Chey and Cali went to St. George for a tennis tournament this weekend and Kevin, Beth, Ben, and I went to watch! Kevin's partner has a vacation home in St. George that he said we could use, so it made the decision to go down an easy one. It also made it so Grandma and Grandpa Elton could come up from Las Vegas and stay with us AND Sarah could come over from Jacob's Lake and stay with us on her day off, too! It was a party!

The twins played as doubles partners and they did great. They're really playing some great tennis even if they are playing as alternates right now. They placed third in the alternates tournament and the second place team was also from Springville! We had a lot of fun watching them!

It was super fun to see Sarah, too! She is enjoying her job and making new friends at Jacob Lake. Kevin got a new tire on her car and we went out for lunch at the Black Bear Diner (because black bears remind me of Sarah).  We had tacos for dinner and afterwards she applied to be a student at UVU starting in January! She had to go Saturday around noon but first she helped the twins with tennis pointers and morale and was just super fun to be with!

It was super fun to be with Grandma and Grandpa, too! They watched Cali and Chey and cheered them on and did everything with us Friday and took Beth and Ben to lunch on Saturday. Fun bonus, we also got to see Rebecca and Emily who are in St. George going to Dixie College! We hung out at their work place, Fiesta Fun, on Friday for a little bit and when they came to watch some tennis Saturday, we even got to meet their boyfriends. (We approved.) As we were driving out of town, we got to see Maggie and Liz who were down in St. George shopping for a dress for Homecoming. Yay! More hugs! If we'd had a chance to see my brother Dave, and Kevin's brother Jake, the party would have been complete! Who knew St. George was such a happening place?

Back at the homestead, Mariah ran in the Murray Invite and placed just seconds behind SHS's top runner. That's hard to do! On Saturday, Mariah went to a recruiting event for basketball. Girls came from all over the state (and some out of state) to play in front of college coaches. We don't know if anything will come from it, but Mariah had great fun so that's awesome.

Savannah finished her first week of classes on Friday! She decided she wasn't ready for Chinese 201, so she dropped it and she got down to business trying to figure out what a good major for her would be so she'd know what to take instead. She went to the advisement center and then she and I poured over majors and requirements (because I love doing that) and we are tentatively going forward with an English major (and several minors which she will need to narrow down to no more than two)! Ha ha! She just loves so many things! We think this will be a good match for her so we are excited for her.

It's been a great week!
