Grandma is so excited to have another granddaughter to play in all her dress-up clothes and her doll house. Grandma is just a little girl at heart with a little gray in her hair.

Dad with his FOUR children. Looks like he had a rough night.

Our precious Brooklyn arrived on Sunday, Nov. 9th at 5:55 a.m. She weighed 6lbs 15 ozs. and was 19 inches long. After a long night ending in a C section Mom and Baby are doing well.

These are two little princess that showed up at our house.

We had a fun Halloween with all 7 grandchildren out trick 0r treating! It was definetly a TREAT for Grandma.

When you are 20 months old this is REAL COOL!

This little horse wouldn't let Grandma take a picture of him

This is one BEAUTIFUL flower, don't you think?

Hey, Batter,Batter, SWING

Minnie Mouse chose to sleep through the Halloween festivities. What do you expect at only 6 weeks old

It's so FUN to go to the pumpkin patch with GRANDMA!!

Brody thought it would be fun to pull Grandma in the wagon. So I climbed on Board and so did everyone else. I forgot that you get in something you also have to get out. That was not an easy task since my feet couldn't touch the ground.

This was the scene at our home on the morning of Oct. 11 yes I said Oct. not Jan. We came home the night before from Utah on very slick roads and soon after we came through the roads were closed. Yes, those are llama in my front yard. They were wondering what was going on also!

The top picture is more what fall should look like.

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
