I wish that I could press pause on the clock for a few moments. Time goes too quickly and our children grow too fast! Can you believe that our sweet little Rylee started playgroup this year?? He is loving it and has been a model child since day one. No tears at all, except when he wants his mommy to fetch him from school and his granny does instead! Living nearby meant that Jake and I could pop in on Jake's way to school to take a few snaps of Rylee on his big day! This little man was excited!
Waving goodbye...
The biggest cousin with the littlest. Jake was heading off to start his final year of primary school and nearly missed the bell - we were so busy taking photos with Rylee...
Boys being silly - squeezing bubbles out of Rylee's mouth...
Rylee loves dinosaurs. I think all boys do. When Jake started grade one and could go to the library to chose his own books once a week, he used to bring home dinosaur books every week! I think he just enjoyed hearing me try to pronounce all those names. Anyway, this is Rylee, roaring...
Let's go, let's go...
It's an exciting, but sad moment in a parent's life when their baby goes off to school for the first time...
In other Rylee-news, our little Gogga turned 3 at the end of Feb and had an AWESOME fireman party at home to celebrate with his friends and family. He's such a cutie pie. Oh, that's a dragon on his face...
Another roar...
Rosie's so good at putting together awesome parties...
Oh and yum! Let's not forget the grown up food...
The birthday boy looked super cute in his smart party shirt...
Rylee's gorgeous cake, made by his very clever mom...
Getting ready to tuck into his party feast...
Stinky...
There were a lot of people...
Singing happy birthday to himself...
And enjoying the sweeties off the cake...

After sticking his face into a bowl full of hundreds and thousands, Rylee enjoyed ice-creams with his friends. Rylee loves ice lollies (or lallies, as he calls them)...
At 3, Rylee is a gentle, dinosaur-mad, loving boy, who has stolen his way into our hearts in a way we never dreamed possible. We have to share him with Gareth's family, but it's such a treat to spend time with him before and after school/work. He's got a gorgeous sense of humour and loves to laugh. He likes sleeping too and when he comes home from school, he tells you that he's tired and wants to sleep. Rylee loves his pets too - his Luxie and his Meow. When he's not roaring, he talks all the time. He loves food and his favourite drink is coke. The other day, something was broken and he told my mom, "don't worry, my daddy fix it". He also told my dad, "Pa, don't moan Nini". Yesterday, he told me hot cwoss bums are his favourite. Too cute for words. He's so like his dad in so many ways and it's gorgeous to see him watching and learning from Gareth. He's a total cuddle bug when it comes to his mom. Rylee loves to "fly" with me around the garden and ride his black motorbike. He loves playing with his toys, especially his dinosaurs. Dinosaur movies are also his favourite and I love to see him walking like a dinosaur, with his arms tucked in short, then he dips his head and roars as loudly as he can. Gorgeous! Rylee, we love you so much and wish you a very happy year of being 3!
Love, Suewie and Jake
