Elisabeth (Lizzie)
(Artist, Cat Lover, Sporty, Studious)
Elisabeth Rose was born on the 17th of April 2005, 5 days late, at Treliske Hospital in Cornwall. She was born at 8.38am, weighing 7lb 7.1/4oz.
Elisabeth was always a very energetic, clever, sporty, friendly little girl. She loved to be busy all of the time and she loved to be around other people. She started Ballet at aged 5, followed by Gymnastics soon after. Ballet didn’t last all that long but she did gymnastics up until the age of about 11, competing in lots of competitions and picking up many medals along the way.
Swimming club and Netball came next. She was part of Elgin swim club for about 18 months and she still plays for the school Netball team now.
Lizzie has recently completed her Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award. We are of course immensely proud of her and for the amount of work and effort she put in. She has now moved on to her Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award.
Art has always been a real passion of Elisabeth’s and she spends most of her free time drawing. She has such a talent for art and the pieces she produces are really amazing. She also uses her artistic talents to help out with some artwork for a local charity, Logan’s Fund, which she really enjoys as it is something different for her.
Elisabeth is a very intelligent, beautiful, kind and thoughtful young lady. She has an amazing outlook on life and what she wants to do, and we are super proud of all that she has and continues to achieve!!
Olivia (Liv)
(Dancer, Super Flexible, Never willingly loses an argument)
Olivia Violet was born on her due date on the 11th of October 2006, also at Treliske Hospital in Cornwall. She was born at 1.40am, weighing 8lb 3oz.
Olivia was always a very laid back and calm little girl. She was a little shy and cautious around others at first but very friendly and much more outgoing once she got to know people.
Olivia started Ballet at the aged of 3 initially and although she has had a break here and there, mainly in her younger years, she has continued to dance different styles, settling on a few that she enjoys, including acrobatics arts, lyrical and disco which she absolutely loves!!
Olivia’s passion for dance is just incredible to watch. She trains and practices whenever she can and she adores everything to do with dance. She always puts everything into her performance and she is truly a joy to watch.
She is fiercely determined in all that she undertakes and doesn’t let anything stand in her way if it’s something that she really wants to do. She can also talk for England and will always try to get the last word in any argument!! (Although she never willingly loses an argument either!!)
Olivia is an extremely loyal, beautiful, kind and helpful young lady and she is wise beyond her years in many ways. She is fun to be around and has a wicked sense of humour. She is also fiercely protective of her family and friends. We are so very proud of all that she has and continues to achieve!!
Charlotte
(Helpful, Caring, Organised)
Charlotte Mary is a non-identical twin to Isabelle. The twins were born at 38 weeks on the 25th of January 2008 in Bangor, North Wales. Charlotte is the elder twin by 18 minutes. She was born at 4.50am, weighing 5lb 1oz.
Charlotte was always an inquisitive, outgoing and talkative little girl. She would always be the first out of the twins to play with others and to get involved in activities.
Charlotte loves to dance and perform and over the last couple of years she has also found a real passion and talent for being in front of the camera and is always on hand to help present our YouTube videos!
Charlotte is a sensitive soul and she can worry about a lot of things and take things to heart. She also hates to be late for anything, so she tries to make sure she is super organised and is normally the first to be ready to leave the house for school in the mornings.
She has also got to be the clumsiest out of all of the children!! She can somehow manage to trip over air and if there is an accident, 9 times out of ten Charlotte is involved! Out of all of the children, I think I have spent the most time in A&E with Charlotte!!
Charlotte, like her sisters, also has a very determined streak and will push herself to achieve the things she really wants to do!
Charlotte is a very helpful, beautiful, kind and unique young lady. She has a very caring nature and loves to care for those around her. We are very proud of all that she has and continues to achieve!!
Isabelle
(Slightly nuts, Acro queen, Chatterbox)
Isabelle Audrey is Charlotte’s non-identical twin sister. The twins were born at 38 weeks on the 25th of January 2008 in Bangor, North Wales. Isabelle is 18 minutes younger than Charlotte. She was born at 5.08am, weighing 6lb 9oz.
Isabelle was a very quiet and shy little girl. In her early years, she would let Charlotte do all the talking for her and would hardly ever speak. She would always be the reluctant one at getting involved in things especially with other people.
She, like Olivia and Charlotte, also loves to dance, but over the years she has tried many different activities. She started with Gymnastics which she loved but wanted to try Kick-Boxing which she also loved but then she decided to try dance and acrobatic arts which she really fell in love with and has stuck at for the last few years.
Isabelle can be very determined when she wants to be. She once spent an entire summer, every day, teaching herself to do a backflip in the garden……..and she succeeded!
She has a very kind and caring nature and will always be on hand to help family and friends. She will quite often be there as a go between or someone to listen and advise for her friends and her sisters!!!
As she has grown, Isabelle has gained in confidence and is now a very chatty, slightly crazy, beautiful, fun loving young lady and we are super proud of all that she has and continues to achieve!!
Noah
(Aircraft mad, Kind, Mini engineer)
Noah Jack James was also born on his due date on the 7th of December 2009. He was born at Wallingford Community Hospital in Oxfordshire at 6.30am, weighing 9lb 6oz!!
Noah was always a very cautious, gentle little boy. He never tried to open a cupboard or attempt the stairs without someone to help. The girls used to carry him around everywhere and pretty much do everything for him when he was very small!!
He has a very mechanical mind and loves to build and create with his Lego and Meccano. He also really enjoys art and loves to draw.
Noah likes to watch and play football with his friends and he really loves anything to do with aircraft, especially fast jets!
Being the first boy after four girls means that he is unfortunately constantly nagged by his elder sisters!! It also means though that his two younger brothers look up to him, and he is a wonderful role model for them both!
Noah is a very kind, thoughtful and handsome young man. He has a very caring nature and is very helpful around the house and with his younger brothers and sisters. We are very proud of all that he has and continues to achieve!!
Evangeline (Eva)
(Wild child, Mind of her own, Animal crazy, Wants to be a Unicorn)
Evangeline Scarlett was born just over two weeks early on the 14th of September 2011. She was also born at Wallingford Community Hospital in Oxfordshire. She was born at 9.53am, weighing 7lb 12.5oz.
Eva was found to have bilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) at about 5 weeks old so she needed to be in a pavlik harness for a few months which thankfully corrected the problem.
Eva is a real outdoors sort of child!! She loves to be free and wild outside in all sorts of weathers and is a real nature lover. She will quite happily spend time out in the garden building dens and digging for bugs!!
Another passion of Evangeline’s is animals!! She adores animals of all kinds (especially Foxes at the moment for some reason!!) and once spent about a month pretending to be a different animal everyday, including a unicorn!!
She also loves to draw and she loves anything pokemon!!! In fact, at the moment, you can barely get in her bed because of the amount of pokemon soft toys on it!!
Evangeline is a beautiful, kind, crazy, one of a kind little girl with a complete mind of her own and we wouldn’t have her any other way!! We are super proud of her for all that she has and continues to achieve!!
Tobias (Toby)
(Gentle, Cuddly, Kind, So loveable)
Tobias Jacob Benjamin was born three weeks early in the Ambulance on the way to John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford on the 5th of February 2013!! He was born at 4.14am, weighing 6lb 15.5oz.
Toby was also a very calm and quiet baby. He was very laid back and content. He always loved playing with his cars when he was small and used to carry them everywhere he went.
As there is only about 17 months between Toby and Eva, they have always been really close and great playmates!
Toby loves to play outside with his brothers and sisters, but also likes to take himself off to a quiet place when it all gets a bit too much. He can quite often be found curled up in a corner with his iPad, taking some quiet time out!!
He still loves playing with his cars and sometimes likes to play Lego with Noah. Most of all he still loves his cuddles!
Tobias is an extremely loveable, cuddly, kind, gentle and gorgeous little boy. We are very proud of all that he has and continues to achieve!!

