Visit With Tandi and C-dub :)

This past weekend I made a day trip to visit Tandi in Midland. I needed to get a visit in as "C-dub" (Clayton) is getting bigger by the day! He just rounded 3 months old! He is a super happy baby! I found out he doesn't crazy ladies taking pictures though. :) I've included a couple pics and a video proving he is a happy babe.

So serious

A little happier

While there I got to see one of Tandi's places of work, The Aphagia Center. Tandi is a speech language pathologist. She's such an amazing person and has a HUGE heart! She really has a passion for what she does. She is always thinking of others. Her brother-in-law has his jaw wired shut while recovering from surgery and she is always looking for new things for him to eat. We made a blueberry icee kind of thing for him to drink and man! was it good! So good in fact that I came home and made my own for the house. :) It's super easy to make so I thought I'd include it in my post

2 1/2 cups of blueberries

3/4 cup of sugar (I used 1/2 cup with 4 cups of blueberries)

1/4-1/2 cup of water

1 tbs of fresh squeezed lemon juice

Blend blueberries and sugar in food processor until smooth and the strain out the seeds. Use a spoon to help with the straining process. Then add the water and lemon juice and freeze. It is delicious, if you like blueberries. :)

Thanks for letting me crash your Saturday Tan! Love you girl!! :)

Mema's 90th Birthday

My Mema (dad's mom) turned 90 last week. She's a great lady and hilarious! (Funny story: The day after Sach and I got married, we were telling her about it and she said "What'd you go and do that for?" :) She's hysterical!) The Stinnett clan got together to have a little party. My dad is one of 7 kids and 5 were able to be there. Only 2 cousins were missing so it was a good turn out.

Me and Mema (and my sister being "grown-up" :) )

My Mema (Mems as I call her) has played the piano most her life and still can play. Music is an amazing thing! My Mems suffers from Alzheimer's disease and can't remember any of us but if you mention an old song, she can sit at the piano and play it. Although the songs are getting more limited, it's amazing what she can remeber. My dad sat with her and sang while she played to help her out a bit :) All my dad's siblings are musically talented in some way and I'm sure it's all due to my Mems. Her little fingers still love to "stroke the ivory."
