We were fortunate enough to have Cortney, Addie and Elle make the journy out to Kirksville to stay with us for a few days (I say journey because it aint easy getting out here, but well worth it :).  We were so excited and Jackson loved having his little friend Addie here to play.  We stayed pretty busy and how could we not with two 3 year olds and two 6 month babies.

We spent one night in Nauvoo.  There is a lot to do in the little town of Nauvoo.  We braved the cold horse carriage ride.  Olivia was a little sad on the ride, probably a little cold for her but it put Jackson right to sleep.

Even though it was cold it was beautiful—all the leaves are changing colors.

And of course we visited the beautiful Nauvoo temple.

We didn’t have the best weather while they were here but we were able to get one sunny day to have lunch at the lake.

We decorated Halloween cupcakes and went to a Halloween party (don’t worry more Halloween pics to come).

The kids even had some down time—of course they didn’t stay down for long.  Thanks again Smith family for coming to see us.  Tyler had a pretty busy week so it was extremely nice to have the company.  See you at Christmas!
