Cheesy grins

Did I hear someone say 'Cheese!'?

I've been a bit under the weather this weekend...

but I can still manage the grin!

Lollies

Thanks to Uncle Richard and Auntie Jenn for this cool Christmas present.
First you put the fruit in the container...

Then you mash it to a pulp and pour it into lolly moulds...

Then enjoy with friends.

Swim school

I've started taking swimming lessons. First I get my instructions...

...then I do all kinds of weird things!

Painting

Now that the weather is getting nicer it's important to have pretty toes!

One Day...

One day this may me my job but for now I'm happy to watch how it's done.

Retreat

This week we went on another longish car journey

We ended up at a cool place with lots of cool people who work with mummy and daddy. While the adults were in meetings we kids had a blast.

A doh-ey mess

Lots of activities to do.

Helping Eepie out...

Refuelling

Best of all of course was the water. Imagine this pool right outside the door to our bedroom!

Sheer delight!

So confident I was flying solo before long

Egg Hunt no 2.

Off we go again. Those eggs just keep hiding!

I'm not sure about the eggs but I just saw an airplane and that always gets my attention.

Oh look - a chocolate bunny! I'm sure this photo was not at all staged!

Checking out the spoils.

A well earned rest.

Real Eggs!

Thanks to Nanny and Granda for real Cadbury's Eggs - they were a hit!

Lots of chocolate!

Won't last long though...

Happy Easter

I think my Easter treats are going to be popular!

Off on an egg hunt.

Doesn't taste very eggy to me

Maybe Mummy can help

Result! Note our newest Mexico addition - baby Ben.

Why can't our eggs always be this pretty?

And they're off...

Well, perhaps not all of them. Oscar doesn't relish the idea of relinquishing his pretty blue egg to have it smashed to smithereens at the bottom of the hill!

But we are very happy about the Easter Basket packed full of goodies. Thanks to the MacKinnons 'Nana" for all these great gifts.

Tabitha hasn't wanted to watch anything other than her new Madeline DVD since getting it in her basket!

Friends!

We found out this week that our very best friends Maddie, Joshie, Ethan and Amelia only have about a month left in Mexico. Ssshhh, we're not even going to talk about it - we're just going to have the best time together in the coming weeks!

Getting ready for a pool party. Great fun except for the spray foam and the water balloons!

We enjoyed the ice cream though.

A special bond

Just hangin'

Amelia's a big girl - she helps me with my soother/binkie

A picnic on different levels

Oscar enjoys it from the sidelines

Destructor

Arantza gave me all these balls and I have the best time firing them onto the grass for Mummy to pick up.

Picnic

We love to have picnic with the neighbours. This time it was ice cream with lots of sauce!

Dear Tia Margaret and Tia Robin....

...we were up at the seminary the other evening and we thought that in your absence the beds needed a little rearranging. Don't worry though, we left it looking beautiful.

First Steps

So I finally decided this week that it was time to get onto my feet. I'm sure capable of getting around on my knees but walking seems like a risky adventure which appeals to me!
Here I am on Wednesday - the day I really took off.

Park

It may look unsafe but that's half the fun!

Flying solo

In her efforts to hold onto me she may well close over my windpipe!
