Introducing.... ta dah!!!.... ASHER JOSEPH PARKER!!!!

Our latest arrival as of Wednesday May 4th, 201l. Luke's little brother Asher. Asher took his first swim, even before his first breath, as his was a water delivery with all the comforts of home. He came rolling in at a whopping 8 pounds even, 20 1/2 inches long. Mother (Serene) and baby are healthy, happy and extremely content, all is well.

and... His happy Daddy Dustin...

Also, Kelly's mother broke her hip early Sunday Morning 5/1/11, She is recovering pretty good, with a few blips along the way, but she should be able to return home by the middle of May. We are all anxious for that fine day.. none more than she!

Bryce's first email home from the MTC

What's up? Yea, my whole district is going to Minnesota with me, all ten of us.
Elder Taggart is my companion and he's from Morgan Utah. uh i still have yet to send any pics.. i'm gonna print some and send them that way.
We get 30 minutes every day and we're doing laundry now, we cut a deal to do it at six am instead of 4 pm or something so its not so crowded :D
My days are packed because I'm a pilot mission which means when most missionaries teach 6 times we teach 24... we are taught to to teach another way, its pretty tight. Thanks for the packages! They were really fun to receive. And tasty. TU.

so, Bryce is all Delivered safe and sound in the Missionary Training Center, Provo, UT; where he will stay until May 11th when he leaves for Minnesota, Minneapolis Mission Home. He'll be in the mission which covers most of Minnesota, some of Wisconnson, Michigan and Ontario Canada. So he could serve in a lot of different places, only time will tell. We will try to keep this blog and his two web pages specifically for his mission up dated. . . so check back and see if we accomplish that goal..=)
