Super Duper Saturday

 

Today is the day I'm tackling a monster 20 pound Italian cream cake. This cake has been a family tradition for many years,,Two years ago when Chase and Ashley got married he wanted his favorite cake as a Grooms cake. Mama had to enlarge it to accommodate! And now a dear friend is getting married tomorrow and asked if Mom could make one for her wedding. Mom and Dad are in Texas so after much consideration I'm making this wonderful cake for Matt and Jaren!!! Hope that it turns out as good as Moms!!!! I'm using her old mixer that was passed down to her!!! Works like a dream!! I will post some pic of the finished product!!

 

Last night during all the heavy storms Lightning struck our neighbors tree,,, wow,, Eva Lauren was home and it really scared her,, it was so loud and shook the whole house!!! Glad no one was hurt here!!

 

This morning Darrell and I went down to the dock before the rain came,, Look what I caught!!! I just love hanging out at the dock!!! Its my second favorite place in the world to be!!! (home) is first!!

 

Darrell busy as ever!! Power washing the boat getting it ready for the season,, I'm ready myself. We just love it so much,,
I love him so much!!!
aint he cute!!!!

ever changing

 

Things seem to change so fast, the seasons fly by and babies grow up so fast. I wish I could push the pause button just to spend more time with the ones I love. However, I'm not in control of time so I will do my best to enjoy each and every day. All the little walks along the river, the afternoons after school, sleepovers, and any little extra time squeezed into each week.

Cotter Family

Today Eva Lauren and I meet up with Brooke and her family to snap a few pic. We had a blast,, what a cute family,,, these boys were so busy and having sooo much fun!!

 

 

 

 

lets just start this day over.......

 

What happened to my relaxing day off??

Today was insane,, had planned on having a great day shopping getting a pedicure and hanging out with my daughter.. Well of course that didn't happen!

What did happen was wake up to a roof leak!!!! What??? Out of my league for sure. Things didn't get any better, my daughter didn't want to stay home from school so away she went!!! So I headed to the BANK to get CASH!! well I took out my money and was sitting there writing out a check while this ATM machine is screaming at me??? I look up and it takes my card back into the ATM !!! So I go inside to get my card back,,, two people head out with the key and come back with my card,,, great!!! No!! they wont let me have it back,,, I wait as they call my Bank, my bank said to give it back to me,,,, but the bank that was holding my card hostage said they cant give it back without a release from my bank!!!While my Bank is on the phone with them telling them to give it to me!! So I have to shop with checks!!! how lame is that?? I needed gas,, pulled up to get gas,,, go to the window give her 40.00 and she turns the pump off at 20.00 !!! So i go back to the Little window and she says oh sorry sweetie,, just put the nosel back up and do it all over again :)))) By this time I hate dealing with cash!!! My husband calls and i explain all this to him and he asks "WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO ABOUT YOU" !!!!! Wrong thing to say!!!!! I go into walmart take one look around and decide that I should just go home and start over another day!!!

So I'm home with my PJ's on and about to take a chill pill!!!

My favorite girl in the world!!

 

I love this girl so much. I love everything about her. She is my baby girl and I'm so proud of her. How is it possible to keep loving her more each day?

 

 

 

On our way home today I talked her into letting me take her pic!! Cotter Bridge is always a wonderful backdrop and she is such a natural beauty.
