Bye bye baby weight

So I am not quite to goal weight... Actually 1 kg off. But I am feeling very proud of myself for getting rid of those few extra kgs. Now to join a gym and tone up. I know that this is a very selfish post but to feel healthy and fit is such an important thing for me. I am not into being super skinny but def healthy and strong. Dave has actually approved for me to join a gym in the new year!

My very talented niece

My niece competed in her first gymnastics competition just recently. And did incredibly well. She came first in many of the apparatus and over all was champion! Wow what a great result for a girl who has not been doing gymnastics for very long! A natural!

I really must blog a bit more frequently....

So I really should blog at least weekly... this is a big post...
First off the rank... My sister is moving to Brisbane to study next year and came up to visit for a few weeks to 'try' Brisbane. Not sure of her perception of Brisbane after living with a strung out mother and her very small children... but I believe she will return....maybe a student share house will be more to her liking?? Anyway she was a great help and Owen and Flynn love her to bits.... good ol' Auntie Tuls.... Photos proving this love are below...

Now Owen is a big Daddy's boy....just about every afternoon we have to go out onto the front lawn to await the arrival of Dadda...

Running up the street to greet Dadda

Ahhh we are all glad when Dadda gets home!

Something not quite going to plan.... according to Owen

I got Owen a tea set hoping to see some pretend play....but pretty much all he does is tip his 'cup of tea' all over himself and then get incredibly cranky that all his 'tea' is all over the ground.

One of our many bush walks. This time we are in a dry creek bed...

Learning to blow a dandelion thingy

My little gardener who again just wants to water himself

Whales... got to love the Bay area for cool parks!

We found a baby lorrikeet and Dave really wanted to keep it but we ended up giving it to Wildlife Rescue

My parents returned from their month long trip to China... They really loved it...Think they are looking into their next trip...Europe...There goes our inheritance...hey Clayton?

Owen is slowly beginning to like his brother....think he realises he is not going back to where he came from...I will leave you with some cute Flynn pics! He is growing so quickly getting very close to 8 kgs....and he is only 12 weeks...OMG!

Oh and my boys! This was taken at about 5 am one morning...

Just a few happy snaps

 Brothers hanging out

Off on one of our park crawls

Not wanting to miss out on the action...

A good weekend

I have been looking forward to Clare and Cat visiting for ages... Clare is getting married in March and Cat and I are her bridesmaids. Last weekend they flew up to go bridesmaid dress shopping...and we found a fab dress!! ( Don't worry Clare I wont post a photo!) Can't wait for the wedding! We also met up with Nina on Saturday afternoon and caught up over a few vinos!

Clare, Flynn and Cat

Photo update

Messiness of eating, something I really don't deal well with...

I really should supervise better... This is Owen taking over Flynn's play gym thingo

ZZZZzzzzz or are you just tricking?

Owen and his good mate Theo having a long lunch...Owen loves Theo so much... or as Owen says "eeeoooo, eeeeoooo, eeeeeeooooo!"

Weight Watchers and me!

Weight Watchers and I have had a relationship before.... a few years ago I had accidently put on 10kgs and a friend and I joined up and I ended up losing that 10kgs....So I have joined up again to lose that sneaky 10kgs that has hung around after Flynn was born. I pile on the weight when pregnant. I just go mad eating whatever I want, so I guess the 10kgs is not so sneaky. Anyway this is my 4th week of Weight Watchers and I have lost 4 kgs... I like doing WW as it is such a healthy way to lose weight and it really teaches you that you can eat and drink what you want as long as you plan for it.... you don't feel like you miss out.... So hopefully I get to my goal by xmas!

Haha you wouldn't believe it but this is the ONLY photo of me with Flynn and Owen. These 2 kiddos are the reason for that extra lard hanging around....Hopefully by xmas there will be a nice photo...
