I am proud to announce that I have a new baby brother. No, he does not have a name yet. He was born a little after midnight, 12:16. He is a cute baby. He weighs 6 pounds, and 12 ounces. He is 20 inches long, so small. This is my dad's 12th kid, and my mom's 9th kid. He is so cute. Here is the story:

At about 10:00, my guess, my big sister Amber came into my room and told me that mom was in the process of having the baby, she actually came in to close the door, because she didn't want us the wake up if there was any noise. Then at 6:50 I looked at my clock and wondered, "Why hasn't Mom waken me up to have scripture study," then I remembered. So I went in and she was holding a tiny little bundle, and then she told me it was a boy. She always has her babies be a surprise, so we didn't know what it would be. And then I went and got dressed.

After getting dressed I asked my mom, "Mom is there anything I can do to help?" And she told me, "Could you go downstairs, and make me 2 packs of apple cinnamon oatmeal?" So, I went down. Once I was finished making it I tasted it, and it was TOO watery. So I went to my mom and said, "Mom, I ruined your oatmeal." So she told me to go and remake it, and throw the old batch in the trash. Then I made it the RIGHT way.

I held the baby while my mom got dressed, and got ready, she wasn't all the way ready, but she got mostly dressed, she was still half way in her PJ's.

When I went to school all I could talk about was the baby.

So there is the story, Well I best be off! See ya!
