Happy friday

Friday afternoon we fired up the bbq and had a early dinner out in the sun. Spring is finally here so we spend as much time as we can outside enjoying it!

Afterwards we biked of to our favourite spot - Tuvagården! That barn in the background is where Klara had her Christening ♥

The swings were a bit scary a few weeks ago but not anymore!



She never wants to stop, and if she gets it her way she wants mum and dad lined up next to her swinging away too!

Another one enjoying the warmer weather :)

One happy Klara Susan who chrashed into bed after a day full of outdoors activities. That meant mum and daddy time so we took out the lollies, put on a video and just enjoyed spending time together after a week of nightshift.

Weekend in pictures

Wednesday afternoon I picked this happy child up from kindy and that was the start of a long weekend together.

Matt still had to work all week like normal but we had the evenings together. We try to make the most out of them so here we had been for a long bike ride and stopped at a playground on the way home. 

Friday evening finally came which meant daddy-time too :)

Klara Susan decided to wake up around 5ish every morning.. so we have had many hours together around the breakfest table.

Needed to stock up on groceries and found this cutie on special xx gumboots and rainjacket is due to terrible weather most days...

Not much fun outside in the rain so had warm baths instead inside.

Saturday we packed the family in the car and headed out to the beach... hopefully next time we return it will be a bit warmer...

Must be the smell of ocean that makes everyone happy...

...especially Cash! He was running wild :)

Cash even went for this years first swim... needless to say we didnt stay long after that... outside temperature around 5degrees and god knows how cold in the water...

Sunday finally came with warm weather and we started the morning with a family walk up in the forest behind us.

Later Klara cooked us all lunch...

In the afternoon we could even peel of a few layers of clothes and went up to the playground for a play. Klara discovered the digger and that was a hit! Like father - like daughter :)

Finished the weekend off like we started it - with Mum&Klara-time. Matt has been working crazy hours lately due to a big project at work and tonight he went back into night shift again. Which means I wont see him until friday afternoon... :( Bring on friday I say!

Attempted to take a nice family picture... You try catching a busy 2 year old on camera :)

Easter weekend.

Easter weekend didnt only contain birthday parties, it also included a trip up to the winter cottage with the extended family. We jumped on the snow scooters and headed out on the ice for some fishing and sunbathing :)

Klara Susan 2 years old ♥

29 march - it was 2 years since you came to us baby girl and you make us so proud every day. We started this special day early (!!) with some presents on the bed :) 

Then we chased the balloons around for a while,



Tried out the new handbags I got for my birthday.

Got some cool presents from my family too! and here Altea is helping me open some of them. Cheers cuzzie!

I got a cool table and netting for my bed too, Thanks Mormor and Morfar!

A Train set! thanks Aunty Sara and Anton :)

Having a ball chasing ballons and spending tíme with the family.

In true NZ style Dad fired up the bbq and we had some hambugers and sausages for lunch.

ooooo is that what I think it is?? Cake!!!!

Mum thought she was funny buying those trick candles that light by themselves, End result was me putting my hand through the cake :)

A special day for a special girl ♥

time to boggie down in my nappy!

Since its been a while we can do a quick update of what we've been up to :) Klara loves helping me with the baking - or doing the cleaning up at least ;)



Reading books with daddy is still a favourite

Playdough is another new favourite :)

The winter up here is long and cold but as long as Klara has a shovel in her hand she's happy.

When the sun comes out so does the people! We had some kiwis over for some outdoorsplay and a picknic this weekend.

Harry, Klara and Ella having hotdogs in the snow.

Klara and morfar is starting a rockband.

Getting groceries has always been fun, ever better now when Klara gets a trolley of her own!

Playdough mustach gets thumbs up!
