christmas eve at our place!

this IS great fun after all! (click this one bigger to see rubes face!)



" you guys still there"?



trial run!



rubes thinks" hmmmm ihave just learnt to ride y bike by myself and now im losing the control... what the hang"? zeke thinks " oh no this cant be good, look how closely im strapped to rubes, i cant get away ahhh"!!!



pressie for mum and dad! yay!



little lewis



zeke was fasinated by his new book with spinning stars!



and cute little beach towels!



woohoo, new diggers ALWAYS go down well!

pre xmas

zeke and his birthday bike which he is getting the hang of!



rubes learnt to start himself off on his big bike so that is very exciting. the next day he asked to go back to the park and spent 1.5 hours riding round!!!



the next day, another storm, and this truely was the colour outside! fairly freaky!



our xmas cookies!



hail stones! they facinated rubes!



back lawn, did look worse than this but i was a bit late in getting the pics!



so this is what the hail storm looked like on the BOM radar! woohoo! no wonder our cars got damaged!

lastest stuff and nonsence!

apparently playing in the heat is also tiring work!!!















"you're otay zeke"







all this playing is thirsty work!























today for a change it was not raining so we went to the park! the kids had fun, however it was crazy hot and humid, i think upwards of 30 for maybe the 1st time this summer and so we didnt stay too long! i think next time we may venture to the pool to play rather than the park!



















we have had great fun in the puddles in our backyard, it has been raining sooooooooooo much, we stillhave not been able to get our shed up! i have had ALOT of washing seeing as the boys fall down and get dirty about 3 times a day!

birthdays and whatnot

big brother give zeke a ride



the tower jay and rubes built



little monkey



mmmmmmm apple at the park!










this is how you do it....



opening presents









"happy birthday to you"



the 'big' kids



zeke eating his birthday lunch in splendid isolation!





the elongated monkey cake!because i cheated and bought cakes rather than make them myself and one was supposed to be smaller than the other!



watching mum make the cake!



in the dump truck



fantastic dump truck from nan and grandad!







new ride on from mum and dad on which he can only go backwards!


well the littlest one is now one~! we had a little party for him on saturday, im not sure that he had a clue what was going on but rubes sure had a great time and is having fun with zekes fabulous new presents~
of course its GREAT to have nan here, specially after we all had the tummy bug and not much got done for a number of days! we didnt intend however to give it to her and she spent her birthday throwing up!!!! poor mum! at least we did actually remember it!

walked to the park today for a bit, which was nice, rubes walked nearly the whole way and has consequently slept all afternoon!!!! i even got some scrapbooking done thanks to mums persuading!!!!!
