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)

Three Wide In Turn Four

Yes, I married a redneck, so sometimes I think like one. While this has nothing to do with racing, this is the best I could come up with. Before I got pregnant with Caden, I remember hearing people talk about their kids sleeping in bed with them, and thinking---Heck, NO! There is no way. I have a hard enough time sleeping with my six foot tall husband in my bed, there is no way I would consider adding someone else. So, when I had Caden I stuck to that. We didn't do "co-sleeping". His room was attached to our room, so we let him sleep in his crib from day two, at home. The first night I was a little leary, so Mom helped me a bunch! And he did so well. He'd sleep from about 9:30pm until about 3:30am, I'd nurse him, and he'd go right back to sleep, in his bed. Then he's wake back up around 5:30am or 6:00am, when Michael was getting ready for work. Then he would snuggle up with me in my bed and go back to sleep until 8:00am or 9:00am. Pretty good for a newborn...

Fractured Fairy Tales

OK, so most of you know we are no longer going to our church here in Dawonville. But that's a different story for a very different day. Anyways, the church I've been going to, I've really enjoyed. Our current series is 'Fractured Fairy Tales'. Numbers 80:7-12. He says that fairy tales are great, but they leave us thinking we should all have happy endings. That is not the way life is. Last week was about Jacob, how he was not the one that made the bad decisions, but he was 'fractured' because of his brother's choices. God uses evil for good. Sometimes others make our fairy tale fractured. This week we talked about Moses, how he had his own idea of how he wanted things to be and he didn't obey God, therefore he fractured his fairy tale. Life is a roller coaster, no matter how much we love God. We tend to want to push the blame, or push it to the limits. When we go through our fractures, we want to blame God, or others. We are so kin to Adam and Ev...
