What Baby Toys?

Baby toys are for baby's not ME - I'm just one of the boys!!!

This is my favourite toy . . . the playstation controller.
Look at my concentration . . .
Won't be long until I realise that I'm not actually playing - the boys have not plugged in my controller.

I'm just one of the boys!!

The Day It Snowed At Our House

Well not quite, but it came close.
We did have a huge storm, with lots of rain, wind and hail - which the boys were convienced was SNOW.


Although it was freezing it didn't stop the boys having a great time playing in the hail.


As you can see Brayden had to stand right in the middle, and then wondered why his hands and feel were numb.


Lachie being a little bit older and a little bit wiser realised pretty quickly just hold cold it was in your hands.





A winter storm may not be as much fun for adults - looking at cars packed in the driveway (visitors), watching for damage to trees and roofs and other items blowing around the yard . . . but it's a whole lot of FUN for kids.

I LOVE it when they play with me!

I love playing Footy with my brothers . . . They of course - have to play by MY Rules . . . which are
1. Let ME get the ball
2. You MUST crawl just like me . . .

3. You can let me think you are going to get the ball . . . but then remember number 1. I MUST get the ball.





But the most important rule is . . .
4. I WIN !!!

Lachie's 1st BMX Competition

On the weekend Lachie attended his first BMX Competition it was held at the Bayside BMX Club.

We had such a busy day that we got there a little late so it meant Lachie got no pratice time on the track. So it made it a little nerve racking to watch him go round the track in his first race, as there were a couple of tricky jumps and one tight corner - but he got round the track with no worries and came 5 out of 6.


He wants to thank Aunty Nat for coming out to watch - THANKS NAT

The second and third race lachie was in the same position each time - coming 5 out of 6 (but still really good for his first competition).


By the last race of the day (4th race) Lachie was a lot more confident going around the track and put in it all to come in at 3rd place.
You can see from this shot (blur in the back ground) that I am starting to get up some speed . . .


And Lachie was sooo happy to recieve his first trophy . . . All the kids got a trophy for the day but this will only happen till he turns 8 then it's only 1,2 and 3 to get the prizes.

Big smiles with my trophy that I'm soo proud of . . .


Yahoo Serious Lives Again

Yahoo Serious Lives Again (if you don't know who he is that means you are too young, or I am too old).

After playing outside whilst dad washed the car (from our rain water tank) mum decided my hair needed some style . . .



Do I pull it off???

If Only I Would Listen To Mum!!

If only I would listen to mum - then I would not be in this sad, sad, situation.

At playgroup I went up on the stage (where I know I should not be),
closed the curtains (again which I know I should not do)
Then started playing rough with Mitchell (again I have been told a thousand times not to do) - and this is the end result . . .



I ended up pushed into the brick wall, scarping my arm.
And being the total drama king I am, cried and cried for about 2 days and then proceeded to show everyone I met my bandaged arm (thanks to Jill the nurse - also Mitchell's mum for my very serious looking bandage - it sure did help in getting sympathy from everyone I met).
Sad, Sad, Brayden.

A Real Winter's Day

Winter's Days are few and far between these days - so we took advantage to brave the cold and see the wind in the trees, which is apparently pretty exciting to a little boy.

Here I am looking at the leaves blowing in the wind . . .
Big smiles as I am having fun

Here's my famous cheeky grin - my dad calls me "Smiley Riley"


Then it's back inside before I catch a cold.
