Bethany went on choir tour this week! We had to get her to school at 2:45am Friday morning which was really like Thursday night. Friday was also the last day of Term 3. So the week was spent trying to get work done for classes and making sure we had all she needed for her trip. After some panic about not being able to find her phone as we left Friday, she was reunited with her phone and left full of happiness and excitement! We've had some texts from her and she is very tired but having a good time. Yay!

On Wednesday, Beth's choir had a pre-tour choir concert. It was so fun to see Beth smile and sing with beautiful animation. They sounded terrific!

Benjamin had karate this week where, according to Beth, he performed the best sweep she'd ever seen. Impressive! He also had a group guitar lesson where he reported that everyone was better than him and he was sure he was being judged but he also felt more motivated to practice. We will see! On Saturday he went with Kyler and Spencer to watch Dune 2. Fun times!

On Friday, my mom and my sister, Amy, and her family came to visit! Alright, they actually came to see Mandy play in her trombone recital but we all enjoyed visiting with them, too! They came Friday and on Thursday we went to the recital in the new BYU Music Building and then out for lunch at Brick Oven. We visited and then had burgers for dinner. Sarah and Megan came over too to visit. Then that night Amy, Paul, Kevin, and I went to the BYU basketball game because Mandy was playing in the pep band. That was a lot of fun. On Sunday they came to church with us to our YSA ward. After lunch they were on the road again. It sure was fun to see them!
