more photos from our trip to Carsington!

These are kind of in a backwards order... ooops! They are taken by Tim's camera that his Dad lent him - Tony are you impressed with Tim's talents?

We had an early start at Carsington, went for a walk with Rosie's trike, then played in the park and on the way home she fell asleep reading her book... another great day...

Enjoy the photos!
























day at the zoo!

We have had yet another few wonderful days this holiday. It seriously is the best holiday we have had together just the three of us at home. I think the warm weather has something to do with it as it has meant we can do lots of fun things. Today we went to Twycross Zoo, was a lot of fun. We took the trike instead of a pushchair which was great, Rosie loved looking at all the animals. She especially liked the giant lizards and the flamingos. When we asked her afterwards which animal she liked the best she said the penguins!



The famous camera smile is still going strong!


Rosie this afternoon enjoying her slide in the garden, she didn't last long though before she wanted to come inside and sit still for a bit, she sat next to me on the sofa for about 20 mins (which is a very long time for Rosie as she never sits still!). I think she was worn out after the zoo!

This was taken a few days ago when we all had banana milkshakes in the garden, like I say we have had fab weather!
This photo was just for you Ant to show you how messy these babies get, our lounge looked like a bomb had hit it, I hope your baby girl is tidier than ours!!
We were in the lounge when suddenly we heard the hoover start up, she had turned it on at the wall and then turned it on and started hoovering... well good we have her trained up so young - it will be easy keeping the carpet clean once baby boy smith arrives as Rosie can be in charge!
Our new fence - do you like? Tim is amazing and did it in a few days! It is so much safer now, I can actually sit on a chair and watch Rosie play rather than following her round all the time worrying she may fall off the side. Brilliant - well done Hubby!

Rosie and Daddy sharing a book, she still loves reading and is talking more and more each day.


We baked rice crispie cakes this week, here is Rosie enjoying one! Lucky little lady or what?
more paddling pool sessions...
I think Einstein is a bit brave getting this close to such a splasher!

well hope you like the photos, tomorrow we are off to Ant's, then we have a midwife appointment, then maybe we'll go to chuckles or the park in the afternoon, Friday we have our Royal Wedding party with the mummy and babies, and this weekend Dave and Vicki are visiting for a night. What fun!!! I LOVE HOLIDAYS!!!!!!

bye xxxx

Perfect Day!

Rosie saying cheers to the perfect day!

So we were up early (as usual!) so got ourselves all sorted and went off to Carsington Water early on with Rosie's trike, we had such a lovely walk before all the crowds arrived. Tim did take loads of photos but his camera won't connect to our laptop which is a nuisance so it may take a while for him to work out how to get the photos of his camera...

I took lots this afternoon though, so... after our walk she played for a while at the park there. Then we came home for lunch in our garden, heavenly in this weather!!!

Then Rosie had a paddling pool session, then just played all afternoon in her garden. She was covered in sun cream don't you worry. Unfortunately we left her really good long backed hat at our friends house (which is about 30 mins drive away) so we're off to find another one tomorrow, we realised we prob should have a spare anyway. Luckily she just about fits in last years hat.

We also walked down to the shop to get an ice cream on her trike mid afternoon before having tea in the garden too, bath then bed! She has been a very very happy girl, and we feel all relaxed too. I love this sunshine! I wish it would stay now till next Autumn.

Enjoy the photos!











I know this one is out of focus (rosie would not stay still for 2 seconds!) but I wanted to show you her new pretty white dress, Rosie's great grandparents Rod and Mem sent some pennies in the post for Rosie for Easter so we put it towards this dress which was in the sale at M&Co. Great shop for great prices!!! I think she looks so angelic in it!
well no other news from me, here's to another beautiful day tomorrow!
