Nauvoo Youth Conference 2019

 Josh, Lincoln, Palmer and I had the awesome opportunity to go to Nauvoo with our stake for youth conference.  Josh and I got to be company leaders and we ADORED our cute "family."  I can't believe how close we felt to these kids after only being with them a few days.  It was seriously awesome.

 Aren't those kids the cutest!?

 They "Community of Christ" still owns a lot of buildings and in the Red Brick store they sell really yummy root beer.

 Our boys had really great families too.  They came home with great stories.

 The youth got to do baptisms for the dead in the Nauvoo temple.  Such a special experience!

 Most of the kids said that Carthage jail was the most spiritual experience that they had.  I am so glad that my boys got to be here.

 Evan from our ward was on a mini mission for the summer as a performing missionary.  He was so good and it was so fun to see him!

 Palmer's group didn't take a lot of pictures, but from the stories that I heard, they had a great time.

 It was a wonderful experience in Nauvoo!!

Hunter Loves Fishing

Hunter is a fishing lover.  We have tried to go a few times with his and when we got to Lake Lanier, all we catch are tiny fish.  He went with his buddy Aden in his family boat on Lake Lanier and he caught this beauty.  I am pretty sure it was a highlight for Hunter in his life :)

Saying Goodbye

 This was our last night in Utah.  It was so hard to say goodbye to these people.  We sure love them.

 Palmer is super close to Savannah.  I wish they lived closer to each other.

 Such good friends!

 We love these crazies!

 We had to get a picture with the Palmers.  We love them like crazy!

 Saying goodbye to Grandma.  We love her so much!

We ran into one of my seminary kids at the airport and she was on flight.  So fun to see her!

Miller Cousins

We got to hang out with the Miller cousins the day before we headed back to Georgia.  I love this picture of all of the kids gathered around a phone, watching something funny Brandon had found.

My boys were always carrying on of the little cousins.  I loved watching them with them.

It definitely made the hike easier for Aunt Debby to have the older boys help the little boys.

We sure miss these mountains.

Palmer and Chadra have a cute friendship.

The water was pretty high and fast this year.

There was a sign that said if you hiked above it, you could die.  So of course the older kids did.

Uncle Matt followed them up the waterfall and sent Hunter back down (which Hunter was ticked about).

They got to the top of the falls.

This is the top where the water runs into the "donut."  Luckily Matt told them they couldn't climb onto of the waterfall.

Coming back down Palmer and Lincoln both had a scary slip.  I am so grateful they came down safely.

Everyone made it back down!

Carrying the littles down.

We had such a fun hiking day with the Millers and Omers!
