Benjamin had karate, scouts, guitar, football practice, and a football game this week. We had a COLD week, so watching Ben's football game was not so much fun, but he still seemed to have a great time playing it!

Bethany had karate, piano, and activity days where they made Halloween decorations. I'm still hoping she puts them up in our house soon! She had some friends over Friday evening and had an impromptu white-elephant party. Saturday, she spent with Grandma, helping her shop and get her house ready for Sarah's bridal shower.

Cali and Chey had some basketball open-gym practices and also attended their first ultimate frisbee club meeting. They said it was fun and they learned some new moves. This weekend they had a pre-season basketball tournament. They both played JV1 and had a lot of fun being back on the court for a few games!

Mariah had a race Saturday in Cedar City! Since it was relatively close and since we wanted to have Mariah here for the bridal shower, I went down and watched her run before scooping her up and bringing her home for the weekend. My dad came up to watch her run, too, and my sister, Maggie, and her family, since they live in Cedar came to the meet as well! What a lot of support! It was a beautiful day and so fun to visit with family while we watched Mariah.

Sarah's friend, Allyson, gave her a bridal shower on Saturday! She did a great job and we all had a lot of fun. We played some fun games, shared funny stories about Sarah, and opened presents. There was a nice mix of new friends from her YSA ward, family, and past women leaders who love her. Sarah decided it was just like having a birthday party and since she hasn't had one of those in years, it was a hoot!

Savannah had a good week. She worked and went to school but also went out with a friend from work Friday night and on Saturday went with Sarah and McKay to see Divine Comedy at BYU. She also told great stories about Sarah at the bridal shower and gave Sarah "the world's smallest vacuum" from Funfinity. Gotta love it!
