Nauvoo

This past weekend Ryan went with the youth in our branch to Nauvoo.  What was great was one of the families had all teenage children except one, so she stayed with me!  It was SO nice to have the extra help, especially since Ryan was gone over night. And Tara LOVES my kids and was so excited to come and stay here.

So right when the youth got here, I was leaving to take the kids to a neighbors birthday party at the park.  I was so happy to have Tara there to help keep track of the kiddos.  Especially when Emmy puked!  I think she just got to hot.  But of coarse we had to leave right away.  Luckily the kids were really good about it.  I felt so bad though!

Here's the cutest picture of Tara holding Evan.  He just loves her.  She sits with me often during church to help out with the kids.

And Ryan found some possible family names on a monument while he was there in Nauvoo. (Fox and Dalton)

It was fun to have Tara here for a sleepover, but I was so glad to have my husband back when he came home!  Tara seemed to have a great time, and she was a huge help.  The kids are hoping she can sleep over more often.  Haha

Got Brayden doing his Dolphin call.  Funny boy.  He seriously does this all the time.
