Girls Saturday hike!

The Rapids Girlies got a little adventurous a few weeks back and decided to do Saturday hikes, oh my....
4 adults, 7 kids, (8,7,7,4,4,2,2) and two babies under 6 months CRAZY!!!

Here are some hiking tips...

Don't bring your buggy!!!
Dont hike a trail where you have to cross a river with boulders!!! (we didn't!)
Don't hike too far from home (Bailey didn't sleep in her bjorn, was then over over tired, cried, no screamed all the journey home I had to stop and try EVERYTHING nothing worked so got back in car and drove, she eventually gave up and slept but not before my other poor passenger got whiplash from my tongue poor guy! Stressed!!! (my friends little boy thought it would be fun to ride with me!!!) how wrong can u be?

Apart from that the hiking was great, felt like I could do anything after it, super mum! Also good for the body.

When we going again girls???

baby Names...

I always had a list of names I liked, well it wasn't a list as such but a whole page in the back of my list book, I only showed it to Steve the other day he thanked me for not showing it to him earlier.
I think he thinks I'm weird but with years of trying to get pregnant - you amass an amount of names and ideas.

BUT once I was actually pregnant the name page was whittled down as I looked at the names and saw that
a) some of the names had been used by my friends
b) some of the names we're just plain ridiculous
I ended up with only a few maybes.

The responsibility of naming a child is scary, they have it for the rest of their lives, such a responsibility we were going through name books so quickly just dismissing names.

Steve came home from work early on in the pregnancy with a girls name he thought of, I think he may have read it in the boys name section the night before and it obviously stuck in his brain and popped out for a girls name, he even had a nickname idea for it already! bless we're keeping it a secret as no one can help but comment on your names even if you say 'I love *****' people will say 'oh no that's awful' - erm I said I love that name????

so now we have 1 definite girls name and a possible back up and 2 possible boys names although we're not so in love with the boys names!

Girls

Boys

Any guesses??? PS one of my friends knows the B name so please keep it quiet xxxx
