Sick...

So what started out as a normal wednesday at playgroup turned bad. Wednesday afternoon/evening Lakiesha came down sick, vomiting and diarrhea. And today on monday she is a bit better still with an upset tummy but no vomiting so far. Cross your fingers for us. Anyway what started out as 1 sick baby and 2 exhausted parents has turned into 1 unhappy not so well little girl, 1 sick daddy and 1 exhausted mummy. Thankfully I haven't caught the bug so far but I feel a cold coming on so I think I am bound to end up sick anyway. That's all our news we haven't really done much except cleam up spew and poo! We are having lazy days watching movies and trying to get better. Fingers crossed again.

Love, hugs and kisses to you all and here's praying you are all well and don't get sick. xoxo

3 Years...

Yesterday was our 3 year anniversary! There are times when I simply can't believe that we have put up with each other for three years. For the most part, it doesn't even feel like it has been three years. Through it all we've laughed, had fun and brought a beautiful daughter into the world who's going to turn 2 in 5 short months.

The sun is shining but you'd really never know, because it is freezing cold. Though that could just be me. I really can not wait for summer to start, I want to spend time outdoors doing fun stuff like kicking around the footy or just lazing in the sun. When I'm a millionare I am spending half the year in the southern hemisphere and the other half in the northern. That way I get to enjoy summer twice over. Now how's that for wishful thinking huh?

Hugs, kisses and warm wishes to you all xoxo

Hi...

We are doing great, today we finally managed to get Lakiesha to wear shoes without screaming. A hugely major accomplishment for us! And I must admit that I was so happy I could have cried. I can't wait to post a photo of her walking around wearing shoes.

Lately I have been doing plenty of papercrafts (making my own cards) and today I decorated my first paint can.






Mum came to stay with us on wednesday night and Lakiesha was so excited she didn't want to go to bed. David still loves his job and Jason Mazda will take over employing him in the next week or so which is good news for us. The great news is that David has cut down on his smoking and is well on his way to quitting. He is currently down to 3 packets a week which is a huge accomplishment and I am so very, very proud of him for making this change in his life.

That's our latest news and event we'll keep you all posted. Love Hol xoxo

Update...

We are doing well. Keeping busy, having fun together and enjoying everyday. I have been scrapbooking Lakiesha's baby photo's which almost makes we want to have another one. (Almost but not quite) We recieved a lovely photo frame as an engagement present from Aunty Jeanie and Uncle Sandy, Thank you guys so much it meant a lot to us and Thank you also to Nanna and Poppa who sent us a card to say congratulations on our engagement. I promise you that I will write you a letter or call soon.

David is still loving his job and has been told he's getting a pay rise YAY!! We have also concocted a plan to get David to QUIT SMOKING! I have to say he is doing really well I'm very, very proud of him.

Well that's all our news hope you are all well and that you will leave us a message next time you drop by our blog. Love hugs and kisses to you all.

Milestones...

OK so we've mastered crawling, sitting and walking so far and we're onto running. Lakiesha can also blow her own nose, say ta and ta-ta (for goodbye), but Dadda is still the favourite word for my little girl.

Everyday it seems that she conquers something new. She climbs up on to the couch, gets down from the couch, climbs on her toybox and even knows how to get down the back steps all on her own. Most importantly she know how to open the kitchen cupboard doors and she'll bring you the biscuit packet when she's hungry or she'll stand in front of the fridge door yelling. When thirsty she stands in front of the water cooler and yells until you pay attention.

Her latest accomplishment is squealing (yes she know how to do that already!!) and she squeals at you when she doesn't get her way or what she wants and if she feels like it she also hits you and tells you off.

But amongst all the yelling, squealing, hitting and screaming she has quiet time too where she'll just sit quietly and watch one of her favourite movies or be quietly playing with all of her toys. She's grumpy, happy, crazy, tons of fun and the best thing that ever happened to me(other than David) I feel blessed and very lucky to have this little girl in my life, even if she really is Daddy's Little Girl!

