SPRING BREAK!

Mostly pictures this time around. I had a pretty great break this week and we are going to go backwards because that's the way the pictures uploaded and I am too lazy to fix it. Today my mother and I had lunch at the Tohono Chul park. While there this little fella decided to nest on the lamp right next to us. It was fun to watch, as well as watch and chat with others who came by our table to take a picture. Mom and I really enjoy eating out side and this was quite enjoyable. I had some prickly pear lemonade and tacos. They were both good but the best part was spending time and chatting with my mom. Last year she spent a couple weeks with me during jury duty. Although I am not looking forward to being laid up in bed after I have knee surgery in summer I think I will enjoy all of the time I get to spend with Mom. 

On Thursday Mom and I drove up to Gilbert to go to the new Temple. In Mom's words, "Gilbert reeks of Utah. Oh, man I shouldn't have said that." But you did, and now it is on the blog. She is absolutely right, and I don't mind because I got to enjoy this deliciousness...so did Charlie.

 

While Morgan and Spencer did a session we watched this adorable guy.





So smug. He thinks he is sooo cute. I can't disagree though, look at him.

 He is so funny as he crawls around. He loved exploring the park across the street.

On Monday I celebrated St. Patty's day by making corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots and rosemary rolls (if you haven't made these, you want to. So easy, yet so tasty) at Derek's. I also headed downtown and picked up some butane fuel because I made, wait for it.......creme brulee. It was delicious and has to be one of my favorite things to make because how many desserts allow you to wield a blow torch. The best. I served it with some sliced strawberries, mmmhmm. 

To start the break off we went down to Sierra Vista, picked up Morgan and Charlie, went to the CAL ranch store, ate free popcorn, and brought them back to Tucson to hang out. Sunday morning we had fun playing and napping before church. Seriously can this guy get any cuter.

Oh, and in case the world didn't already know, apparently my closet does now. I went to the store and bought two dresses. I took off the outer tags to wear them and noticed the name brand. That's right the brand is 'I'm in love with DEREK' Bonus!! Let's just say I didn't throw the tags away.
