A whole heap of random photos from Feb/Mar 2011

Hailey and Ben love joining Shane when he is practising. Ben has a trumpet which he is getting really good at making a sound through and Hailey plays the violin. Kids and mud....they just love it.
Shane sometimes takes Hailey for a quiet spin around the local carpark on the bike. Ben is scared of the bike so we just watch. Hailey is not scared of anything!
Hailey and Ben spend alot of time in the backyard and their favourite thing to do is ride their balance bikes down the hill. They get up quite a bit of speed!!

This is the vege garden in January.


And some of its bountiful produce.
But now I have let it go over Autumn/Winter as it is too hard tending it while pregnant so the animals have loved fossicking through it.


Hailey loves the monkey bars she got for Christmas and can now go back and forth on them.

This is the reason we got her the bars. She has become quite the little monkey and is always swinging and climbing on everything.


Do all boys eat like this?? Ben's preferred method of eating is to shovel large quantities of food into his mouth at a time.

We enjoy going to an indoor play centre called Little Creatures. There are divided sections with lots of different things to do. Its perfect for a rainy day!

Pirate boy!

Ben loves to know how things work so regularly has the bike upside down working out how everything moves and why.

Hailey started ballet lessons this term and she loves them. She particularly loves the ballet outfit and comes home every week showing us all the lovely moves she learns.

Here is poor old Terra after his little operation to make him half the man he was. He is such a good dog but I thought that with a baby on the way, it will be far easier to not have to keep separating the dogs when Isla is in season. Sorry Terra : (
Ummmm, this is what happens when you have an older sister to play with. We are trying to discourage it but they have so much fun together.


Hailey loves the animals and is always patting, caring for and feeding them. They all love her too.


Hailey is always drawing and she is getting so good at it and coming up with lots of masterpieces.


One day we saw a fire truck parked on the side of the road so we pulled over to show the kids. The firemen were such lovely, friendly people and showed Hailey and Ben all through the truck and even let them have a go at the big hose!!


I celebrated my 35th birthday on the 7th March. It started with the best ever breakfast in bed and we all had a great day together then Shane and I went to a very nice restaurant overlooking Albert Park lake.

Quite often while making dinner, I will find Hailey reading to Ben. Its so nice. She loves telling stories and he adores listening to them.


Ben had a pretty major haircut and for the first time he sat in the big chair and didnt move for the whole time.

We went to the beach one Sunday morning and it was beautiful. We all had such a nice time wading in the water, collecting shells and building sandcastles.


Shane buried Hailey in the sand which she loved.
