Savannah struggled with sleep and headaches this week, but is trying to get her hours back up at work by working from home on a better schedule. She has been doing pretty well in her science and computer classes but getting her writing done for English is a struggle.
Mariah came home this week! She brought all her stuff back from Dixie and Kaitlyn and Ella, too! (Although, just her and Kaitlyn's stuff). They went on one last campout before they left St. George and it wasn't as fun as other times, but at least they tried. Since she's been back, she's gone on runs and had the twins come with her a couple of times and she's also been working with Sarah at Shane's warehouse. So, she is keeping busy and we are glad to have her back!
Cheyenne bought a mountain bike this week! She has been working for Springville Rec, as you know, and has quite a little stash of money. Don't worry. We kept our social distance as we went to WalMart and rolled her bike to the front. She has ridden it every day since and even had Beth and Ben riding their bikes again until she led them down the hill and Ben hit a curb and crumpled Beth's bike and miraculously survived himself. Yay miracles! I am glad for her to have something she enjoys doing and is able to do during quarantine.
Calianne (and Chey) have mountains of homework to do each day. They are keeping up in their classes and still managing to text fairly constantly their "boys." Their group of friends from school decided to have a baking challenge this week, and Cali and Chey made homemade pizza! They are also still doing online piano lessons and are trying to keep up with practicing. Still, they miss their old lives something terrible.
Beth finishes her homework in the morning and even after I insist she do her chore and make her bed and practice piano, she is still free most of the day. She has connected with some of her friends through texting and Marco Polo on the iPad and she spends a lot of time "talking" to them! I found a YouTube class on drawing for kids and I think I will encourage her to do that daily during online school. I still managed to get pictures of her doing school work in different places!
Ben had much more reasonable homework this week! The only problem was that once he was done, he wanted to get back on the computer to watch YouTube or play Minecraft and I wanted him TO BE OFF A SCREEN! Basically, what I always want. Ha ha! We did put up the gaga ball pit for a day and you heard about almost dying on the bike. He also likes jumping on the trampoline or torturing the dog. I got good pictures of his studying self, too.
Kevin has been developing a 100-day class for men dealing with pornography. He has recorded almost all 100 episodes in one week! He seems to always be working on it, but he is excited about it and its potential.
I finished helping Kevin's company pick a price point this week and just in time, because it's a new month and I needed to do accounting for my "real" job. I still managed to do a lot of reading and hopefully be available to my kids when they needed me.
Friday, the fruit trees I ordered were delivered, so on Saturday, Kevin, Ben, and Beth helped get them in the ground! We planted two apple trees and a "fruit cocktail tree" -- peach and plum. We took pictures, so someday when the trees are ten feet tall and Beth and Ben come over and their children are climbing the tree, they can say, "I helped plant that tree!" It's good to look to the future, isn't it?
