My babies are growing up too fast!











Sydney has really enjoyed playing soccer.  She is doing great too.  She has scored 3 goals this season.  We are so proud of her.  She is running and dribbling the ball much faster now.  

Drew is getting so big.  He is almost 4 months old.  So sad they have to grow up.  He is the happiest baby.  He truly is a blessing.  He falls asleep so quickly and just smiles a lot.  He is such a joy in our family.  

I wish I had more pictures of the kids.  Its hard to remember to get out your camera.

Drew's Blessing Day!













Sunday morning was very peaceful.  It wasn't hectic at all.  I was so grateful.  We were very early for church and just had an enjoyable morning.  Andy gave a beautiful blessing and Dallin was quiet so I could even listen to every word.  It was a tender mercy all morning.  I felt very blessed by my Heavenly Father to enjoy this special day for Drew.  I am so grateful that our families came too.  We had a wonderful meal together and enjoyed visiting with everyone.

Grover reunion in Nauvoo









These pics were taken by Andy's mom. She is so talented.  Linsey designed our Grover shirts.  They turned out so cute . 

We stayed in the log cabins and had a great time being together.  The little girls slept in a covered wagon.  

I've been to nauvoo several times and finally got to attend the pageant.  It was really good.  I felt the spirit strongly.  

My favorite thing we did was the pioneer pastimes where the kids played with old pioneer toys. They played for hours.  

Andy and I didn't get to see much this trip with small children but we enjoyed being with family.  

Andy and I didn't get to attend the temple this trip but it is gorgeous.  So unique!  

Bob and Sue told family history stories to the grandchildren.  Sue made pioneer dolls and toys with the grandkids.  I loved hearing the stories about Andy's ancestors.  They were so powerful.  So grateful for the gospel and parents that taught us righteously.  
 This is what I did most of the trip.
 Sydney loved dressing up in the pioneer clothes.
