Nana & Granddad

At the end of March we were blessed with a very special visit from Steve’s folks from England. They moved back to England, Macclesfield, last year and came back for a nice visit and to meet the littlest, Brody.

It was awesome having them here and we managed to create some awesome memories that will never be forgotten. We spent a few days down at the coast at Zimbali. Jamie had a blast learning to play snap with Nana and having Granddad chase him around on the beach.

The boys had some giggles watching Nana juggle and making Granddad run around the garden fetching the ball for Jamie. (Jamie quickly told Granddad to go fetch the ball when he hit it to the other side of the garden, was a good laugh)

Special memories like these will be treasured forever. Was sad saying goodbye but at least these moments will live with us forever.

Just like YOU

Happy Mothers & Sons Day……..

Can I be just like you boys on Sunday???

Mother’s Day wish list

I love getting great gift ideas and when I recently came across this I knew that this was the exact gift I want for Mother’s Day on Sunday and each and every Mothers Day as long as I get to celebrate them.

What I Want for Mother’s Day

Dear Jamie & Brody

Mother’s Day is coming up, and I thought I should tell you what I want. This way there’s no guilty panic or last minute purchasing of flowers at the closest gas station. So, this is what I want, this year and every year after; it’s pretty simple really.

I want you to be a decent human being.

I want you to be who you are, but don’t be an asshole.

I want you to work hard at everything you do, because life is too short not to give it everything you’ve got.

I want you to ask for help when you need it.

I want you to help others when they need it.

I want you to learn how to cook, do your own laundry, pay your bills and know how to clean a bathroom.

When you screw up, and you will, more than once, I want you to own it, because it’s the screw-ups that make the victories sweeter.

I want you to travel, because the world is huge and you are one part of it.

I want you to know that even when we hate each other, I will never stop loving you.

I want you to play nicely with others.

I want you to feed your curiosity.

I want you to find a way to do what you love, and realize that that might look different than you originally thought.

I want you to respect every human being’s right to be who they are.

I want you to sometimes be more interested in someone else than in yourself.

I want you to know that you are flawed and you are extraordinary. There is no one else like you.

I want you to know that I would lay down my life for you in Lily Potter fashion any day of the week.

I want you to realize how lucky you are every once in a while even if only for an instant.

I want you to know love, even if it means getting hurt.

I want you to relax and not feel guilty about it.

I want you to know life can be brutally hard sometimes.

I want you to know that you can choose happiness even when the dark side offers you cookies.

And I wouldn’t mind breakfast in bed.

See, simple.

Love you boys so so much

Mom……

Brody starts school

This morning there was an extra school bag at the door because today Brody had his first day at school.

 

With Brody starting school it just makes me realise how quickly he has grown. So with his bags packed we headed off to Everwood Pre Primary to drop 2 boys off this morning. Jamie was a very proud brother telling everyone at the school that this was his brother Brody.

 

So with his first day been & gone all I hope for Brody is that he has fun learning & growing & making new friends.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…”

How I spent my last day of being 28

Today was my last day of being 28 so I did a few things to wish my 28′s goodbye

I think my last day of being 28 was a fab one, so I’m looking forward to the year ahead being 29.

P.S 1 MORE SLEEP YIPPPEEEE

Video diary 2

Its been awhile since my first Video diary post and since that post my phone has been overloaded with videos. But here are 2 that I love.

This one still makes me giggle with laughter. Brody at 7 months decided to play peek-a-boo all by himself, man isn’t he a cutie.

Jamie took a break from soccer and went back last weekend. Looks like the break did him good as he was a real star and enjoyed being back. And he even listened to coach

Boys in Babiators
