{retromummy giveaway}

http://retromummy.blogspot.com/ is having a very generous giveaway on her blog go and check it out!!!

WOW it has been a LONG time :o)

I was just sitting here thinking I might have a look at my blog.... It has seriously been over 6 months since I have even visited my little blog. It brought a huge smile to my face having a look at the photos of the kids.... They have all grown so much.

Lots has been happening in the taylor household. We have designed a house to build, had the approval to build our house from our local shire. Yesterday Salt poured the slab for our shed, which we might just have to live in while we build the house. The shed will go up in the next 2 weeks so that is really exciting as it means I can declutter our house that we have wayyyyy outgrown and put it on the market for sale.

My little business that I started in March has just exploded I cannot believe the response I have gotten from everyone loving my metal framed clutches. It is keeping me really really busy which is great.

Back to the kids they are all going great,

Mia is loving school and seems to be going well. She has gotten soooo tall. She had a great season at soccer and recieved the most consistant trophy which was so well deserved as she always tries her best.

Brie loves preschool and will be going 2 days a week next year which she will love. She has just started writing her name and can also write Sams name. She has her Dancing concert on at the end of the month which will be good.

Sam has just taken a liking to the wiggles. He will watch them for ages..... takes after his sisters they love the wiggles. He is go gorgeous, he is into everything and climb OMG climb. He is not saying much yet but the girls were never quick to talk either. He get his point across so that is the main thing. He loves playing in the sandpit and jumping on the trampoline. I can't believe that is will be 2 in january :o(

We had some photos taken in october of the kids :o) Heidi did a beautiful job.

Well that is about it for now, it has taken me forever to put all the photos in the right spots :o( What is going on with that?

{Just a few random photos from our HOLIDAY}

{Another months fly's byyyyyyy.......}

WOW another month has just flown by. so we have been on holidays, Mia went back to school she is pretty excited about being in year 1. Brie started preschool and she is really enjoying it.

Sam has learn't to climb in a big way and OMG he is into everything. He climbs on the table, into drawers, into the bath, the chairs for the kitchen table, the slide.

Holidays were great, we saw so many new places and some beautiful beautiful tourist attractions. We stayed with the Zagames for a couple of nights and it was just wonderful, Luke and Salt get along great the kids get along great and Briony and I well it is like we have known each other forever. Thanks for having us guys. We then went and stayed with Salts brother and his family it was great to see them all the kids love there big cousins. We really loved Echuka and Ballarat, Apollo Bay was just gorgeous too.

Below are some photos from the last month.... they are not in order at all....

Sam has a thing for climbing into drawers atm.

Brie and Sam cuddled up in the washing basket.

Salt put Sam in the bin, it is a nice clean liner though...

Sam eating his first icecream.

The other morning he was being very quiet..... yep pulled the butter off the bench and put it everywhere :o)

Playing in the lid drawer is so much better than playing with toys!!!

I made these shorts for Sam the other day. So quick to whip up. They look extra comfy too.

Brie trying to do a summy on the tramp. It didn't work.

Mia learn't to do summies the other day she has not stopped since.

Sam climbing up the slide, I am just waiting for him to break his arm or something. I have been laying it down so he doesn't climb on it too much but he just loves sliding down it.

mmmmmm lollypops. He just loves them.

Sam climbs back into the bath all by himself if you can't find him you know where too look.

Mia was washing up the other day and Sam just had to be in on the action..... check out the tippy toes... so cute :o)
