They're too cute to eat and to expensive!

Look at these cute Easter Brownie Pops. So cute and they look just like spring, don't you think. I found them at Williamsonoma and to see them click here.

Warning:
They are $26.00 for 6 brownie pops. Can you imagine? I'd die before I would eat one. Anyone who would pay that for these little cuties would be INSANE!!


What a weekend!

First, let me apologize for my crappy camera! Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Needless to say, a new camera is on the list of purchases in the near future!!
This has been a weekend of firsts!! I'll explain! We canned beans and made Strawberry freezer jam. Yummmmmmy!



My BFF, Marla and yours truly!
First time I've ever canned anything!! I think I was called to be the Enrichment Leader in my ward so I would finally step upto the plate and get busy working on our food storage. With the help of some real knowledgeable folks from our ward and some good friends I can finally say I am finally getting PREPARED!

We bottled two batches of pinto beans. First batch we forgot to add the salt, but I think the second batch turned out perfect. We'll have to open a bottle and check them out, just to make sure we did it right. Thanks Jan for your good instruction and the use of your pressure cooker.
And...........here's the finished product.
Now tell me, just how impressed are you? I still think they'd look better with a bow on the bottle, don't you?

Run, Bubba, Run!!


I already emailed some of you this pic.......but I had to share it with the rest of the blogger world! This is my baby brother, James, AKA as BUBBA! He killed this snake (diamond back) in someone's yard in Mesa, yesterday. Can you believe it!!

He didn't look to scared, but I guess he's dealt with a few other snakes in his life and after that experience, this is NOTHING!

You are one handsome guy, Bub!!

I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

Looks like a beautiful spring day in Salt Lake City today......not! The high was 45 degrees! That's winter to me.

Now this is what a beautiful spring day looks like!! Yep.....72 degrees here today. Now that is SPRING!!

I remember growing up in the valley and going to the sunrise service at the Mesa Temple every year and freezing!! What happened? Must be global warning!

Need to diet?

So, do you think this would help? I bet it would keep me out of the fridge. Guess I'll have to have some vinyl lettering done and post it in my kitchen. Do you dare me?
