I'm Not Really Into Cooking

I'm not really into cooking, but I don't mind baking every once in awhile. This weekend my Mom and I decided we should make some sugar cookies for v-day. It was kind of a tradition growing up for my sister and I to make these cookies with our Mom, and not just for Valentine's day. We would make them for many different holidays. Anyway, these have got to be the best cookies, EVER. I may be a little bias (family recipe) but, I would say these cookies are better than Kneaders or Paradise. Yeah, I just said that. 

Happy Valentine's day tomorrow.

HOBBIES

So I have been thinking about after school (you know, when I graduate) and I feel like I'm going to have some spare time. Ok, more like hoping that I will. I don't really have many hobbies and I keep telling myself I need to get a few. I was at my parent's house a few weeks ago and my Mom had been doing some deep cleaning. That is when we found this bad boy. Light meter and all. 

It is Slick Rick's (my Dad) camera. Which he said it use to be my great Grandma's. I couldn't believe my Dad still had the camera.

By no means am I photographer, I did take one photography class which seems like forever ago but, I thought this could be fun and maybe learn a few new things. Wish me luck.

NEW ADDITION

We are now going to be a family of four. No, it's not what you are thinking, I'm not pregnant. Matt got a horse! Matt has been wanting to get a horse of his own for awhile now and this couldn't have come at a more perfect time. He is so excited about it and spent almost all weekend with him. The new guys name is Dynamo and he should fit in just fine with the other horses.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today is Dax's (my sister's son) 1st Birthday. He brings a lot of excitement to the fam since he is the only grandchild on the Davis side. There was a big robot party for him this weekend which was great. A "yada" (pinata) and all as my cousin's son would say. I had fun helping my sister with some of the design elements and of course the cupcakes. :) Here are a few pictures from the party. 

LAST SEMESTER

This week was my first week of my last semester. Can you say crazy? I thought maybe I would be excited. But, honestly I'm not so sure about the whole last semester and graduating thing. I'm happy to be moving on and doing something new but, very scared at the same time. Lots of people go to school for five years right? That's what people keep telling me. I still am not sure what I'm doing once I'm done with school but, hopefully I will be figuring that out soon.

I haven't had an 8 o'clock class for a couple of years and it's kicking my butt. I've been rockin' a pretty sweet messy bun so I'm able to sleep as long as possible. :/

On a side note, Dozer has been hanging out in his beds a lot. Yes, I said beds. He has two. Spoiled right? He had an accident last weekend while playing at the farm. His ear got caught on some wire which left a pretty good sized cut. It has bleed off and on this week but, it is definitely getting better. Lucky we didn't need to take him in for stitches.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Wow, another year has flown by. This year the holidays were pretty low key and we had a great time. We got to see a lot of family and friends that we haven't seen in awhile and it was great. :)

I have definitely been a slacker taking pictures lately. So here are just a few.

Above is what our New Years Eve looked like at about 10 pm. Yeah, then about 11:30 we were in bed. Matt and I were joking about the year that I fell asleep on him before midnight. That was four years ago and it's crazy to think about every that has happened within those four years.

This last year I went through a lot. I have grown so much as a person and I am so thankful for my wonderful family. I am more happy than I have been in a long time and can't wait for all the changes that are going to be happening this year.

READY FOR THE HOLIDAY

This month has flown by and Christmas will be here before we know it people. I figured I better put a picture of our tree up for a few reason. But, mainly because it is a fake tree. This is a big deal at our house. Matt has always been so avid about having a real tree. This year we decided to grab one at the lovely Wal-Mart due to the fact we have been short on time. 

And here is the holiday card that I designed for my Momma. I had a lot of fun working on it and was glad that I was able to do it for her. I hope everyone is having a good holiday. It's great to almost be done with the semester and to be able to spend time with the fam.

Until next time.
