What a wonderful day

Today was one of the best days I have ever had. Wait, let me start with last night...Friday night I baked. Baked my little heart out. I made creme brulee, lemon meringue, and cinnamon muffins. The lemon meringue came out sooooooooo good. The cinnamon muffins had a great taste but, they looked...sketchy. Now I need to work on appearance, then they will be perfect. I made creme brulee for Doug and my uncle Carlos. I gave two ramekins of creme brulee to gam and gramps to give to him. They took them to him, and when he was getting out of the car when he got home, he dropped one. You read right, HE DROPPED MY RAMEKIN and it broke. He seriously was trying to find a way to still eat it (of course you know what I thought of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtWy54au_ws). Poor guy, of course I have never laughed so hard in my life.

This morning we got up early to go to Albuquerque and attend the New Mexico Autism Society Walk/Run for Autism. It was so exciting to see all of our shirts on the participants. The best part was when we talked to the President of the NMAS, she told us that they had so many participants they ran out of shirts. I was beyond thrilled that they had the turnout they had. We are going to be printing 100 more so they can send them out to people who did not get a shirt. Michael then decided he wanted to participate in the kids 1K run. I was so proud of him. He got a medal that he wore proudly. The event was so fun and so successful. Next year it will be bigger and better. On another autism note...I am participating in a project of called Autism Mother's Photography Project. I will be having my photo taken this week. I'll let you all know more details as I know them.

After the walk we had lunch, walked around the mall, went to Williams- Sonoma where I got an ice cream maker (BEYOND EXCITED about that purchase), the kids played in a fountain (yeah, that was all Doug), went to Old Navy where I got the kids some summer clothes and myself some really cute t-shirts, went to Best Buy to get use my Rewardszone certificates, and came home. It was a great day with my family. I wish you had been here with me.
