October Get Away

Last October Bridger and I were lucky enough to have a little weekend escape just the two of us. We headed to the southern highlands of New South Wales, such a beautiful area! We kayaked and hiked in kangaroo valley, we went antique shopping, took in the views at the Illawarra sky walk, so beautiful, and also had some amazing food in the really cute town of Berrima.  Unfortunately I forgot to bring the camera, so I was only able to take a few photos with our Ipad.

This is the bed and breakfast we stayed at

The last few pictures were taken at the Illawarra sky walk

We had such a great weekend together!   It was so nice to get a couple days together just the two of us.

Aquarium Date

Before I start talking about Forest and my aquarium date I want to post these cute photos of the boys before school one morning.  

All three boys are rocking their new hair cuts.

So...last Wednesday when Westly was at preschool I picked Forest up early for a little day out.

We met up with Bridger for Lunch then walked down Darling Harbour to the Aquarium.

 (this is a picture of Darling Harbour with Forest doing a silly pose) 

We had such a great time at the aquarium just the two of us!

In this picture Forest is "swimming" with the penguins

Our favorite area, the stingray tank.

These are my favorite fish, what a crazy looking animal!

Forest is again showing off his great swimming moves.

 Forest is such a fun kid!  I love all his hilarious quotes and crazy dance moves.  I am really glad we got to spend a little time together just the two of us!

24 again

My Dad is turning 24 again this year.  

Happy Birthday Dad!  

You are the best Dad a girl could ask for.

First Day of School

 Both boys had their first day of school a little over a month ago.

Forest started Kindergarten at Coogee Public School and Westly started preschool at Maroubra Early Learning Center.  

We absolutely love both schools and teachers and both boys have settled right in.

Here are some pictures of their first day of school.

 I am so proud of both my boys! I am one lucky mom to be blessed with such great kids.

P.s. It should be noted that it took me a good couple weeks to stop tearing up after dropping Forest off at school, it pains me that he is old enough to be in kindergarten.
