I Heart Faces Photo Challenge ~ In The Distance ~ Photo Challenge

Joining in this month with...

This was taken on our holidays last summer.

Now we are looking forward to this summer's fun :D

Iheartfaces Photo Challenge ~ "Play"

I'm entering iheartfaces photo challenge this month.

I don't enter these so often these days, but how could I resist with a theme like 'play'!

I had about a gazillion pictures to choose from ~ with 8 children MOST of my pictures have some kind of play theme!

In the end this one won out ~ I just love the way the three of them are lost in their game  with Daddy, and are having so much fun :D

Why not join in ... the prize is excellent this month!

Is It Spring Yet?

For one day last week

the sun came out...

He Still Brings Me Flowers...

I think it's wonderful ...

that after almost 18 years of marriage,

Paul still thinks to bring me flowers home sometimes :D

Also Bugs brought home this gorgeous little Brownie from his girlfriend's Nan's loft.

I think I am in love!

Just a shame it'll cost sooo much to get what's needed to take some snaps with it :(

Shop Till You Drop...

10 days ago Paul's parents were visiting.

Mum & I took the girls out on a long-awaited shopping trip.

They had money in their pockets

and it was burning a hole.

We shop, shop, shopped!

Even I got some new shoes (I have super-wide feet and I don't do shoes!).

I didn't take my Nikon, but it didn't mean I had to miss out on capturing our day.

Sometime phonography is enough :D

A Little Bit of Our New Year

At New Year, Paul's brother and nephew came to stay.

We don't see them very often, but B and Taz are similar age and they always have fun together.

Last time they came was about 18 months ago ~ time goes TOO fast ~ and we went cycling in the forest.

This time our van was/is in need of some repairs and so, as we're using my Nan's little tiny fiesta...

we had to keep local.

Everyone agreed that bowling would be fun for us all.

So, we booked two lanes, 

and a table at Pizza Hut

(that pretty young lady, is Bug's girlfriend ~ A) 

Of course Pizza always needs to be washed down with a bowl of Ice-Cream soup!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our New Year celebrations!

I hope you had lots of fun too :D

Join us TODAY ~ and show us a little slice of YOUR life...

over at COMMUNUALGLOBAL.

And as of Feb 1st the team over there are going to step up the pace again, and we will be posting EVERYDAY, 

so why not bookmark us and make us a daily habit ~ us and your morning cuppa :D
