The girls and I have had the great opportunity to spend the past week and a half up in Minnesota visiting Granny, Grampy and Trey. Val drove us halfway to Nauvoo (great half way point!) and we did a little sightseeing before Val headed back to Memphis to work and we continued on to MN. It was so nice to be able to show the girls where mommy and daddy got married. It's funny what a difference in temperature there has been. We were prepared for some somewhat spring temperatures, but have had to buy Aleece a new winter coat since we've been here! It even snowed 6 inches one day! We have had a great time visiting and are so glad we have been able to be here! Here are some of our picture highlights.....
the windows in the Nauvoo temple--we love this temple!!!
Leecy T by the Joseph and Hyrum Smith statue
the girls with their Granny and Grampy in front of the Nauvoo temple-having a great time, despite the chilly temperatures
Mommy, Daddy, Leecy T and Lainey bug--where our eternal family started almost six years ago!
Lainey bug and Grampy--she loves hats!!!
Leecy, Lainey and Uncle Trey at one of Trey's prom photo ops!

Aunt Patt and the girls having a good time.
Lainey playing peek a boo with her hat.
Trey at his prom, after the grand march, with the girls, Steph, Patty and Eric. In case you couldn't tell, Aleece was done for the evening!
We have experienced a bit of sickness while we have been here, which has provided for some orneryness, but the girls are beginning to feel better and they love every moment they get to share with their Granny and Grampy and aunts and uncles!
We have been having so much fun and we wish Daddy was here with us, but we know he is working hard at home, and we can't wait to see him. We will get to meet again in Nauvoo this coming weekend and still have an exciting week left here in MN! It's always a good time with family and we wish we lived closer so this could happen more often! It's so nice to see the special connection the girls have with their grandparents. They love them SOOO much! We love our family so much!

Having you here really makes my heart smile! <3
Your pictures are so cute!! I love the one with the 4 of you in front of the temple doing piggy backs, really cute!!
Speaking of cute, your tummy is so cute! Maybe it is just me but it seems like your pregnancy has gone by so fast, he is almost here!
You are probably laughing at the word 'fast.' :)
Have fun with the family and be safe coming home.
It always seems too short when you get to spend time with family.
Looks like fun! You guys have such an adorable family (you look great pregnant by the way!)
how great to be able to spend time with your parents and siblings! i can't believe how big trey is - i think the last time i saw him he was like 4!!!!!!!!!!!
anyway - cute pictures!
It was so so so much fun having you cuties here. Those girlies sure have a lot of energy! And I agree - you do look great pregnant. :) Love you sis!
