Senior Pictures for Daisy

In April I took graduation photos for my niece who was graduating from BYU, and Daisy came with me as an assistant to help smooth windblown hair and cheer up fussy babies and so forth. (Sweet Parker was never fussy though, bless him.) While we were there I took some pictures of Daisy too, since she'll be a BYU Student herself come September!

"Seasons" ballet

 

You would think everyone would have been all balleted out after "Giselle," but the girls' studio did another show too because none of the youngest classes got to have parts in Giselle! This one was more of a recital format (loosely held together with the theme of "Seasons") and it was fun because the older girls could choose more of what they wanted to do, and Daisy got to do a "Senior Solo" since she is graduating this year! She danced a solo from "La Corsaire" and wore this beautiful costume. It was bittersweet to see her dancing her (probably) last solo! When we tried out ballet classes just for fun during the Pandemic, I never knew she would become such an accomplished dancer in just a few short years. This is a part of her life she'll be sad to leave behind!

Daisies

Our neighbors' daisies are out and, as we aren't in Oregon at the moment, it's the closest we've got to daisy fields! A few quick pictures, then, of this almost-16-year-old Daisy girl in her natural habitat (and a few others who happened to be passing by…)

Poppies

 

The kids and I took a little field trip up Brigham City way to get milkshakes, play on a new playground, and see the poppy fields in Mantua. It's the first time I've ever left the highway while going through Sardine Canyon, and I've always wondered about the towns there. It was a beautiful day!
