Wicked!

I have 25 minutes to beat Julianne to the Blog. We just got back from Wicked, and Oh My Goodness! It was Sooo Good. Thank you so much for the ticket Julianne, it might just be the best Christmas present I ever got. It was amazing and I feel so much better actually knowing the story behind the story. We have been looking forward to it for so long, it's kind of a let down that it is over now, but it was so worth the wait.

Guess who?

It was pedicure night last night...

Hailey and the Cousins

All 8 of our grandchildren.

All during church at Rory's blessing Hailey kept saying, "I want to hold Rory." So when she came up at Aunt Cille's and asked to wash her hands, I knew what she wanted. She loves babies.

Hailey is a three year old handful. Kristina calls her a Tornado. Kristina called me this morning and was almost in tears because Hailey had cut her hair. And not just a little bit either. She also got into some perfume, some nail polish, peed on the bathroom floor and trashed her bedroom. Kristina was ready to sell her for really cheap. Sarah wasn't buying though. Good thing they were comming down so Kristina could have a break.

Jaydon and Rory are one month and 3 days apart, just like Colin and Michayla. I wonder if they will be as good of friends as Colin and Kayla when they are older.

Jaydon's Blessing Day

Jaydon Vance Porter was blessed in our ward Sunday March 1, 2009. It was fun to show off our new grandchildren to the ward. Michael's Grandma Moore made Jaydon's darling tux, complete with tails. And Melanie, Kristina's neighbor made his blanket.

Jaydon Vance is named for Vance so of course Vance had to be there for his blessing. We are so glad he came. Michael is a very proud father, and gave a Jaydon a beautiful blessing.

Michayla and Hailey think their baby is pretty special and Colin really likes having another boy cousin.

This was Todd's first opportunity to show off his new daughter, Rory Elizabeth Gardiner. He is a very proud daddy too.

This is the first chance for most of the family to meet Rory. It is fun to have babies so close together again, a month and 3 days apart just like Colin and Michayla.

Precocious Baby!

Kristina called last night to tell us that Jaydon was rolling from his stomach to his back and Julianne and Carolee and I all told her he must have done it by accident because he was much too young to be able to do that. We took LaRae and GG Nona Piercy to see him today and Michael showed us that they got a video of him rolling over, so we said put him down on a blanket and let's see. So she did and he did and we saw. He is one STRONG little boy. He lifts up his head and arches his back and over he goes. And he is only 10 days old. Watch out Kris, I think you will have your work cut out for you with this one.

GG Nona got a kick out of Jaydon's wrinkles. He looks like a little old man.
