Little T meets Big T !!!






Hi Everybody,

Well, Elle and I were hanging out with the parents on Friday night getting ready to watch the Jazz pre-game show on TV when my Daddy realized that he had tickets to the game. Mom said...."why not take the girls to the game?". So off we go to our first Jazz game. As you know, we have been getting alot of publicity lately so its hard to go out into public without people noticing that you are twins and all. So, we are walking by the TV announcers in the arena and we get a shout out from Pace Mannion! "Yo! Girls! Can I hold you???" Some of you may not know who Pace is, but he is a famous Utah basketball player turned announcer on TV. His career record of 1.2 points per game is pretty memorable, so much so that Uncle Jared even has his old Jazz jersey! Anyway, we reluctantly agreed to do a picture with him.....

He's kind of a geek, but a pretty nice guy nonetheless...

Next thing you know, 'Big T.' (also known as Thurl Bailey) wants a picture with us too! We agreed again, but didn't give him an autograph or anything. That man is one tall dude! He is also an announcer for the Jazz and played for them alot more than Pace did.....


Then, we hit the stands and start watching the game. Pretty exciting stuff. During half time, they retired Hot Rod Hundley's microphone (Jazz announcer for 35 years or something!) and raised a banner next to Karl and Stockton and the rest of them. The crowd was so excited with all the celebrity in the arena that they chanted for me to stand up and take a bow, which I did reluctantly. The attention was getting so overwhelming that Elle and I decided to go home after the third quarter to avoid all of the attention we would get at the end of the game.


Need less to say, all of this excitement required us to eat every two hours the rest of the night! Elle's gonna have to watch her figure because she is gaining weight and is starting to bust out of the premie diapers!

We are working on a better strategy to ditch the paparazzi but letting them have a picture every now and then is just part of the territory. Love to everyone.

Taylee Jean (a.k.a. T-Bug or 'Little T'....)

I can't believe they went to the Jazz game! You and John are so brave. I can't believe they got to meet PACE and Bailey. I am sure Jared will love those pics :) They are getting so big and have totally changed in the last week. I just can't get enough, they are adorable!
