This week was Sarah's birthday! The girls helped plan an all-day celebration. Bethany decorated. Megan made cinnamon rolls and breakfast casserole for a late breakfast on Wednesday. Then games were played (Wacky 6), a movie watched (Atlantis), a game with Dad (Acquire),  crafts were made, and a dinner of enchiladas eaten! Meg also made Rice Krispie treats for a birthday treat and we put candles in it and sang Happy Birthday! It was a really fun day and we are so glad that Sarah is part of our lives!

That day also marked one year since Beth's surgery. Beth knew it would be a hard day for her so she stayed home from school and tried her best to enjoy Sarah's birthday festivities. Beth is glad it is this year and not last year but it's a day that changed her life. She had hoped to be feeling better by now and is instead dealing with a whole lot that she didn't used to have to deal with. So, it was a hard day.

Thankfully, the rest of her week went pretty well! She got to get started on her driving hours with a driving instructor. On Friday night, she and two friends went to see a play and had great fun! And on Saturday, she and I watched a scary movie together. Fun times!

Ben had guitar this week and a full week of cross country. His knee has been hurting so on Thursday and Friday he did cross training by riding his bike. He even got our neighbor, Max, to go with him. They've been going FAR. On Saturday, though, he decided to try the bike course they made by the water tower near our house and he crashed. Poor kid! He's pretty scratched up and his chin got the worst of it.

Savannah had a full week of work! She's been able to help Sarah with her little ones a couple of times this week, too.

Kevin and I went to a ward activity Friday night up the canyon and also to a ward temple session on Saturday afternoon. He taught second hour today for fifth Sunday and I taught for a few minutes, too. So, that's been fun. 

Our four-wheeler also got some time this week. Kevin took Mariah for a ride on Tuesday afternoon and took his mom for a ride on Thursday. On Saturday, Sarah and McKay took it up the canyon for a ride by themselves.
