Ashtons first day of BIG school

Today was such an exciting day for us, our first child was hitting the big world! I was so glad Neil was able to take the morning off to share this experience with us. Naturally as soon as I got the chance I became the paparazzi...

Once we got to school Ashton started to rethink his choice of hat, He had choosen to buy the "Indiana Jones style" hat rather than the Base Ball Cap. He looked in the playground and nobody had their hat on, the bell hadn't gone.. no teachers.. who wears a hat! Neil reassured him that it was fine not to wear it if he didn't want to... buy the end of the day he had ripped the string off it and we haven't heard any more complaints since... we'll see how long it takes before he asks us to buy him the cap!

How cute does he look!

As for me I was tough I didn't cry.. much! he he Well at least I stopped crying before any other parents and children arrived! It was pretty overwhelming but I was ok... again grateful Neil was there... My Rock!

Emma started on the same day. They are in rooms next door to each other, so they get to see each other every now and then during class time.

They look so cute! Emma looks like a midget! he he


When we were escorted to our rooms we were thrilled to Meet Ashton's 'Male' teacher.

When Ashton saw him he turned to me and said,

"Oh cool his a man! You can go now mum, he will help me if I need something!"

How cute and how sad he doesn't need me anymore... well at least till we get home again...

mum... mum... mum... Gotta Love it!

I am so grateful for my brave little.. I mean Big boy! We look forward to many more exciting school days to come... Logan has already asked when she can buy a uniform!

NOOO! Not yet, Not my princess!!

One last hug with daddy before we go... and Noah gives Ash a few pats on the back.

Love My boys!

7 Years Today

Wow today is our anniversary. We have been married for 7years now and oh boy it has just flown by! I really wanted to blog today and recognise this special day.

I am so grateful for Neil in my life. He is such a hard working person. He loves the lord so much and always gives his 100% to serve him. He is such a lovely husband and a great father. I am grateful for the blessings we have had. Our 3 beautiful children have brought us so much joy!

Today also Neil attended his last class for his Law degree.. He still has a few exams but I cant believe after so long his studies are over and and he is enjoying his profession. I am thrilled with the new adventures come. I look forward to the coming years together... I love you babe!

Many people, mainly my mum complain that they haven't seen our wedding photos... I have scanned some I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed reminiscing!

For my Boy

Dearest Baby Noah,

You have been such a joy in our family. Let me tell you a bit about what you have been upto... From day one you have been a placid. You used to sleep so much!

Now you do still love a little noni, but waking up at night and pulling mummies hair and scratching daddies face seems like much more fun than sleep!

You produce the cutest smiles, you always cheer me up when I'm feeling down.
You love our crazy noisy home.. always bouncing up and down, cheering your siblings on as they race around destroying the house with mummy in hot pursuit.

When you wake up in the morning Logan is the first to run to you singing you songs and giving you toys to suck on. She loves to play mums and babies... so i often find you wrapped in blankets with logan fussing over you!

Ashton loves to teach you things he brings you toys, and reads you books. He trys to teach you words, so far your means of communicating has been a fake rough cough.. and when someone responds coughing back, you are thrilled bouncing up and down coughing.

Ashton says "Noah and I will be palientologist together and go on adventures finding dinosaurs!... but he has to stop drinking mum-mums first!"

The Other day as your daddy came through the door, home from work ,you looked up and said "Dadda dadda..." You sure know how to make your daddy Melt!
He was thrilled with his clever boy.

You don't really like mushed food you love to be able to hold it and throw it if the need arises. You are Mr independent always trying to do things on your own.

Even if at most of the time, you have no idea!

You are now sitting so confidently and when I turn around you are in a different spot. Not crawling yet but one heck of a wriggler.

Tinkerbell is your good friend she loves to snuggle up to you.

She doesn't mind when you pull her hair or her tail as long as she gets a little scratch.

You love talking to the little boy in the mirror, he is as cute as you are!

My favourite one of your gestures, is the pat on the back you give me every time i give you a cuddle. So friendly, so cute!

I am so grateful to have you in our life.
You make us so happy...

I love you Little Noah!
