Church History Tour

Off to see the Joseph Smith, Sr. farm in Palmyra, NY.
Joseph Smith's boyhood home, 3 bedrooms for 9 people!
The farm.
The Frame House: a larger house built by Alvin for his parents, but he passed away before finishing and asked Hyrum to finish and take care of his parents. The Smith's only lived in it for 4 years until a sly man came into town and kicked them out.
The Sacred Grove.

The Hill Cumorah
Friday night we got to see the Hill Cumorah Pageant, and it was wonderful. This is the view of the stage from the top of the hill.
Waiting for the Pageant to begin.
Chase got to meet Nephi before the pageant began, and he was so excited! (It's the one Book of Mormon character that I've really taught him about so he feels like he knows him) It was so cute because he really thought he was REAL.
Jesus appearing to the people in the Americas after his death.
Blessing the little children.
Visiting the Peter Whitmer Farm. It was raining so we only got a picture inside the visitor's center.

I have to say that I'm a bit envious. We've gone to see the Alamo here in Texas, but not much else. I love the pictures.

I've seen the pageant 3 times and can't wait to take Jamie and Wyatt back to see it with the rest of the sites. If you are like me words can't explain the spirit in those sites.

To sum it up

To sum up the last 9 months... We went to Disney World and Universal in March with Rick’s family. It was a BLAST! Favorite part was Harry Potter world. Favorite ride was Rockin’ Roller coaster, or Hogwarts castle, or the Avatar ride.  Rick and I coached track March-May. It was fun but stressful. I like doing something for the community. I don’t like running a program w my husband and not enough adult help.   Kids finished school in May and we went on a camping trip Memorial weekend to St Joe State Park with our favorite people, Richardsons. Some other ward families came too. Marcellino’s and Smith’s.  Summer hit, Soleil got baptized, and Rick got a job offer to work for Cricut in Utah. Finally a job closer to family! We spent three very stressful weeks prepping our house for sale and then took off to Utah driving both our cars on July 13th.  The following week we vacationed in Lake Powell with my family. After coming home from that we settled into Heather’s basement ...

2019 is my year to Be Prepared

Last year I decided to make a goal that involved one phrase, no guilt. That phrase stuck in my mind all year long, and guided me through a lot of situations. I found by the end of the year, that I really had changed because of those two words. In all the years past that I have set goals, I have set very specific reachable things. I always find that a few months into the year my motivation drops off and I don’t follow through with the goal. By the end of the year I either feel disappointed in myself, or I can’t even remember what my goal was to begin with. Last year was different in a very good way. So I’ve decided to do the same thing this year. After pondering and praying about what my goal should be this year, I came up with the phrase be prepared. There are so many ways to be prepared in life, spiritually, physically, temporarily, etc. I find that a lot of my stress on a daily basis could be remedied if I had only spent a little time before hand to prepare for that moment for that s...

Golf date

We went on a group date Friday night with our best friends here in St Louis, Wilson’s and Richardson’s. We went to a new place in Chesterfield called Top Golf. We ate yummy food and visited while we hit golf balls off a platform. It was the first time I had ever hit golf balls in a real way, aside from miniature golf. It was harder than it looks. Everyone had fun and I came home sore.
