Family Ride

Today we took the boys for a ride down along the river at Burswood. It was such a lovely morning. I managed to ride 7.5 kms which is a pretty reasonable effort for my first attempt. However, I was so glad to see the park that we were to stop at - so that Sam and Nic could have a play and something to eat for morning tea.. ha ha ha..LOL It will be interesting to see how my legs will feel later on this arvo..


This was Nic's first time on the back of my bike. I was a bit worried that i wasn't going to be able to last the distance with him on the back but we managed!!




Check out Sam in the background - chucking a wobbly...LOL..



This is a gorgeous photo of Nic - look at his little curls.. AWWwwwwwwww!




Earlier in the week I took the boys for a swim at Deb's house. Here is a gorgeous photo of Sam and Kaleb having a great time swimming in the pool.



Adam was away all week in Broome for work and arrived home Friday night .... Mum and dad and Liz and Derek left for a 10 day holiday to Phuket and Bangkok on Friday as well, which makes me very jealous.. They will have a fabulous time i just know it!
A pretty busy week for us this week, I am working a couple of days.. and
It is also Adam's birthday on Tuesday - God knows what else i am going to get him??
haven't done any scrapping since last weekend, but might do some this arvo!

Happy Anniversary

I just wanted to wish Adam "Happy Anniversary"... ( Not that he reads my blog anyway...LOL)
Today we celebrate 7 years. He is the most amazing man, husband and daddy ever!
I love you now and always xxx

Here is a layout i did today using this photo. I actually tried a new technique today, taught to me by the marvellous Sharon
She will often print photos straight onto white card stock and it looks really cool. I also used PINK....LOL I very rarely scrap using Pink...

My favourite photo

It must be the first time ever, that i think i have got a photo of both boys smiling and looking at the camera at the same time. Today Adam was able to get a photo of the boys together, in the new little car that mum bought for Nic for his birthday. They look so happy together, I think it is just the cutest...



I also did some more scrapping today.. i decided it was more about quantity rather than quality, and funnily enough i was pretty impressed with the 2 layouts that i did.. - Not bad Hey!!!
This is a photo of Nic taken on the Day of his christening back in October.. He looks very cheeky!!
The second layout is one of Sam when he was about 5 days old. Adam was holding him on his lap and next minute we noticed that he had linked his fingers all by himself and this photo was the result, pretty cute.. It also reminds me how jaundiced Sam was after he was born..

My first layout for the year

Well here is my first layout for the year. It is using some of the DT pack that Sonya gave me from Tomorrows Memories.

I am off to the beach today with Mum and the boys. Kate and Brendan are coming with us as well and Aunty Cath is hoping to come as well. So it should be a great morning!!

Can you Believe..

Can you believe that my gorgeous Nic turns One tomorrow...


This year has gone by so quickly and he has grown up right before our eyes. He is such a beautiful natured child, who is very laid back and easy in any situation.. You will very rarely here Nic crying or whinging, he is always happy to go off and play and explore on his own. He loves to toddle down to Sam's room and you will often find him, sitting and playing with Sam's toys ( mostly in his mouth..LOL..)
I am really looking forward to sharing his first birthday with our families at a Picnic on Sunday!!

Christmas has Been and Gone...

THANK GOD FATHER CHRISTMAS ONLY COMES ONCE A YEAR - I'M EXHAUSTED...
Well it has been an amazing week of Christmas Celebrations which all began on Sunday the 21st with our Family Christmas party at Kings Park.. My dad has a fairly big Family and it is such fun to get together with all our cousins.. The picnic had lots of fun games for the kids ( and adults...LOl) to partake in... The first was a Treasure hunt of Christmas baubles...
As you can see Sam found quite a few, and received a lolly snake for his finds..

Then it was onto the egg and Spoon race with the Christmas baubles.. Sam and I did pretty well..ha ha ha



Aunty Cath then organised some running races for the little ones.. Nic was so cute he was off and racing!!
His little cousin Kadien, who is nearly walking... Just sat on the ground and laughed while clapping his hands... It was priceless to watch


Dad and I then had a crack at the 3 legged race, and we were winning until our tinsel broke...Bugger ( we def. think it was sabotage...ha ha ha LOL...)

It was such a great day.. Can't wait for next year... Thank you so much to Aunty Cath for organising this years Picnic.. Here are some more photos from the day..


CHRISTMAS DAY
Christmas day started with the present opening, which Sam was totally into this year, he opened his and all of Nic's presents as well.. Luckily Nic was more interested in the paper..


We then went over the Mum and Dad's house for lunch. Mum had done such an amazing job



It was really special to spend Nic's first Christmas together..
I just love this photo of Mum and I..


Matt and Brett were so good and spent most of the day playing with the boys.. Poor Maggie was sick all day and Renee spent the day with her family.
Mum had made some Yummy Champagne cocktails with strawberries...
Lunch was just sensational.. Mum cooked some awesome food
There was a lot more prezzie opening and the boys were spoilt rotten..


Then after lunch it was outside to blow bubbles with uncle Brett -



It was a great day, and one of the best parts was when we were leaving mum's at 9.30pm that night Sam was still awake and we were able to drive around and show him some of the houses with Christmas lights.. He was very excited.

Our Christmas celebrations continued on Saturday 27th with a Picnic at Matilda Bay with Mum's side of the family. Sam once again had great fun swimming in the river and wouldn't get out of the water.. i don't have any photos from the picnic because it was just way to hard following Nic and Sam around at the same time...

SUNDAY 28TH
Yesterday we finished our Christmas celebrations with Lunch at our House with all of Adam's Family. Once again it was another great day. I must say though, it is very stressful, organising Chrissy lunch for everyone.. especially when you want to make it really nice..
The Boys and Brendan got lots of great gifts from their aunties and uncles

How cute is this photo of Brendan sittng in his new trolley -
I made everyone where Christmas hats - which they were too impressed with...ha ha ha
This is a gorgeous photo of Adam's brother and sister, Claire and Damon..
I cooked so much food, that i am sure Adam and i will be eating the left overs for the next few days..
After lunch the boys went outside for a swim..
Brendan was not too sure about all the splashing.. It then turned into a great water fight between Adam and claire..
It was such a lovely day and everyone was very spoilt with great Secret Santa Gifts, lots of drinking and many laughs..
SO THAT'S IT..... What an amazing week!
