All by Myself!
Ok so about 2 weeks ago I went to a pampered chef party and we made a dessert. I have been craving that since I helped make it. So I finally got the recipe and went to HEB to get all the stuff.
Well guess what I did today.
STRAWBERRY CREAM TRIFLE
I made my hubby a mini one.
I am suprising him when he gets home from VBS tonight.
He will be totally suprised.
Enjoy!

Mr. & Mrs. Webster
My kids absolutely adore our neighbors
Mr. & Mrs. Jeff Webster.
Let me tell you as soon as we drive up to our driveway and they see the car and garage open they beg us to go say Hi. Or if they are outside then they run up to them and just have the greatest time with them.
They adore them. Mr. Webster is usually watering his grass so they love that part
because he lets them water his grass and even get wet sometimes.
He will also bring out the tennis balls and let them throw them on the roof and chase the ball afterwards.
So guess what when I got home from work Mr. Webster was watering his grass and I asked have my kiddos seen you. He said," No bring them out." So as soon as I walked in the door I told Hannah, "guess whose outside?"
She ran outside with her cousin Adrik following along.
Micah was still in his pajamas. Yes I know at 5 p.m. so I told him who was outside so he made me change him really fast.
As you can see he ran outside yelling, " Mr. Webster"
Hannah & Micah cousins were over so they were thrilled just as well.
Look who had control of the water hose. Yup!
Ms. Hannah
There's Micah running through.
Mr. Webster took over because Hannah was getting the kiddos wet. And it would not look nice if they went to VBS drenched. lol
After the water hose, he brought out the tennis balls.
Didn't I tell you he would.
They were bummed they had to go but dont worry there is more of Mr. & Mrs. Webster in the future.
Wow!
OK so I know I am probably the only one that has not finished reading Eclipse or Breaking Dawn. Yup! I know. But last week I started ready Eclipse all over again because I had only gotten to the 1st couple of chapters so I re-read those chapters. And Yes I have been reading every chance I get. Yes at red lights, during lunch, riding in the vehicle with the family, at night and anywhere else I could read. So today the kids and my hubby went off to VBS from 6-9 and guess what I did for 3 hours. YUP! Read the rest of the book. OMG.
I cried and cried
I know you are probably wondering at what part well I started crying in the middle of Chapter 26 when Bella went to go visit Jacob b/c remember he had gotten hurt when fighting. I love this part:
"You know that story in the Bible?" Jacob asked suddenly, still reading the blank ceiling.
"The one with the king and the two women fighting over the baby?"
"Sure, King Solomon."
"That's right, King Solomo, " he repeated. " And he said, cut the kid in half... but it was only a test. Just to see who would give up their share to protect it."
"Yeah, I remember."
He looked back at my face, "I'm not going to cut you in half anymore, Bella."
then this part:
"He's like a drug for you, Bella." His voice was still gentle, not at all critical. "I see that you can't live without him now. It's too late. But I would have been healthier for you.
Not a drug; I would have been the air, the sun."
The corner of my mouth turned up in a wistful half-smile. "I used to think of you that way, you know.
Like the sun. My personal sun. You balanced out the clouds nicely for me."
He sighed. " The clouds I can handle. But I can't fight with an eclipse."
"I'll always be waiting in the wings, Bella," he promised, lightening his tone and loosening his arm. I pulled away with a dull, dragging sense of loss, feeling the tearing separation as I left a part of me behind, there on the bed next to him. "You'll always have that spare option if you want it."
Then I was really crying in the next chapter (27)
When she left Jacob's house and had to pull over because the pain was unbearable. Then Alice and Edward showed up and , "The door creaked open, and he pulled me into his arms." Awww..
"Edward didn't say anything, he just let me sob"
OMG! It's like I can see the movie in my head already. This was so good and can not wait to see the movie.
The sad thing is that I can not watch it opening night because I have to work the next morning and everyone knows that Queen April needs 8-10 hours of sleep.
So guess what I am off to bed or I might just start reading the last book
Another favorite quote from pg 195 of the hard cover. End of chapter 8
"Sleep, my Bella. Dream happy dreams. You are the only one who has ever touched my heart. It will always be yours. Sleep, my only love."

1st Piano Lessons
She did so well, I am a proud Mommy. She picked up everything that she was being taught. She even got homework to do. As soon as we got in the car she said, "Ok Mom you are going to tell me what homework I have to do, right?" As soon as we got home she was on her brother's keyboard and rehearsing what she learned. She did great. I will quiz her tomorrow to see what she remembers. She is a very fast learner so I know she will do well. She was ready to go back tomorrow for lessons. Lol
The picture with the balls is so that she knows how to put her fingers at all times.
Thanks Ms.Darby we will definitely be back. I am learning now too. hee hee.....
2 for 1 special.

Whoo Hoo!
Since the biggest loser started on May 1st I told myself that i would walk/run 10 miles a day. Well it has been hard to do. I do 5 miles or 7 miles but never 10. Well guess what I did it TODAY.
I am so stoked.
Another accomplishment also was that I ran today during lunch for 33 minutes and ran non stop.
2.77 miles
WOW!
I am so proud of myself.
I am getting better and better everyday where I can run longer vs. walk.
Tonight I walked/ran 7.5 miles on my treadmill for 1:44 minutes and burned 902 calories.
WOW!
So proud of myself again.
I have set goals and they are coming along great.
The only bad thing is that I am not tired right now.
I am wide awake.
Ooppps.
