Conversation with Ella

I was talking to my sister Kristy on the phone in my car. We had just gotten home from me picking Ella up from school and Ella really wanted to listen and I told her that I would be just a few minutes longer and that I really needed to talk to her. This is what our conversation sounded like

me: Ella I will be a few minutes

Ella: I really want to listen though

me: I really need to talk to Aunt Kristy alone. We are talking about grown up stuff.

Ella: well do you know how sometimes I don't listen to you? I can just do that ok?

Me: laughing at this point!

I was thinking well at least she is honest and tells me that she isn't really listening to me. I guess what I say goes in one ear and out the other. I hope that I will know how to get her to listen before she is older or I am in real trouble :) lol

Grandma and Grandpa Visit

After eating (not so sure anymore)
Before eating (oh how yummy)














Steve's parents came to visit us here in Kirksville over Steve's spring break and we had a wonderful time. We hated to see them go but the memories we made will be forever! We took them to Steve's school and showed them the dungeon that he studies in sometimes. We took them around the town square. We ate at a few restaurants and saw little bunnies at the farm and home store. We also made our way to Nauvoo and as always the spirit is amazing there. We found out that Mom Jensen had some relatives that lived in Nauvoo and actually owned some property there. I took a few pictures of the land that she owned. I also took some pictures of the garden statues that they have there and included some in here too!

I love my in-laws! Words can't describe how I feel but I will say that I am really lucky to be part of their family! I love the spirit that they have. We miss you and love you and hope we get to see you this summer! Thanks for such an amazing fun time together and for always being there for us and giving us the moral support. We couldn't do this without the support of family so we are grateful!!
