Point & Shoot: Birthday Wishes

It was my birthday last week and I turned 32.  It seems kind weird to see that number on screen, I really don't feel that number.  I had such a busy day planned on my birthday and it wasn't all fun, in fact it was a lot of driving around lugging kids in and out of the car and following up business issues for my husband.  There was no cuppa in bed, but to my surprise, my hubby came home at 9.30 and spent the day with me and the kids.

Instead of lost of driving around with the kids, I was able to go kid free...yay, i'm sure you all realise how much easier it is to just pop out to pick up a few things without the kidlets. It is amazing!

After completing all my errands, we all headed out for lunch in Subi and to pick up a bargain I got off Gumtree.  Lunch was wonderful, Hubby fed the kids while I sat back and soaked in the suns rays and sucked up a big fat chocolate milkshake!!  We headed back home for the boys to have their afternoon, and i even managed to fit one in for myself - I am not a napper, I actually hate naps - I just don't feel the same when i wake up - I'm not left feeling refreshed, in fact, completely the opposite.  It takes me a good 30min to get withit and wake up.  Its worse than waking up in the morning...haha

I was amazed at how many birthday wishes and messages I received that day, you know I really felt loved.  awwwww.  All my friends and family sure know how to make this girl feel better.  

I am so lucky to have such a great husband that spoils me and writes mushy romantic birthday card messages and am so lucky to have kids that singing "Happy Birthday cake" to me all day.  You Rock Family!!

Although I didn't get to see my mum & dad on my actual birthday, we did make up for it by heading out to lunch at one of my most favourite places in Fremantle - Little Creatures.  It's such a wonderful, relaxed, laid back pub, it even has a large kids sandpit out the back.  The weather wasn't the best for stting outside, but that didn't stop the kids - they had a ball out there.  My folks even took it turns watching the kids so i could enjoy some kid free time with my friends.

Thanks all for a wonderful birthday, turning 32 doesn't seem that bad after all...

Footy and Bike Riding

There is nothing better in this world than spending Sunday morning walking around the local nature reserve with your family.

We took Mitchell's new bike so that he could practice riding outside of the backyard - doing bog laps around the table, chairs, swings and whatever obstacles the kids leave lying around out the back gets old pretty quickly.

This was our Sunday morning in pictures....

After our busy morning at the park, we went home for lunch and to watch the Eagles play GWS.  At least both WA teams had a win this week....yeeehaaawwwwww

Wow...3 already

Can you believe it! I certainly can't.  3 years ago we welcomed you into this world and you have changed our world ever since.

You have become quite the little chatter box over the last few months and you can now officially ride your big boy bike...after just 3 days of practice! Each day you just get faster and faster and better at turning.  To date you have had one stack off your bike.

A few things we have learnt about you in the last three years:
 - you prefer cucumber in slices, not sticks
 - Dump Trucks and Diggers are your most favoured things to watch out for when we are in the car
 - You are still a parrot (you copy anything/anyone, even your little brother)
 - Your favourite colour is Blue (and occasionally green)
 - Peanut butter sandwiches for lunch
 - Chippies are also a favourite on the menu, along with Stir-fry noodles and Curries
 - Watermelon & Strawberry's would have to be your most favourite fruit
 and lets not mention cake...of any sorts...
 - You love talking on the phone now, to Daddy & Nanny especially.
 - On the special occasions we get Maccas, you want to "say it", "Happy meal, cheeseburger & apple juice", quickly followed by "thank-you".
 - Lately you want to push your brother around when he is in the stroller - and you do a pretty good job.
 - Your favourite TV Show is Handy Manny & Dinosaur Train
 - You love to have your back rubbed when going sleep and ask Dad to rub your head every now and then
 - Sometimes you don't like to listen to either of us, it seems to be selective of course!

We love the everyday moments with you that make us smile, you bring lots of love into this family and we love, love, love you!!!
