EvieJane and Cali holding baby Ashley...can you tell they're cousins?
A tour at the "Sweet's Factory" in Salt Lake.--This was so fun. I felt like we were going through Willy Wonka's factory. They showed us how they made all the candy and we got to peek in the secret rooms and taste some of the candy that had just been made--have you ever had taffy right of the line?...so so tasty! But the best part was these cool hats. We were all touring in style! And to our surprise, we got to take them home to enjoy many more hours of green shower cap fun :)!
Luke, Cali, and Evie--the first 3 grandchildren, all born in the same year!
Aunt Anitra and Evie--Anitra is having a baby in November and claims there are no cute pictures of her, so this is to prove her wrong :)
This was at Hogle Zoo. I had never been and it was actually really fun. Evie, Katelyn, Cali, Camden, and Luke were enjoying the caterpillar.
We were mesmerized by the elephants, so we all wanted our picture with them.
This was just weird, so I had to take a picture of it.

TRIP TO ARIZONA--Evie and I got to go to Arizona to visit my family the last week in May
We spent some time with by best friend, Jacque, and Evie just loved playing with her girls. Here they are after swimming. (Makenna, Evie, and Alexa)
Evie sporting Grandma Cami's sunglasses. And aren't my Dad's red flowers so pretty?
I just threw this in because it seemed to kind of fit with the costumes. My mom and brother went to China a few months ago and brought this dress back for Evie. She kept saying how fancy she felt and made sure everyone at church got a look at it.
Memorial Day!---It has been a long long time since I've been at the family BBQ/swim party. It was really fun to spend time with relatives and enjoy nice weather. It probably snowed in Utah that day...ugh!
Chelsi and Jeff and Natalie's youngest, Braden
Tyler, Evie, and Adam
Grandma Cami and Evie
My Dad's parents, Russ and Yvonne--who Evie refers to as Grandpa Great and Grandma Great. They used to live in Utah, but as soon as I moved to the area, they moved to Arizona. We don't get to see them nearly enough, but it's so fun when we do.
Sunday Dinner on the lawn. It's usually super hot in AZ by the end of May, but the weather was so gorgeous. We spent as much time as we could outdoors.
COUSINS! Evie just absolutely adores my sister's boys. Braden is 1, Bryson is 8, Adam is 7 and Tyler is 4. We just wish we lived closer so we could play more.
There's a lot of mischief on those faces!
DANCE RECITAL #2
Evie had so much fun in her dance class, and she especially liked wearing make-up for the recital!
Uncle Nick, Grandma Nonne, and Uncle Eric were nice enough to come and watch Evie's performance. She felt so special!
A VISIT FROM GRANDPA CRAIGMy Dad has a client in Salt Lake, so every now and then we get a little visit from him. He used to just come on day trips, but now he does an over-nighter so he can see Evie. It's so fun! Utah is our home, but at times, I do get home-sick for my family. I love when they come and visit.
TREMONTON--My mom's parent's live just 2 hours north of us, so we try to make visits when we can. Evie loves being there, and my grandparents just eat her up!
Here's Evie having her picture taken after church

That was so fun to see all those pictures. It threw me off a little when I saw my face first thing when I got to your blog. :) Allyson, do you ever take a bad picture? I don't think so, you are so photogenic.

Dear Al,
Thanks for the pics. Evie is as cute as ever. Natalie's boys are adorable, as well. I loved the picture in the heirloom dress. I can hardly believe the story! It was fun to see you for a second at the reunion. It went too fast, though! I wish we could have had more time to catch up. Looks like you guys are doing well!
Love,
Jess
I love that costume box. Evie is quite the little poser, isn't she!
Hi! I found your blog from a link on another ward member's. I still can't believe how grown up Evie is getting! You are such a cute little family!
Love, Katie Reese
i love the pictures you take of eviejane. she is so adorable. we miss her a lot. especially elliot. she was such a good friend to him. we miss you all. we'll definitely come visit you if you are around christmas time.
hey Al- will you email me the picture of Evie at Dance Recital #2? I am making a little photo book for Kapria with all her friends that she plays with, and that one of Evie is just so cute. Blogger wouldn't let me click it and steal it. darn.
thanks!
