Eva, my oldest daughter. She sparkles. She shines. She loves me and we're best friends. When she was asking about her childhood I looked it up on the blog and at 7 years old she was only tagged in 6 posts!! Of course that's because I use Facebook and Instagram but we thought it was time for some Eva highlights and stories. Since we just got back from Utah we'll highlight that trip a little bit. It was Eva's first flight. All three of the others flew as an infant for either a wedding or a funeral. It was so exciting. Although today marks a week home, Eva asks to return to Utah several times a day. She loved it. She loves her family.

Eva loves collecting things. When we went on a nature walk she'll pick one of every flower that she likes. Paige and Sawyer followed right along with her collecting with her. Eva finished with three golf balls, sticks, and tons of flowers. The flowers of Utah are so different from what we're used to. While we were there, she was also the "Queen" of their secret fort. She directed efforts to decorate the fort with rocks and flowers.
When we were in Provo, Matt and Robyn took us to Bridal Veil Falls. I thought it was just a waterfall to see but when we got there people were walking in the water so we hopped in too. I took this shot right when Eva got in. We weren't expecting the water to be so COLD!! I think she looks pretty shocked. She loved it and wouldn't be outdone hiking either. She hiked just as high as the boys did!
Luckily, Aunt Becca is magical with all things beautiful. Eva got her hair done in Becca's style and it took her three days before she took it down. It took me bribing her with pink face masks to convince her.

This is just a silly picture we took at the dentist office trying to compare eyes. She is such a beautiful girl. I love watching her grow up.
