Easter and more

The girls took a little trip to sunny California
the first part of March (without us!)
 And this might maybe be my favorite Disneyland picture
EVER!
 Thanks to Ben for hosting!
 We all love Disneyland!
We also love movies!
 
 And when classics like Rear Window are on the
big screen - we are there!
 Another thing that Mark and I enjoy is
Maya, our neighbor, who comes over
"just to talk" sometimes!
 You are never too old to color Easter eggs together
 right? 
 We didn't color many this year
 but the ones we colored were quality!
 Since Easter was on conference weekend
we had such a wonderful, relaxing, day.
 And we cooked a wonderful Easter meal together.
The poached egg salad seen above
 and this beautiful chocolate souffle
 are 2 of the things Courtney learned to make
at her Harmon's cooking class. #thankyouharmons
I have been walking around, taking pictures of plants
 
that I like for ideas to plant in our own yard.
 Of course these are taken on Temple Square.
 A garden worthy of emulation!
 One day my Paige came to town
and we went to lunch at Cucina!
 Mark got nice tickets to a Jazz game and
and Mark and Linda came too.
At one point Mark H. felt a little wetness on his head.
 And the Jazz bear was behind us with a can of silly string.
He was going around hitting all the bald guys! 
 It was way fun! I have only ever attended one other
Jazz game and we were on the top row - literally! 
 Last Sunday I made Pavlova for dessert.
And while it was far from perfect
it was yummy and I will try, try again! 
On Wednesday, April 15th we finally got some snow.
More than the whole winter combined I heard.

But the flowers on Temple Square still look beautiful!
What a wonderful world!

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!

New and Improved

 I said changes were afoot!
Here is a "before" shot.
 First they took down all the wood.
 And covered it with paper
and wire.
 Then they "browned" it - which looked black and grey to me.
 And then they put the stucco on it.
And we think it looks fabulous!

Once I get my suns back up
it will be perfect!

Yesterday and Today

 Yesterday was Easter so we colored eggs.
 And ate them.
 Aren't they just the cutest?
 Today I took a long drive and thought:
1 - The people who live on the East side
miss out on the beautiful view that we West siders have!
 2 - What is up with these hairy, long horned cattle
right in the middle of the "city"!
3 - What a beautiful temple!

It has been such lovely weather the last couple of days.
So glad I got out and enjoyed it a little bit!
Hope you did too!
