Wedding fever!

We are gettig very excited over here. Tomorrow is the big day! K and I have been talking about it for weeks. Finally, tomorrow we will get to enjoy it!

Tomorrow is the day of the Royal Wedding, where Prince William and Kate Middleton will vow to spend the rest of their lives together. We will be watching history in the making.  The wedding of a true, real life Princess. Does it really get more exciting than that for a 5 year old girl?! (ok, ok and a 29 year old girl ;) )

I'm not sure why I hold such an affinity with this couple, pehaps it is because  I grew up at the same time as Prince William, we were born 1 year apart,,seeing his pictures and watching him attend all of his royal duties.

Maybe it is because he attended the same University as Murray and at the same time. He chose our sweet little corner of the earth to enjoy his simple and most normal years. Drinking in the local pubs, playing sports and just cycling around the streets, wearing jeans and a hoodie. No crown, no robes lol. The community just allowed him to be one of the locals, just another student.

I think it is also because they were best friends,  who fell in love at the same time as I fell in love with my best friend.

Whatever the reason, tomorrow morning we will be hanging some bunting

proudly waving our flags

and enjoying a red, white and blue , royal tea party. The girls will be dressed in their finest and all eyes will be glued to the tv screen, watching, in raptures, for a glimpse of the wedding dress of our beautiful future queen.

Can't wait!!

Virus threat?

I've just had a call from my sister to say that a virus threat popped up while she was viewing my blog. Apparently it said it had something to do with my cutest blog on the block background. I am off on a google hunt and will try to remove this background and hope that helps.

Has anyone else experienced this?? I would hate for my blog to be harming your computers!!

April 13th, 2011.

On April 13th 2010, at 1.31am a very special boy joined our family and I became an Auntie.

We snuggled and loved on that baby boy, wondering who he was going to be.

What would his little personality become?

He is our gorgeous, shy, funny, friendly,happy, grumpy, wild, boy who is always on the look out for the next dose of nonsens and fun!

We love him so much that it hurts!

And we can not believe that he is one!

Didn't this first time Mummy do an amazing job! Look at all of the sweet details.

And of course his super special first Birthday cake.

Made by Auntie Lor Lor.

Birthday banner , painted by us, and little Chloe.

A kids birthday outside!! Doesn't that seem like a good idea! I have two winter(ish) babies. Outdoors is a no go for us, its a shame! This was like doubling the size of Sarah's house!

Happy cousins.

I just can't get enough of kissing that scrumptious face!

But he can run away from me now!

When did my boy become the big one??

Happy Birthday to our beautiful, full of smiles boy.

I can't wait to see what the next year brings! I am sure there will be lots of new adventures.

We love you.

Part 3! Eventually!

Who would have thought that a simple weekend away would take me so long to post about! The problm has been my photos, I wanted to use so many, it was too much for one post.

Ah well it's nearly there :)

On our last day we woke up (super early! thanks K ) and watched a fabulous sunrise"

In the morning we planned to go to the Holy island. Which K thought was called Tony Island. Of course we did not correct her! She is five you know! These little slip ups are few and far between!

To reach "Tony Island" we had to drive over a causeway. This was a terrifying thought for K and I. At one point I thought we may have to cancel as K was so unsure about driving over a special road, that gets coverd by the sea twice a day!!

But we made it, I even managed to drive over a railway crossing for the first time. I did NOT enjoy that! I just closed my eyes and put my foot down! Horrible!

We had a lovely time wandering around the island, popping into the shops and sampling a little mead.

Played on some swings

In what looked like a disused quarry!

Where my husband pushed our girl too high!!

I had visions of her plumetting to the ground, piercing herself on the rocks and boulders that were strewn all over.

Me exagerrate?? Never.

See!! Even the random stranger wants to yell

" she is going too high!!"

Either that or she is turning to see what the maniac is jumping up and down, pointing and shreiking at.

K survived, with her limbs and life intact.

just.

There is a castle on the Island, it is around a mile long walk to get to it.

This is as close as we got. I was soooooo conscious of the time! I was terrified we were going to get caught on that road, with the tide rising around us!

There is a little bus that runs, to the castle,but as far as we could see, we would have had to re mortgage for 4 return tickets.

So, we clicked a couple of photos from a mile away, grabbed a leaflet or two, called it good  and headed back to the car.

After a long and lesiurely lunch we packed up the car. Determined to use every last second, we hit the arcade and beach one more time.

I made the guys pose in the waves, oops! Ended up with super wet feet!

A healthy dose of crazy followed! We pj'd our girl up, let her run off her silly and headed home.

Thanks for an awesome weekend guys, it was perfect xxx
