Preference

Elise's first girls choice dance.
I only wish I could write more about her dances and things.  You realize that by 16, privacy is an issue.  And I want her to create her story, not me.  So I'll just post pictures.  And tell about the mom stuff.

She asked her date with hot dogs!  I thought it was pretty funny.  She had a sign that said, "I would be one lucky dog if you would go to preference with me." and then put a bunch of hot dogs on forks and stuck them in his lawn.

She smirked when I pointed the camera at her.  She doesn't like this one but I think it is so pretty.  

There are a bunch more with her friends but they are all on her phone.   She has such a fun time.  They did the Escape Key for their day date, and went to Tucanos for dinner.  They have been doing lots of stuff lately and she had a great time with JT.  His little sister is friends with Simone now too.  So cute!

We were super excited about how well we bargain shopped this time.  Her dress was so pretty on her and it was only $30.  Shoes were from Amazon and only $35.

The house where they all took pictures was incredible!  I loved it and want to have a house like that someday.

Sandstorm Lacrosse Tournament

This tournament was HUGE!  50 fields and I heard there were 200 girls teams.  Utah Liberty played well and won 5 of the 6 games we played.  We lost by one in sudden death overtime in the semifinals.  Bummer!  But they did well and it was so fun to have a little break from the snow. 

We stayed at the Marriott in Palm Desert.  I drove the kids down since Jared had his doTERRA trip to Dominican Republic.  It was fun to do a roadtrip.  It was cute to see Soren swimming again.  He sure loves hotels just as much as he used to.  It IS pretty fun to have everyone so close for the weekend.
