Hey Everyone Lily here…
August started with a quick trip up to Brisbane to meet the twins for the fist time…We left Harry and Joe with Ma and Pa, which they thought was great and it gave them a chance to play with the new train set that Ma bought.. Trains.jpg
Mum, Dad and Me all jumped on the first Virgin blue fight we could get and headed north.. Olly and Sienna were really cool and it was not be the smallest for a change..
lily and sienna.jpg
While Olly preferred to hang out with cool uncle Bill
Olly.jpg
Sienna preferred cuddles with Aunty Sheena
sienna.jpg
We spent the weekend and gave Uncle Bob and Aunty Lons a break and Mum found out what it would be like to have triplets…all kids.jpg but as they say all good things must come to an end and we had to eventually head home… they were sad to see us go but Olly was the one that summed up how they all really felt…
olly no.jpg
The following weekend we had a visit from Aunty Susie… We love when aunty susie comes to visit.. She plays with us.. reads us books and even better. Lets us all sleep with her..
susie.jpg
Mum also decided it was time to get some action photos of the boys.. so she hunted us all outside to the swings and the tramp and she grabbed the camera..
harry.jpgjoe.jpgboys.jpg
I told mum that I would prefer an indoor location for my photo shoot as I had something a few new poses I wanted to try…
lily.jpg and she was really thrilled when I got out of hair and make up and they had managed to get a clip in my long locks!!!.. (to keep the hair out of my eyes)
Clip.jpg
Joe also started to show signs that it might be time to start the toilet training thing…
mum walked down the hallway trying to find him and instead of finding Joe she came across this scene…
joe toilet.jpg
Obviously the dolly needed to do a wee and Joe was showing her how and where she could do it..If only he would apply the same principals to himself!!!
The month ended with a visit to the model show with Mum and Pa and the boys went all out with some spiderman facepainting…
spiderman.jpg
and last but no least mum tried to get a group shot of us all on the tramp…

WHAT HAPPENED IN MAY !!!

FILED IN General No Comments

G’Day Everyone..
Well we have no excuses except to say.. Sorry to all our loyal readers… we have been very very slack..
In saying that we are now going to make an effort to get back on track and do a bit of a recount of what we have been up to month by month..

So here goes May…
it was time for joe to move to a big boys bed…
IMG_0891.jpg
so we decked him out with a cool monkey doona… like a duck to water.. the transition was no problem at all and in now time at all he felt quite comfortable to just spread out and enjoy all the room..
IMG_0916.jpg

While Joe was busy learning how to climb up the back screen door..
IMG_0914.jpg
Harry got busy breaking windows with cricket bats…
IMG_0895.jpg
Harry and Dad went out for a fish..
IMG_0904.jpgIMG_0909.jpgIMG_0902.jpg

and while the boys played busy in the park.. Mum and Lily hug out enjoying the winter sun
IMG_0913.jpg

The day before mothers day we all headed off for a nice long walk.. which nearly ended with us calling the police as we lost Joe in the bushland for about 10 minutes…Little darling decided to wonder off and go exploring near the old weir and I can tell you I never want to have that feeling again..

Mum got a beautiful Boxing bag for mothers day…
IMG_0924.jpg
apparently I asked for it somewhere along the way..

lily started to love getting on her belly and really started to show us that beautiful smile
DSC_8738.jpg

The boys new hobby was to dress up’s and indoor play as the cold weather hit and the rain just kept on coming..
DSC_8876.jpgDSC_8880.jpgIMG_1007.jpgIMG_1008.jpgIMG_1010.jpgIMG_0931.jpgIMG_1094.jpg

Mid May we headed off to the Gold Coast for the annual kearsey weekend away..
The boys were very keen to get on the airplane
IMG_0943.jpg
while lily did what she does best… Slept the day away
IMG_0946.jpg
IMG_0949.jpg
We had a great weekend at the beach and in the pool and was great to catch up with everyone..
IMG_0999.jpg

Mum also tried to take some kids photos… and it is a massive task to try and get 3 kids to look at the camera all at once… but we managed to come up with this good shot
DSC_8867.jpg

Lily continued to be the perfect child and instead of winging when she was tired… she just went to sleep.. IMG_1006.jpg

Lily turned 4mths old 4mths.jpg

and we finished the month with a outing the the PBR Brendan Clark invitational… That the rodeo for those of you who don’t know..
It have Dad the chance to wear his wranglers, Thomas cook boots and white cowboys hat and not feel out of place..

Man it was a huge day and night..
We Sunday morning we woke to not only have the easter bunny arrive but Molly and Daisy arrived as well for the wedding…
But for now let talk Choccie !!!
The bunny as usual was very generous and left heaps.!!!easter bunny.jpg
we all got choccie bunnies and we also got heaps of big eggs and little eggs and that was before we had the easter egg hunt outside..
While I was making sure that no one got more then me..
harry chocc.jpg
Joe had already opened his and was into them
joe choc.jpgjoe chocc.jpg
so i thought i had better get cracking…
harry choc.jpg

It wasn’t long after that, that Molly and Daisy arrived and then mum had to go and get ready for the wedding… so it was all happening!!!…
they day passed pretty quick and before i knew it, it was 2pm and I was all dressed and ready to go.
I must say… I was quite dashing in Blue

Lily looked like a little baby doll in her dress
DSC_8351.jpg
but Joe stole the show… not cause he was cute or anything but because he was way overdressed in Black Tie !!!!
DSC_8398.jpg

Well we got all the boring stuff out of the way like the ceremony and photos and all that stuff and it wasn’t long before the good times were a rolling and I was hitting the dance floor with my girl Daisy
DSC_8432.jpgDSC_8436.jpgDSC_8437.jpg
meanwhile Bub was wearing less and cruising around just making a statement, He and Rab were inseparable all night…
DSC_8547.jpg

I did make time to check in with Bubba to see how things were going for him, he said it was all good but people kept trying to talk to him when all he wanted to do was eat… so I told him to chow on down and I would keep them occupied
DSC_8532.jpg

The night rolled on and the early afternoon turned to night and the night did eventually turn to morning… and it was a very good night… the only thing that was left to do after such a massive day was to crash!!! and we all did !!!

