A few months ago we had family from Utah come to visit us in St. Louis.  We had a grand time showing them around our fine city…  However, the most favorite part of the visit was spending the day up in Nauvoo, Illinois.  Sure it was quite the drive and down more than a few country roads to get to, but it’s definitely worth the trip!  There’s so much history in Nauvoo and it’s fun for all ages:

Plus, there are authentic Nauvoo log cabins that you can stay in.

We actually stayed in the cutest little cabin east of the Mississippi!

The Danielson cabin has everything you need for your nights stay:  A refrigerator, microwave, bathroom with shower, desk, and 2 bunk beds.

Each cabin comes with it’s own unique story and you can read about the families that used to reside in them.  The Danielson cabin actually used to be in Wyoming, but was moved to Nauvoo and reconstructed by the owner’s of Nauvoo Log Cabins.  So the community of cabins itself has a rich history just like the city of Nauvoo!

Our visiting family stayed in the Beebe cabin, because it had more room for their size of 7 people:

The Beebe comes with a fully equipped kitchen, 1 1/2 baths, and sleeps 9.

It even has a really cool loft!

It’s A Wonderful Weekend

October 7, 2012 by Leave a Comment

This weekend was wonderful and by far one of my favorite weekends of the year.  For starters it encompassed General Conference.  We spent time together as a family watching/listening to the conference talks and feeling the love of the spirit.  It always puts things in my life into proper perspective and reminds me of who I am.  No matter how my life might seem out of order or really overwhelming at times… I’m comforted that I’m not alone and that my Father in Heaven is aware of me.  Conference weekend gives us as a family a chance to slow down and remember what is truly important.  I’m so very grateful for my faith and family.  Because of both I am truly blessed.  During Conference breaks we had fun!  This is what I most want to instill in my children’s minds as they grow up.  I want them to remember hearing the talks year after year, but also spending time together as a family on these wonderful weekends.  What did we do during the breaks this year???

It was Banjo’s turn to take home the class pet (stuffed animal puppy) from school.  Each week a different child take Brownie home and is then responsible for taking him on an outing.  Taking pictures with him.  Writing in the book of Brownie’s travels.  You get the idea.  Last year we took the class pet Nemo (stuffed animal bear) to the Butterfly House.  This year we took Brownie to the Mastodon State Historic Site.

 

Then…

Ruby is fully mobile now.  In a matter of days she went from rolling everywhere, to crawling, to this:

    

Oh bless us all…  😉

 

Also…

My cousin’s wedding was this weekend.  Stay tuned for details on that wonderful event.  And the red dress…  *wink*
