Whitney Joan

This is our little Whitney Joan named after her great grandmother. She even sleeps like her.

The clothes they brought for pictures didn't fit. She is so tiny.

That's Grandma thumb up next to her little foot.

Here she is welcome by Mom and big Brother, Brayden.

Our little Whitney was born Sept. 16, 2008 at 4:47 p.m. She weighed in at 4lbs. 13 ozs. and 16 inches long. We are glad to have her here. She is doing well and so is Mom. Brayden gets to come to Idaho and stay with Grandma and Grandpa for a few days. Mom really needs the rest from this very, very active little boy who has a very pleasant personality. We are having lots of fun. He has 5 cousins to play with here.

Twin Falls Temple

This summer we had the privilege to participate in the open house and dedication of the Twin Falls Temple. We feel so blessed to have a temple so close now. We were tour guides for the open house and got to spend two wonderful days leading tours of people from all over the world and many different faiths sharing the purpose for temples. It was a tremendous experience to share with people from all walks of life. We had the opportunity to be in the temple with our children for the dedication.
It was a experience we will always cherish.

The summer draws to a close and again it is harvest time in our "magic valley". I am posting some pictures of the farm for those of you who may have some of that farmer blood in you. The wheat is all harvested and we hope for one more crop of hay. There is still corn to be harvested.

It's takes 4 to go 4 wheelin' when the driver is Grandpa

The grain harvest in progress. The good looking man moving the pipe around is none other than Calvin.

Family-We love them!!

Here we all are at the Twin Falls temple dedication.

Patrick is working at ATK and they just bought a home in Tremonton. They are getting a little closer. We look forward to this being the LAST move we help them with.

This is Brayden with his personality written all over his face. He is a very busy 18 month old who is just pleasant to be around but impossible to keep up with.

Kenna, Josh, Jamie and Shari

It's great to be four and get to go to preschool. Shari Ann is very excited about being big enough to go to school.

Jamie Sue is two and we just happened to catch her smiling. When she does she is so adorable
