Here's to Zack and Leslie!

We just wanted to tell Zack "Good luck" and Leslie "Congratulations." We wish we could have been in Idaho with everyone, and we missed all the fun. Ironically, we had a speaker in our ward today who has recently returned from Uruguay!

Zack -- Gabe says to tell you that he loves you and he will miss you. He hopes you do well on your mission and be careful.

Leslie -- We are all excited that you have decided to go on a mission, too. Costa Rica! Another Spanish speaker in the clan!

You will both be in our prayers as you serve your missions. Bon voyage! (Yeah, yeah. I know -- that's not Spanish, but it will have to do for the time!)

We love you both!

Dinosaurs!!! Run for your Lives!!!

Or is it "GABE and JONAS -- Run for your Lives!!" ???Today I took Gabriel and Jonas up to Ogden to the George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park. We had a great time! The boys were absolutely crazy, and they ran all over the place. The fossils were fascinating, and the life-sized specimens outside were awesome!
The boys enjoyed digging in the sand looking for the "fossils" hidden there. "Mom! I found something!"
Jr. Paleontologists (did I spell that right?)
This huge "tree trunk" was actually a double-sided slide. They had a lot of fun going up and sliding down over and over.



In case you can't read the sign: "World's Most Dangerous Creature." I think we can all concur. When these 2 get together, you never know what will happen!
These are the crazy boys in their photo ops:




Look out, Gabe! Behind you!
Ahh, he's just a pussy cat.

We had a great day. I've been meaning to do this all summer, and today it finally happened. This is the last week of my vacation. I have to go back to work next week. I am NOT looking forward to that!
