Making Pasta!

For family home evening we had one of my good friends from
work come over and show us how to make homeade pasta!! She
went on her mission to Italy--so she knows her stuff! She made
marinara sauce and mac and cheese--just the way she learned how in
Italy!! It was a fun and yummy night!!

FINISHING THE BASEMENT!!!

We are finally working on the third and final phase of finishing the basement!!
We had a fireplace installed--Darren is all done framing--it really seems to be going fast
this time!! The holes on either side of the fireplace will be built in bookcases. We have big plans for our
family/theater room. The kids all want Darren to have it done by their birthdays so they can have
friends over to watch movies on the big screen t.v. they want us to get----We'll see!!!!
