Macaroons, baseball and kids

Little Miss Eira getting ready for the cold weather !! Finally some nice weather ;) 

I can NOT tell you how happy my family makes me, so much fun the older they get.  Zeric is just so smart and loves to get out side at any chance he can. 

They have become such good friends. He loves to scare her because she laughs her butt off at him... He also just loves to give Eira hugs and try to show her how to do things. 

With Zeric trying to play with her so much and show her all these new things... she needs to keep up !! So two weeks before she turned 6 months old... She was crawling like a champ and two days after that... pulling herself up on to anything she can reach.  In this picture she is 6 months by a few days, I really thought I would have a few more months before she started trying all of this... But before I know it... she will be a walking fool !

When James and I met... he had no interest in Baseball , In fact, he use to talk smack on it and tell me how cool cricket is... cause they don't use gloves ;) ha ! then I made him watch a few games along with the best movie ever... THE SANDLOT.  This guy can't get enough baseball. He joined a baseball team down here and his teams name is the boomerangs.... it's so much fun. 

Zeric loves to help with almost everything we do. He just loves to get in the kitchen with us and help with breaky and the morning brew. The second I walk into the kitchen, he runs in right behind me saying " need chair here !" as he tries to pull the chair over the where I am. I love that he wants to learn so much

Helping daddy make Mama's drink

Zeric's first German pancakes... They were better then mine ;) I have taught him well ;)

Nan got Zeric some superman cloths and he just loves to fly through the house saving the day....

ANZAC day we drove around Newcastle and stopped at some of James favorite surf spots. We also enjoyed some Macaroons from a local cafe... OH MAN I LOVE MACAROONS ;)

Zeric teaching Eira how to play peek a boo... we really do have it easy with these two kids... They are little champions for sure

At James baseball game... Zeric loved it for the first 20 mins... then he was off run around

He was so funny... he would say "YEEEAAAHHHH!!!" for anyone who hit the ball and caught it... even if it was the wrong team.. I would just laugh and try to explain to him the teams... but he was all for fun of the game.

Little Miss Eira and the second day with a tooth... and still huge smiles.

Cousin Tom playing with Z man after the game

Aunty Chooky also came to see James play, but once Zeric saw her... there was no such thing as a game... only PLAY TIME with Z Man.

We Welcome the Fall with open arms

Zeric watching his morning cartoons and taking care of Eira... I think he is loving the big brother part, he's such a good little boy

He's such a good little kid

time for a morning snack

Over at the Grandparents house for some amazing grub, but before we dig into the most amazing food Eira wants to crawl and Zeric wants to help her and show her.. Sometimes too much help, but it's still cute

Baby girl is growing up into such a cute little munchkin

Noelene made a pork roast for Easter lunch... This is were she added the pears and put it back in the oven for a little extra lovin... such a tease

This is right before we dug into the most amazing pork roast ! mouth watering pork crackling as a little extra flavor treat, home made salad with home grown veggies and the PEARS !!

I forgot to mention the homemade salad dressing and yet another shot of them yummy pears and teeth sinking pork.... mmmm ;)
Thank you Noelene

Little miss Eira with Nan and Gramps

My little boy still melts me every day... this is the face that gets him out of so much trouble

Some Chocolate to welcome the fall weather... mmmm

After lunch we all headed outside to enjoy a little bit of sun, bubbles, baseball, golf and kick ball
Here Zeric is trying to pop all the bubbles Nan blows

Baseball with Dad and so many great pictures to pick from... Zeric calls it baseballs... it works

Zeric with one of his bestest friends Nan

HEY BATTA BATTA BATTA BATTA !!

SAWING BATTA!!

Nan found a nice place in the shade for little miss Eira

Zeric came over to show me the lady bug he found...

Time for Gramps to chase Zeric and the ball.... all you could hear was "BUGGA COME GETS YOU" that means "come get me"

Gramps put the ball in his shirt and this started an all new ball game

The laughter coming out of this kid was way too cute

" Come gets you"

Are you ready ??

The NFL may give us a call in the next few years ;)

These next few pictures just crack me up. Gramps hid the ball on Zeric... in fact it's in Zeric's Shirt behind him.. he has no clue what just happened to him

OH WAIT...?? Here it is.

Why the boys play, Nan and little miss Eira sit under the tree and Enjoy the time together

I think Eira is ready to walk...

Eira and Dad... I love baby snuggles

She likes to fly...

I tried so hard to get Zeric to come take a picture with us... but he wouldn't have it when he had a nice big yard, baseballs, golf golf, bubbles.. Nan and Bugga and even lady bugs. So we were short one family member in this picture, but still a cute one.
