Big Girl Food In A Big Girl High Chair!!!

Scarlett has started to eat big girl food. I can't believe how much bigger she looks in her chair!

....and if you don't feed her fast enough, she'll just eat her chair! hehe

Mackenzie turns 3!

Mackenzie has always wanted to "Build A Bear". It's a store in the mall that allows you to pick a stuffed animal and then stuff it and dress it to take home. It's super cute for little girls and she took her friend Gabby too. This was Mackenzie's choice for her birthday party. She also wanted to go to Flying Star (her favorite place to eat) and get a Strawberry cake for her birthday.

Ok, we picked our anmial.s Mackenzie is building a monkey and Gabby is building a Kitty Cat.

Now we get to take it to the nice lady to fill it with stuffing.

"Wow! She even let me stand on the button to fill it with stuffing."

Mackenzie picked out a special red satin heart to stuff her monkey with.

The animals are all nice and soft.

Now we have to clean them!

Time to fill out the Birth Certificates! Mackenzie has named her monkey BoBo and Gabby named her Cat Skitts.

The new additional to our family. Welcome BoBo!

Here is Mackenzie after dressing BoBo for the beach. She has a swimsuit and deck chair!

"I love you BoBo!"

Oh, wait! We need goggles for them too!

Here is Gabby's Mom and Dad.

Oh, this is so much fun! Can we make another one??

All ready to go now! I can carry the bags all by myself!

Shopping is hard work, but my Mommy taught me well!

Cameron's 11th Birthday

Cameron finally reached the ripe old age of 11 this week. So we had some fun on Tuesday to celebrate. Genevieve stayed up late on Tuesday night to make a big plate of cupcakes (with blue and green frosting and footballs and goalpost decorations on them), so Cameron could take them into his class with a load of juice boxes to share with his classmates. He loved them as you can see from his photo below:

He excitedly came home from school and told us all about how he had "Happy Birthday" sang to him 3 times during the day by various different people/groups at school :-)

Once he got home he was dying to open his presents and cards, but had to wait till Mum got home from work. While we were waiting I fired up the grill to get busy preparing his requested birthday dinner......BBQ Bacon Cheeseburgers!

Once Mum finally got home Cam finally got to "attack" his presents. As you can see from the pics below, he loved his gifts (a slip 'n' slide, new water guns, new clothes) and his special card from his Granny in Scotland. Mac also loved being able to share the pressies too......at least until she got too cold!

Cam has also been practising his tricks on the trampoline too......so here is his showreel!

P.S. Genevieve would not forgive me if I didn't post the pic below in which I had a little "faux pas" while toasting the burger buns and came out with the quote:

"Oh no!.....my buns are on fire"

All in all a great wee fun evening and not a single injury....despite a near miss or two

Cupcakes....MMMMMmmmmmmm!

Since it is Cameron's birthday tomorrow, we decided to make cupcakes for all the kids in his class at school.

Mackenzie insisted that she help with the baking. This basically meant licking the frosting of the spatula though!

It's a messy job but somebody has to do it I suppose......nice one Mac.......thanks for the help
