Fruitland for Greyson's Blessing

We are in Fruitland for Greyson's baby blessing. It is fun to stay with Ginger and Sam and family. 

Mom and Dad are here also. We had lunch at Idaho Pizza with Karen, Leroy, and Marita. It was fun to catch up with them. 

Here are some Pics of Grandpa and Grandma's graves in Payette. 

And then we drive by the old farm where Dad grew up. 

And here is the farm house and milking barns. 

It was fun to hear dad talk about swimming in the pond. He and Dan stayed in a bunk house. Ned and Gliria had a house trailer that they stayed in. And dad said their dog was killed on the main road about every two years. It is fun that Ginger and Sam live so close to the farm. 

Baby Stokes Born on Thursday, March 19, 2009

We started the day out by waking up at 5:20 a.m. to get to the hospital by 6:15 a.m. Rachelle was scheduled for a C-Section at 7:30 a.m.

Rachelle looks great, doesn't she? She was nervous because this was her first C-Section.

We are in beautiful Brazil right now. We came here with my BYU EMBA program and we are having a blast. We started in Rio de Janeiro and then Sao Paulo and right now we are in Iguazu Falls. It is amazing.

New Blog

We haven't ever had a blog in the Stokes Family yet but I guess it's about time. It will be fun to update this every once in awhile and let you know what is happening in our lives. We are busy as ever right now but life is good!!
