Elijah is 6

Oh my goodness my little boy is 6, how can that be. Well he has had a fantastic day. Some Presents before school, sweets for his friends at school, trip to the park to try out his new Avengers Assembles Sky Rocketz (which is surprisingly really good). Then pizza for dinner. Then he got his main present for us and his gift from Sarah and Jared. Ours was an X-Box which we got a really good deal on eBay and Sarah and Jared's was the lego Avengers game. This resulted in one very excited little boy.

But this was just the beginning. He also got a complete child size golf set, a Star Wars bed spread, Star Wars toys and a lot of money for a 6 year old little boy. His bed spread is reversible, heroes on one side and villains on the other. As he was going to bed I asked him which side he wanted on. He said he wanted the heroes as he was so happy. Phoebe said she wouldn't be happy if her birthday was over. To which he replied

"How could I be sad. I've had a great day and got all these amazing presents and I had the best cake ever". Oh man do I love this little boy.

Easter weekend

Sarah and Jared moved about 4 weeks ago to a beautiful house in a village just outside Huntingdon. So we headed over for the long weekend and had a fantastic time. We got there Friday afternoon and had a pretty late night as Sarah and I went food shopping and didn't get back till about 8.30, got to love those sister chats when there are no kids around. So we didn't eat till gone 9pm. Luckily the kids were to busy play to be worried about that.
Saturday Sarah and I set up an egg hunt for them to do in the garden. In the afternoon we went for a walk to a local reservoir which was huge and had stunning views.
Sunday Sarah was ill so she stayed home and we all walked off to church which is at the end of their road. It's a very big ward in a very tiny chapel, but everyone was very welcoming. All my kids went into their primary lessons and I was really happy that Elijah was happy to go into his class on his own. But I could have burst with pride when his teacher came to find me to tell me what a star he was and she would quite happily have 6 of him.
The kids spent Monday morning playing as spence and I got everything ready to go home. There were lots of tears in the car on the way home. I checked with Sarah when I got home if her kids were ok but as she said "Their Quesne" lol. We popped into Costco for dinner on the way home and it was a lovely end to a really fun and lovely weekend.

Alyssa is 3

Oh my goodness where has the time gone my baby is 3 years old. I have such mixed feelings about this at the moment but I am just so happy at the blessing she is to our family. She has brought a smile to my face every day that she has been on this earth. She has gorgeous hair that just falls in ringlets and always has a smile on her face. She loves Mickey Mouse clubhouse and peppa pig. Her nickname is bossy pants and she has this whole house wrapped round her little finger. She is at the age where I wish I could just freeze her in time and keep her like this forever. She is adorable and our family would not be complete with out her. I love this little girl.