NEWCASTLE SHOW

FILED IN General No Comments

G’day everyone Joe here….

Well Harry, Lily and I have a few posts to do to catch up so I said I would go first and tell you all about the Newcastle Show…

Well the show came to town a few months ago now… I know we are bloody slack but it’s been like cyclone down here with so much going on….
So we all headed off to the show and we dragged Ma and Pa along as well… First stop was the baby animals…
How interesting are those little suckers… we seen little pigs and chickens and horses but the coolest thing was when we could go into the yards with them and have a play..
Harry and I got right in there and had a pet of a baby goat…
petting goat.jpg
the lily has come bounding from no where and just jumped clean on the back of it…
lily goat.jpg
was very cool… even caught the attention of some tourists who started taking photos of her on it…

From there we headed to get some dinner… Ma and Dad went off to find some food while Mum fed lily…
By this time Aunty Jod had met up with us and we were suppose to be sitting and waiting but Harry and I had other ideas….
we decided it was wrestle time with Pa…
joe dad.jpgharry dad.jpg

After some hot chips, chicken chippies and drinks etc we headed to side show alley…
Harry was in his element all he wanted to do was feed the clowns…
harry clowns.jpg
they tried to get me to have a go but i wasn’t having a bar of it… they are such a rip off !!!
joe clowns.jpg
we then moved onto catching ducks
harry ducks.jpg
again Harry was just throwing his money away… I decided i would just save mine up for a better show bag…Meanwhile Harry was back on the clowns again…
harry more clowns.jpg
It was getting on a bit so we headed indoors to check out the show bags etc and then on the way out I suggested we should get ourselves an icecream… . So Harry and I kicked Lily out of the pram and we got in exhausted…

all in all it was a great night out…

One Window Down

FILED IN General No Comments

Hey Everyone Harry here… Well I have been told that If I ever do something wrong if I own up to it then the punishment will be less then if I was to try and hide it..
Well… I have a confession to make… Now let me just put this out there to start with…
The Window got in MY way.. window 2.jpgback window.jpg

Now I was playing outside (which they tell you is good for your health), I happen to be swinging my cricket bat around and the window come out of no where and hit the end of my bat.. it made this massive smashing sound and for a second I thought i might be able to pin it on Joe as he was standing right next to me… But instinct took over and I bailed… Like a little rabbit I was out of there and as far away from the crime scene as possible…. Until… Mum called me… then I figured I had better go fess up…

anyway it’s water under the bridge now… Dad has boarded up the window like an old shanti house and it’s all good again…

20:2talking with joe.jpgharry lily 1:3.jpg
we have also had a heap of visitors which has been really cool…
The first was John, Rochelle and Noah, Scotty, Addie and James… They travelled all the way from Sydney for the day and it was the first time that we had all got together for a long time..
while all the Dad’s were checking out Dad’s array of sporting activities in the back yard.. all the Mum’s compared baby stories…

later that morning we all headed to the beach for the day… Joe was quite content just playing in the sand at his own pace… you just can’t rush that boy
joe sand 28:2.jpg
Dad snapped his board

and more importantly.. Help her eat her cake… the boys made pigs of themselves!!!

Mum also got real game one day and took us all to the park by herself… I was in the sling.. Joe in the pram.. Harry walked and Izzy on the lead.. Must of looked a treat for anyone driving past…
The boys reckon the park is great and they had a great time.. I just hung out with Mum and had a feed while the boys got busy…

Mum has also got a bit creative this month and tried to take some good pics of us all.. she only ever gets us to put the best ones on but she doesn’t show you the 15 others she had to take to get the 1 good one and she also doesn’t show some of the more funny ones..

Lily 1 Month Old

FILED IN General 1 Comment

Hey Everyone Lily here.. Well I am already a month old and although off to a slow start am growing at a rate of knots now!!!…
lily.jpg
Now lets see.. what have I been up to in the last month.. well I have been hanging out with Harry and Joe
boysme.jpg
kids.jpgkids1.jpg
and as you can see they have been competing for my attention so it has been important to spend a little one on one time with them as well..
So lets start with the Big brother of them all.. Harry… As predicted he is the gentle one and often just sits beside me stroking my hair or giving me kisses… He is also always up late so gets some good late night cuddles… harryme.jpgmumharryme.jpg
note the silly look on his face… He is saying “cheese” what a clown…
Joe once again as predicted has been a devilish soul..
joeme2.jpg
He is the one you have to watch and it is worth sleeping with one eye open as you never know when he is approaching
joeme1.jpg
and when I am sitting on the bouncer he is always lurking around…
joeme.jpg
He got a smack the other day as he was standing on the end of it jumping up and down while i was laying on it…
Other then that.. Mum has been really busy “pinking” up my room… and also trying out girly things like ribbons in my hair..
ribbon.jpg
and It has also occurred to Mum that she was not getting out of the house unless we updated the pram..
This is what we roll in now…
oduble pram.jpg
Other then that I have been Sleeping

and sleeping

and when we go out of the house.. I also like to sleep..
sleeping4.jpg

so as you can see it’s been a busy month and I have mostly slept it all away!!!..
The coming months should be a little more interesting!!!..
