March Madness

March really has been madness, so fun-filled that I hardly know how to start. On March 15th one of my dear best friends, Elise, got married and I was able to fly out for a quick trip to Utah to be part of it. Many tears of joy were shed for how wonderful it was to be a part of that day. Here are some pictures of the reception with old roommate buddies. I realized when I got home that I didn't get any pictures with Elise and I...which is craziness, but I know her photographer got some good ones so I will post some eventually.


From L to R - Danielle, Rem, Tamara (holding little Tyson), Me, Melissa (holding Lilia) and her new hubby Jake.

Lilia's new trick...standing on her own!! I really think she will walk before she crawls...crazy girl.
This past week our friends Keely and Brandon Glenn came to visit us. Keely and I danced together at BYU and Brandon and Brad have become buddies as a result. Now...our babies have become buddies as well! This is Lilia and Lincoln. They are only three weeks apart and they had a blast playing together. This morning Lilia wanted my undivided attention whilst I was trying to clean up the dishes and I was really missing the fact Lincoln wasn't there so they could play together. I talked to Keely later this afternoon and she said the same thing.
Lincoln got a little excited to try out Lilia's lap....as you can see she loved it.

We love it when people come into town and stay with us because it gives us a good reason to go downtown. It is always dangerous to get two dancers together...we can't help but make a scene, especially in front of the nation's capitol.Our capitol tour! Lilia really like chewing on the neck strap. I felt kinda bad for the next person to get our ear phones because it was definitely soaking when I gave it back to them.

More dance craziness! Oh and look at that tree, it was so beautiful. I love the spring and fall here in VA because the trees are huge and they last even longer than they did in Utah. Dream come true. Now if they just had some huge mountains I'd be set.

Daddy's girl...need I say more?

Baby Lincoln dancing in front of his namesake (that is the Lincoln monument behind us). Lilia is somewhere behind that windbreaker.


National Art Gallery...this is the only picture I have with all four of us. I love that painting behind us by Chuck Close. It was painted using his fingerprints - love the creativity.

Seriously I want to be able to leap in the air like that! That tree really is beautiful. I wish the blossoms lasted longer here in Utah too. You're looking great Holly! Loved reading the update.
