Hans found a new park

Saturday was such a good FAMILY day , it had been a while since we had a saturday all to ourselves.  We went to Olympic park,  I don't know why it has taken us this long to explore out there.  This park has everything.  Cool play equipment, scooter and bike trails and then best of all the water section.  The kids loved it all day and we did spend quite a while there. So sorry but  this is a long post with lots of pictures, there was just too many good moments i will too easily forget.

Alicia and Hans climbed the big ropes ..almost got to the top. 

Tyler is a good big brother to Eliza they are best mates most of the time, he was trying to    include her by sharing his scooter.

It was so funny to watch the kids in these fountains at first Eliza was scared , but as you can see she soon got over that and got drenched.

Her aim was to push the water back in 

but that just left her looking like this

Well tyler thinks he has alot powers all the time , this time he thought he could cut the water by his karate chops.  

Alicia was happy to ride her scooter through the water and climb to the top of the building again with her dad.

Then the most fun was just running through the middle of it all, after Hans did it.

Then i saw the kids looking so so wet in there clothes and it was getting a little cooler in the afternoon and other parents were looking at us kind of funny.  So it was time to go get warm and go home , but not without playing in the beautiful autumn trees and taking more pics .

Tyler is too cool for for pics i guess

This ones for you Nema "peace" 

Tyler and Daddy's superhero SATURDAY

Tyler had been waiting and waiting for this day to come...everyday that week he would say" When is it superhero saturday how long" . Finally saturday came Tyler has never got dressed and cleaned his teeth so fast then that morning. The day started off with a movie date to see "How to train your dragon" or "hiccups dragon " thats what tyler said .  Anyways he was so excited to wear 3d glasses and came home wearing them still holding his popcorn to show his sisters. I asked Tyler what the movie was about and he said " aar just dragons and stuff  and it wasnt even scary".

Next it was off to Toys r us for Super Hero SATURDAY , where Iron man was going to come and visit.  They made Transformer masks, playdough superheros and paraded around toys r us all dressed up . Then Iron man came and all the kids faces lit up and this is how tyler told me about Iron man : " Some people said Iron man was dressed up ...but he wasnt , it really was the real real one but he didnt have the power in his hands,  cause all the round yellow things on him were protecting his powers but not on his eyes..if there were some on his eyes he couldnt see and you couldnt see his eyes cause his yellow face was covering his eyes". Iron man was so funny and naughty too and he took things and put them behind him and he took kids crowns and put them on his head

            ...but he was everyones friend and it was fun to chase him yeah and i was so so fast chasing him ,  then he was being really silly and

it was so so funny.

  

After superhero time hans and tyler went to lunch and got their hair cut together..Tyler just loves his daddy.

This is how our superhero went to bed Yes undies on his head and a sword next to him...funny kid that tyler.

Grammy annual birthday walk

Every year mum and the family go on a walk usually near the water for her birthday.  This year we went near stanwell tops .  It was a good walk not to far for prego maree to go this year as she has only a few weeks til baby #3 is born.  The weather was great not to hot or cold, the kids did great.

Kate and nath tricked a few of us and told us they saw a shark.....yeah they had us all looking..except for Pabs and Hans. After the walk we went to stanwell tops for a picnic lunch, it was so relaxing the kids played, the adults slept...apart from the responsible ones (like myself) hahaha who had to watcht he kids...jk . 

Alicia ended up pushing sophia back half the way..they were laughing so much. Eliza was chasing cockatoos (in the tree)

 Good walk this year mum we love you. Happy Birthday!

Easter at Grammy and Papas house

Elijan and kate did well. Annie and Sophia were there too, just inisde.
Eliza looked like a little bunny in her pjs and ears.



We went to grammy and Papas for easter dinner.  It was a nice night with the family, there was a unexpected easter egg hunt for the kids that was lots of fun.  Even if it was at night in their pj's.  Maree had  downloaded a few clips off you tube we all watched of Jesus Christ.  Bringing back the real meaning of easter for the family.  It was special to watch the cousins sit all together watching and pointing out different parts of our saviors life and the easter story to each other.  They knew alot more then we all thought. Except elijah....but he doesnt talk yet or walk ...so give him a yr or two he will be with them. 

 Then somehow it ended up to a big gospel discussion with my dad and the son in laws and  next thing we knew there were books coming out of dads gospel library scriptures being looked up on iphones , questions being asked about who gets all dad books when he dies (you know the ones we mean wayne and monique ;). I fell asleep so im not sure what how the discussion ended,anyways it was a great family night and not too much chocolate.....really...ok maybe there was a lot and the kids were all nuts by the end of the night, but still good times...We just missed the wayne and mon and the kids.

Easter at our house

Easter Morning was a early one, the kids woke up to the easter bunny trail of eggs in the Hallway and couldnt wait to come in and tell us.  It was only 6.30 and i really really wanted more sleep, but what kind of parents would we be sending the kids back to bed easter morning. We had early church so it was good to be up, the kids ate oatmeal from there new breakfast sets and we got ready for church...only eating one easter egg and their pez candy (as i found out later from the wrappers on their beds.) The easter bunny learnt from last year, not to leave too much chocolate in the morning.

Well except for Eliza who managed to sneak her basket and more chocolate while we were getting ready.

When we came home from church alicia and Eliza played with there new bubbles while tyler slept.

I t was cute to watch Eliza try to copy Alicia ....she didnt quite get it, then she got bubbles in her eyes and didnt want to play anymore

After Tyler woke up the Easter egg hunt was on...Some were harder to find then others.

Especially this one, the last one.  It was so funny we kept saying "Tyler its going to bite you" and he would jump and then "Alicia its going to hit you on the head.  They couldnt find it, it was so funny....until tyler stood back abit and looked really really hard and found it.

The successful hunters!
