It's A Girl
Baby Girl Clement was born Sept 17 and came weighing 10 lbs, 7 oz and is 23 inches. There are no "bird legs" on this girl.
Her big brothers adore her. I am sure that there will be lots of help for mom and dad.
This little girl will be well loved

A Busy Fun August
The day after Katherine, Alyssa, Joseph and Timothy came to Utah we attended the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House.
On our way to the Wirkus/Egbert reunion.
The outfits weren't planned!
We took Hailey to Idaho with us to keep Alyssa company.
They really had a good time.

It was fun having three of our five children in the same place.

Following a are few samplings of August adventures.
David got a cool new phone. Seems it's a guy attraction.
Caleb and Mason wanting to play with Timothy
Alyssa and Hailey enjoyed spending time together. This is a sampling of the "sparkle and glitter" projects that they did with grandma.
We have all spent time snuggling with Timothy.
Here is the new tub in the beginnings of the bathroom.
It's a little hard to tell but this is the status of the new bathroom in the basement.

Bryce National Park and Grand Canyon
This has been a trip of "firsts" for us. Ross and I have never been to Grand Canyon and although I went to Bryce as a youth, we have never been there together. We have totally enjoyed the last two days. And, we found one advantage to getting old -- a lifetime pass to all the national parks!!! A bargain at $10.00!!

Standing up on the rock formation at Angel's Point, North Rim of Grand Canyon. Ross was not going to let go of that rock for anything!

Bits and Pieces in July -- A Little Here and a Little There.
A Weekend Getaway
On July 10 we went with Albrechts, Hansens and Deb Wooley down to Fremont to Karl and Jeri's retirement home.
While there we bottled 84 pints of strawberry shelf jam.
Besides canning jam, Karl took us to the Petroglyphs at Capital Reef and to Fish Lake for dinner.
Clement Gathering
On July 14 we were able to gather with all of Ross's brothers and their wives. There were also quite a few cousins that were able to attend. We enjoyed being together with everyone and wish that this could happen more often.

Lots and lots of kids

Lots of kids that had on name tags -- now I can't read the tags. HELP!

A Day at the Zoo with the Clement Family
Marissa was very brave and touched the snake.

I'm looking for Hailey on her tiger!

Pine Valley Utah
July 22, 2009 Pine Valley Utah Chapel. This is the oldest chapel in the church still in use. This is where Dorinda Goheen attended church. They have a memorial to her with her picture and description of her quilts and awards as well as the wooden quilt chest that she brought with her from Texas.
This wall is devoted to Dorinda with her wooden quilt chest featured as a prize artifact.
This is the wooden chest that Dorinda brought from Texas to Utah. It is in a prominent spot in the Pine Valley Church.
Ross found his great grandmother's grave in the weed choked Pine Valley Cemetary.

A Day at the Farm
This morning Becca and the boys went with us to Thanksgiving Point Children's Farm. We had lots of fun petting and feeding the animals and riding the horses. After we left I thought that I had lost my camera so we went back to the parking lot. My camera wasn't there but we did find Ross's sunglasses just sitting there in the dirt. After we got home I found the camera in a box of crackers in my bag!!
Caleb wasn't too sold on learning to milk a cow.
The boys LOVED the animals.
