Our Trip Back East

 

David and I were able to go back east this last October and travel around all over.  It was kind of a quick trip we were actually there for Davids work, but we were able to drive through at least 8 states and stop in some neat places.  Some of my favorites were Palmyra New York and the Sacred Grove and Sharon Vermont the birth place of Joseph Smith.  Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah .  I am so grateful for the Prophet Joseph smith and for the gospel that he restored to the earth.  By the way if anyone would like to visit Vermont and Upstate NY go in the fall.   I fell in love with Vermont and if we could find a job I think that David and I would live there.  It was absolutely beautiful. The trees, the colors, the covered bridges, the winding roads, the fact that there were no billboards on the roadway, oh....I'm ready to go back!!!!

Some Pictures from our trip


Family Fun on Temple Square


We went to see the lights on temple square with our neighbors the Hess family.  We had a lot of fun and it was so pretty.  We love the feeling on temple square and the spirit that is there.  When ever we drive by the temple Justus likes to look for it and point out Moroni.

Little Birdies


Back when I was a kid my family played a game called little birdies.  The object of this game is to catch marshmallows in your mouth without touching them.  My dad would have us sit at the end of the hallway and he would toss the little mini marshmallows to us.  I think that this is where my obsession with marshmallows has come.  I love them.  They are my all time favorite snack, especially when they are stale.  Yummmy  I really like the coconut covered ones too.. oh and "peeps" the Easter candy... oh I am craving them right now.   Justus wants to say something to the world..."B A H I L and C.   wettttttttttttiiop]]] 866654333669.  He is brilliant isn't he. Well a few weeks ago my Dad or Grandpa  came over to watch the movie "Ratatootie" that's what Justus calls it and he brought marshmallows and so we see that the tradition of Little Birdies continues.

Spring Fever


Some pictures from a Family Home Evening adventure last fall up in the beautiful Utah mountains.   Ziek loved the rocks, throwing them, looking at them, eating them.  You know it doesn't get much better than that.
