This is the deal ... its late at night ... everyone is sleeping, and I should be too. The alarm will go off early in the morning ... and a long, busy day will greet me. Yet, instead of going to bed I somehow end up in my craft room. And instead of sleeping, I end up crafting ....

Apparently a trip to the Quad Cities is not complete without visiting the John Deere museum. Now granted, I am an Idaho girl, but am not a farm girl. I cannot believe the size of some of this farm equipment. Ginormous. Mylie obliged for a few photos.

After a morning visit to the hospital and some lunch, we drove a few hours to Nauvoo. This statue of Joseph and Hyrum was in front of the Temple. I thought it would be a neat perspective to photograph it from behind with the Temple in the background, as if they were riding up to the Temple.

Happy Birthday Jeff!! And Happy Birth Day to Lila Kristine!
We arrived in Iowa, got settled in and just waited for that baby to be born. I couldn't stand it anymore and went to the hospital and sat in the waiting room. Little Lila was born at 11:48 pm, weighed 8 lbs 2 oz and was 20 inches long. She is so adorable with lots of dark, curly hair. And did I mention dimples, yep, she has dimples just like Court.
There is nothing like a baby fresh from Heaven. I'm pretty sure with Eliza, Blake, and Lila (and my cousin's children who have been in the last 3 years) that Grandma was the last one to love them and kiss them before they came to earth. I'm certain of it.

{The road trip begins!} Today was day one of our big road trip to Iowa. Mylie and I left the house a little after 6 to drive to Grandma's. It was a little sad leaving Blake. We got to Grandma's, stopped and ate lunch at Cafe Rio (totally worth blogging about it) and then we were off. We drove 1000 MILES today. I'm not kidding. Boise, Idaho to Ogallala, Nebraska in one day. It was about 12:30 at night when we stopped. The first two towns we stopped in had no hotel rooms, darn Nebraska county fairs!
Mylie was spectacular in the car. She's a trooper. She loves her headphones, which has the Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang soundtracks loaded on.

We leave for Iowa tomorrow! I'm excited but nervous about leaving Blake. He and Daddy will have lots of fun!
