Tracie's Dance Concert in Logan

Ellie and her bag of jelly beans (that ended up all down my shirt and pants when she got tired of chewing them :}



Look at that amazing height and form!!! (Tracie's on the left - in the great dress :)





Tracie was in a trio dancing to Paul McCartney's "Blackbird" and it was so thrilling! Come to think of it, the whole concert was totally thrilling and it was so much fun having the whole fam damily there :D










My beautiful girls after Tracie's concert.







Everyone had to head home to go to work the next day except April, the kids and me! We rented a hotel room in Logan :D Victoria and Ellie slept with April in one queen size bed, and Brayden and Audrey slept with me in the other bed. (And I use the term "slept" loosely.) I woke up totally sweating and claustrophobic around midnight with those two hot little bodies plastered against mine. Then poor Ellie kept waking up and coughing, so she and April didn't get much sleep either.














After an "all you can eat" breakfast, and Audrey freaking out thinking that Brayden had stolen her bowl of Fruit Loops, we got into our swimming suits and hit the hotel pool. Speaking of hitting, I was holding Audrey in one arm while she was having a splashing fight with Victoria and Brayden. She went to throw an arm-ful of water at them and ended up smacking me in the face. With a stunned look on her face, she said, "Sorry!"















I talked Ellie & Audrey into getting out of the cold hotel pool and going back to our room to take a warm bath. (They LOVE baths and come running any time they hear some bath water running :)









After I pried the girls out of the bathtub, I wrapped them up and sat them in front of the TV to watch a "boofie" while I showered.











We stopped for lunch at Wendy's before heading home after such a fun evening and night in Logan.
