Happy 100th Birthday Arizona- Mormon Tabernacle Choir!

On Saturday night we went to see the Mormon
Tabernacle Choir who had come to Phoenix to
celebrate Arizona's 100th birthday on Feb. 14th.
Dad got us "cheap seats" in the nosebleed section
but then Brian Beezer (one of his home teaching
families) had 2 extra tickets and invited us to be
with them in the padded seat section! Very
comfortable! We enjoyed the program & even
saw some action in the choir when they did hand
movements & some body turning. We loved their
signature Battle Hymn Of the Republic.

A Happy Heart Attack!!!

Carole & I came home from our GNO to find
hearts ALL OVER the yard & porch! We
had a "heart attack"! Dad almost caught
the YW doing this- he really scared them
because he was sooo fast getting to the
front door after they rang the doorbell!!!
It was pretty cute- we have never had
this done before. And they even personalized
one of the hearts ("You are the SPAM in my
can").

Adelyn's Baptism & Brenley's Blessing

After traveling for hours, we met Mike & Alissa
& family in Cedar City where they treated us to
a yummy BBQ dinner. We also got to try deep-fried
cauliflower. BTW- it was delicious! The twins
especially liked the french fries!





















Ruth & Tyler & girls and Mark & Mandy &
Caroline also came on Friday night. Adelyn's
baptism was at 10 am on Saturday & she
was baptized by dad Mike.





















Here's a family pose after the baptism.
Adelyn got a beautiful white dress for
this special occasion.





















Lots of Hamiltons and Crocketts gathered at the
house for a lunch after Adelyn's baptism- taco
salad and delicious Tres Leches Cake. Then it
was time for everyone to drive to Tyler & Ruth's house
to be there for Brenley's blessing on Sunday (she is
already a month old). The Taylor family also came
down for that. Anna loves to hold babies and she
does a great job with Brenley!

















This is Beautiful Brenley in her blessing dress- the
heirlom dress that Ruth made for all Nay girls to wear.














And here is the Nay family at the blessing.





















After the blessing all the Nays & the Crocketts gathered
for a lunch. There was more than enough food for the
50+ people- BBQ chicken & pork, turkey, potato salad,
nachos, spinach dip. AND the famous bread pudding by
Ellis!


















We took the opportunity to give Mandy her birthday
present since it was a group gift and so many of the
group were there. Can you tell she was surprised?
Wicked! (That's the name of the play she will be
seeing.)

















All the Crocketts stayed long enough to play a couple
rounds of "Pit". Even Caroline got into it!

















While the game was going on upstairs, the kids were
having a great time downstairs. Can you tell that
this is Mary Poppins??? Oops- I mean Will????





















Anna got a wheelchair for her doll at
Christmas & she absolutely loves it!
Tyler found a new use for this fun toy
(watch the clip). Years from now, Brenley
can talk to Tyler about this when she sees
it played at her wedding reception!
