My Dearest Friends,

As you are the dearest friends anyone could have. Loved the pictures of Whitney added to the family and Kyle & Emily's Wedding and Bear Lake. It was so neat to see the Tree House at "our" cabin and water skiing. I think Cory was one of the skiers and Jodi another. A lot has happened here in Mesa. Dad and I are still breathing. He hasn't gone out on the golf course yet, nor made it to Church. I insist he make it to Church first. Don't plan on golfing when you come down for Thanksgiving. We aren't going to renew our membership unless a miracle happens. It doesn't look like Dad will be golfing again. We don't talk too loudly about that. Jeff is still going to therepy for his broken shoulder. But he goes to work every day. Jeff comes over and tells us about different happenings in their ward. How they have baptized many and getting others reactivated through activities such as a homemade icecream contest. Jeff made a burnt almond fudge icecream which came in third place. He's promised to make some for us. He called last night and said he had Cory's name sign. He brought it over and it has an airplane on it. It looks neat! Jill, do you have yours up yet? I talked with both Cory & Joel about coming down. Cory might come down during Conference which is just 2 weeks away. Joel hopes to make it down after Chris gets back from South America. That will be this week for Chris to get back. Joel's sign will have a deer or an elk on it. I love you all very much. Love ibm and gma

Here She Is!

We are so excited to introduce Whitney Elizabeth! She was born on August 29, 2009 at 7:27 p.m. weighing 7 lbs. 14 oz. and 22 inches long! It's hard to explain the feelings you have as you bring another little one into this world. There is such an instant bond of love that we have for her. We are so glad to have her here safe and sound and to be a part of our family! We truly feel so blessed!

Spencer wasn't quite ready to hold her yet, but loved looking at her and wanted to make sure she was okay when she was crying.
Wow! A family of 5!
Abby couldn't get enough of her.
Whitney is so lucky to have such a good big brother and big sister!
