This week I had Chey and Cali signed up for a USTA tournament in Idaho Falls. We were originally hoping to visit family while we were there, but because of COVID concerns, that part had to be cancelled. The twins and I had a good time getting away for a few days, though, and finding out how the advanced tennis players play tennis! Chey and Cali each played two singles matches and two doubles matches. They lost every one. But they fought hard and did some good stuff and learned a lot. We had a fun time visiting some of Kevin's favorite spots when he was a kid growing up there, too.

This is Dixie's Diner and the twins got two songs from the tabletop jukebox for 25cents. Chey asked if I would get her a jukebox. I picked up her phone and said, "Yes. Here is your jukebox!" So she took a picture of all the song lists on the jukebox and will be making 25 new playlists on Spotify. Ha ha!

26 years ago on a day almost exactly like this one, Kevin and I got married here!

Kevin's house when he was a teenager! The twins liked the story of how one night, Kevin and his friends toilet-papered every house on the street except one where the adults were having a party. The effect of COVID is that the twins asked how he could waste toilet paper like that?!

Papa Tom's Pizza where Kevin would come for pizza and Pac Man.

Bethany and Ben had karate Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I'm always glad for that so they remember how to be with people and do things that don't involve a screen! Ben got together with his friend, Luke, on Friday and they rode bikes! Yay! Bethany had a late-night on Friday with Macey and Siena and remembered how to play with friends, too!

Mariah continues to study here in our "at-home-MTC" and Savannah continues to be a great companion. A couple of weeks ago, we were driving past the Provo MTC and lamented Mariah's missed chance to sit in the courtyard full of flags from around the world. So, we decided to make our own! Mariah was the one who carried it out and Savannah was the one who drove her to the flag store. We now have our own flag courtyard including flags from the places our sons-in-law served. It's really quite amazing the things that get accomplished when you put your trust in the Lord! It warms my heart!
