I've been told this a 1000 times, but you really can't depend on anyone BUT yourself. I had a new running buddy for this morning. We hadn't seen each other in a while even though she lives right around the corner from me. She wanted to get out and run to relieve some stress , but she texted me last night and said, she would have to take a rain check b/c she had to get into work early. Things happen. I was so excited to start running again at 5:30am again, but didn't happen. I still got up fairly early though and brought my work out clothes to work. I'll guess I'll go to the gym downstairs, even though I'd rather go outside. It's supposed to be 75 today. Beautiful!!
My husband and I are celebrating our 5th anniversary this Friday night. My parents are watching the kids that evening, while we just go to dinner. Nothing big. I'm hoping in the next 2 years, maybe for our 7th anniversary we can maybe go somewhere, we'll see. If I don't have another baby by then, HA!! You know the little girl, that I'm supposed to have that just isn't born yet? :) :) I 've already named her, well named her like 10 times, but I think I am going to stick to this last name.
One of my good friends is celebrating her 30th this Saturday night in Downtown Fort Worth. I'm excited and should be a LOT of fun! I haven't seen her in a bit and her family will all be there and I LOVE her family! :)
Sunday, I have to work b/c I run month end reports and they HAVE to be done on the 1st of every month regardless if it falls on a weekend. So luckily, it'll only take me like 2 hours unless something goes wrong. HOpefully that won't happen.
Then later that day I have my indoor soccer game at 3:30pm. This is the 2nd to last one , then I'm done with Soccer for a bit.
We are signing up the boys for swimming lessons in June and July every saturday morning at 9:30am. I was hoping to be in better shape, but that didn't happen. Hopefully the other moms Won't be in TOP shape either! LOL!
I Finally bought my ticket to Germany/London. I'll be there 7 days and traveling the 1 day going and 1 day coming back. I'll make sure to pick up my William & Kate souveneir because its MY wedding date! :) :)
I'll only have a day in London, so I will hit up the main attractions like West Minster Abbey, The Tower of London, Big Ben, some shopping , but skipping the changing of the guards, I'll just pass by the castle. I've heard its over rated. I'm traveling in October by the way..
I've heard great things about Berlin and Munich. That's where will be and then taking a day trip to Austria to check out the Sound of Music Tour! YAY!! Love that muscial!
The boys are talking more everyday. We have are fun times ,then the crying tantrum cries , but luckily it doesn't last too long.
Yesterday while we were at the park by your house, a Father and his Nanny were walking with twins in the stroller only 6 months old. I thought it was the wife until she told me she was the nanny. Offered me babysitting in the evenings or weekends and I got her number. I'll probably invite her over get to know her and she how she is with my kids. We are always looking for reliable , responsible babysitters that live close since my parents are SO far away. Well 45-50 minutes. Not that far, but they ACT like its Cananda! LOL! I especially like babysitters that have babysitted twins before. Only b/c I know they KNOW what to expect.
Next post, I'll talk more about Preston and Chase and not so much about me. LOL!
Happy Wednesday!

Clever Posts
The more and more I read other blogs , the more and more I realize, I can't write nor can I write clever, witty blog posts. Oh well. I guess if you've been reading this long, you obviously aren't bored with me. Now that I've moved blog websites, I only have 1 follower. Thanks Denise! I know some of you, don't have gmail accounts and don't comment but read. Thanks for still reading.
Tomorrow is good Friday and of course, my company doesn't get it off, but that's just my luck. Thank goodness the daycare is still open though so we don't have to take off. Honestly, if I had this day off, I would probably take the kids out of school and we would all go to the Zoo or something or take them to the Rain Forest Cafe. I think they would love that! Its just so crazy to take them to the cafe on a saturday.
Today the boys had their Easter Egg Hunt and Party at school. They ended having it inside their classroom b/c it was to wet and rainy outside. It was actually cold this morning. WE've been having such great weather too! It's supposed to rain like every day till Sunday. NOT cool. So much for going to another outdoor Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday. My husband and I have been wanting to get the boys a Thomas the Train Table. THEY LOVE playing with trains when we go to Toy R us, but they are so expensive. I've tried looking on Craigs List, but no such luck. Maybe for a summer birthday present. WE'll see.
1 week till tomorrow until William and Kate's wedding! I can't wait to watch! I mean, she's a commoner!! LOL! Fairytale wedding! I've already watched the Lifetime movie about them. I know, so lame. I can be lame sometimes right?
I'm heading off to Germany with my sisters in October and I'm finally buying my ticket. I'm using my husband's 40k miles from American. This is the second time I'm using them. I used them when we were dating to go to Italy for school back in 2004. So nice of him. I knew he was the one for me to marry! :) So now almost 7 years later, he's helping me out again so I can go and have fun with my sisters. He's so unselfish, its amazing. One of these days, it'll all come back on him and he'll get whatever he wants. He sacrifices so much for me and the boys. Anyways, so I'm purchasing my ticket tomororw! YIPEE!!!
We are going to Munich, Salszburg Austria(SOUND OF MUSIC) and Berlin. I do have an over night in London going, so I'll try to see some stuff before I head out to Munich that monday! SO exciting! and expensive. Will be saving the rest of the year!

