The After Party

Let's pick up where we left off... when last we met, Elinor had just won the Miss Riverton Scholarship Competition!!!! Yay!!!!!  Here are a bunch of pictures we took while celebrating on stage afterwards.

A very happy family picture.  Years ago we had a super happy family moment when Clark's First Lego League team-- Pi Pod-- won the very first such competition in Utah.  We were all so shocked and happy.  We still talk about that moment and how much fun it was.  This night was another such night.  Although to be honest, we weren't shocked that Elinor won-- it was just so exciting for her and so memorable that Bethany got to be the one to crown her and be back-to-back Miss Rivertons.  

The Foxy Ladies-- looking very royal

I love this picture.

And this one--

--these girls have been so blessed to have a dad who adores them and is devoted to them.  

Clark, Beth, and Els---for years, that's how we've referred to these three oldest Fox kids.  Clark, Beth, and Els.   Those first few years of parenting went so slowly.  I remember it so well.  And then time sped up in a serious way.  And now, these three are all ADULTS!! What the heck?  How did that happen so quickly?  My favorite thing about them is how much they enjoy and appreciate one another.  Clark recently told Bethany on her most recent weekend home that he didn't want her to leave and go back up to school-- that he liked the dynamic with her home.  That makes this mom heart exceedingly happy.  Bethany is barefoot in this picture and Elinor has heels on, so the height difference isn't quite what it seems in the picture.   

Proud Mama and Papa.

Proud Grandma and Grandpa.

The Endemano boys have always been there for the Fox girls-- I love that they were there for this one too:)  

Getting up on stage and putting yourself out there takes real guts-- and I was very impressed with all these young ladies who were so brave.

Here is the official picture of the 2021 Riverton Royalty that the city photographer took. 

The whole evening definitely called for a celebration at Arctic Circle:)
