Monday was the first day of tennis tryouts! Ladder competitions have continued all week. Cali has finished in the ladder at #2 and Chey at #6. That would put both on Varsity! If Cali plays singles, then just Chey will need to worry about doubles ladder next week. Overall, they did great! It's great to see their hard work pay off.

Tuesday Beth and Ben had karate. Savannah worked every day this week so she was at Funfinity again. Cali and Chey had tennis tryouts. Dad went to the parent meeting. That night I went to Circles.

Wednesday we picked up Megan from the airport! She is here getting ready for her outdoor expedition that marks the end of her summer BYU class. Ben, Beth, Cali, Chey, and I picked Meg up from the airport and then, since we were already in SLC, we went to the Egypt exhibit at UofU's museum. It was great! Chey even got to spend some time with Jens since he met us there. We had a picnic and then learned about Egyptians and then Dinosaurs.

Thursday was a big day because Sarah and McKay found out the gender of their baby coming in January! Unfortunately, we had to wait until that night to find out! Meanwhile, Meg and I took Chey and Beth with us while she shopped for things she knew she'd need while backpacking and canoeing. Then we had dinner and Cali and Chey had tennis tryouts. Beth and Ben had karate. After tryouts, we rushed over for their end-of-summer duet piano recital. I had to pick up B&B from karate and missed it, but everybody (Grandma, Grandpa, McKay, Sarah, Kevin, Megan) all said that they did great!

Afterwards, we went back to our house and as soon as Savannah got home, McKay and Sarah started their gender reveal. They had a game of memory planned! They had matches of girl names and matches of boys names. After we made all the matches we had to count to see if there were more girl names or more boy names. Guess what? It's a girl!!

Friday Cheyenne and Calianne and Bethany went to our ward's youth conference. They had team Olympics and also inspirational speakers and time for personal study. Beth came back that night but the twins stayed until Saturday about 1:00. They all had a great time!

Friday Megan had to meet with her class for more prep for most of the day, so Ben and I hung out. We went to Walmart and got school supplies. Then we went to the middle school and opened his locker five times and walked through his schedule twice. He is ready! He loves to show everyone how his backpack is organized. That night Kevin and I brought him with us when we went out for dinner although he had a hard time coming and not spending that time on his computer! Silly boy!

Saturday afternoon when the twins were back, we all went bowling! Savannah didn't have to work so she came and Sarah and McKay came! I don't think anyone bowled as well as they wanted! This caused crazy antics in some and crying in others. Maybe we need more bowling in this family! Ha ha. How to deal with failure 101? Afterwards, we got some ice cream at the BYU Creamery and then came back to our house for hamburgers. Some of us finished the night with a movie. It was a fun day to finish a fun week!
