was amazing.
beautiful success.

the ‘one voice children’s choir’ sang daphne’s song,
and most of us had glistening eyes.

this will forever be one of my favorite saturday mornings, for our family.

so fun to wake-up and start the day with all of us running. not just us.
we were surrounded by daphne, her family, neighbors, so many dear friends…

if back to school wasn’t crazy enough with four kids,
we have been up to our necks in dance stuff lately!

sela is taking tumbling and dance at CS this year. loves them both!

kiana is once again the youngest dancer on teen company at CS, and has been going nonstop. two weeks ago, on sept. 8th, her team with the senior company auditioned their production number for this dance show. the most convenient thing about auditions… CBS came to our studios here in orem!

back to school night, the excitement of seeing all the
new classrooms for the year~

this year, we all attended sela’s preschool open house,
she is in love with her special school bag.
sela gets to have ‘show ‘n tell’ everyday…
the day before her first day of school, i explained show ‘n tell to her…

kj & myla’s back to school night at our elementary…

this summer, our girls begged to go again,

we love this mountain city.

it feels like our own little hideaway.
40 minute drive from our front door.
not too far, a beautiful drive.
the alpine slide.
the coaster {our fave!}
zip lines…

without realizing it, we’ve made it a tradition to end
our kids’ summer vacation with a weekend in park city.
