TORI DAZE!!!!

I cant' come down off my Tori high!! Jeff and I have been "band aids" before for her and we cought the bug again. We flew to Phoenix to see her. Waited for 6 hours in 115 degree heat to meet her. She didnt come out cause it was to hot. Such a bummer. But for my dedication I did upgraded to front row seats by her body guard! She was even more amazing then I remember her.

Then we headed home to SLC. Kaylee and I went to meet her and she showed up! I met her before and made a fool of myself. I still did a bit this time but I got to tell her what song I wanted to hear and why. She was so nice and when I started talking she immediatly put down her pen and just listened to whatever I had to say. It was a bit strange, I didnt' think shed be so interested. But she did play my request and it was emotional to say the least. I cried no bawled through all of the song, "china." overall it was an amazing experiance and I can't wait for the next show.

I spent so much time taking video of the show. I got awsome movies. As we were walking out her body guard came up to me and said "come with me." I knew what they were going to do. so I go to a back room and they take my memory card and erase all my video. They were worried I was going to sell the clips. My camera takes good movies so I guess that was the issue. But they were nice enough to let me keep my stills.

Jordans Birthday/Kaylees Solo

Jordans 2nd Birthday was Feb 27, and its so fun to see how much he is growing up! He is just learning to talk and jabbering all over the place. Jordan is my silliest of all the kids, and keeps up laughing all the time. I cant' wait to hear what is going on in his head. He loved his toys, but kept going back to shoot on his old hoop! It always happens that way doens't it? Like Jaxon used to do, Jordan stands in front of his hoop and shoots all day. His favorite tv shows are Barney, and any basketball game dad is watching. Seriously, he wont sit still for any other cartoon, but will fall asleep to basketball!

Earlier that same day, Kaylee had her first competition of the season. She performed her first solo. I was a wreck! I couldnt' sleep for 2 nights, and couldn't sit still until her performance was over. I knew she was going to do absolutly wonderful, she had practiced so hard, but I was stilll nervous. I really can't explain it..... But she did do wonderful and she took first place Queen! It was so awsome!

I love this picture because after she was done, I ran backstage, (i dont think im supposed to do that....) but I was so happy she did so well and you can just see in her face how energized she was and I could tell she was so proud of herself. It was SO SO SO Special for Kaylee that Brianne was there. Brianne made up her solo and they have been working on it for so long. Brianne lives in LA, and so kaylee knew it just wasnt' going to work for Brianne to be there. Last miniute Brianne got to come to town to help Stubbs out with her make up show, (explains the feathers and heavy eyeshadow!) and so she was able to suprise Kaylee right before she went on. I havent' seen KK so excited in a long time! She looks up to Brianne so much and wants to be just like her. So I think that gave her the energy to perform so well. Thanks so much Brianne.

One other thing, KK's class did two other numbers, and one of them got 1st palce, overall, That ment out of 70 dances, they won 1st place. I love being a mom to Kaylee, it so fun to do this "girly" stuff.

Baxter, my little Gentleman

Here is our new dog! Baxter. A christmas present the kids thought they would never get. I actually thought that same thing. I never thought I could handle a dog..and Im still learning. Once we get this potty training thing down, I will like Baxter so much more. He is a cute

Shih Tsu and we do love him.

Susan and JJ tied the knot December 19. It was such a beautiful wedding and they are the cutest couple. Somehow I didnt' get a picture of the two of them, but here are some others.

NEW YEARS EVE

New Years Eve we had a little "Murder Mystery" at our house. We had a game that gave us the setting at The Watersdown Mansion. So Kaylee was the Maid to serve H'ourdorves, and Jaxon was the Butler to let the guests in. :) Jaxon HATED his mustache, and when the guests came to the door he said "Welcome to the Mansion, please take your seats." Here are a look at some of the guests....minus Sheryl. We missed her for the pictures


This picture makes me so happy! I love looking at this picture! Jordan knew something was going on (youll see why in a minute....something wasn't the same about Jeff and I) So he wanted to pose for a picture too. He stood there forever to let me get a pictures.



Here is ROG, (JJ), Donny (Jeff), and Pro (Chad) It was awsome how everyone got so into there part

Heres the ladies, Ali (Susan), Randy (Kim, by the way is due in like 1 week!!! She looks awsome!) and Flo (me)

Please dont mind my homemade dress, I wanted a flapper dress, so I sewed Drapery fringies to my dress!! Hideous I know but it was fun. So thats why my fringies are struggling :)

Sheryl was E.R.A, and was a hot little secretary. She was awsome at her part. Everyone did a great job and we are now planning the second one! Good times. Oh and ROG, (JJ) was the killer.
