This Moment #23

This Moment} - A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Mellow March

As we head towards the end of April I guess it’s about time I write March’s Blog entry.  However, this is easier said than done.  BlogSpot has kindly upgraded their interface, meaning the process of updating and writing Blog posts has COMPLETELY changed and it is taking me a while to navigate my way around the new site, I’m sure I will get the hang of things eventually and probably end up loving the changes.  I haven’t checked yet but I don’t think the actual appearance of The Taylor Family Blog has altered however now might be a good time for me to change things up a little, I’m starting to get bored of the green leafy background and the family pictures down the side there could do with a little updating.

Anyway enough of the rambling and let’s get on with things.  March 2012 was a fairly mellow month and hasn’t produced a great deal to write home about.

Bella has a Helping Hand from a Friend Down the Slip and Slide

The month kicked off with Lilly’s 4 Birthday gathering.  As always with Birthday gatherings at these guys place the kids had a complete blast.  There was the all time favourite “Slip and Slide”, Water Balloon fights, Piñata and of course, as always Sarah produced an amazing cake.

Saying Goodbye to Cricket Until Next Summer

Half way through the month we all enjoyed Jacob’s break up bash for cricket.  Yes the summer of cricket has come to an end.  Jacob’s break up bash clashed with Jason’s end of season awards night for his cricket but Jason managed to fit both in and we were all very proud when he brought home the C4 batting trophy for Coorparoo.

Other than that it was just the usual for the Taylors during March.

We had trips to the swimming pool.

We played at Wynnum Waterfront.

We enjoyed rides at Movieworld.

And we made the most of the backyard before summer comes to an end.

It’s a while since I have done an individual update on the kids, so here goes.

Jacob Spends his Hard Earned Pocket Money

Jacob

Jacob continues to enjoy school and is developing some great new friendships.  His favourite pastimes at the moment are drawing and colouring.  He will sit and draw for hours and has a pretty amazing imagination for a 5 year old.

He recently saved his chore/pocket money for 3 months and bought a LEGO set he had been wanting for a while.  It was quite an achievement.

Jacob was rather sick in March and we had a few trips to the hospital with him.  We finally got to the bottom of the problem and tests showed that he had a bowel infection called gardia.  He had some treatment and things seem to have cleared up now.

Bella

Bella has turned out just like her big brother and is a “Talker”,yep just like Jacob she NEVER shuts up. She always has something to say about everything and makes sure her opinion is known. She still loves Dora, she loves to draw, she has discovered the DS, and she LOVE LOVE LOVES going to the swimming pool and would spend all day every day at the play park if she could. She is a complete dare devil and sometimes scares the hell out of me with the things she attempts. I can see many trips to the emergency department with her in the future.

But what Bella Loves most???

Is cups of tea.
