We love Family!

Matt's brother and his family came to visit for a few days earlier this month. We met them in Nauvoo for a busy, fun day. The first stop...

There were five Webb brothers who ran the blacksmith shop and there are five Webb brother's in Matt's family. We could only get two here for the picture, but maybe someday...


The girls loved having cousins around to play with. The real advantage is that they are older cousins and carried my girls around all day. They think this is the way it should always be.
Taking a wagon ride around NauvooLinds really liked the horses.You can tell how much Ruthie likes animals. She finally touched the horse with one finger.Playing Pioneer games.Lindsay was so tired after only one small nap on the carriage ride. She decided the wood chips would make the perfect playing/resting place..Mariah at the Nauvoo Temple.Over-looking NauvooOn the way home we stopped by Carthage Jail. Matt opted to feed Ruth and Lindsay and Mariah and I joined the others on a tour. It is my favorite place that we visited.The room where Joseph Smith was shot.We came back to Columbia and gave the Webb's a quick tour of MU.
Here are all the cousins at the Columns. They each had one of their own.
Jori, Riley, JaLane, Mariah, Ruth and LindsayThis picture is so you can actually see them all.Here is our first family photo at the columns. I hope I don't get fined for putting this picture on my blog. However, I thought it was finally an appropriate use of "modern art." I can't say I understand the piece, but the kids had a great time playing on it!
Couldn't pass up the chance to show you Lindsay "beeping" Thomas Jefferson's nose!
