The long weekend in Kalbarri

My cousin Rochelle and her oldest son Austin + Noah and I went to Kalbarri for the long weekend to help my cousin Haylee celebrate her 30th birthday. We arrived in Kalbarri Friday night and returned home Monday afternoon which made it a very quick trip. It was a fun weekend with plenty of laughing.

Austy and Jye at Auskick

Sienna

Just had to include this one. Quite possibly the most awful photo ever taken of Noah!

Happy birthday Haylee

mmmm pressie time. Haylee scored some beautiful Pandora jewellery from her family.

Noah feeding the pelicans

We went down the foreshore Sunday morning to watch the competitors cross the finish line in the canoe race. 17km paddle down the river in a canoe...not my idea of fun.

A day with Dad

Yesterday Richard looked after Noah while I went to Northam. I asked Richard to take photos of everything they did as I find it really funny what men choose to do with their children or (more so) what they choose not to do!!! Seems they had a fun day. Here are some photos of the days activities (activities being Richard's word).

A necklace made before 8am

Only a Dad would think to put finger puppets on top of other animals to create totally new animals including "meep" and "zebears"

Getting new sand for the sand pit

He was a great helper

Finally there is enough sand in the sand pit to do some serious excavating

We both think Noah looks like a Japanese tourist in these photos

End of the day and the hair is tied up in a piggy tail. This was Mummy's doing. Guess who wants a girl next?????

Noah + Sadie

awww holding hands

yum yum yum

The night rider

sweet

My Aunty Julie just sent this photo through to me tonight. It was taken a while ago when she looked after Noah for me. Apparently he was so tired that he fell asleep on the couch while talking to Uncle Phillip. I thought it was pretty cute.

HBF run for a reason + Noah chokes

Last Sunday Mum and I took part in the HBF fun run. We did the 14km walk around Perth city. We met up with Roger's sister Jenny and we walked with her. These photos were taken in the Graham Farmer Tunnel. I guess it was pretty cool to walk through the tunnel but if I had to do it again I think I would try to do the 4.5km course and run so I could get it over and done with quicker.

Roger looked after Noah for me while I did the walk and apparently he nearly choked on a bit of plastic from the end of a toy drill. Noah is forever putting this particular toy in his mouth and turning it on. Roger said he told Noah not to do it but Noah, being the nearly two year old that he is, continued to do it. Next thing a bit came off in his mouth and was stuck in his throat. Roger said Noah was gagging and before he knew it he could see the plastic bit sliding down Noah's throat. Noah then vomited all over Nanna Dee's mat (poor Roger had to clean it up). The plastic bit was not in the vomit and I have not seen it in any of his nappies yet either. I forgot to tell Nanna Margaret to look out for it in his dirty nappies today. Luckily Noah is OK. I feel sorry for Roger that Noah gave him such a fright. In a way I am glad that I wasn't there because I imagine watching a child choke would be terrifying. I think I owe Roger a beer or two!!!

"And an old rocking chair"

Noah and I went bargain hunting (don't die of shock Mum) last time we were in Perth. We went through all those little second hand stores in Guilford and we found the sweetest little cane rocking chair. It probably could do with a coat of paint but Noah loves it all the same.

Teddy Bears Picnic

Today Noah and I went to a Teddy Bears Picnic at Kellerberrin Playgroup. It was pretty cute watching the kids play or "lack of play" when it was their turn in games. Noah decided that he wanted to take Little Ted to the picnic......Noah still loves his Play School!!!

Thanks Aunty Brooke xoxo

Last Tuesday a package arrived for Noah all the way from Kununurra. Brooke had sent Noah some of the most beautiful books I have ever seen along with two gorgeous singlets. Thanks so much Brooke we love all of it. Did you make the singlets?

Happy Birthday Nanna Margaret

Richard, Noah, Margaret & John

Tonight Noah worked out how to blow out a candle which was pretty cute

Richard trying out his new farm weighing equipment. He was looking around saying "what else can I test it out on?" and then he spotted Noah. We all wanted to see how much Noah weighed so............

Richard hooked him up by the loop on the back of his jeans and let him dangle for a while.......

13.72 kgs. What a big boy!!!

A melt down

Every Tuesday Noah goes to his Nanna Margaret's house while I go to work. Noah has decided that he no longer needs to have a day sleep while he is at Nanna's house. Because Noah's Nanna is so nice to him and she caters to his every demand Noah does not have to have a sleep. When we got home Noah was a total nightmare. He is so good for her all day and then when he sees me he loses the plot. I am however happy to put up with the bad behaviour on Tuesday nights because I know that he has had a wonderful time at his Nanna's house.

This photo was taken just before Noah totally lost the plot. I had to put his paddling pool, cups & saucers, tooth brush and a pair of his shoes in the shower just so he would hop in. Talk about demanding!!

Noah crawling off dripping wet. I had to include this photo because I think it is the cutest little tushi ever.

I am not afraid anymore

Noah has overcome his fear of dinosaurs. This happened a few Sundays ago when his cousins were over. Noah saw Austin and Jasper playing with the dinosaur so I guess he thought that he should be playing with it too.
