Feb & March 2015

Here are a few pics from Feb & March that I'm a little behind on posting....

....Wish I could go back to this day right now! This pic was taken on my 34th birthday & our 10th wedding anniversary up at Bastion Point where we got married on the 19/02/05. The day & the weather was just as perfect as it had been 10 years earlier <3 Love my bestie x

Trying to get a half decent family pic on the 26/02/15. Wish we'd tried harder now!

Mac's letter from the tooth fairy after he lost his first tooth 

on the 11/02/15 :) He got $2.

One Tuesday night the boys & I heard balloons popping outside, so we stuck our heads out to have a look & discovered my beautiful Beehives trying to sneakily heart attack us, but not having much luck haha...it was cooler that the boys got to see them & know who it was that loved us anyway :)

They felt so super special!!!

....And were over the moon with all their choccy!

Then the very next day we got to have even more fun with Uncle Luke, Aunty Linda, Brons, Larielle & Huddy :)

The big kids (minus Joe lol)

Impossible to get them looking all at once - but cool to see them all in one group x

The big boys & their pretty little photobomber :)

Was clearing out the bookshelf & threw out all Mac's books from year 2 last year, but just had to take a few pics for him to look back on first...

Really 'farts' lol

And last, but not least, Mac got out a recipe book for his library book the week before last so I said he could choose a dessert for us to make for our Family Home Evening refreshments. He chose Blackberry & Chocolate self saucing pudding which he was just a tad excited about! Love that kid x

My boys xoxo

A few weeks ago the boys went to church with matching ties so Stan asked if I could get a few pics of them when we got home....

It was then that I realised that our big boy really does have a talent for cracking out the most beautiful photo smile - an art which our little boy hasn't quite mastered yet haha

Because Spence still doesn't cooperate when he's asked to smile for the camera, the only way to get a nice photo of him is to take the pic while he's just smiling or laughing naturally - hence the reason he's almost never looking at the camera in any of his best photos. In alot of ways I love those shots even more though, cause they really capture the enjoyment of the moment xx

Anyways, I'm so eternally grateful for my 3 handsome boys & that we can be together forever. Some days they can drive me up the wall & around the bend, but my life just wouldn't be the same without them in it & I love them more than any treasure money could ever buy - wouldn't trade them for anything xxx

The out-takes on the iphone lol....it's tough work trying to get good pics!!

Little things...

Here are just a few random pics from the last couple of months that I need to catch up on....

Can never get enough of my babies when they're asleep xxx (too bad the feeling's not always the same when they're awake lol) This was Spence crashed out after we got home from the gym & creche one day. Love the little routine me & this little sidekick have while Mac's at school :)

Icecream treat after me jamming his fingers in the truck door one afternoon :( Oh my gosh, it was so gross & distressing for me (& him of course!!), but since I was the only one at home with him I had to pull myself together & get him up to the White Cross asap....straight after it happened he had a big dent across all of his fingers, but by the time we were seen by the doctor about 15 minutes later, his fingers looked back to normal!! Amazing!! Thank goodness for soft baby bones!

Those poor puppy dog eyes still made me feel like the worst Mum in the world though!

Aunty B & Dallin x (Wonder whether B's gonna be holding a pink or a blue baby in 6 months time??!!)

Dallin all happy & content now that she's with Uncle Pete haha

This little guy in a bit of a jam at the park one afternoon lol

Aunty B to the rescue :)

I love to see the temple, I'm going there someday x 

(Spence & I had this little walk around the temple while we waited for Aunty B & Uncle Pete to finish their visit at Bill & Judes one afternoon (is that the right names B?)

A few more pics from Ella Bella's party...

Next birthday this little dynamite will be in a school uniform! :D 

Watch out Summerland lol 

(p.s I wonder why they called it Summerland? 
Summer feels like such a distant memory right now after two long weeks of wind & rain!)

Awhile ago the boys decided to make a fort so pulled off all the couch cushions & brought out heaps of blankets & pillows from the room... then they changed their minds & decided they wanted to go ride the bikes on the deck, & so off they went. Don't worry about putting anything away guys!! I love to follow you around & tidy up all of your mess :(

Mell & B do you remember this S thingy? I dunno who taught Mac to do it but I had a little laugh when I found it on the bench one day cause I'm pretty sure we did those at some stage too :)

Mac's first ever bedroom door sign which he made on Queen's birthday weekend. I dunno why, but after talking about what that holiday was for on the Monday, he thought it was appropriate to make one of these signs lol

Our very own Stonedine. My master chef was in heaven the day this arrived! Actually I was too cause our old frying pan was rubbish & this is just amazing. Absolutely love it!

So easy to clean & you don't have to use any oil!!

Kiwiyo date with this little guy while Mac was at his end of term disco

Mac's costume for his space themed book week

Selfies with my Spence x

Pyjama day for Mac - last day of term 2

My first ever little love note about me from my big boy. I'm glad he thinks I'm a good mum cause although I'm not as patient as I wish I could be, I do try my best - so hopefully this is the first of many more love notes to come haha....so cool he can write on his own now! Love seeing him learning & growing :)
