Sweet Tooth

Ahhh, so I have a SERIOUS sweet tooth!!! All I want to do is scour the web for dessert recipes and good heavens...keep me away from Food Network!!
This week I had granny's cherry cake, made dump cake, smores, bought cookies and am contemplating making Giada's chocolate tart and there is still about half of the dump cake left!!! Is that BAD??? Just missing the blasted heavy cream and the patience for it to set in the fridge...usually ends up in my arctic freezer to speed up the process. Is it also bad that I secretly wish my kids won't eat the bananas I buy so they can turn into muffins or bread??

Easter

We had a nice Easter with our family! We got up EARLY and went to church, yes we have 8am church, which is just wrong in every way. Of course our ward MUST have speakers even on Christmas and Easter when I would much rather listen to a cantata. My parent's ward always had big cantatas when I was growing up...must be all the musical talent in their ward. The boys did get a chance to see the gifts the Easter bunny brought. Coby had to take his carton of Robin eggs to church. After that we stopped by the house to get the rest of the Easter goodies and change clothes. Then we headed to my Grandparent's house in Mesa. Some of my family was already there. We ate a really yummy lunch, I wish I had room for seconds!! Although we did get leftovers for dinner. My sisters and I hid the eggs in a grass area for the boys. They had a lot of fun. Coby would find an egg, inhale all the jelly beans and then throw the empty egg. After a little chatting and resting we headed home. Some of Mark's family stopped by later that night to give the boys their goodies. I can't believe school is almost over! We have a lot of graduations coming up!
