Wedding

Last weekend, Clint and I went to San Diego for my youngest brother's wedding. Marcus and Ashley are the cutest couple! It was a great day! The temple was beautiful, even under construction, and so was the reception! We had so much fun with everyone and no children, except for cute Beck and William that we could borrow. The only bad part was that I was freezing most of the time. Clint thought it was great.

We also visited the Mormon Battalion Visitor Center. I was so impressed! You must go!

Nauvoo 2010

We went to Nauvoo and had a great time! I even remembered to bring some names and Clint and I did sealings. It was cool to see "Nauvoo 2" stamped on the card. The temple was beautiful and quite colorful - considering it is a temple. Most of the lights were black and it was quite the contrast. They also had red and blue colored vases in the windows. The baptistry is the largest in the world, but also how big it originally was. A worker said that was because they were doing 2 at a time, but that seems kind of confusing to me.

Here we are going on an ox ride. We also took a hour long wagon tour, but didn't have time for the carriage tour. There was too much to do for only 2 days!
The most popular thing was the pioneer dancing at the fair before the pageant. We went to the pageant twice just because of this. This is the second night when it rained alot!
Here we are soaking wet with "Joseph Smith". The kids were so excited to meet him and "Brigham Young". The pageant was better the second night when we had really good seats, even though it rained.
Lucy and Juliette doing stick pulling.
Being hand cart pioneers. The carts were light, but when they got stuck in the mud, it was really bad. How did they do it?

Carol and Major sawing a log. It was pretty tricky and hard.

Juliette playing with all the pioneer house stuff.
Major playing fox and geese. It was kind of a pioneer Rubik's cube. He figured it out pretty fast.
Everyone should go to Nauvoo! It was an amazing experience!

June 2010

June was a busy month. I took the little kids to see The Princess and the Pea at the Hale Theater. It was a cute show! It was even entertaining for the adults! I didn't fall asleep!Carol got all done up for the stake dance which was a 70's theme. I made the shirt out of bandanas and added them to her old jeans as well. She had a fun time!
Juliette did awesome in musical theater this summer! She sang her solo really loud and was really dramatic on all the songs. This is her buddy Zack.
Carol and Lucy also did musical theater. I'm bummed I didn't take a picture of the girls. We had to borrow this one. They did awesome! We were so impressed with their beautiful and loud solos and they were super dramatic! Carol was in a lot of hilarious songs!
