havin a drink with me mate

Sarah and Jason Kay came over for tea with their baby Ashton last Friday night. Nick has been interviewing some people for his thesis on sea change and risk. Ashton as you can see is a big boy! I remember when Jay said Ashton was about one and a half kilos heavier than Scarlett. I said "no way!" but when I picked him up boy was he right! These pics are soooo cute. Ashton was a bit stroppy that evening so Scarlett didn't get a good play with her friend. One of her other boy friends Laughlan was giving her kisses at play group on wednesday. I will have to catch it on camera next time!!

big night out

Nick and I finally got to go out together without the mooch last Saturday night. Pud finally had some spare time to babysit. That's my sister if you didn't know who lives with us. We went to Nick's uncles 60th. It was so great to be able to get out and Scarlett usually goes to bed around seven and sleeps right through so we thought there wouldn't be any problems. Well.........not this saturday night! Pud called me and said Scarlett was sreaming and wouldn't go to sleep. Just before the cake we had to run and put the bub to bed. I was so disapointed! Scarlett was so tired when we got home that she just fell asleep in my arms.

You can see how my hair turned out too. Mum put some blonde in my hair when she was up and I kind of had to have it fixed up!!!!

sick baby

Scarlett has had a cold the poor little thing. Her nose was blocked and she wasn't breathing well at night. We were able to borrow a vapouriser which really helped......Thanks Michelle!!

ALMOST

A few weeks back I caught Scarlett experimenting getting up on her knees in the cot. Ever since she has been getting up and rocking. Soon..... you know what!!

YUM! YUM!

HOLIDAYS

This is Scarlett watching me and Julia play soccer! Snug as a bug!! I think she looks like a red tele tubby!

A few weeks ago Esther came up and stayed with us in the school holidays. I have been working Thursdays teaching grade 8 in a Special Education Unit so lucky Aunty Ess got to look after Scarlett for the whole day. Here are some of the things they got up to. Scarlett loves her aunties! Grandma and Grandpa also came up for the weekend to see the Mooch. Ess got her purple belt in Brazilian Ju Jitzu (not sure whether that is spelt right!) while she was here and Anker got his the week later.

MOTHERS DAY

Caught on camera!

Scarlett loves flying!

Brothers!

Nanny Osbaldiston with the grandchildren

I know I'm a little behind in my updates, but I wanted to share these. I've almost caught up! On mothers day we went for a picnic to a dam. Cant remember the name. It was a beautiful day and we managed to take some great shots of everyone. Can you pick which child belongs to who? Scarlett has a little cousin Elina who is two months younger than her. Ava is Scarletts big cousin. Its taken Ava a while to warm up to Scarlett!!

PINK

This is a cute little bonds suit that Lynnie Parsons gave Scarlett. She managed to get a wear before it got cold!

SOCCER

Nick, Julia and I play soccer for a team called Fireside United. There are 6 girls teams in our Div 4. Most of the team have not played before but with training once a week we are improving heaps. It's a fun way to get fit. Man do you have to run!! Julia has got about 5 goals this year. We started of losing and now with wins under our belt we have moved from last place up to thrid last on the ladder. Yay! Nick and Scarlett come and support us girls every Saturday.....yeah we're not too impressed with the colours, but unfortunately the club have had these colours for ever and we can't change them. Julia and I suggested changing to a red with a touch of white.......Pink and Black stripes?? The answer was NO!

I can sit!

Scarlett now sits up all by herself with the occasional tumble. This is a picture of her when she started trying. It was taken about a month or so ago.

EASTER

We spent Easter in Hobart. Scarlett was really excited to see her granny and pa. It was fun catching up with friends and family. We also got to do a little day tripping. We visited the Gorge in Launceston, went to Dover via Carlton Beach and visited the Botanical Gardens. We had so much fun we didnt want to say goodbye. Scarlett got to try out her new beanie and jacket!
