weekend update:

We're gearing up for Easter! 

Friday we went and saw the easter pageant at the mesa temple. Unfortunately it's not performed live...just actors/dancers lip syncing to pre-recorded music. ...don't tell anyone...I didn't love it. The idea was good, just wished it were all live. The pageant tells the story of Christ through song and dance. 

Saturday I spent most of the day shopping for gear for our camping trip next weekend!! Whoo! Thank you tax refund! 

Today, I dyed Easter eggs! My favorite! I got all the dye to myself and got to dye all the eggs I wanted! I loved it! 

& now time for the walking dead! 

Weekend happs

Saturday was rough....

We started the morning by running a 5k..

My friend from work ran it as well. 

The 5k was fun! It was in Phoenix along the canal. I've been running with Hendo and feel like my times have been so slow. I was happy with my run time yesterday so that was nice :) 

We got home and I got to work on writing mine (and mike's) talks for church today. It took for-ev-er. I don't know why, but it was rough! It took me all day. By about 5 I needed a break so I took Hendo for a walk. I love this time of year when everything is blooming! I saw this pretty flower on our walk.. 

We came home, I did homework and finally finished our talks in time to go to bed at 11. 

Our talks went well and church was good. We came home, I worked on more homework and then even had free time! I forgot what that was! So I scrapbooked for a bit. And of course took Hendo on another walk :) 

So glad this weekend is over! Only two more weeks until the Grand Canyon! 

Cal-zonés

Does anyone even read my blog?? Haha well tonight for dinner we had....

Parks and Rec style. 

For your calzone: 

Refrigerated pizza dough 

Parmesan cheese 

Pizza sauce 

Pepperoni 

Any other pizza topping

Flatten out the dough, split in half (to make two large) On one side spread the pizza sauce, add cheese and toppings. Fold the end over and pinch the ends shut. Top with cheese and bake at 375 for 15 minutes. 

The end. 

today

Today we went to church, took a family walk, ate corn beef and cabbage, and did the unmentionables [worked on school stuff]. Goodbye spring break. Hello statistics. 

Hendo is too dang dark. He is constantly blending in. 

That one time I planned to take a pic and then accidentally ate half my food before I remembered I wanted a pic. #oops

Goodbye spring break. You sure were lovely, but it's back to school we go. I will miss having so much free time to read, hike, sleep, run, and relax in general. 

And speaking of hiking, today we got to go up to the Lost Dutchman area to hike around the Superstition Mountains. The wildflowers were blooming and we got up close to the end of the day so it was nice and quiet. Arizona mountains are all dog friendly so we brought Hendo along. He was a champ! 

Our last day of spring break landed on pi day. Generally I love pi day...who doesn't love pie?? But alas, this month I'm not eating dessert-type treats. So instead we had chicken pot pie for dinner. 

I'm staying away from fb for a bit so stay tuned for more blogging :)
