Finally celebrating Tom's birthday... we had relighting candles on his Black Forest cake. (that's why there is extra smoke...)
For his thirty-tenth birthday, we had to make it special.

Yes, it is my brother Jeremy's, my husband's, and my brother in law Adam's birthday... but I was at Time Out For Women. Here I am with Hilary Weeks. I love her music. Visit http://hilaryweeks.com for more info!
After Time Out For Women, Tom and the boys left for a Stake Dance (literally before I walked in the door...) So it was NOT the day we celebrated Tom's birthday.

At the temple, for the first time in a small car, rather than in our behemoth, so we parked closer... anyway, we are at the temple again :) Happy to be here!

New-to-us car. It's an '07 Ford Focus, which makes our 5th Ford... (our first Escort, our Windstar, our Econoline, our second Escort, and now the Focus...) We've needed a second car for a while now... ever since the second Escort (our $900 wonder...) died.

One of the cool things about our trip to Nauvoo. In the blacksmith shop, they actually heat up iron and make something right in front of you... a tiny horseshoe. Then they give it to someone in the group. This time, they asked whose birthday was closest to Joseph Smith's birthday. (December 23rd). Tom spoke up and said, "well, my wife's is December 21st... " So we came home with a tiny, still warm, horseshoe.

Goodbye, Illinois! We stopped by the Nestle Pumpkin plant on our way out of town (where my mom-in-law works). This lot is FULL of trucks with pumpkins in the fall and late summer!

Our family in front of the window in the upper bedroom in Carthage Jail, where Joseph Smith the prophet was killed.
Every time I come here my testimony is a little stronger, of the difference in our lives because of this man.
Our family is 2 daughters larger since the last time we took this picture :)
