Auntie came in town

Aunite Cyd is in town to visit because she just misses us all so much! I was really excited for her to come but also with us being sooo close she drove me nuts and vice verse and we were both happy but sad to part again. For Mr.Jay here he at first with any family member that's been away for a period of time, he wasn't really feeling Cydney but he warmed up and they just played and had a great time. We definitely hope see her again soon and it will probably be us going down ti Miami or meeting up somewhere together for a mini family vakay.

Happy Birthday great great Grandma

My great grandma just turned 90 this past week and of course Jaylen makes the day about him in some way, but we all loved it. My great grandma, his great great grandma had a really "great" 90th birthday.

The Red, White and Blue

 This 4th we didn't do as much as I guess we did last year but it went a lot smoother than it did last year I'll tell you that. So here above we had to go out the day of and get a few things. I wanted to dress Jay for the occasion but not to literal like he had last year that said "My First 4th"

We spent a good amount of time at the pool that he actually wanted to nurse and then fell asleep but we had a good time and he really enjoys the pool.

The big boom! So we at the last minute decided to go to watch the fireworks that's why you can see a hotel just under the actually fireworks. And I also ended up waking him up to see them because like last year he fell asleep and I really wanted him to see them this year and I'm glad I did because he was just in "Aw" So all 'n all we had a great 4th and I hope you did as well.

Simple edits

This collage wasn't an original by me by from the wonderful world of pinterest I came across a similar picture to this that I created on pickmonkey. And if you may know this picture wasn't taken in the light that it looks like it was taken in, it was probably around 10pm when I took this photo but it sure doesn't look like it huh?

The setting on my camera that I used was manual mode Aperture Priority "Av" with the ISO at 1200 the highest light it could go with some adjustments just to be sure it didn't look to bright and with a steady hand and sleeping baby you've got a very detailed picture of your baby. Then to make the collage if you follow the picmonkey link above it's really very self explanatory after that and then either use paint to add the font or just stay on picmonkey like I did to do it.

Now get creating your own pro-collage yourself!

Crepe oh Great!

If you haven't tried a crepe or you have and hated it, try this one trust me you'll fall in love with it!

I call this crepe the blueberry, banana crepe, simple as that.

Ingredients:

3 eggs

1 cup whole-wheat flour

1 cup milk

3/4 cup water

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon butter, melted + extra for cooking

The how to: 

Put all ingredients in blender and mix well. Let stand about 15 minutes.

Melt and swirl around a small pat of butter in an 8 or 10-inch frying pan over medium heat.

Angle pan and pour enough batter on one side to thinly and evenly cover the pan. Very quickly swirl the batter around to cover the pan in one thin layer.

Immediately use your cooking spatula to push down the thin edges of the crepe around the perimeter.

After about 1 minute (and once it is golden brown on the bottom) carefully flip it over without tearing the crepe.

Fry for 1 more minute on the other side (until it is golden brown as well) and then roll up each crepe.
