Rick and Ella-Rene on their way back from China had a nice visit with us. We hung out at clear lake and ate lots of food all weekend.they brought us China clothes.
Our Halloween costumes are already ready! yea!!

We went down to the Nauvoo Pageant. It was really fun besides the fact that Hyrum screamed the entire way down and back, all four hours each way. We got one of the little DVD players, but did not bring movies that he liked apparently.  This is the mormon temple that is down there, it is in IlliniosI know this is a little strange, but this is the grave of Hyrum's 5 or 6th Great Grandfather whom he was named after. He was martyred with his brother by a mob. He was a very good brother and man. I have read several meanings of the name "Hiram" ( as it is spelled in the bible, but my favorite is "Beloved Brother". It was so peaceful and quiet that day. We couldn't go to this place too often. It is very special.
