I love Fall!

A visit from Andi in September. Lee tried to fill Andi and Casey and Chloe up with tacos.

It's so nice having Andi and Nicci living in Colorado and so close to home!

Homecoming 2010 - The Secretaries

Lee and I took an incredible trip back east for my birthday. We visited the church history sites in Palmyra New York and Kirtland Ohio

The Hill Cumorah where the golden plates were buried

We were lucky enough to be able to do a temple session at the Palmyra Temple

So beautiful!

Temple grounds over looking the Sacred Grove

It was rainy and cold but such a great experience!

The Sacred Grove

The bookstore where the first Book of Mormon was printed

Niagra Falls - so awesome!

Kirtland Ohio

The Whitney Store - This was the actual store. The School of the Prophets was held upstairs in this store. We had such an incredible experience on this tour.

The School of the Prophets was held in this room

What a great way to end our visit back east!

Lee was going to be ordained as a High Priest on this day so the girls came home to support him. It was really a great day for us all.

Bishop Smith, President Strong, and Brother Beecher. We were small in number but mighty in spirit. These are some really great men.

This has been quite a summer....we have laughed as we have gotten together so much with our family and we have cried as we said farewell to our Auntie Claire who passed away one year to the day when Uncle Paul left us. We have spent alot of time with our kids which has been a real blessing for us this summer......
