"Your most important friendships should be with your own brothers and sisters and with your father and mother. Love your family. Be loyal to them. Have a genuine concern for your brothers and sisters. Help carry their load so you can say, like the lyrics of that song, 'He ain't heavy; he's my brother.' " Ezra Taft Benson

Go Audrey!!



Today was Audrey's tennis tournament. Okay so you all know we are not an athletic family, meaning our children have never been in sports before. Well, Audrey was talked into playing tennis (then her best friend quit!) Still, she persevered and she actually had a great time! Audrey use to play singles, but the last 2 games she was moved to doubles with a little spanish girl, Camilla. The two of them totally meshed in their game of tennis. The coaches wish they would have paired these two up in the beginning. So the matches they played together previous to the tournament they won!!!!
Now, on the the tournament. It was an all day adventure. Audrey called mid morning to update me, they had won their first 2 matches!!! They played again and lost (double elimination). So, after the 4th game she called and they had won!! They played their 5th game and won!! However, on the sixth game they were defeated and finished for the year! These two girls were the only ones left from their school! The coach was so proud of them and so were we!!! Way to go!! Not too bad for two girls who never played tennis before!!!!!!! Go Audrey!!!!!!!
