Christmas is Coming!

Christmas Time

 

 

Christmas time is here and we couldn't be more excited! We put our tree up on the weekend and Parker was such a good helper this year! (I must be forgiven for the dishevelled appearence as I worked that morning and it was STINKING hot!)

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

I have also started some gingerbread cookie batches which has been so fun this year with Parker!



 

 

 

 

We are getting very close to a finished product with the kitchen but it has already made the biggest difference to our lives! Ryan and I can cook together again and Parker loves helping in the kitchen too! We have also been working on the backyard trying to make it more kid friendly and getting ready for the trampoline Santa is bringing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My vege patch is going great guns and who knew I had such a green thumb family with anyone from my grandparents to my little sister being able to help!

 

 

And of course there was the beginning for Movember!!!

 

 

 

 

Parker and his little friend next door Rhys are also getting better aquainted-just exicited for him to start walking!

 

Parker has also taken to climbing everything so will give anything a try! And a little clip of Parker being very brave down a very big slide!

 

 

 

 

 

 Ryan's work Christmas Party (bare foot bowls) tricky with a two year old thats for sure!

 

 



 

 

 

We also had a visit to Santa which was very exciting (P got a little shy when we got up close but still wanted to hold his hand ;)

 

 

 

And the very exciting last Wiggles concert before the new members take over. Parker got to say hello to Murray and was so very happy!

 

 

 

And just a few random photos of early christmas presents...

 

 

 

AND lastly our sons first face...Artist!

 

 

 

 

The lead up to Christmas!

 

 

I am so so excited for Christmas. I have already started getting the blow up Santa out and Parker is memorizing the Christmas carols already. I just LOVE it!

 

So we had Parker's 2nd birthday Party at the end of September and just kept it very low key with a little dinner out. He really loved the day though which was so nice to see

 

 

Parker just loves spending time with Grandad and Grandma White

 

 

 

He also got some pretty amazing presents from relatives and friends near and far so thank you everyone!

 

 

Parker also loves kissing his little baby sister lol

 

 

 

 

Then Ryan had 2 weeks off work which was lovely... Well actually it was days and days and days of drilling, sawing, hammering and FLATPACKS... We started the kitchen renovations.

 

 

Our laundry getting demolished

In between all the kitchen fun we thought we should reward Parker for being such a wonderful boy so we went to the circus

And Cockington Green

 

 

and train rides

 

 

And we have started back up with Parker's swimming lessons and he is just so lovely in the water. He is listening to his favourite teacher, Joseph, and paddles, and blows bubbles and kicks...so cute!

 

 

Well fingers crossed i can show you some more improved kitchen pictures soon

September 2012 and Baby Lindsay

Well we are half way and very exited to annouce we are going to have a little girl around the house.

This is her, she has a lovely big mouth and she was very playful. She just loves it when parker Squeezes my tummy and kisses my belly button.

He is also getting used to calling her "baby sister" or has named her "Coco Fifi" ?????? I think we will discuss this further when the time is right!

 

 

She is nice and healthy and I am only just starting to feel pregnant which is nice. The only other adjustment we have needed is Parker now falls alseep for nap time curled up on the bump which is so comfy!

 

This is just a little selfy i took a few days ago but I will try and get a better one soon

 

 

 

Today Bec and I took the kids to Floriade and they had a lovely time. I only got a few snaps but I will get a few more off bec.

 

 

 

And i turned around for 1 second whilst Parker was "smelling" the flowers and this is what happened...

 

 

 

We also managed to get to the Dinosaur Museum which the kids really enjoyed, except for the animated ones that roar very loudly...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So the next pics you can expect are from our upcoming kitchen renovations in Ryan's holiday. So excited!!!!!

And of course Parker is turning 2 in a few days which we are just having a dinner for.

 

Love you all very much
