Jed's 6th Birthday


Jed turned 6 on the 12th of this month. The day after we went to Nauvoo, he surprised me and told me he was having a gun party that day with the family that was still here. Since it was the last day, I sprung into action and figured out a fun party for the birthday boy. We had dart guns, so we got more bullets and had "games" of target practice and shooting cans off the deck. I then gave all the kids water guns and let them have at it. And since I didn't have time to make a cake, we got doughnuts and SueAnn put army men all over. Jed loved it and it turned out pretty fun for a last minute thing.

I cant believe that he is already six. They are growing so fast.

Nauvoo

We were able to go to Nauvoo with my sister's family and two nieces on Monday. These pictures are in no order, but I have been slacking in the blogging, so I just wanted to get some up.
