Sick kids, Yummy food and Tattoos...

Last week was rater exciting as our friends Sven and Lizzy were about to have baby number two and we were all on stand by! While at work I got a call from Sven saying they needed to get to the Hospital and could I come over and watch Amelie who was at home sick. I said no problem! :)

 Amelie had a touch of flu and was not her normal energetic self... but we had fun none the less, just look at how happy she is.

We must have watch 'Tangled' about 8 time before I attempted to put her down for a nap..... and I was all cried out from the movie so I could have done with a break myself.

She was not feeling that photogenic that day.... cute none the less.

No baby came that night, just like most girls she arrived late and was born the next day. So now Sven and Lizzy have two cute little girls...... god help Sven!

Fee had to pop over to Copenhagen for a few days as it was Fashion week so we decided to make a weekend of it. We had a great weekend but it was SO COLD!!! Our faces and fingers were frozen while we were walking around so I only really have pictures of the food we ate. Haha

Just look how 'Fashion' and pretty she is.  :)

On our first night we met up with Ines & Gustav for a yummy meal. For some reason there was only a picture of me and Gustav and not the girls.... I guess the camera just loves us.

Apple AND Orange juice!? What will they think of next.

Tasty, sticky and sweet chicken. 

Mmmmmmm.

Super crispy squid, these was sooooo good I could eat it all day long!

We had a rather nice selection of fish and meat at the Sticks and Sushi. Looking at it now makes me want to eat it again. 

While in Copenhagen I couldn't  resist popping in to see my two favorite tattooists Marija and Judd at 'The Sailors Grave'. Their new(ish) studio is looking great and its always nice to catch up with them.

Oh, and i'm getting tattooed on the 20th March so watch this space.

Xmas cookies and a baby sitting job..

Xmas is very much upon us, only two weeks to go now! To help get everyone in the mood our American friends Tara & Jason hosted a little cookie decoration party. They had every thing baked and ready when we got there, we just had to make them pretty.

There was many shapes to choose from as Tara has a big collection of cutters.

Here are some of my 'in progress' cookies.

Fee put her steady hands to good work on the cookies.

Matthew, being the tallest was given the task to take a pic of all the cookies.

We all likes his pose.

Just a small selection of the sugary treats that were made that night.

As Tara & Jason are expecting their first baby I made this 'mummy' themed cookie.

Speaking of babies, our German friends Sven & Lizzy are expecting their second baby in the new year and we are on 'the list' for baby sitting when the time comes. So we popped over to see them to get details sorted. It's always fun seeing those guys as we get to hangout with Amelie....

She enjoys seeing herself on the iPhone screen.

Cupcakes & Friends...

Last weekend was a nice and rather productive one for the Groves household. On Friday night we drove down to Billund to catch up with our friends Lizzy & Sven. We will actually be spending Xmas with them so it's a good job we actually like them. Then on Saturday we got ALL of our xmas shopping done which is great, so now we can just chill out until Xmas.

 Lizzy showing off her very round baby bump, no2 is due in January so it's not long now.

Fee, Sven and Mr Mustache waiting for the very yummy main dish to arrive.

We picked up some Chocolate and VERY tasty cupcakes for desert. We made sure there was one for Amelie their little girl, but we wanted proof that it was not eaten by Sven.....

... so there is the proof, now THATS how you eat a cupcake!

In other news I was in the Local Vejle magazine, I figured it was only going to be half a page.... turned out to be a 4 page spread!

 We also received our bumper box of "We do not plan to do anything over Xmas" DVD's.

Cant wait for a nice Xmas break.

Super Mega Dupa Update....

Ok, so the posts have been piling up and it's time to get up to date with the bloggings around here. 

Last week me and a buddy went to see Machine head over in Copenhagen, it was a great line up with Bring Me Horizon and Devil Driver as support. Sadly the crowed was a little thin and subdued for these bands which was a real shame as the rock. However Machine Head DESTROYED the venue and my hearing!! So it was a great night all in all.

Tickets just seem to be getting bigger and bigger these days.

This was a map showing the route from our hotel to the venue. We figured it was a 15min walk..... after 40min of walking we got a train. I'll never trust a map again.

I'm don't really take photos at show as I am fed up seeing a sea of iPhones but I had to capture this.

Long story short 'Casper' was invited up on stage to flash is man boobs then stage dive..... he was a big guy and it did not end well for him.  :/

Last Sunday was very 'nice' and by that I mean it was all very grown up and polite as we went to Church. We were there for little Naya's christening and it was a fun little day out. 

Proud Daddy Will with his fast growing bundle of joy. 

She was very well behaved on the day.

Apparently she is a thumb sucker.... still cute.

It gave me and Fee an excuse to 'scrub up' and look nice.

Ok now comes all the random bits that are fun to know but don't really justify a full post of their own. Sorry random photos, its sad but true.....

 Movember is in full swing and me and the guys are hoping to raise lots of cash for charity. So get involved or give me lots of cash!

We had a fancy home cooked dinner the other night. Duck leg with mashed sweet potato, fried Scollop on pesto and Mushrooms with Spinach and cream..... YUM!

 Fee has become the 'bringer of warmth' and got me an early Xmas gift in the form of a Canada Goose Jacket. Its getting cold her in DK so this is much needed.... TAK BABE!

The Birthday of Mrs Groves....

The 22nd was Fee's Birthday and we have been eating Cheesecake for three days straight..... not that I am complaining but I think my Liver and waist line are about to give up on me!

You cant have a Birthday without Flowers and gifts!

Fee was off to the Spa with a friend so we had a light breakfast. I did a posh twist on Egg's & Bacon.

 On her Return I had made a super tasty Cheesecake with Strawberries and Jam.

 This one turned out pretty good I have to say, just look at the layers!

That night we went out for dinner at a nice Italian place in town. Tasted great but we had not eaten that much Pasta in a long time so we were VERY full. The upside was that we did not eat all the Cheesecake that night! We were nice and shared it with some friends Friday night before going out for dinner and drinks..... yes you read that right, BEFORE DINNER! The best thing about being a grown up is eating cake whenever you want.  :P

Today we went to see Lizzy who was having her birthday today..... again we took Cheesecake.

 Fee was teaching Amilie how to say animal names in English.... which was super cute. :)

CUTE OVERLOAD!

Ok, so on Sunday we went to see our friends who just had their second baby. So now their little girl Ella has a baby brother by the name of Joris. Some other friends came along and it turned into a bit of a baby-fest.... enjoy!

"Oh hi, welcome to my crib."

"Diz flannel smell like kloroform to you?"

Fee was getting into the whole playtime thing.

"Hey kids, what to join me in my candy castle of fun!?"

Inside the fun palace.

"Oooooooo I got a ball"

Baby Joris just chilling out in his bubblegum coloured cardigan.

Awww how....cute?

Ella has and never will trust me, this is the only look I ever get from her.

"er...what?"

The whole Dutch clan together in one shot. :)

Lami-poppins had to say good bye a little early.

"Diz is what I thinks of your offer!"

"Lamby, I done told you. Pay ups or I take your wool"

I had to be Bubble monkey for a while to keep the kids happy.

"Ooooooooooooo"

"Iz that woman behind me still talking?.... I swear to god she will go the same wayz as the Lamb"

"Some times I just like to sit here and watch the little people from the window."

"Quick! Take diz before she noms it!"
