It seems like it is a tradition in our family to see firetrucks when we are on vacation. We were at liberty jail and saw a fire station within walking distance. The boys were very excited to see them.
Liberty Jail
Papa and Jared at Liberty Jail.
Adam-onhi-amen...Jared thinks it is a ball. Good thing he didn't try and eat it.
Doesn't get prettier than this!!!
I loved this picture of Nathan runny at Adam-ohni-amen. The boys wouldn't not wear jackets the entire trip, and it was quite chilly. Nathan decided that he would wear Grammy's long sleeved shirt.
Going for a walk at Adam-ondi-amen, but Jared being a little hesitant. He sticks to him mama like glue.
I love this picture too.
Cool dude. I almost mistook Jared for Nathan in this picture. They are both getting so big. Probably twice a month, I have strangers ask if Jared and Nathan are twin...they are two years apart.
PJ being his happy, calm, mild self.
Family Center on main street in downtown Nauvoo. The boys also got to make a rope and see how a barrel was made. We also went to the blacksmith, bakery, and many more places where the early saints lived.

Nathan's rope that he made.
The window that Joseph Smith fell out of at Carthage Jail where he was shot.
Carthage Jail. All of these places were so neat to see and really strengthened my testimony of Jospeh Smith, the Book of Mormon, and the sacrifice of the early saints.
Nauvoo Temple
My sweet parents.
Dad and I ran a 5K together. I was so grateful to have my dad along. It made it so enjoyable, and it was crazy how much I was able to run with not much training, being pregnant, and not feeling well. Thanks Dad. We jogged the entire first mile after which I had to take a potty break. We jogged/walked the rest of it. It took 42 minutes and 17 seconds. I was happy with how I did.
Matt ran a 1/2 marathon as well as Chelsea's parents. He did great!!
Nathan holding PJ and being as sweet and gentle with him as ever.
Jared saying bye to PJ. PJ looks so big next to Jared.
Nathan saying bye to PJ.
It was such a nice trip, and we appreciate John and Chelsea's hospitality as well as her parents. Everyone spoiled me and I didn't have to cook or help cook a single meal...now that is vacation. I thought that I would gain a lot of weight, but as soon as we got 5 minutes from my house in Dallas, I threw up. It was so nice to see family, and yet so hard to say goodbye.
