I love when my sister sends me picture messages of my beautiful nephews. These are the last 2 she sent me of the loves of my life! I need to plan their scrapbooks. Jellybean’s scrapbook needs major updating and I need to start the baby’s book. I have a lot of planning to do. Oy!

My younger sister gave us another little prince. It’s so much fun cuddling with this little bundle of joy. I love both my nephews with all my heart and soul. I’m looking forward to taking pictures of this lil guy. My older nephew treats me like I am the paparazzi. When he sees a camera in my hand, he runs! I followed him around with 2 cameras at Chuck E Cheese friday afternoon. Photos from that fun afternoon to come.

My nephew is growing up so fast. Here is a recent picture of us. I call him Jellybean and he calls me Coco. I’ve never known a love like this. He is our world and brings happiness to our family. We are truly blessed.

I started a scrapbook for my cousin and his new wife. They had the cutest ‘Save The Date’ cards. I was inspired by this card. When I decided to start the book off with this page, I remembered I had this delicious paper. This is one of my 1st layouts. I had to scan in for my book. I cannot wait to see them and show them what I made for them with all my love.

mom had some really ripe bananas and we decided to make some banana nut muffins. We put on grandma’s old aprons and whipped up a batch. It was really nice cooking muffins with my mom like when I was a kid.

while the muffins were baking up, I thumbed through my new cookbook. It is a reproduction of the 1953 BHG Junior Cook book. EXACT replica. I think I found what I will be collecting next, vintage children’s cookbooks. I have the one from my childhood. It’s a great start.

The muffins turned out moist and the pecans are delicious. The recipe was missing a lil cinnamon though. It was the simplest recipe we could find online with the ingredients we had on hand. Next time we’ll add some secret ingredients.
