Official Celebrations

Yes, it is finally Official! Although Whit and Pete have basically been engaged for quite some time, the ring is on her finger. Pete came in early Friday afternoon (luckily before the hurricane hit)! They went hiking on Saturday morning. They hiked all the way up to the top of a mountain, and he got down on one knee. How exciting for them! Her ring is beautiful, and we're so glad things are official. Pete had Whitney worried. She didn't think the ring was coming this trip, so he did a good job fooling her. We're so happy for them. Pete is a great guy. I know he is going to be a great husband to Whit and a great dad to Isabelle. He's getting a couple great girls, too!While Pete was here, they also celebrated Isabelle's b-day with a shindig at my parent's house. It was a Tinkerbell themed party, and Isabelle was dressed as Tink! She was so adorable. Pete and Whit made pizza benders, which were delicious. Whit was worried about how the cake was going to turn out, but they did such a great job! It was such a fun party, and it was fun to meet some of the Klc clan that we don't see at church. Happy birthday, Itchy!
On Friday night, we went up to the mountains with my family to have campfire dinners while Pete was here. It was a perfect night, and so fun to be up there! Dan made his famous Dutch oven peach cobbler--Oh, man, was that good! It was fun to hang out with the fam. Makee had a great time. I felt like we got to spend a little more time with Pete and get to know him better on this trip. He fits in so well with our family, and we are so glad he is joining our family. I like him more and more the more I hang out with him. Pete took care of Isabelle while Whit went to work, and he is so sweet with her. She just loves him. It's like he has been her Daddy all along. Now Pete is back in Mexico, but we're hoping he'll be back for Thanksgiving!