Crazy Weeked Coming UP
Oh My! My weekend got really busy really fast over this past week.
First it was the TCU Alumni Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday at 1:30pm. Then my niece's soccer game on the north side of Dallas Saturday morning at 10:15am. Then my husband tells me that he was asked to play in a NSBE Lockheed Martin Flag Football game back in FW at 1pm on Saturday. Then I find out about the AIR SHOW at the Airforce base by Lockheed Saturday which I KNOW the boys would enjoy! All the point out to the sky is AIRPLANES!!
Then I hear about the FW MAIN STREET Arts Festival is going on this weekend also. Okay, so we really don't HAVE to go the festival, but I would like to. We'll see how we are after the flag football game. Supposedly, there is free food, which probably means free hot dogs and hamburgers, so I will probably feed the boys there. Lockheed Martin has their own Rec Center with softball and soccer fields, but its not actually right next to the plant , but about 15 minutes away.
Not to mention my indoor soccer game is at 5pm after the EGG HUNT. So what am I REALLY looknig forward to this whole weekend? THE EGG HUNT!! I know the boys will have so much fun going and finding the eggs!!!! They didn't do one last year, so this will be the first time. Not sure how many pics I will be able to get since my husband will be at work and won't be able to come. After all, I am a MOM that obviously tries to DO IT ALL!! LOL!
Oh and did I mention my softball game is tonight at 6:15? WOW, huh?
I need to go an purchase Easter Baskets for the boys tonight. I've had their perfect outfits picked out since end of February. I know, really? All they need are some haircuts and I think I will give them those after my game tonight. I'm going to be SO exhausted Sunday night into Monday morning, but hey... Time goes by fast and I don't want to be on the couch see it go by. Just my active nature! Promise pics Sunday night of the weekend!

Cookies, Shows and Reading
Last week, I decided to make some oatmeal cookies. It's this recipe I use from my parents Cook book over 40 years ago they got from their wedding. I used to make it with my mom growing up. ONe of my fondest memories.
Anyways, upon grabbing the Baking Soda, it some how spilled on the ground, hince the picture below. Cookies turned out delicious as always and Preston
loves them!
On another note, a few friends who recommended Twilight to me 2 years ago finally convinced me to start reading THE Hunger Games. Hate to say it, but its very entertaining! I want to finish it tonight, but I don't know if I have the time or the energy too. Might do it tomorrow. IN Laws are coming to town and I need to clean! and fold! My DVR shows will have to wait.
Speaking of shows, I know some of you that are FB friends with me saw my post about Grey's Anatomy singing event? What was Shonda Rhimes thinking!??? I mean really? It was the worst episode I'd ever seen of GA. I think this may be their last season. I know I'm going to stop watching finally. I should have given it up a couple of years ago, but I HUNG IN THERE! LOL! I've dropped a few others. Just not worth my time, that is already limited. Keeping Army Wives and Modern Family. Everything else, I really have no rush to see.
It's late, cooking dinner for tomorrow.
Oh and took P & C to their first dental appt. Chase didn't like it of course , but PReston did awesome! Dr. Sullivan(recommended by a fellow blogger) was superb! Love her and the facility!
Adios

April Fool's!
I was able to trick only one person today with an April Fool's Joke. One of my coworkers, but other than that it's been a regular day except for the fact that it's month end at work which mean I have to audit the month end numbers and run tons of reports. It shouldn't stop me from leaving at 4pm today, but you never know.
It's going to a beautiful weekend here. High's in the 80's! YAY! after we had a high of 54 like Wednesday. So this weekend isn't as packed full of things to do, but kind of is. Tonight I'm subbing on a softball team down the street, so that'll be fun. Hubby and boys are coming b/c it has a cute covered playground and lots of running around room.
Saturday, we have to get new tires on our Passat, oil change for our Honda. Hubby is playing golf at 2 and I'm heading to my mom's house/area to see my niece run in the 8th grade district track meet and then (he doesn't know this yet) leave the boys with my dad while my mom and I check out the Outlets! :) I think he can take them to the park okay, whatcha think? LOL!
Preston, Chase and I were at Target I think Wednesday night. Chase in the front of the basket and Preston inside, trying to stand the whole time. That boy just doesn't think he needs to sit down. So I stop moving until he sits. Anyways, we were in the check out line and the lady was scanning the products after P & C just HAD to put the items on the conveyor(sp?) belt. When we got finished Preston said "Move back, Mommy", "Move back, MommY". So i moved my basket back and Preston reached over to try to push the buttons on credit card thing. Who does P think he is??? Telling me to "move back"! LOL! It sounded so cute though, I just smiled b/c its so cool to hear them talk and putting words together to form sentences. If only I can get Chase to talk more instead of whine. It can drive you crazy and the thing is, Preston NEVER whines like Chase. Totally different people.
Sunday, I'm playing indoor soccer, church and I forget what else. Not in that order of course. So glad its' friday!!
Oh I'll work on adding pics and stuff back on my blog this weekend. I know its kind of blah!
I still wanted to post about my oatmeal cookies I made Wednesday night and how, like Abby B. dropped my baking soda from the cabinet and spilled on the floor. I took a picture of it and also the cookies I made. Preston likes my oatmeal cookies, but Chase does not. :(
Did I tell yal we are planning a trip to san antonio Sea World for Memorial Day? So excited! Just to take a trip with the boys and get away from Dallas. We'll probably go to the Riverwalk too and do the whole boat ride thing. The boys will like that, but that's only if Preston doesn't jump into the water before hand. That boy is fast! LOL! Also planning on visiting my brother the musician(http://www.jasonramseymusic.com/Site/Home.html)
in Austin and my best friend Nathalie from college.
Okay, gotta run. Happy Friday!
