On Sunday of last week, Bethany turned 17! Happy Birthday, Beth! We love that girl so much. Her sisters came over early to play games and we had hamburgers for dinner. We sang Happy Birthday over strawberry shortcake and opened some presents. Then we played her favorite game, Betrayal in the House on the Hill. I think she enjoyed the day very much. We sure enjoy being with her!

Beth also continued to work this week. On Saturday she even worked 10 to 5! It drained her, but she made it! Way to soldier on, our fighter! 

Ben worked this week and did pretty good at practicing guitar. I asked him to spend some time not on screens and he cleaned his room! It looks great!

A lightbulb exploded in Savannah's room this week and though she wasn't hurt (so grateful!) her comforter had holes burned through it and glass melted to it. She also had to cut some melted glass out of the carpet. It was scary!

Cali is still working for BYU custodial and is trying to get in as many hours as she can. But she also got to go to Stadium of Fire with Richmond on Friday and to a play at the Hale Theatre on Saturday with that same guy. Fun times!

Chey worked all night at the hospital Thursday night. On Friday night she worked all night again and then did a morning shift at assisted living. She worked 17 hours! Holy cow! That girl is getting initiated into healthcare in a major way. So, that exhausted girl came home and slept for some hours. Then she went to the temple on a date. Still not done, though because they're training for a marathon, remember? So Saturday they got their run in at 10pm running 10 miles. !!!

Friday night was 4th of July! Grandma invited us over for hamburgers and jello salad and all the fixins. Afterwards, we went over to the Koger's to watch fireworks all over the valley from their back deck. It was beautiful!

This morning (Sunday), Mariah and Kolby blessed their sweet baby Evelyn Brook Carter. We all went to be a part and took up two big rows. What a gift that little girl is. We love her!
