Back to school! It's crazy how quickly we get used to having no responsibility. Ha ha! 

Ben didn't have guitar on Monday because Sarah and McKay were getting over Covid, but he did have karate on Tuesday and Thursday. He set a goal to read at least 50 pages a day and was reading a lot at the beginning of the week. The last few days of the week he told me he got his reading done at school! But, he's been playing with Max, and on Friday night he and Max invited the two other boys from their church class over to Max's house for tag and laser tag. Fun times!

Ben also passed the sacrament for the first time this week. He did great!

Beth also went to karate this week, but she also started rehearsals for the school play! The play is Matilda Jr. and she has been paired with a very tall boy to be the parents of one of her friends. She's been learning songs and choreography and having a great time. She and Ben and their neighborhood gang took their electric scooters the mile and a half to downtown Springville on Saturday. They had ice cream and went to the park and had a grand time.

Calianne worked this week at Funfinity and at city rec basketball games. She and Cheyenne orchestrated our class activity for YW this week--making sunshine boxes (care packages) for missionaries. They really had to work hard to squeeze that into their schedule, too! Cali did get to do something with Richmond Friday night and with her friends Saturday night. Her legs are feeling much better!

Cheyenne passed her exam this week and is officially a CNA!! Great job, Chey! She had track practices this week and managed to go to three of them, which is pretty good! She worked basketball games four days this week. She would have worked at the care center as well, but they changed the day she worked and she inadvertently got the week off! She went on a date with Parker on Friday night and Jens came to hang out on Saturday night. She has a busy social calendar as well as professional life!

Savannah worked at Funfinity this week and played Dungeons and Dragons on Friday night. She also cleaned the garage for us! She made us eggrolls on Tuesday night. She's gotten really pro at those!

Kevin and I went to the temple on Saturday afternoon in the Payson temple. We had forgotten how beautiful it is! We were glad we got to go.