A new week...

a new to do list.

There's only one problem it's raining and I really hate winter weather, it's my least favourite part of the year, the funny thing about it though is that I hate the cold, yet I love listening to the rain on our tin roof, it's very calming and peaceful.



Our front yard today.

I am cleaning up the office today, the computer table looks neat, tidy and more organised and as yet I haven't gotten to the sewing table or scrapbook table. (sigh) I am working on a surprise project for Scott and Sherie, secret, secret, I'll reveal photo's of it in a couple of weeks.



My neater office desk.

Ok we're back, custard melties are in the oven as we are all out of biscuits and LJ is hungry. Back again biccy's out of the oven, smell real good too. We're almost recovered from our cold, thankfully. Happy Mother's Day to all of you for yeaterday, I enjoyed the day and last night I stayed up and watched Love Actually on tv, snuggled up on the couch under my doona, a perfect ending to a special day. Leave us a comment and let us know how your mother's day went.

Random thoughts are finished so we will leave you for today. Enjoy what's left of today. Love to you all.



MY GIRL!!!

More Family Photo's

These are some more family photo's that we took yesterday, that I couldn't get to load properly so I'm putting them up today. Love to you all. Holly, Dave and LJ xoxo.
P.S. Leave us a message in the comment box and let us know you were here.

Family Photo's

So I know I already did one post today but this afternoon we had some fun taking photo's all in black and white and a lot of them turned out really nicely so I wanted to share them with you all. well share some of them anyway, though I have to say I don't like photo's of myself in black and white they show up all the freckles I've been trying to forget ever existed. Unfortunately Dave has come down really badly with the flu.

Lakiesha and I are recovering from our cold. Thankfully. Last week David brought me home this little gift and told me I wasn't allowed to open it ever, but that I would understand after I read the poem.




The poem says:

This is a very special gift that you can never see.
The reason it's so special is it's just for you from me.
Whenever you are lonely or ever feeling blue,
You only have to hold this gift and know I think of you.
You never can unwrap it, please leave the ribbon tied.
Jost hold the box close to your heart, it's filled with love inside.

Sweet huh?



I took this picture of Lakiesha yesterday, when Uncle Tony (Donk) and Taylah came to visit us. Uncle Tony finally got his license, YAY!!

Talk to you all soon. Love, hugs and kisses xoxo

TWIN BOYS!!

Hi all, a big CONGRATULATIONS to Scott and Sherie on the birth of your twin sons Thomas and James. We all look forward to meeting them one day, best of luck with parenthood. We are having an ok week, Lakiesha and I have a cold. I have a sore throat and runny nose, bubby has a runny nose and a bad attitude plus she's waking up cold at 2am due to kicking off her blankets at night. David is fine no cold for him luckily, and still enjoying his job. We have been staying home so we don't give anybody else our germs. well that's our news love, hugs and kisses to you all and next time you get on here leave us a message in the comment box. xoxo

Well we were having a good week until last night. Well up until we got LJ ready for a shower but she barely even got in there when she slipped over again (same shower) and has now taken a chunck of skin off of her cheek. OUCH!! On thursday we went to the movies with Aunty Charlene, Aunty Narelle, Dante and Montana and saw Ice Age 2. We highly recommend it as well worth watching. I wouldn't say it's better than the first, but it's just as great. On friday we went over to Innaloo Shopping Centre and had lunch with Grandad, Kerry, Aunty Narelle and the kids, then after that we stopped in and surprised Dave at work. He's been telling me about his new tool box that he got from Snap on of course. It's definately better than the old one because this one is on wheels so he can take it to wherever he is in the workshop. ooops my girl just fell down again. I put the spongebob squarepants movie on for her for the first time yesterday she absolutely loved it, I have to say it's pretty funny. Well we're not up to much this week going to playgroup, tash and ben are coming to visit some time this week and that's all I think so take care all of you and we'll see or talk to you soon. All our Love hol, dave and lj. xoxo
