Finally the arrival of Zaylie Pearl

Cute Story:  While working in the Church cannery in Boise we received a call from our stake president.  In fact their were seven messages on our cell phone from President Woods, when we returned his call he said an Elder Tenorio from Mexico had been trying to contact us for several days, with no luck; when he would call our answering machine would say "We're either up hiking or in the hot tub"  To have privacy we went to Brooks home and in her office returned the call to Elder Tenorio at which time he extented the "calling" to serve in the presidency of the Veracruz Temple for three years.  Even though we were in shock, Robert answered him "I have never turned down a call, so I will not turn down this one.  BROOK SUSPECTED SOMETHING..  We went out to lunch with the kids to McDonald's and while eating she said "O.K. whats going on".  Our plan was to get all of the kids together the following night for "The Announcement".   Well we told Brook then and she about started to cry and said "But mom you promised you wouldn't go on another mission, til I had my last baby"..................so this is where the CUTE STORY begins.  Her and Dustin planned right then to go ahead and get pregnant, so thier baby could be born during the two weeks when the temple was closed and we would be home in July.  Let's see how they did--the date of the above was SEPTEMBER 17, 2009
