Trip to Illinois via Arkansas :)


No, Timothy didn't drive... this was after we got back while cleaning up after Pack meeting and I had the two youngest in the car waiting.


The Nauvoo Temple

Family at Carthage Jail in Illinois


Nathanael and Samuel spiking their hair.



Timothy and Guitar Hero.

Reading with Aunt Amanda (I guess we saw her the most, we don't have many pictures of everyone else!)



Stormy drive through Illinois



Stormy Illinois, happy Christopher!


It was a fun trip. I wish we had more good pictures of everyone we visited, but this was just a taste. We got to see the Sperrys, the Engers, Tom's parents and his two sisters, Alex and Gretchen, Abram and Jennifer, Aaron and Megan and their kids Jacob and Holly... Adam and Meredith and their little Gregory are in China and Anton and Ashley and Jackson are in Oregon so we didn't see them, but it was good to see Tom's brothers we hadn't seen since the move to Texas. We got to visit some church history sites with the kids and see the Nauvoo temple for the first time. The last time Tom and I were at Nauvoo was while we were dating... "just friends" according to what his brothers and sister said we said... though I did get a horseshoe "ring" on that trip. The Nauvoo temple has been rebuilt since then :) 14 years ago, can you believe it?

  1. "according to what [we] said"? Are you implying that you two did not claim to be "just friends"? Because, you know, you totally did.

  2. Honestly? I don't remember, I thought we said we were just dating... but now that I think about it yeah it was probably just friends. We just wanted to bring you into our blog post. Or something like that hehehe.
