Tucker has arrived!

Sara gave birth to her second son this morning at 12:12 a.m. Tucker weighed 9 lbs 13 oz, one ounce more than Brycen, and he took a significantly shorter time of getting out than what Brycen took. Congrats to Sara and Ryan.

Notes from the field & Aunt Helen

Mmm. Chicken Cordon Bleu!

Aunt Helen sent the following notes:


Dear Family and Friends,
I had an amazing call on Sunday night from a sister in James' mission. She wanted my recipe for Chicken Cordon Bleu so she could feed it to him when he came to dinner last night. It is the Lion House recipe and I cook it every year for Christmas. I had a great chat with her. It was fun. These pictures arrived. I just wanted to share them. I hope you have a glorious Christmas and a Wonderful 2009.
I am thankful for people like you in my life!
Love,
Helen

Hey there Marble family,

So, we just had dinner with your wonderful son. It was a really fun evening with the sister missionaries that serve in the singles ward that also meets in our building. We are enjoying having him back in our ward and thought that you might like a picture or two from our evening courtesy of our 11 yr. old. The Cordon Bleu was amazing and he seemed to really enjoy it - he even had seconds!

It was a pleasure to talk with you the other night. I felt like we were old friends. I can see why Elder Marble has such an amazing personality. His commitment to the gospel is very strong and we can see how happy he is to be serving the Lord.

Merry Christmas!

Rita

Upcoming

Hey everyone, this is just a friendly reminder that John and that beautiful fiance of his will be getting married this weekend. We send out our happiest congratulations to the cute couple. Alex and I expect to be at the reception and look forward to seeing many family members there! If anyone has Halloween pictures I'd love to post them. I was a murder mystery novelist, but everyone kept mistaking me for a Relief Society President. Here are Henry boy and Grace girl, also known as Spiderman and his daring sidekick, Hula Girl

just so you know.

Elder Colten Iverson is doing good. Hopefully you've previously checked my blog to know this already, but i just thought i'd let everyone know. He eats Bonku on a regular basis, its this doughy stuff that your not supposed to chew, and then he dips in "nut soup" which he said is very spicy but he likes it more now than he used to. He is just your average missionary spiritual giant, and it's great to hear from him. He is still adjusting to the Ghanaian culture, (if thats how u spell it) and the life of a missionary, but he is surviving and gettin stronger everyday. If you ever want any more details on how he is doing (because I'm sure all of you do, deep down you really wanna know) feel free to call me up and I'd be happy to tell ya :) My best wishes to the whole family i love you all. Actually- me and Colten talked about this, we are so blessed to have big families we love very much and who love us and support us through everything, so thanks to all of you guys for your love, and for just being part of my family!!! I consider myself very lucky to be part of the Bramall clan, and I'm so grateful I cant even explain it. Families are forever, and I'm glad. I love you guys. Peace out.

Here is a special picture from the family archives. That would be Sara, Jesse, Sammy, and Susannah. I have no compunction against posting embarrassing pictures of everyone else but me. Love you guys!!

Pops

My dad got a HUGE elk, but he hasn't emailed me pictures yet. Still, you are welcome to congratulate him.

Jesse has moved to Provo, and Sammy's "good friend" Colton has gone to Ghana on his mission. Susannah has started hair school. Sara is having a boy. I cut my hair really short. . .

Amy shot her first wedding and it is awesome. You can see a sampling if you are her friend on Facebook or over at her blog, which is linked in the sidebar.

I'm scraping the barrel here. Send me news!
