So Many Good Things and One Bad Thing

The girls and I snuck down to Eugene to squeeze and love on these little people.

While there is so much to do in Eugene, I usually end up talking with my friends and enjoying how beautiful it is there. Nick kept asking for details of my trip and I kept saying, "We went to the park, then we talked, then we went to the park again for some more talking..."

We miss our friends dearly!

After Eugene, the girls and I drove up to meet Nick and the rest of the fam bam for Elle's blessing.

Even G-Phyl was there! Whoop whoop!

We took the girls to the BYU Princess Ballet. I tried to convince Ev to dress up like a Princess, but she wanted to be a ballerina, which worked tremendously well. Thank goodness I forgot her Spiderman costume because she asked me to wear it several times before deciding on the ballerina.

Master chiseled jaw and his busted knee.

(this is the one bad thing in case you were wondering)

Ev and Ally had such a fun time meeting the ballerinas and receiving candy. 

Candy is the highlight of Evelyn's life.

"Mom, when I grow up I want to be a candy ballerina with lots of candy."

She enjoyed reading the program.

And the girls both loved dancing on stage.

And the girl of the hour - Elle!

Brent gave her such a beautiful blessing and of course she looked so posh.

Darel has so many hands in this picture.

A lot of crazy people.

An awkward family pic.

Sisters! Never were there such devoted sisters.

We totally missed Shea though.

Oh. My. Heck.

The squeeziest ballerina in town.

That belly though!

This kid is nuts.

And I'll end on the sweetest note of all.
