A couple of days early, but Happy Birthday little boys!

We celebrated Lucas and Sam's birthday a couple of days early because Mitch's party is on Saturday. We started the day off by giving them their birthday presents which included a new bike each! In the morning we went up to the local oval to give them some space to practice.

The some playing and cuddles with Mummy and Daddy

In the afternoon, Ganny and Grandad, Poppy and the cousins came over for some tasty cake.

Then finally off to bed in new matching pyjamas:

A couple of other shots I took during the day as well.

Mitch scores 7 goals

I was a very proud day today as Mitch played a great game, took his turn, passed the ball, cheered on his team mates ... and managed to score 7 goals.

Soccer begins for another season

Mitch started his soccer season today with a gala day for the local club. He then played three short games in the heat. All the kids had fun but were very hot and sweaty at the end. Here are a few action shots of Mitch.

Sam and Lucas had a very cute moment between one of the games and I was able to get a few pictures of the two of them separately and together.

It really was only a moment of cuteness too. I fixed Sam's hat and tried to shoot them again and this is all I got:

Jamie and Phaik come to visit

Uncle Jamie and Auntie Phaik came to visit this afternoon as they continue their relative laden "holiday" in Oz. The boys had a great time tiring them out on the trampoline and playing with them in the backyard. Then it was inside for a bit of book fun before dinner. Here are some photos of the afternoon. You will notice how a crowd builds any time someone sits down to read a story.

Holly with her Uncle and Auntie

Beautiful Holly

It's been a while since I've taken many photos, and on Meeks encouragement I decided to take a few this evening of Holly as she was playing the playroom. She was being very cute as usual. We just love her.

That should keep the grand parents happy :)

First Day of Pre-School

Lucas and Sam had their first day of pre-school today and they were VERY excited. Here are some shots of the two of them.

Apparently the had a fantastic time but were pretty exhausted tonight. They're going Monday and Tuesday to a pre-school down the road
