Mr. Hypnotist

HI HI!

just a quick post about the little Hypnotist show we all went to last night. it was great fun, and even though I don't believe most of what they did, I still rather enjoyed myself and do believe that some of it was truly..real?
anyways, enjoy and try to imagine what it would have been like in real life!!



it started off with them going into a "trance" and then they were to imagine holding a hot air balloon and a heavy bucket of water.
kee hee.
go figure....
















then he made them all go to sleep. some people totally crashed..and...one stubborn one just wouldn't go down. you see how the man is pushing his head down, trying to get him to sleep??
Joe ended up being sent off stage. HAHA













the man said, "you see a cruise ship with a whole bunch of naked men!" the lady was very enthusiastic about it, and um...I don't know why the guy is waving!!!













he made the women think their shoes were cellphones and the guys think their bellybuttons were rolling off the stage.


















the man got them all to turn to the person on their left and tell them how much they loved them. the guy turned to the old lady and said, "I love her" in this really, unemotional, serious voice. was funny. and then the lady turned and fell in love with the banana...







next time, I am so going up.
had lots of fun! And thankfully, Jason was happy for most of the time!
hurrah!

TOTTEMO SHIAWASE DESU!!!

Lixy arrived safely and happy! we were soooo happy to have her back with us, finally! and now it's all the Wallace's together in one house again, HURRAH!
anyway...
I thought I was super duper happy with just having her here, until she pulled out....my FAVE sembeis everrrr!! then I was...so happy I almost died!
so a HUGE thanks to Yuichiro (yes, Mika, hehehehee, Lixy told me to thank you too! heh) and MIKA! my day just got, THAT much better!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!














and this was a uper uper surprise too Miks, I love you babe!!! You know me too well, (ANYTHING for romance novels...tee hee hee) and this was a def shocker!! I owe you TONS!!







I'm not the only one who enjoys the sembeis, this morning I gave one to Jason and he just laid on the bed the whole time, just munching it, (most likely taking in every single bite! sensational!) and didn't move until he was done the whole thing!
yup! so that's a wrap! have a happy day! I know I will!

Lixy

.....is in the air now, please pray for a safe flight and landing. and for no dorky complications with all the passport and visa stuff.
they can get sooooooo nasty sometimes..
humph

me and my boys

I'm so in love.
I'm so lucky.
I'm so happy.

Thank you Jesus:)

these moments...

there's times in my life when I clench my fists, grit my teeth and just beg Jason to sleep or calm down, stop crying, stop wanting to always be with mommy..
but years from now, I'm gonna wish I could relive these moments again. the times when he needs me, when only my kisses can take away his pain. when only my arms can reassure him. when only my name will stop his tears. one day he's gonna be all grown up and not need me as much. he won't need me to rock him to sleep, or wipe away his tears. and I'm gonna miss these moments.
so with all the crying and clinging, I will do my best to treasure each moment with him, before he grows up on me and all these moments will be just memories...

Sugar & spice & everything nice.

.....that's what little girls are made of!



















And that's exactly what little Miss Annie is stuffed with to the top!

Happy 7th birthday Angelina Ai Hatano Wallace!!! I'm soooo glad to be able to be here to celebrate it with you, and help make you feel like a total and complete princess!! that's what all birthday girls deserve!
I hope this year is a magical and enchanting one, little princess. I'm hoping and praying that Jesus will make it a very special year for you, since 7 is such a special number. I'm not sure if you'll meet your one true, prince charming this year, well..I really hope not at least! but I know each year and each person you meet will only bring you closer:) kee hee hee.
Have an awesome day and a wonderful year.
I love you!

count on me through thick and thin
A friendship I will never end
When you are weak I will be strong
Helping you to carry on
Count on me, I will be there
Don't be afraid
Please believe me when I say
Count on me


I luv you Mika

For the beautiful Tearz

ok. wow. haha. I never thought I'd actually be posting some of my little old recipes on this here bloggy. maybe because....I'm not a good enough baker to do so!
BUT.
anything for you Tearz. although I don't know why you need it, you already make the yummiest spunge cakes and, goodies!
well, here's the recipe I use..
hope it turns out well for you!


Lemon Meringue Pie

1 cup sugar
2 tbs flour
3 tbs cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
4 egg yolks, beaten (reserve the egg whites for the meringue)
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 to 1/2 cup lemon juice
1 tbs grated lemon zest
2 tbs butter

In a saucepan, stir together the sugar, cornstarch, salt and water. Cook on medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil and bubbles, stirring often. Cook for 3 more minutes, stirring continuously. Turn the heat off.

Whisk the yolks in a separate bowl. Whisk in 1/2 cup of the hot mixture bit by bit, then whisk the yolk mixture into the saucepan. Let the filling return to a gentle boil and cook for 3 more minutes, stirring continuously. Turn off the heat. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice and the butter. Stir until it is smooth and let cool slightly.

Pour the lemon mixture into a baked pie or tart shell and top with meringue.
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. depending on oven, and until meringue is slightly brown.

Cut, serve and dig in!!!!

for the meringue I just whip up the egg whites and add a bit of sugar and a dash of salt. until little peaks form:) yay



As Easy as 123 Pumpkin Pie


1/2 cup evaporated milk (most of the time I use normal milk. easy and pay less><>Combine the ingredients together, blending until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared unbaked pie shell. Bake for 45-50 mins, until knife comes out clean.



as for the pie crust. I never use a recipe. but the one I originally started out with, that is basically the one that sticks to my head...

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 to 4 tbs butter
1/2 cup water


Combine flour and salt in bowl. Add butter and blend with fork, pastry cutter or your fingers until mixture is fairly coarse. ( I take two knives and cut it up that way)
Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, gently mixing dough after each addition until dough forms a ball. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and roll into a 10 to 11 inch circle. Line 9-inch pie pan. Flute edges.



and that would sum it all up!!
happy cooking! Love you lots and let me know how it goes eh?! hee hee

the three Wallace chicks reunited
