Justin got his acceptance letter to medical school on Friday! We are all so excited! He'll be a great doctor!

Hannah and Justin

Every time Rosie comes over these days, she always wants me to straighten her hair and I love to do it for her. She loves it! Look at her expression in this picture...especially in the mirror on the far right...her mouth is wide open with excitement! After I straightened her hair, I put it in ponytails and braids to show her different ways we could fix her hair. She said, "This is SO MUCH FUN!!!". I don't think I've ever seen such a girly girl toddler! It's so cute. Last night, when I was straightening her hair, I put on a long white nightgown with ruffles (because I got hot) and she told me how much she loved my nightgown and that she needed to wear it. When I told her I didn't have one in her size, she started crying and said we needed to go to her house to get one of her pretty nightgowns to wear. :) Poor baby girl...she's so sick right now...cold and fever and she wants to go play with her cousin and can't because she's contagious. :(

I cannot believe that I did not post pictures of Macy's 18th birthday!!! Crazy me! I was so rushed her birthday week so I ended up just getting this cake from Kroger...it was so good, though! The icing was the whipped kind and delicious! Macy was also busy her birthday week and on her actual birthday so we just went over to Nana's and had a few family members and the girls from our small group (it was our small group meeting night). Hannah made Poppyseed Chicken...Macy's favorite!

How can my baby girl be 18?!!!

Heather, me, Adrienne, Hannah, and May.

Hannah made Macy this card.....so sweet!

Pug, Shanny, May, and Phil.

And, I also got these cupcakes from Kroger...not as good as the cake at all but they were pretty.

Rosie was so sweet...she wanted to give Macy a birthday present so she picked out one of her newest (and most favorite) toys and wrapped it up for her. She wrapped it all by herself. It was dress up clothes from Polly Pocket's Cinderella. :) Rosie Love loves that May May!!!
Last night, we babysat Rosie while Hannah and Justin went out to dinner with friends and then went to a marriage seminar. We were planning on taking her and May to Dixie Cafe but Rosie was too sick so we ordered Dixie Cafe and Macy went and picked it up. For some reason, Rosie cries every time we thank God for the food and has been doing this for awhile now.....praying at any other time is fine but praying before the meal is not something she likes. So, after we prayed anyway, I told her that Macy loved to say the prayer when she was Rosie's age...well, that was all it took! Rosie Love immediately said, "Well, I like to say the prayer, too! Now, I'm going to be the pray'er" and then she prayed for the food! :) So cute!!! Also, Macy told her that we like to pray to Jesus because we like Him and when we like people we like to talk to them. She said, "Rosie, you like Hadoo and you like to talk to her, right?" and Rosie said, "Well, yes, I do" and then I asked Rosie if she liked Jesus and she said, "Well, I like him a little but not a whole lot". :) And then when I asked Rosie if she liked Macy, she said, "Well, I like her a whole lot but not a little!". Out of the mouths of babes!!! I sure do love their complete honesty!
I had a crown done yesterday on my tooth and it feels a million times better! That puppy was cracked all over! Cold water no longer hurts it! YEA! Lamar gave me a cortisone shot, too, and I have been wide awake and going since 5:45. I got up and started cleaning and organizing the house and doing laundry. Lamar said, "Yep, you've got the cortisone energy going!". I am starting to feel a little tired now, though...it's almost been 24 hours since I had that shot and it's starting to wear off. I'm supposed to go walking with a friend today so hopefully my cortisone energy will still be there a little. Well, I'm off to hang up clothes! :)

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Dresser Redo

I've been so bad at blogging in the past few years. I blog so I can remember. I painted a set of chest of drawers a few years ago in our other house and I loved the result. The only problem is I didn't blog about it so I have no record of what I did to it. I have no idea what red paint color I used. I thought I had it written on FB but I have searched and searched and I can't find anywhere where I wrote the paint color so now I have this wonderful red chest of drawers and have no idea what the color is. I didn't want that to happen again so I am making sure that I write about the chest of drawers in our master bedroom that I recently painted.  Here is the piece of furniture before Sorry about me in my robe in the mirror. LOL! I really wanted to lighten this up so I decided I would paint it white. I LOVE white and thought it would be great SO I used this chalk paint that I got at Michael's. I had already used it on my coffee table and thought it would be f...

My girl is MARRIED!!!

Oh, it's been so long since I've posted! I always say I'm going to start blogging again so I can remember things and then I never do. I get overwhelmed because I get so behind. It's like when I used to scrapbook, I would get behind and then just not do it. That's how I am about blogging but I just don't seem to remember things as well if I don't write them down and I love to have a record of life with pictures. But, I just HAD to write about Macy's wedding! I am just so happy about it!! I feel so overwhelmed with God's love for me and His goodness!!! Macy has always been such an example to me of God's grace and this is no exception. I always say, "How can Macy be MY child?" because she's just so NOT me. She is so much better! She loves mission trips, she is so laid back, and she has definitely not struggled in the same areas that I have struggled with. I've prayed for so long for specifics for Macy's future husband. The mai...
