Mike's Return

My favorite cousin Michael came home from his mission not too long ago. I went to see him and his family to welcome him home and introduce him to Carl. We chitchatted with Mike for some time. little Ethan Michael connected instantly with Carl. He drug him outside to play in the dirt while I caught up with Mike. Poor Carl was exhausted and filthy by the end, but showed his true fatherly side. ^-^ It was such a wonderful visit!

Carl and Ethan together was such a huge kick.

Last time I saw little Jackson he was still in his crib!

The man of the hour, my cousin...he hasn't changed much ^-^

WICKED!

Carl and I were able to see Wicked! THANKS MOM! We got there way early and got to witness the Wicked Ticket Drawing. It turns out the girls who was next to us won twice! It was unbelievable! People were booing and getting pretty scary. So she booked it out of there. The show was AMAZING! We ironically saw my old Dentist, Dr. West, and his family there. (We also saw them at the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert so we got quite a laugh at that!) We also saw cousin Alyssa there with her family!
Carl loved it and was singing the songs all the way home. It was such a kick. Our cast was amazing. Galinda was such a kick. I really liked her!

Dinosaur Museum

Carl took me to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving point. It is the largest dino museum in the country! We saw a lot of different dinosaurs. We both thought it was really amazing that most of them were found in Wyoming, and Utah. We learned a lot of really loved seeing our world evolve! Highly recommended, even for kids!

I am joining the skeletons in the killing of the Mammoth.

They didn't find the body of this massive shark, but it's teeth were found and are about 7 inches big each!...poor Carl

It's Sith the Sloth ^-^

HUGE FISH!

This things neck was long with a tinny head, but it's body could have easily fit both Carl and me inside of it!

BIG TURTLE!

This was found in Wyoming! I thought that was pretty cool!

I thought this one was cool, but I forgot its name

The all terrifying T-rex!

Playing in the dirt?

Carl spent about half an hour playing with the erosion table. It was really cute actually!

The leg of "longneck"...don't get stepped on!

Not a stegosaurus, but something like it!

This thing was huge. It's a longneck ^-^

Hike Gehind SLC

We went hiking in SLC above UofU with our friend Max and his date Christine. We got there right as the sun was setting. It was very romantic and very fun! We then went to this cute ice cream shop called Spoon Me in downtown SLC. It was a very cute fun place although the icecream was not all that good, the atmosphere was awsome!

Carl and I at the very top!

So close to the top!

Carl's Game Website

Carl has always dreamed of having his own website. So he finally took the time and did it! He is now working very hard on his website www.gfalts.com or Game Freak Alternatives! We get money if a specific amount of people click on advertisements and just look at his website! He hopes to one day get enough page views to actually have Google pay him. I hope he does too! Even that small amount of cash would be a tramendous help to us! Go husband go!
