Happy Birthday Grandad!

It was Grandad Lyons Birthday last Sunday so we all congregated in the mist filled garden for a barbecue?!?

The Aquarium Baby Swing

Does exactly what it says on the tin and Ruby loves it!

Devon Holiday Part 2!

Amongst other things we went to Salcombe, Dartmoor and Totnes for various days out. David and I managed to have a quiet drink whilst Ruby was taken care of by the Grandparents! Ruby also enjoyed bathing in the washing up bowl and falling asleep on the kitchen table!

Our Holiday in Devon!

Ruby enjoyed her first holiday in Devon last week when we drove down to Dartmouth to spend a week in a holiday cottage near the Naval College. We had a lot fun and Ruby had a lot of 'firsts' including a boat trip and trying baby porridge!

Charlies Birthday Party!

Ruby received an invitation to her first social engagement in the form of Charlies Birthday Party! Charlie is now officially 5 years old and celebrated in style at 'Let Off Steam' in Sheringham (kind of like It's a Knockout!). Ruby loved all the noise and colours but wasn't so keen on her party dress getting in the way of some serious play! When it all got too much Uncle Tim was on hand for a big hug!

First Barby of the Year.

May bank holiday officially starts BBQ season & the first one was held at chez o'shea. A real kid fest ensued Ruby, Jack, Charlie, Emily,Oliver,Evie,Zoe,Tim & David. Jack had his police whistle and made sure proceedings followed an orderly fashion. A new drinking game was also discovered. Push the babies round the gardern collecting a glass of wine on each complete lap. The ladies all sat around the kitchen table and set the world to rights. All in all a very enjoyable day was had by all!

Phew what a scorcer!

Last weekend we went to the Norfolk Country Fair at the Showground and the temperatures soared! We swelled the ranks of the green welly brigade but looked a bit out of place without a well trained gundog trotting alongside us! There were lots of country pursuits on display (no fox hunting) but we most enjoyed the falconry well Tim the bird man Oshea did!

Hands up who loves Noo Noo!

For those of you not yet acquainted with the latest baby accessories Noo Noo's are lovely pieces of lambswool fabric with little easy grip sections perfect for little hands and as you can see these little hands don't want to let go! Thank you Aunty Kate and Uncle Simon!

The Cricket Season starts!

Last weekend we all went to watch David play cricket in Lenwade, Ruby spent the entire day sleeping in her pram being admired by passers by! After a while Max could sense things were getting a little dull so got his bum out for the ladies!!!!

Chillin out in the bouncer!

"Winnie the Pooh, winnie the pooh......"

I hate my headband

I thought Ruby looked rather fetching in this cute little headband but then when have Mums ever been trendy!

Everyone loves playing Air Guitar!

Me and my Aunty Kate!

Cuddles!

Easter Weekend!

The Annual Smurf Convention started with a bang.

Rubys Easter Bonnet

Ruby was particularly upset at losing the Easter Bonnet competition.

Easter Weekend!

On Easter Sunday everyone came over for some slap up nosh and lots of wine!
