Life Lately

 One of my favorite things:
peas fresh from the garden 
 So in March I planted some! 
And am happy to report that they are doing wonderfully!
 While I planted peas Mark pruned apple trees.
 Then we rented a wood chipper
and tried to forget we ever saw the movie Fargo.
 Courtney helped make crepes (with Joseph and Emma looking on) for our
monthly birthday party at work.
 
Strawberry crepes and chocolate chip scones! Yummy!
We spent a little time in Provo
 with these fun people!
I went to a meeting in the Granite Tabernacle
 and fell in love with the building!
 We attended the wedding of Kylie and Perry!
It was a great party!
And so good to see so many of Paige's friends from Chirons.
Side note: 
A couple of weeks ago I went to Corner Bakery
to get my all time favorite cookie -
Only to be told they were not making them anymore!
So Sunday I made my own.
Take two chocolate (cake) cookies. 
Put peanut butter goodness in between.
 Et Voila!
 Thanks The Pursuit of Happiness for the recipe!
They were/are spectacular!
And last but not least
Spring has sprung!
 
Yay!!!

Confession

Hi, my name is Lisa and I am an iceaholic!


Seriously, my Mom calls me "the ice queen"
and Mark always tells her that is not a complement! 

Oh and I am not even trying to quit . . . I mean, it could be worse - right?

So for all you fellow iceaholics out there I thought I'd do a list of the best places to get your fix:

10 - Linda's fridge - I usually hate fridge made ice - but Linda's is an exception.
9 - The grocery store in Farmington where my nephew Tanner used to work, 
sadly I do not know the name. I do now thanks to Mackenzie!! Bowman's Market in Kaysville!
 it is great ice but it gets #8 because they are 4 hours away.
7 - Pizza Factory in St. George - well really all of
St. George knows their ice and have the good stuff!
6 - IKEA - so good that today I sneaked a cup in my purse while I shopped
just so I could fill it up before I left.
5 - Sonic - this is one of the best - and they sell it by the bag!
4 - Harmons - free cups full!!! Maybe that is why I shop there even if they are overpriced!
3 - VRx Parmacy - just a short walk from work and worth every step.
2 - Church Administration Building -good it is 2nd since it is where I work!!!
1 - Hires and Litza's - some go there for a Big H or the fries - I go there for the ICE!

I know this is a big confession to make but I am sure there are other
people out there like me
that can't get started in the morning until they have their
cup of ice!!!

Life is Good!

 With good weather
 comes yard work!
 So there has been some pruning,
 and some planting going on around here! 
I can't wait for peas fresh out of the garden!!!
 Plus a special visit from this sweet little Easter Bunny
who made the cutest flower pot for me!
 
 We colored some eggs!
 And dedicated one to Italy!
 Happy Easter! 
 But the best thing!!! We met
Sister Taylor of sisterwightman.blogspot.com fame!
 And we also met Hal
who took this hilarious picture!
Thanks Hal! 
 Monday Mark had to have a little test (colonoscopy)
fun for him!
 And I won a bunch a stuff for "liking" Planet Fitness
on Facebook!
Plus we got all these package from Italy!

Life is good!
