FINALLY

Well after5 long months of waiting and high anticipation we finally got an egg from one of our chickens. Billy got the new coop out back and we moved the dog run they were in to the back of the yard. Things are looking pretty good for the ol' hen house!

Sunday tradition in cold weather

Well it is here. The cold weather which brings
out the best in all of us. Billy had this idea to make a
"puzzle board". He did this so that when we do
puzzles the pieces stay together. Well with the cold
weather here this is what we do on Sunday's.
AHHHH nothing like a good ole puzzle to bring the
family together!!

Surprise trip...

Two weeks ago Billy had to go to upstate New York on a business trip. I was wishing I could go, but didn't say anything to him. He called me on Wednesday and told me that I was flying out to meet him on Friday. After almost missing both of my flights, I finally arrived. Saturday we headed up to Palmyra to visit church historic sites. The first place we went to was Hill Cumorah. It's quite the little hill! It was pretty amazing to be standing where the Golden Plates were.














We then went to Joseph Smith's log home. We stood in the room where the Angel Moroni visited Joseph Smith.
















The next place we went to was the Sacred Grove. It was pretty overwhelming to think this is where our Heavenly Father and Jesus visited Joseph Smith.














This is a picture of the Palmyra Temple, across the street from the log home.














This is the Peter Whitmer home where the church was organized.














On Sunday before we flew home we went to Niagara Falls. It was the first time Billy had seen them. When we went to Canada to see them from the Canadian side, they almost didn't let us back in. Turns out the scanner read our license plate wrong and they thought we had a stolen car. Billy was pretty glad to get back into the USA.
