And the award goes to......

Me of course! The "crappiest blogger ever" award is mine. 1 post then an absence of nearly a year.
I'd like to thank my boys for not giving me time to scratch myself and my other half for being lazy. Without them I may have actually had time to update this frequently instead of annually.

Now that the formalities are out of the way, a quick run down......

My baby just turned one and has begun to walk (*sob, sob*). He has been nothing but a joy in our lives even the booby calls at all hours of the night are welcome as I know he won't be a 15 year old wanting a comfort feed at 2am.

Mr 2 and a half has begun to talk a lot more and still loves cuddles from mummy, he has even formed a closer bond with daddy since the baby came along. It's lovely to see, mainly because Ian hasn't had a great deal to do with his father so the father\son bond is extra special.

Mr nearly 4 is still as always a bundle of energy, full of questions that I'm not always sure how to answer and wanting to chat at 9.30pm when I am dozing off.

And as for me, it's my birthday tomorrow. 28 on the 28th. I will officially be in my late 20's, not sure how I feel about that.

A day at the beach.....

We took our beautiful boys out for the day to get out of the house. Living in a small town there wasn't many options for an outing of a Sunday so we packed up the car and took the boys to the coast for the day.


We tend to be a little apprehensive about going anywhere these days as a 3 year old, 19 month old and 9 week-er tend to be quite a lot of work. Ian and I are outnumbered 3 to 2!


It took a while to find a parking spot but eventually we found one and found a quiet, calm bit of the beach and there was a shady spot for Baby Ethan and I to sit in.







Clayton splashed about saying "Look Mummy, I'm swimming at the beach! It's beautiful"

Preston played in the water for a little while before settling in the shade with Ethan and so he could indulge his hair fetish.








All in all it was a lovely day and Ian and I have made the decision to take the boys to the beach every few weekends.
