 We also got Calianne's wedding pictures back! They turned out so great and are a reminder of that lovely day!!!




























 The grandkids came over a few times this week! We watched Evelyn on Wednesday while Mariah substitute taught and we watched Sarah's children on Saturday while she got a couple of hours to herself. I say "we" because even though my sweet daughters ask me if I'll help them out, Beth loves these babies and they all love her! Plus, when Savannah and Dad are home they both take time with the kiddos, too! On Thursday, Sarah, Megan, and Mariah all came to my house with their babies. It's so fun to see them together (my grandchildren and my daughters). I love that they are such friends to each other!


             

Benjamin had to work hard to get caught up on math assignments before a big test this week. Apparently all his friends in that class were pretty worried about that test and they all met for a prayer before hand. Those are some pretty good friends! He said he was shaking after the test because the pressure was so high. Crazy, right? Anyway, he ended up with a 97%. Way to go, Ben! He continued with indoor track this week, had a basketball game on Saturday, and worked as a lifeguard twice. On Saturday, he had a six hour shift that started at 5:45am! He learned he could do it. That's important. He is a great young man.



Kevin continues to work hard. He had meetings for work early in the week and did an intensive during the last few days. He gives a couple nights of week to the YSA ward as well as most of the day Sunday. It takes time but he loves it. Cheyenne organized a basketball game Monday night with members of the ward and asked Kevin to play. He had fun but hurt his foot and now needs to take a break from tennis and basketball for a few weeks!

I had some sessions this week. I thought a lot about those cases and what might help them. I also filed the W-2 and 1099s for Kevin's business. I babysat. I walked three times this week. I decided Joe Dispenza might be a good solution for Beth and might convince her to take his online class next week. I called and talked to my mom. I took chances to get caught up on Cheyenne's life on her way to and from so many things! I talked with Savannah as she struggled through a couple of days where headaches made it so she couldn't go to work. I pondered on the purpose of life and the nature of contentment. Did I do a lot this week or very little? I'm not sure, but here is my record. :)
