Thankfull!!

I had another checkup today and things are looking very good!! Which means I don't have to go on bed rest!! So I am so thankfull for all the prayers and thoughts that everyone has been giving to us! It has helped. I still have to take it easy, but I am not stuck to my bed!! So now we just have to hope that she doesn't come before August, if I could even go to the middle of August that would be even better, as long as I don't have to leave her in the hospital at all! Here is an ultrasound that I got today that is of her face which I think is so cute!! If you tip your head to the left, her left eye is the little slit looking thing right in the top middle of the picture, and you can see her left cheak and her nose and lips, her right eye is in the shadow right below the left eye, so it is completely sideways. I hope you can see it cause I just think it is adorable!!

Nauvoo

We just took a trip where we were helping my brother Brandon and his family move to Kansas City and my family decided to make a church history tour out of it. Here is the Nauvoo Temple which is so amazing. There are so many stories and places that are so spiritual that it really puts a new perspective on everything. It makes it so real to actually see where the saints were and to hear what they went through.
This is the Carthage Jail which we stopped at on the way to Nauvoo.

It is very hard not to cry here, the spirit is so strong, and to hear the story

while looking at the bullet holes in the door and walls is very humbling. Joseph Smiths Home and grave in Nauvoo.

Us in Adam-ondi-Ahman on our way home from Nauvoo.

Liberty Jail

What an amazing experience to actually see where everything happened. I have been to Palmyra New York and to walk through the sacred grove and seen where it all began, what an experience to now come full circle and see where it all ended for Joseph Smith. I can't begin to imagine what they went through because of their faith in the Lord, how hard yet wonderful it must have been! If you ever have the chance to come here, I would definitely recommend doing it!! It is definitely a big testimony growing experience!

Graduate!!

Ariana's school had a big graduation ceremony for the kindergartners. It was so cute. They sang songs and did the sign language to "Proud to be an American". Ariana did it so well, I was amazed! They also sang a song to the tune of "New York, New York", but changed the words to "First Grade, First Grade" It was really cute! I think I started crying when they first walked in and didn't stop until we had left!! I am just so amazed at how quickly time flies and they grow up so fast!!
