Pancakes..

 

   The girls wanted pancakes this morning and we had no mix so here I am trying to find a DIY mix recipe online.
  Well we did good ,found one at allrecipes.com that was really good , recipe for 8 regular size pancakes.  The pancakes were fluffy and buttery but We did change things a bit though for the girls.
   I added a 1tsp of chia seeds and 1 tsp of flax seeds. We made baby pancakes because they girls like them small and Alyssa added chocolate chips to some of them when they were cooking. I will definitely be saving this recipe in my book.

Baby Shower cake...

    Last week I had another order for the pregnant belly baby shower cake and some cup cakes. It's getting easier to make them now but still have been looking for the perfect way to make the tiny foot. I saw the picture somewhere on pinterest but it had no instructions on it so I have been coming up with my own solutions. Ready for some more baking.

      I also made the baby crib out of fruit.  Sadly I do not have pictures for that one... forgot to take any with my two little girls stuck to me the whole time I was trying to help out at the party . We had a good time though.

     It's going to be a baby boy.....

Topgolf...

    We went to check out  Topgolf a few weeks ago.. Its a new place that opened up here in Houston and it was great.  You get to play golf  from your booth where they have a full set of men's and women's clubs for your use.  The customer service was good as was the food and drinks ( they have a full bar ) but you have to try the wings they were awesome.  There are different types of games you can challenge yourself and friends with and many different targets for different points  to hit.    I kept trying and didn't do terribly bad for my first time.   We also loved it because it was also kid friendly ( they even have some clubs for them) and Alyssa and Manuel had the best time playing.  Madelynn kept trying to get into everything but it was still a very fun lunch date.  Topgolf.com

 

Been away...

It's been a while since I have posted but I do have many things to post that we have been up to... will try to do it soon.

Cardstore.com for all my cards....

 I just ordered our Christmas cards for this year although I had to use 2 pictures on the cards since we have not taken a family picture. Our goal for this month is to take one, time is flying by so fast that I just realized we have not taken one since Mattie was born and now she will be ONE in 2 weeks. 

I now order all my cards from Cardstore.com . It is a great website, the quality of the cards is good and they will address and mailout the cards for you or will address them and send you the envelope with a stamp too at no extra charge. ( you can't beat that)  Love their website.

Waiting in line...

justamommy

We took a picture while we where waiting in line to buy beer.. YES... beer...
 It is a bit of a family tradition now since we  have been going for the last few years now, at first it was just  Manuel and me, but now the girls go too.  We even ended up in the news this time or Manuel and Alyssa did as did  our stroller since we were holding the girls and the beer was in it.

Your probably wondering why?????  well St. Arnolds Brewery  has this limited brew of beer once or twice a year, each time is a different flavor that will never be brewed again. That is what they say and so far they are on #13.
