Now to the weekend....

This afternoon I am heading to my hometown for the night. I am super excited because I haven't been home or seen my family since my brother's wedding in June. The main reason I am going home is because my brother and dad are in a bike race every year across the Blue Ridge Parkway and are you ready for this.....they ride 100 miles. I truly do not know how they do it. I am blessed to have such an inspiring family. Everyone in my family has always been very active and healthy and it helps keep me on track.

Here they are at the finish line last year. My mom, sister and law and I were the cheerleaders!!

 



 

So last night I was in a baking mood so I decided to bake something to take to them for tonight.

 

My brother can't eat a lot of chocolate and my dad loves brownies. So I decided I would make a cookie cake and some brownies to make them both happy.

 

 

 

Now I am definitely not the drawer in the family (my brother is) so don't laugh at my artwork. It's the thought that counts right? ha

 

Ready to cheer them on. So proud!!
