Nauvoo Pagaent and the Coleman's

 
Nick and Marsha Coleman looked us up, they had a break from the Nauvoo Pagaent. What a treat it was to see them.
 
Near the end of the pagaent they were part of the Celestial Family.
 
In this scene they build the Temple and Nick and Marsha are entering in.
 
Silly ones after the pagaent is over. Costumes look a little different

"Lo and behold a rumor did fly, that a golden bible been dug from the earth. And I had a neighbor who testified, of this bible's worth" I also know of this golden book's worth!!!

 

This is the Relief Society scene.

 
I shoooed this little bunny right out of our corn field. In fact I shoooooooed him several times. Then one day I was out there and the corn looked so wonderful, I thought I'll give it one more day, but to my HORROR a little racoon got it first!!! He left only a few runts for us.

We went to see "Baloons over the Mississippi". It was a wonderful sight.

UPDATE FROM NAUVOO.....


On 7-7-08 Dan Rush and his family visited Nauvoo. They stayed in an absolutely gorgeous home right across from the Temple called the Hart House. It was fun to see them!

7-10-08 This is my friend from high school Donise Sarger Price and her husband Lloyd. They are on a mission in Adam ondi Ahmand. The couples of their mission had a Temple excursion. It was so fun to see them!

The next few shots Donise took of us in our Rendevous performance of Noah and Sophia Packard.
We are testifying that we read the scriptures and believed we could be lead astray.

Chapter 7 OUR FIRST VISITORS CONTINUED!

Kekoa and I were exploring. He had such a manly smile as he looked through the fence at the Browning Home.



As we walked down the sidewalk he just stopped and started dancing. He must had songs running through his mind.



Fun father and son games. ( The things we do to keep kids quiet at the restaurant.)



Kekoa loved playing with the bubbles in the front yard of our little place and the back door of the Print Shop.



Here were are right in the front part of the John Taylor Home. It is so fun to share this special place with Yuya, Jill and Kekoa.



Kekoa seemed to love the peas as much as AmyJo and Mark used to!



Look at those long eyelashes!




I just could not keep him from the catepillar. He was so intrigued by that fuzzy little white thing that kept moving away from him, for some reason.







Kekoa was playing peek-a-boo with me on Main Street across from the Jonathan Browning Home. What a cutie!


Jill and Yuya look so cute as I look into the window of the Brigham Young home to see if Dad is ever going to take that picture. Finally I see the flash.




We gather and I see another flash. Cool picture of the backyard of the second prophet, Brigham Young's home, through their bedroom window.



I shed tears as they left the Brigham Young Home. This was our last view as they made their way to our little home, got in their black Nissan (not a Toyota) and headed for Kentucky. We had such a good time getting hugs and kisses from Kekoa. Please come back soon!!!!!

Chapter 7 Visitors Continued!

 We had a very special visitor last Thursday and Friday. Do you recognize Pres. Uchdorf? He, his wife, their daughter and twin grandsons visited Nauvoo last week. Of the 3 casts they watched our "Y" cast for both Sunset by the Mississippi on Thurs. and our Redezvous cast on Friday night. What a privilege!!
 The wagon tour brought them by Pioneer Pastimes and I quickly took a picture. The two grandsons are leaving on a mission to Tawain soon. They will be in 2 different missions in Tawain, how nice to be able to learn the same language!
 

Do you reconize Tracie, Donnie Crandell's wife and their son Porter. An older son attended EFY here and she had been in St. Louis to spend time with her dad. She had come to pick her older son up and recognized us! Then of course we knew who she was!


 

Last Wed. we recognized some fellow Arizonans. We had a fun visit with Mesa High friend and Queen Creek friend, Laura Wheeler ? (can't remember her married name) and family. They sure have a cute family!!! Yeah, matching shirts, my kind'a mom!!!!!

CHAPTER 7 VISITORS, yeah!!!!!!

 Our first visitors! Jill and Yuya and Kekoa arrived on Thursday July 3rd. It was a real treat to have them share the little John Taylor missionary home. Kekoa is such a doll!!!!
 
They watched us perform in "Sunset By the Mississippi" on Thursday evening. It was so fun to look out in the audience and see them. It is such a fun program!

  Kekoa melted my heart and energized me with hugs for another little while.


 Kekoa saw me walk around in front of them with a camera and before you know it he was saying "cheese". What a ham!!!!

Chapter 6 More views of this beautful place!!!

 
One more view of our beautiful Nauvoo Temple. It is fun discovering all the different views of the Temple.

 
As I was sitting in the sewing room I looked up from my project, another show dress, and saw 2 darling little fawn playing in the forest behind the sewing room. I grabbed my camera and shot as quickly as I could through the window. It is sooooo fun to see new life.

 
This pic shows both of them. Twin fawn, what a special treat from our loving Father above!!
