The Garden

Well this is the garden, we have done more work to it since this photo was taken but this shows the generl idea. I wish we had a before photo, this place was a jungle. If you stood at the back wall you wouldn't have been able to be seen from the front as there were soooooo many weeds. We have had alot of help from the Young Men in allos (Thanks soo much guys) James has also spent alot of hours working away at it. Well the kids love it. They enjoy the "bouncy a leen" as they call it, and very very soon the grass. We laid turf and its just coming up to the point that we can cut it and start to play on it!!

Let the fun times begin.

I love my daddy !

There are times in our home when mummy is just not good enough! I think that both my girls can be daddies girls. There are also times though that they become mummies girls, meaning when they have hurt themselves or are upset . This is definatly a daddies moment!!

Mummy and Daughter time.

There's always times that I like to spend some one on one time with my children.

Rebekah has this time a few times a week as joels sleep and liahonas at nursery.

Joel has times when we have amazing heart felt hugs late on an evening while he has a late bottle.

But liahona doesn't seem to have this opportunity very often. Above is one of those times that we have lately to have some mummy daughter time. I took her to a cafe, she now thinks that going to a cafe is the best thing in the world. We had a nice hot chocolate each and shared a cake. It was only for a few minutes, but we both really enjoyed the peaceful and special time together.

Life in the slow lane.

Sometimes I think that my life is full of hassel, and that it is always busy, but in the last few weeks I've come to the realisation that its anything but! Yes I have the children all day , which does make my days busy. But the days can be made up of whatever we want to do that day. Lazying around, colouring in, do I dare say tv, the park, shopping and just whatever takes are fancy. I'm so glad that I have this time with my children while they are young. We just loved the nice weather all throughout April. The girls got very used to being out at parks and having outdoor fun again.

I don't think I could swap the time I have with my family for more money by having me work. There would be some many priceless moments that would be missed.

I won't lie and say that every moment of every day is full of smiles and laughter, some days are just hard work from morning to night. But within those days there is always happiness, a reason for me to continue. The smiles , laughs, hugs, a shared toy, a loving hug between siblings, reading a book together , learning new things , singing songs over and over!

I just love my days in lifes slow lane!

Afternoon Tea

As Rebekah has stopped napping we have been having fun together while Liahona is at nursery. So far this week we have done the weeks shopping. Not that shopping is much fun for Rebekah, but its loads of fun for me, only having two kids instead of three. Normally there's a fight over who gets to sit in the trolley. Then when the trolley gets full who ever is sitting in the basket had to walk. Which really means run about and drive me mad.

Anyway back to fun. We have also been to the park twice. Which I can't decide if rebekah enjoyed or not. She is so used to having other kids around her she seems at a lost of what to do. One time another girl about liahona's age came. Do rebekah just followed her about and played/storked her.

We have picked a lot of flowers. Whenever rebekah sees flowers she wants so pick all of them. Yesterday I had to tell her to leave some because other little girls might like to pick them.

Well today we walked to Asda. Rebekah picked flowers and had a nice long walk. I couldn't believe she walked all the way home! Anyway, after the shopping we had a treat of afternoon tea, a huge chocolate cake and a nice cold drink. I think rebekah and me are going to enjoy are few hours together. Oh Joel is with us as well, but he is happy watching the world go by and the hugs and flowers that rebekah gives him.

3 in a bed

The girls love their baby brother so much they even wanted in his cot this morning. Ever since he came home from being born they have loved him. Sometimes they show it abit too affectionately! Rebekah loves to "share" his toys, Liahona loves to hug (strangle) him whenever she gets the chance. But they are both amazing big sisters, who can make him laugh easier than anyone else.
