Savannah and Megan finished their last finals of Winter semester 2017 this week.  We’re so proud of them and all their hard work. That meant, too, that they packed and cleaned and moved back home!  Yay! We are happy to have them back! Savannah will keep working at BYU’s IT department this summer. They are even putting her through an Amazon Architect certification class for free! She’ll start that on Tuesday. Megan will continue to work at the Cannon Creamery through next week and then she will put her full effort into getting ready for the MTC.

Meanwhile, in Rexburg, Sarah started classes at BYU-I! I got two excited calls from her one after her first day of classes and the next after her second day. She loves her classes and is excited about them! She also restarted her job as math tutor at the math lab and on-line. Yep, there’s some poor folks already having trouble in their math classes! Good thing she is there to save the day!

Mariah continued with track practice and played some basketball games. She had a track meet on Saturday. She ran the 800m in the morning and the 3200m in the afternoon. It was a long day (track meets typically are!). Kevin and I watched her run the 3200m which her coaches wanted to see at 11:45, but which she ran right around 12 minutes. (which still to me is like WOW!!) She came in 4^th but only because the 3^rd runner cut her off. It was an exciting race!

Cheyenne and Calianne continued to have track practice. They also had piano lessons and helped with weeding during YW. They had a track meet on Friday. They’re both running great. Cali even took 15 seconds off her 800 time! They’ve also taken time to go to the tennis courts a couple of times this week with the nicer weather!

Bethany and Benjamin had karate this week and a belt test on Thursday. They are both now official black-stripe belts in junior dragons! Yay! Next they’ll test into the solid-colored ranks. They are pretty cool!

On Saturday Bethany invited a bunch of girls from Brookside to have a bit of a party. She is quite a cute hostess. They had a good time.

Ben had two soccer games this week and he is getting better and better! He’s fun to watch.
