Our first family of four mini holiday!

Over the Mothers Day weekend, we decided to get away for a few days - our first holiday as a family of four.

We headed to my sister's holiday house at Ventnor, Phillip Island.  Basically we just swapped our everyday beachside living for another beach!

It was what was needed for all of us, a chance to escape the everyday ground hog stuff.  The washing, ironing, cleaning etc etc.  A time for us to spend together, just the four of us, relaxing, laughing, playing with not a care in the world. Apart from us all being or getting sick!  But, we still had a great time.

The little boys bonded even more, if that is at all possible.  The hand holding, cuddles, whispering of secrets in the ears, our two little men are such great mates already.

And it looks like Charlie is already hooked on coffee too, he would not take his eyes off my latte glass, check out the photo's.

We came back feeling so refreshed.  Three nights away in a different surrounding, rejuvenated our bodies and souls (apart from us having colds!)

Can't wait till we can do it all again, might wait for the warmer weather so we can have some more beach time though.

Happy Mothers Day

A big Happy Mothers Day to my beautiful mum.
A woman who drops everything at the drop of a hat for anyone. A woman who is caring, sharing, full of love and lots of laughs.  A woman who loves to flick peoples bra straps and undies.  A woman who gave me the happiest childhood that I could ever ask for.
A mother of four daughters - she deserves a medal for raising all of us!! And putting up with us! A nana to 11 gorgeous grand children - and always the first person to introduce them to the taste of chocolate!
Mum - I can never thank you enough for everything that you do for me and my family, the love you give, your generous heart and soul, just for being YOU!
I love you and hope that you have a wonderful Mothers Day - everyday for you is Mothers Day, all year around, you are my one of a kind, special mum.
Thanks for giving birth to me, nurturing me, letting me be the person that I wanted to be. Your guidance, dirty sense of humour, gentle soul makes me love you every minute of every day.
Happy Mothers Day for Sunday Mum

Beautiful beach day in May

Who would have thought that we would be able to spend some quality time on the beach at the beginning of May?
I took the boys to the beach the other day, could not resist the blue sunny skies and the fact that we were still in shorts and t shirts when it was supposed to be cold and wet!
We are so lucky that we have the beach just at the end of our street.  I loaded up the pram with the kids and some towels and off we went.  I did not expect Cooper to go swimming, I should know him better.............he went in clothes and all.  But I didn't mind, childhood is all about having fun and experiencing everything out there.
