday.  She played for most of the game and was the team's high scorer with 14 points.  We won!  It was a really fun game to watch.  She wasn't able to go with her sisters to see the movie on Tuesday night, but did go see it Saturday with a friend from our old ward.  She continues to wear the Letterman's sweater that we got her for Christmas and I finally took a picture of it!

Chey and Cali had a bantam basketball game this week on Wednesday night.  Their coach (Kevin) reports that they are improving and doing a lot of good things.  They won!  They had play rehearsals and piano lessons.  The old flip-phone they had been sharing has been glitching so Kevin took them to T-Mobile on Saturday.  They each bought their own phone and we bought another line so now they both have their own phones!  Fun times!

Bethany had a basketball game this week and along with playing great defense, made three baskets!  On Saturday, she went to visit her friend Josie who lives an hour away.  She stayed all day and had a great time!

Benjamin had karate and guitar lessons.  He got an award in school for working hard and making marked improvement in his Chinese (he's been working with his dad!)

Kevin and I got invited to play tennis with some friends of ours on Friday night.  We had a court for a couple of hours at their fitness club and it was a ton of fun!

Our college kids, Savannah and Megan, came home last Sunday for dinner and they are doing well.  Balancing work and classes and homework is hard and they feel overwhelmed sometimes but they are plowing through!
