Make and Play Day!

     Today was a lazy day, so we had a make and play day! Samuel decided to make a robot called "64", I don't know why he called it 64. And Ryan had a go at drawing with some crayons, he did really well until the need to put them in his mouth became to great, then we had a paddy when they were taken away!!

Happy First Birthday Ryan

     Happy 1st Birthday Ryan. I can not believe that you have only been in our lives 1 year, you bring so much happiness, you can always bring a smile to my face what ever is going on around me.
  Lots of Love,
    Daddy, Mummy and your big brother Samuel. XXx

Latest games in my collection

     Well some how I'v managed to get a few new games in the last month or so, so I thought I would do a quick post about them.
 The first, and one that I have been waiting for sometime is Elemental, its a cross between Civ and a PRG. It had a bit of a rocky lunch with a few problems and bugs, but they have just released patch 1.08 which seems to have solved all my problems with it, so now I can put in some time on it now!

 The second game I got was Worms Reloaded, this one is so Samuel can play, but I loved Worms Armageddon which was 10 years ago!

 And the last is Future Wars, a turn base game, again I thought Samuel might like to play as its a slow game of "i have more tanks then you".

August 2010 - family pictures

 So August has gone, it was a busy one! We had been to SeaLife in Blackpool, Camalot at Chorley and Legoland and the castle at Windsor......


   So here is August's picture album, video to come later........

Windsor trip 2010

     We had a long but great day yesterday at Legoland. Samuel loved it and Ryan was just happy as always.
Today we went to Windsor Castle, I was really surprised how big the place was, does the queen really need all that space!? We also all went on the Windsor Wheel which was alittle scary, I would of taken I pic with my phone but was holding onto Ryan like a vice!

Sun flare in HD

    Here is a short video clip of the last sun solar flare that went off on the 2nd of this month.
 And NASA says that this just marks the start of a long, crazy solar storm season.

 The Sun goes through a regular activity cycle that lasts about 11 years, cycling between activity (solar maximum) and quiet (solar minimum). The last solar maximum was in 2001 followed by a long period of very little activity. The eruptions are among the first signs that the Sun is waking up and beginning to move towards another solar maximum, expected to occur in about 2013.
