Our Junior Masterchef Day

We have been watching "Masterchef " for the past few weeks and alicia really really likes it. So i told her we could have a little masterchef day with one of her friends and cousins. So Friday alicia asked havannah over and sophia...our other cousins were still sick.
So we started off by the kids making there own chef hats out of my scrapbook papers.... Then the menu was pigs in blankets and cupcakes with piped icing and sprinkles.
They had a fun afternoon and were so hyper and giggly from all the sugar and food coloring. These Junior Masterchefs just need to learn how to do the dishes now..the kitchen was so so messy.It was a good afternoon and end to the school holidays.

Tyler concentrating on his pipingSome for the cupcake and some for me....nobody wanted the blue icing after tylerSophia went a little crazy on the sprinklesThe minichefs enjoying there masterpeices.

The race

It was a beautiful warm winter day today ...the kids played outside all day and loved it. Alicia being the oldest always seems to be the one with the ideas, so her idea today was to have a race on there bikes down the side of our house . They looked so cute all lined up even if eliza didnt know what was going on. After a few times up and down the strip doing there own thing, alicia said" tyler you can be the winner". "Ready set go when my bell rings" alicia saidEliza was in the lead with her no hands tricksThen it turned into more of a stroll then a race...meanwhile eliza trying to steal whatever tyler had in the back of his bike. The bike riders:Tough Eliza



Bossy but sweet aliciaGoofy and the winner (because his sister said so) TylerLecy said "me and tyler just wore out eliza she just parked her bike and fell asleep on the floor just like that"

scrapbook weekend away

Tylers displaying hands


So my wonderful husband let me go away with my friends for the weekend "KIDFREE" for our now annual scrapbooking weekend away. It was such a nice break and although i only got two hours sleep the whole weekend, i did manage to get 20 pages done. Next year i will try not to stay up all night as it takes two days to recover when i get home. The kids had a great time with just there dad too and they welcomed me home with balloons every where and there giggly little selfs at the door. Hans thanks for being so great and giving me this weekend away love you.oops forgot to rotate that one.

daddys girl

Elizas two favourite things in life are her DAD and her Thumb. When she has her head on his chest sucking her thumb she is the happiest daddys girl ever.

A day at the park

We had a nice family day at a park we had not been to before, it was alot of fun.

The flying fox was the favouritecheeky but cute eliza

Eliza kept herself busy finding her belly buttonhans tried to teach the kids to play frisbee, we are not sure if tyler was trying to be a pitcher, ballerina or play frisbee. He turned around about 2 times before letting go of the frisbee or falling down to the ground, it was pretty funny to watch.It never did quite make it to dad , he got his exercise that day chasing the frisbee.

Tylers 3rd birthday party

Playing parachute games ..that is tyler underneath trying to ge to erikas spot..Oh and then he stacks it again..oh tyler


Tylers food table mostly blue, green and orange including the drink (jungle juice) The ice-cream cone cupcakes were the favourite i think.Tyler watching his dad light the candles, through his telesope even though its the wrong way :)

This face is priceless looking at his daddy when everyone was singing happy birthday to him..he was so happy,

Tyler had his party today, he was the cutest most excited little boy today. He wanted a diego party/cake so this is what we came up with him for him..i think he loved it and felt very special. Except he kept running into girls and getting hurt all day first he bumped into abby and then angel his friend from next door, then he came crying to me and said "i want to go home" i guess he forgot he was home because he had so many of his friends here.
The funniest was when he went and got his water pistol and started squirting everyone and the girls were complaining about him...so i said to tyler" Im sorry i know its your party but you just cant squirt all the girls"..he was not happy. Our tyler bear is turning 3..I dont want him to grow up anymore. We love you tyler ..Happy party day.

The kids said????

The night before Mother's day I told the kids I wanted to start Mother's day early and be nice to mom tonight as well as tomorrow. Tyler very excitedly said, "ya dad I can do that". Alicia looked at me and said, "that is going to be really hard".

Today while talking with Tyler I asked, "Tyler do you have a girlfriend? Ya dad its Ruby. I then asked what about Keziah is she your girlfriend? He then looked at me and said, "No dad" I asked why not and he said, "because dad I don't know where she lives".
