Liam turns 3.

Today is Liam's 3rd birthday, We have had a fantastic day with friends and family at home, Liam got very spoilt I must say, but I think he just enjoyed having his friends and family there to play with him. It was great that some of our friends travelled the distance to come for his little party. (Thanks heaps you guys you helped make it a great day)

Fort Finishing Touches...

The Finishing Touches have now been installed to the fort, A Telescope, A portable phone, A set of Binoculars, A steering wheel, and a set of Handles to make it easier to get into the cubby house. Liam would like to thank Grandma and Granddad for these awesome Playground accessories as they are a Birthday gift for his up and coming Third Birthday. Jason Also installed the final gift from us to Liam for his Birthday... A Turbo Wave Slide... And sand in the sandpit! (Now where did I put those sandpit toys, when we moved...) I don't think many 3 year olds can say their dad built them a fort for their birthday but our little man can!

The Rochford's Fort

When we decided to move out here to our new home we agreed that parks are a little further away than they were in the city... And that It would be good to have a fort In the back yard, for Liam and any visiting kids to play on, The problem was I had one idea and Jason had another...! In the end this is what we came up with, Its a huge 2m wide & 5m Long the cubby house (left side) is 600mm off the ground and then the Slide platform (middle) is 1200mm High then the Deck (Yes a Deck)is approximately 1500mm high. Under the Deck is the sandpit! We plan on adding more equipment as Liam grows up, ie. Fireman's pole, Rope net, just to keep his interest and skill development.( I would also like to Thank Shane and Jason for all their hard work in building this mega fort, It is truly Awesome) Now that should keep any kid happy for years!

Liam & Lulu try out the new fort.

Progress after the 2nd weekend of work

The Frame work was up after just 1 weekend.

Our very Happy little man!

A Special Visit!

My very good friend Terry and her hubby Dave visited us in August. It was a fantastic way to spend a day. Liam instantly loved them both, he had a great time colouring in with Terry and watching a movie with Dave. Of course he was so excited to show them "His" new house and the yard! It was lovely to catch up with such great mates.(Missing you heaps Terry)
