I Told You So!!

This past Thursday was Michael's birthday and next Sunday is my Dada's birthday. Also, today my cousin's little boy got baptized. I tell you all of this to tell you that Last night my Mom's side of the family all got together for fun and while we were there we also were celebrating these three things.
I decided to try something new. I wanted to make a homemade cookie cake. So I bought the dough-not usually how I like to make cookies but oh, well. And I looked up on the Internet how to make one. Michael does not like chocolate so I wanted to make him a sugar cookie one.
Friday night I started experimenting and had some trouble, the cookie was either too raw, or over cooked. After making three, I called it a night and was going to try again in the morning. So I did. Saturday morning I got up and tried one more time. Nope, again I couldn't get it right. So I decided to go buy more dough and go to Mom's to see if she had any expert advice. I tried again, this time being a little more successful. I made two chocolate chip cookie cakes. Now I just had one more to make, the sugar cookie one. I only had about an hour left, so I cooked it. Meanwhile, I iced the chocolate chip ones. One for Dada and one for Gabe. The sugar cookie on would not cook up right, so I began to panic and try to cook it, all while being rushed by Mr. Price. By the way, I am not usually a last minute person, but as you can tell, I was having some problems!!
It was time to leave and the sugar cookie was still not all the way cooked. Oh, well that was Michael's, I had already made him a birthday cake for his birthday, he'll understand and that way we can leave.
OK, load up Caden, all his bags, his drinks, make sure he's in a dry diaper. Lock the doors, sign the cards, turn off all the fans and lights. (Meanwhile, Michael is thumbing through Mark's yearbook.) "Michael you grab Caden!" Load up the car!!
We are headed to Canton, just on the minute. Let's go!!!
Half way there. "Michael, did you get the basket with the cookie cake?"-Holly
"No, you told me to get Caden."-Michael In Holly's head....I got the bags, locked the doors, turned out the lights, changed Caden....
So you guessed it! I spend two days making cookie cakes. Ended up making six. Four of which didn't turn out. And here we are on our way and no cookie cakes ere going to the get together!!!
So I have taken pictures of these cakes so I can say. I don't usually like to say this but, I TOLD YOU SO!!
(Here they are....Dada's name is a little messed up from the foil)

Picking It Back Up

It's been a minute. Actually it's been five years.  I'll just say life got crazy busy adding our girl.  So let's start with today. Today I am sitting and thinking about everything. Life. We are currently living in an apartment in Macon. A loft apartment, meaning it's real expensive. Not much more about it is fancy. We do have an elevator but that's about it. We are in the meh, middle stages of building our house. June 2018, we bought 21.55 acres in a spot in the road called Forsyth. It's just outside of McDonough (where we grew up) and Macon. We looked in lots of places, tired to decide where we wanted to raise our kids. We wanted excellent schools and wanted to in a good church. June 2019, we sold our house on April Drive in Conyers and moved to The Lofts at Bass while we built our home. We wanted to go ahead and get the big kids in school where they would be once the house was complete. They are there!  We are hoping to be in it by Halloween. Our bu...

We're Back!

So I wanted to try to start blogging again. I went to my blog and I can't figure out how to work it. It's different, and I couldn't make it cute. So have moved back to Blogger. Here we are. This is my favorite time of year to do fun Pinterest crafts, so watch out! I will try to feed the family and wash clothes, but for the most part, you can find me some where doing a DIY project. 'Til then-Bye!
