Marnee Dortch's Lehi Senior Prom - Ammon is escort!

It would seem that the Dortch family can't get rid of the Hardie's . . .

We have known the Dortch's since Becca and Jon were in 1st grade in Highland - they were in the same class with Cameron Dortch. Then the Dortch's moved to Saratoga (before it was a city). Over the years, Jon and Cameron stayed in touch.

Then, before we moved to Eagle Mountain, Jamie began school at Lehi Jr. High and she would stay with Malaree Dortch after school.


Maloree and Jamie went to school together and were good friends.


Later, Jamie married Matt Jensen, and Matt is also good friends with the Dortch family.


. . . and then there is Marnee. Ammon and Marnee Dortch were in elementary school together and Jr. High. They have also become good friends!




. . . SO, to prom they went. They both said they had a wonderful time at Lagoon,


then dinner,


and then at the formal prom held at the Union Pacific Building, downtown SLC.

However, with all of their activity, they missed their appointment to get their photos taken, and at 12:30 AM they were at our house for photos.

They look so cute, but their photographer is worth about what they paid her . . . (chuckle) - Never the less, here they are looking all grown up!

Daisy got her Spring Hair Cut

Only this morning, Daisy looked just like a huge big white snowball with eyes. She is still pretty round though. Jim keeps feeding her between meal snacks!

Ammon's new car!

In January, Ammon was all enamored with a black Mazda Protege, which he had decided to buy from his friend. HOWEVER - after being picked up for the most silly violations and having the cops (and I'm a cop and thought they were silly) ask about drugs over and over again, (they wanted inside that car) Ammon began to think that Mazda was the most awful cop magnet on the planet.

I had told him he had to remove the Skull and cross bones sticker on it, as it was a dead give away for a drug car, but he couldn't ever get it off. Perhaps, fortunately, Ammon never could work out the final purchase, so he ended up taking a rather substantial financial loss and gave the car back to his friend. Then Ammon went to the church fleet sales and bought this beige Chevy Malibu. He says, "Oh Yeah! I can just drive by the cops and not one of them even gives me a second glance. I love a plain car"

Bye - see ya' later Mom!

Finally publishing Christmas 2007
