Back again

Ok. These photos are SO random - I downloaded all the photos i have taken on my phone in the last, Um, month or so. So bare with me... yeah?

Ok, first one (these are in no particular order ok) My beautiful little bubba Riley. This one was taken in his room last break.


Random? Yes - this was a bogger at work. I took this while having a smoke last swing. I thought to myself "self, i might take a photo of this bogger, for no particular reason". So i did.



Ok, this one was taken a month or so ago. Ben and i went to the golfie and i only just got my new phone that day. So the occasion needed a self portrait. Noice.



I am such a tourist - this one was taken a while ago from Sydney airport. I was sitting in the plane waiting to take off. Again, the moment needed a photo ok.



This one was taken on my drive home last break. I got just out of Narromine and there was about 2,000 head of cattle 'having a feed' on the side of the road. Isnt that illegal?? If i wasnt in my pussy little carolla i would have went cow tipping LOL.



Yeah, a close up of the cows and my dirty dash. You didnt notice until i told you eh?



Here is my big baby boy again. I was such a proud mumma - this one definately needed a photo. The big boy can drink a popper without spilling a drop or squeezing it. Only a mother will appreciate my elation with this one. Oh, the gorgeous dimples he gets while sucking on the straw was photo-worthy as well.



Lewis was drawing/colouring me pictures. Monsters are the only thing in is artist vocabulary at the moment. Arghhh... is that scary mum? Yeah dude, I am scared. LOL. He has started writing heaps as well and writes letters to me. Am i a proud mumma or what?



I got the boys a teddy each last time i was home. I got home and gave them a present and ben said "where did you buy them" and I said "the airport" and we just laughed together. Sad i know, but they were the Steve Irwin brand... so soft and cuddly - OK OK I had one when i was little and i slept with the little tiger. Jen/Mum, do you remember the little tiger i had? Mum - is it still at your house? Anyway, the boys liked them, as you can see Riley is having a bit of a cuddle.



Here is Lewis riding the Rhino statue at the Dubbo zoo - he liked it ok!



Here is my very enthusiastic child. Lewis knows how to P-A-R-T-Y.



Riley loves wearing sunnies. Well, safety glasses of Ben's lol. He is such a crack up. Every time you put them on his face he says "Heeeeeeeyyyyyy". The same heeeeyyyyy that we got at 3 o'clock the other morning. LOL



Good morning Lewis.



The boys wont get out of my bed!!!! Any tips on that one Mum?



Heeeeeyyyyy check out the new hair cut. I went to work the other week, came home to 2 kids with bowl cuts! Well Ben's 'short back and sides' cut. They both looked so cute. Especially when Riley has his 'dexter' do.



Well thats it ladies and gents. Please tune in next month for more pictures LOL.

I had a funny story that i told Mum the other day on the phone and she said "Jes, you should blog that" I just sort of laughed - cause MUM....... LOL.

I remember.

Lewis was asking me about wishing stars. Ok, i will do it in dialoug (spelling) so you keep up.

Lewis: Mum are wishing stars real?
Mum: Of course they are real. Sometimes your wishes will come true and sometimes they dont.
Lewis: Oh (sad face)
Mum: Why baby, what do you wish for?
Lewis: I wish we had more food!
Mum: WHAT??? Dont we have enough food?
Lewis: Not as much as everyone else.
Mum: *speachless*
Lewis: *devistated look on his face - verging on tears*
Mum: Who, who has more food than us?
Lewis: um
Mum: You went with Dad and shopped yesterday
Lewis: um
Mum: You could have got whatever you wanted
Lewis: I know
Mum: WHO ELSE HAVE YOU TOLD???
Lewis: No one, why?
Mum: *Thinking* Great - DOCS will be knocking at my door tomorrow because Lewis has probably told his whole school that we have no food in the house and he is skinny as it is. Oh my god - I am a bad mother - have we got enough food in the house? Yeah, we do.
Lewis: Still devvo'd
Mum: Lewis, what do you want? Get your shoes on, we are going shopping.

Love and gorgeous kids,
Jes

Back at Work Again...

Hi there!
Got back to work at half past three today - quick flight up, which was good.
I got into Perth at half past three yesterday, did some shopping and went to my hotel and slept until 8 this morning - over 12 hours sleep... NOICE!!!

I went to an awsome mall this morning and got a manicure and pedicure - even NOICER!!! I love doing girly things sometimes - ok, all the time.

I went to a hair salon (which i rang while i was at home) and got sized up for hair extensions. Some would say waste of money, but i think that i have always hated my thin (5 year old) hair that i can never do anything with, so i will be getting them put in when i fly home after this swing. I am excited!!!! I know nice hair wont make me beautiful - but it is a start! I will definately post before and after photos for you when i get them done.

So i am pedicured, manicured, well slept and raring to go!!!

Love and beautiful locks,
Jes

In the land of Urquhart

Hello there!
Sorry for not updating much lately - no excuses... but I will try harder, promise!
Nothing much going on in my world at the moment. I am at home with my beautiful boys and heading back to work in 3 sleeps. I will spend Sunday night in Perth and head out to Nifty at midday - so it wont ruin my whole week if i accidentally sleep in.
Work was so busy last swing and i am expecting it to be even busier when i return. Time goes nice and quick when it is busier anyway.
Riley is asleep at the moment, Lewis is at school and Ben is working. I really should shut my eyes for a minute or twenty, but i have some housework i want to get done while Riley is asleep. Ben and i went out last night and i am a very sick girl this morning. We went to Copper's for dinner then went to the RSL & Golf clubs. Lewis was nearly late for school and i am so hungry now. I am rambling... sorry.
I have taken some photos of the kids with my phone, but my cord is in my room at work, so when i get back to work i will download them and post them. I took the kids to Dubbo on Tuesday and we went to the zoo. The zoo was ok, but a bit of a pain getting in and out of the car every 5 minutes. The kids enjoyed themselves and loved all the animals. Riley enjoyed not being strapped into his car seat (10km speed limit around the zoo) and because we were stopping every 5 minutes i let him loose in the car. He enjoyed that.
We went to Big W and headed straight for the toy section. The kids got a heap of things (spoilt rotten). Then we went to the car wash, got Ben pizzas, got some fuel and left Dubbo. Got home at about 6pm -big day, but i really needed it. I feel a million bucks spending a hassle free day with the kids. They were perfect from the time we left until the time we got home. They were both asleep early, so overall had a wonderful day.
Thats about it from the Urquhart world. I promise i will put some photos on soon.
Love and beautiful baby boys,
Jes
