Looking back at 2014 in May - Fete's and Mothers Day :)

This was another busy month.  The weather was cool, I was using my dehydrator to make lots of goodies and the boys were busy as usual. 

Playing UNO

And making up games.  Gav is pretending he has long blond hair here.

 

Lots of planning also went into the Fete.  It was a bit of a cold day but sunny and beautiful.  The Fete theme was Tropicana.  Grandma and Grandpa came to watch Lochy in the choir.

The boys had time to check out the rides before Lochy sang in the Jr Choir

Lochy was a sweetie in the choir and loves to sing (but not at home!)

After the show we walked around the grounds to see what we could do.  Grandma and Grandpa stayed for a snack then went home. 


Grandma and Grandpa enjoyed themselves

A special treat of cotton candy!

Grandpa's treat for the boys

That cotton candy looked bigger than Lochy

A more healthy option was fresh coconut water!

Ben and I had to try it too!

Then it was time for rides!  HOLD ON Lochy!

Gav had a go it the bumper bubbles. 

 The rest of the Fete was spent with the baby animals.  The boys love baby animals.

Gav loves them all including the fluffy chickens

Lochy tried his hand a cuddling a chicken as well

And he did well, even collecting himself two!

There were guinea pigs as well to cuddle but they were a bit scratchy.

The baby ducks were SO CUTE!

The Fete was a wonderful event and the boys saved up some money so they could enjoy what was on offer.  A great way to teach saving skills!

The next thing was of course Mothers Day and I am not ashamed to say I do love the attention.  I deserve it after all, doing the very best I can to love, support and be there for my family and I love it.

Gav's present from school.  He'd painted the pot and planted the flower.  The red ball he made with red string and glue.  Very clever.  Lochy had a lovely present as well but wasn't captured with a camera.

 We also had my cousin visit.  She is living in NSW and it was wonderful to see her and meet her fiancé.  They are married now so it was doubly special to meet him before the wedding! 
Cricket wasn't their sport but they had a great time playing it with us all the same.  We also kicked the ball around playing soccer as well.  They were awesome with the kids.  I hope we see them again soon.

Some cricket action with some great fielding!

Some lovely photos to capture the visit.

A mothers day celebration including Grandma.

Of course cricket was played.

A bit of tennis thanks Grandma

Everyone gets a turn and Lochy is crazy for cricket

Grandpa was pretty good too

The swings were a bit of a hazard so the pitch was moved.

Santa has come early ?!
