Tyler Texas

The timeshare out at Tyler is soo fun! Mom bought a unit second hand for really cheap and we have used it like crazy! I haven't used it really till recently when I moved back to Texas. We get one week every year guaranteed and with it comes all the bonus time we want that is available of course. But we got this week and you read we got it a couple of weeks ago too!

There is sooo much to do here. I just got done playing ping pong with Mel (my sister). Don't ask Mel who won! We played a little tennis earlier and Eric and Caleb went to the pool! This is all after our dinner and party for Caleb. Meatloaf and baked potatoes yummmmm! And I made a pirate hat birthday cake for Caleb which he liked and it turned out okay. Caleb did destroy one of the pieces when he ate some of it early. Oh well. He got a stunt remote control car and a remote control jeep and some pokemon cards. He liked them all, how shocking!

Mom and I stopped at an outlet mall that is right on the way here and I got a bathing suit for Eric for super cheap, and some bread baking stuff. A better stone, a silicone brush, and a thermometer. I found this bread pan that is sooo neat! It is two long curved bread holders molds whatever they are called. This is for my French Bread! They will be much better shaped now! I was sooo excited to see it! I never thought they would have anything like that!

Eric has two sub jobs for next week. so far... I am glued to the posting site site to get as many as I can for him. But just one or two more and he has earned enough to pay for my real estate licensing! That would be cool to finally be licensed and making money!

Tomorrow we are going to go swimming and mini golf playing. Probably more tennis and ping pong too. Pin ball machines and some pool, maybe some movies. We are not even going to the lake this time. We could have brought the boat but we didn't feel like we would spend enough time on the lake to warrant bringing it all the way down here. and what else to go with all this then good food! the only thing to make it better would be a softer bed, and my french bread for lunch!

I received an email from Donna telling me my sling was in. I thought about calling her to see if it had come in this morning, because this is the perfect place to try it out! I didn't but I should have! I can't wait to see it though. It is an awesome black with pink flowers. And I can hold Elizabeth I can't remember how many ways, but a whole lot more then anything else I have ever used!

Bread in 5 minutes a day!

Okay talking about this bakery thing, Michelle asked for my bread recipe. I can't just give you the recipe, I have to explain a few things. This is not the easiest bread to make. It is not a typical recipe. The beauty of this recipe is it follows the once a month cooking line. I make one batch all at once that makes about 4 loaves or if doubled 8 loaves of bread. And I can refrigerate this bread for up to 2 weeks in between bakings! So I don't have to cook all 4-8 loaves at once! This is sooo simple and easy! And that is where they can boast you can make a loaf of bread in 5 minutes every day!
Elizabeth is trying very hard to be held by ONLY me for 24 hrs every day! She has not been cooperating at all lately. she has been super fussy. Every time I lay her down she instantly goes into this 'I'm dying' crying mode. She doesn't build up to it like she normally does. I have been trying to do the best I can. And because I cannot type fast enough, while holding her, to not get frustrated and give up till another time, I have to finish giving the recipe another post another time.
Tomrrow we are taking Caleb to tyler for the weekend for his birthday. More updates later!

Okay I have been present and all that but I am in the Dead Zone. I have been helping Jeanne and George move and they only have DIAL UP! I have to make myself get on here today to let you know I am still alive! I am alive and well, we are almost done moving Jeanne and George. Caleb is good, we had fun at tyler, Lizzie is good. Eric got some subbing jobs. Dad got his new job at aafes started. I have so much fun making my bread that I now want to open a bakery! I am trying to think of good names. If you have a good idea please tell me!!! More to come later!

exciting weekend

We have an exciting week end planned. And yes I did spell that right. Tomorrow after Caleb gets out of school we are going to drive to Tyler Texas and stay with Mom and Dad and Mel at the time share. This is Dad's last week as a free man! He starts his new job on Monday! He now works for AAFES. The same place Terry and Elizabeth once worked.
We have to come home from Tyler Friday evening. Mom wants to be home for General Conference. So it is indeed the end of the week and not the weekend!
Other good news Caleb has broken the school record! He now has 9 smiley faces in a row! tomorrow will make ten! I hope he makes it. He got to go to chuck e cheese for the first five. that was the reward. And camping this week end will be the reward for the other five.
Lizzie is good I think. I don't know what she weighs, I have a doc appointment the 21st, Erics birthday!
Eric is good. He almost has his subbing license stuff in order. Just a few more days! Then he can sub for schools and make some money! That will be nice. Then we can save up and get I my license down here and I can make some money too! Things are looking up.
