Garden Fresh

My aunt gave me a fair warning that they have never had success with their garden. So Daron and I put that soil to the test. We decided we might as well plant as many things as we could in hopes that something would come about. To our surprise almost everything has worked! Daron and I go out daily and look for more greenery or signs of life. Our most exciting things are the HUGE potatoes and the peas that are actually already there. Yay for us. I think gardening will be something we continue to do forever.




These are our HUGE potatoes...you must see in person...they really are big


This is Daron standing by our Squash...can you tell which is which???


Farmer Lisa. Need I say more?

Fish and Ice Cream

This is me.

So, as newly indoctrinated bloggers, you'll have to cut us some slack until we get into the habit of blogging about our adventures in everyday living, or as we'd prefer to call it, the wondrous and exciting adventures of D & L. The real reason we started this blog is because NBC approached us about filming a sitcom based on our lives, but they said they need a script first. So here it is! (Ok, now I'm off topic.)

Anyhow, we wanted to go fishing a few weeks ago but since we're beginners we didn't know exactly where to go. With Lisa's sister Kimber and her husband Kyle, we decided to go up around Pineview reservoir, which is up Ogden canyon for those of you who don't know Utah. We started in search of a quiet place on the Ogden river where I could try out my fly fishing skills. After finding what looked to be a relatively (and I mean relatively) slow spot, we got down to business. We only lasted about 30 minutes though because the water was way too fast and way too muddy. Since the whole river was like that we decided to go to Pineview and see what we could catch. But let me tell you, if you want to fish on a lake that you don't have to hike to, it's gonna cost you! So, discouraged at the fact that we'd have to pay to find a decent fishing spot, we drove around and found what we thought would be perfect! Little did we know, until we walked about 100 yards, that Pineview was so high that most of the beaches were gone, and the only ones that were still there were being occupied by either jet skis, or kids swimming.

At last we gave up and decided that since we had come this far, we might as well enjoy the scenery. We pitched our chairs and just hung out for about an hour before deciding to go home.

Still happy with no fish or ice cream

One final note:
If any of you have been to Pineview you will be familiar with a certain gas station where you can get a cheap soft serve, and self serve, ice cream cone. This was our final hope. But, as was the theme of the rest of the day, the machine was broken. So we left for home with no fish, and no ice cream to show for our struggles.

Oh, and this is my wife that I am so proud of for learning how to eat sunflower seeds!

Day 1- The Sunfire has set

Our new car- Pontiac Grand Am

Day one of our whole new blogging experience. Daron said I get to write first so ...here goes nothing...Since we don't have any kids to talk about and show pictures of I thought I would talk about the next most important thing...our car. Yes our first car died a few days ago so we felt we should say a few words in remembrance. Yay car thanks for all you did ....the end.So now we've moved on and bought another car. The story is a long one on how we got this new car but let's just say our plan to get only hotdogs and ice cream at Larry H. Miller didn't quite work out that way. I also found out that Daron is a born negotiator. He was awesome and got the price down almost half. Anyway stay tuned for more pictures of our incredible exciting life with cars.
