Whoosh…!
In two weeks’ time the Jones family will be spinning their wheels along the motorway on their way up to the Midlands to spend some very special time with my side of the family. It’s my nephew’s birthday, my birthday, my parents’ 40th anniversary [also known as mum wants a medal-iversary] and one of my…
My love affair with Gin is nearly as long as my love affair with my husband, and began (and nearly ended) at my 18th birthday party in March 1994. Raised in the Midlands on a weekend TV cocktail of James Bond movies (Saturday nights) and Formula One racing (Sunday afternoons), when I reached the grand old age…
It’s JULY. Household budgeting time. Half the year has gone, passed me by and I’m thinking that maybe I just slept from February to now. I vaguely recall promising myself that I would be more organised as a New Year’s resolution – meal plan, budget,… you know how it goes at ten minutes to midnight….
This is my fourth mothers’ day. I love this day more than my birthday even..and it always, always delivers. There were so many things that made today amazing for me. For a start, I managed to get a shower by myself, AND blow dry my hair. I don’t remember the last time I blow dried…
Love cheese? Welcome to the club. Yet I still find it incredible that I only began to eat cheese when I met my husband. Before then, besides squeezy spread at law school, I just wasn’t a fan. These days, I’m not sure I go a day without eating it – and we were delighted when…
It sounds like your weekend was a blast – literally! That looks like so much more fun that what I did. It wasn't that my weekend wasn't fun. It just didn't have rockets.
What a fun post. I haven't seen bottle rockets in a long time. This brings back memories. I spent last weekend being lazy and will be going on a train tour this coming weekend.
Oh how fun! You captured some really great pictures. My brothers used to play with bottle rockets like this.
Your boys are so cute! And happy birthday to you. I hope you got everything you wished for.
They look so happy, thank you so much for sharing this wonderful post and photos 😀
Looks like everyone had a fun day. =) My kiddos would love to shoot off rockets like that. Great pictures.
Birthdays, boys, and bottle rockets sound like an excellent combination. It looks like a whole lot of fun.
Such nice pictures and family. Thank you for sharing this occasion with us.
What an awesome birthday! My husband and I drove out to Vegas for one night. Your weekend seems like it was just a little more relaxing (but no less exciting). 🙂
It looks like you guys had a blast. My son would have loved bottle rockets when he was younger.
Oh wow, that is a fun activity for the boys of your family! My son would love that! Belated happy birthday!
Happy belated birthday, glad you and the family has some fun. You have some very cute kids there.
You’re such a cool mom!!! I would love to do this with my kids too!
That looks like so much fun! Can't wait for the weather to get a little bit nicer so we can get outside and do stuff again.
So much fun in the beautiful weather, I'm totally envious. I would love to have my birthday during this time of the year were the weather is in between states.
These will be unforgettable memories for your children. My daughters are in their 30s now and they still remember all the fun stuff their dad and I did with them when they were that age.
That bottle rocket looks like a lot of fun. Gotta cherish the birthdays and time we have with our kids.
Aw, they look like they had a ton of fun. Beautiful pictures, and happy birthday 🙂
Bottle rockets look like a lot of fun – I wanna try that with my nephew. This weekend, no fun for me. Just work.
okay, those are amazing! I need to get some for my boys!
Awwwwwwww looks like y'all had a lot of fun!!!! I haven't played with bottle rockets since I was a kiddo. Brings back memories looking at your photos 🙂
Looks like you had an awesome weekend. Belated Happy Birthday! I wish I could have seen that cake.
This looks like a blast, I didn't know they made these anymore. Another week and hopefully we can start getting outside more, the little ones are going stir crazy!
That's a cute bottle rocket! I've never seen one that's actually shaped like a rocket! It looks like y'all had a great time 🙂
Oh my stars, my kids would have a blast with the bottle rockets. And my husband as well for that matter!
That looks like soo much fun! My kid's would love that. I haven't ever seen anything like this before.
What great pictures! I've been wanting to do bottle rockets with my girls but they don't seem very interested haha! They would rather have their nails painted! Lol
