Legally Blond!

Two years ago while we were in New York, our niece, Kimber Crandall told us the musical Legally Blond was really cute. We had the kids there with us and ended up seeing Wicked instead. After the kids left, Brad & I went to see Legally Blond and LOVED it. We were so sad that Jordan & Tara didn't get to see it. So when we heard it was coming to Salt Lake we bought tickets immediately!

Here is Brad & Tara in front of the Capital Theater before the show!

Here we all are! Tara loved the play as much as we did.

K, It was TOTALLY Tara's idea (well maybe not totally, but she was more than just a willing participant)!

Jordan is leaving the MTC on Monday and Tara & I really wanted to see her one more time, but we knew that it would make Jordan cry. So we wanted to see her without her being able to see us. So we came up with this great idea. We would hide and spy on her when she was walking up to the temple.

So here is Tara in her camouflage hiding and looking through her binoculars!

Tara making sure Jordan couldn't see us!

I think Tara had forgotten that it had snowed, so I actually thought my camouflage worked much better than hers.



Mission Accomplished!
Here is Jordan with a group of people walking up to the temple.
Her hair made her easy to spot!



She never even glanced our direction!

I actually had my camera zoomed as far as it would go and then cropped the pictures even more on the computer at home!

It was so awesome to see her, even if only from a distance!

Jordan's school assignment!

Halle and I were on youtube and found this video. Jordan would KILL me if she knew I put this on our blog, but we thought it was totally cute and are putting it on anyway, and there isn't much she can do about from where she is! (haha) This was a skit for one of her classes at BYU! (It's kind of hard to hear jordan because the camera was on the opposite side of the auditorium and right by the piano, but if you've seen this song in Les Mis, you will know what she is singing!)

One of the things I LOVE about living in Utah!

One of the best perks of living in Utah, is that during the winter the elementary schools let all the kids out early one day a week, for a ski day. They will bus the kids up to Sundance and bring them back down to the school in the evening if they don't have a parent to take them skiing! Our ski day is Thursday, so Josh, Halle & I try to go up every week. Brad was able to make it up with us last week for a few hours.

Here are Josh & Halle!

Josh & his classmate Charlie heading up on their own!

We received Jordan's first email home which was a big relief. I had been picturing her in the MTC crying and homesick, so it was nice to know I couldn't have been more wrong, she is doing great. Her email is posted on her blog!

Au Revoir et Salut Soeur Pearce!

Jordan went into the MTC this afternoon! I have started a blog for her mission where I will put on pictures and her letters. I have more pictures on there of all the cousins and friends coming to say their good-byes. Here we are in front of the MTC sign!

The family and the grandparents in front of the MTC!

Being escorted inside by the Elders. They were really cute and doing a good job of talking with her and making sure she didn't fall apart!

Halle's 1st Gymnastics Meet!

Halle had her first gymnastics meet last week. She did awesome! They have 3 meets and if they can get an overall score of 34 at any of the first 3 meets they can go on and compete at the next 3 meets, as well as move to the next level in June. She earned a 34.6 at this first meet!

On the beam!

The bars!

You can see she has her salute down!

This is Halle with her scores after the meet!
