Happy Birthday Lulu!

So our little Lucy turned 3 yesterday - craziness!
We had a great day celebrating her and I'm not sure what gift she was most excited about - her Dora bike helmet or a bag of Jelly Belly beans...tough call!

This cake was about 70% icing - but she was in heaven!

The bump


To quote Babycenter.com: Right now you're about 26 weeks pregnant and your baby is as long as an English hothouse cucumber.

They like to get specific with their veggies I guess.....

The Post-Dinner Munchies

Mum: "If you girls are still hungry I have left-over sweet potato"

Bella: "Mum, if you're still hungry I have left-over garbage".

Christmas in July

So, what to do in Redding when its 100+ degrees outside you ask?
Why, go Christmas Caroling of course!

Yeehaw!




Just wanted to share some photos from our first Rodeo experience (yes, it was back in May, but who's keeping track?).
We went with our dear friend Becky, who is a minor celeb in the Redding Rodeo scene, and she got us free front row seats for all the swash-buckling action. The girls had a wow of time (not sure if it was the carnival food or the horses, but they were excited from start to finish). The highlight was definitely the 'trick riders' - all girls who managed to make flipping over horses & standing up on them while tearing around the stadium look super easy, and grinning like Chesire cats the whole time to boot!
It was a true redneck experience, but tonnes of fun. We'll be there next year Becky - with spurs on!

My Mother's Day presents...



Love it!
Apparently their original choices were Macaroni & Cheese and Cotton Candy, and Joe tells me it took a LOT of convincing and presenting of other options to get them to change their minds!
