I'm Going to Italy!!!



I can't believe I'm actually going. I just booked the tickets this morning. It's been over 7 years since I returned home from Italy as a missionary and cannot believe I'm going back! My mom called me a couple weeks ago and asked if I would want to take some cooking classes with her in Italy. I didn't hesitate to say, "Of course!" We have now decided to include my two beautiful sisters-in-law for a "Girls Only Italy Extravaganza". We will be there for about 10 days and will be spending some time in Rome and the Amaffi coast (for our three day cooking class). Depending on what we want to do we might also head up North to try and see some more sites. Viva Italia!!!

Dinosaur Museum





We went to the dinosaur museum last Saturday. The boys loved it. Their favorite part was actually the beginning where you walk through a dark room covered in stars. You feel like you are walking through space. They wanted to do it like 5 times. It had nothing to do with dinosaurs but... oh well. We found a Utahraptor and so we had to take a picture of it because our boys are all in training to be professional "raptors" like their dad. I guess not all of you know but Neal is famous in our family and in our ward for doing a very good impression of a raptor. He's called brother Raptor now when we go to church. Anyway, the boys also got to play in some sand and water to learn about erosion and they also got to be excavators and dig for dinosaur bones. I also decided to let myself be in a few pictures. I noticed I'm not in very many pictures on the website or in general so I thought I would allow a few this time around.
