Kansas City Temple Open House

Grampa Dan, Grandma Dorothy, and all of us walked through the breathtakingly elegant Temple, freshly built. That was wonderful.

A New Goal

Here we are at the Farm Supply in Alton, IL. And, here is the cutest tire swing I've ever seen. I HAVE to make one of these, but my own animal design, or Royal's.

A Ferry Ride for Fairies

 This is the Golden Eagle Ferry! So fun! We ride across in about 10 minutes, to the most beautiful country I've ever seen. This ride was filmed in July 2012. Look at those adorable braids!! And Grace is a pirate.

My First 5k

My adopted sister Jessica Gallyoun and I did the program "Couch to 5k", and here we are graduating! I am so grateful we did that. This was one of my proudest moments this year. Our sweet hubbys were there to support with kids in tow.
