Nauvoo and a little crafting

The end of March until now has been pretty busy, and I don't see it slowing down anytime soon!

March 19th-20th we went to Nauvoo. We got to go with a wonderful family in our branch. Our family got there Friday afternoon. We spent the day walking around and looking at the sites and the stores. We had a lot of nice family time. Here's us out and about. Kaitlyn is LOVING riding her bike right now!




Late that night the Johnston's arrived, but we were already in bed. The next morning we got up and Elizabeth watched our kids so Ryan and I could go to the Temple. It was WONDERFUL! And so needed! When we got back we watched the Johnston's kids and they got to go. It was nice because another friend from our branch let us borrow her grandparents house, and it was right next to the Temple! Friday night and Saturday morning it snowed, so I was glad we got there early on Friday and did the sight seeing then! Then we were back on our way home. It was a short trip, but so nice! On the way home we got Ice-cream cones!




The next week was 2 of Emily's friends birthday's. They were both born on the same day. I made shirts for them. This is the before:



And here's the after of one, the other was the same but with an A:



I made similar shirts for my girls and Logan for Easter. More on our Easter celebrations next time!

Also that following weekend we had a sheet rocking party!!! I don't know how fun it was for the men, but it sure was nice for me to come home to WALLS!!!! No more studs and rafters in my living room! Hallelujah! Thank you SO MUCH to all those who came and helped. I can't tell you how much it means to me. Thank you.

We are still a LONG way to being finished, but this was a HUGE step forward!