You can read more about the twins birth and their first weeks of life on our premature birth page.
Leah has grown into a very determined little girl with a cheeky little nature. She is definitely the bossy twin and likes to boss Erin (and everyone else) around!!
Leah loves to play outside with her brothers and sisters although she prefers much safer play than Erin and is not quite as adventurous. She does love to copy her sisters dance and acro moves though!!
She is very clever and loves to draw and paint. She also loves to be around others and is very sociable.
Leah is a beautiful, clever, determined, cheeky little monkey. She has fought so much from day one of her little life and we are so very, very proud of how far she has come, and of all that she has and continues to achieve!

You can read more about the twins birth and their first weeks of life on our premature birth page.
Erin has grown into a very smart, agile, determined little girl. She also loves to play outside with her brothers and sisters and loves to dance and copy her older sisters acro moves!!
She, like Leah, loves to be around others, although is a little more shy than Leah. She also loves to do puzzles, play games, draw and colour!
Erin has literally no fear about anything! She has always been a “climber” and we would quite often find her climbing up onto things she shouldn’t have been when she was smaller! She now still loves to climb but normally on things that are supposed to be climbed on!
Erin is a beautiful, clever, determined, funny little daredevil. She has fought so much already in her little life and we are so very, very proud of how far she has come and of all the things she has achieved! She is a real little fighter!!

Agnes Mae was born three days before her due date on the 30th of May 2017 in Dr. Grays Hospital, Elgin. She was born at 5.52am, weighing 9lb 3oz.
She may only be two years old but Agnes has the cutest little personality and she is bright as a button and sharp as a wit. She adores being the centre of attention and has already learnt many ways of getting things to go her way!!
Agnes is another “climber”!! We have had to yet again adapt many things in our house so that she doesn’t climb on top of things!! She is quite often found attempting to climb on top of things she shouldn’t!! She seemingly, like Erin, has no fear!!!
She makes us all smile and laugh everyday with her constant antics and the funny and cute things that she says and does.
She also amazes us everyday with the things that she learns! She is so quick to pick things up and learns so very fast!
Agnes adores being outside, and like Eva, is happiest when she is out digging around in the mud and jumping in puddles!! She also loves to be around her brothers and sisters and gets upset when they all have to leave for school!
Agnes Mae is a beautiful, Happy, Funny, Clever, Adorable little girl. She has the cheekiest little smile and the most beautiful loving nature. We are so very proud of her and we wouldn’t change her for the world!
Joseph
(Total mummies boy, Little cutie)
Joseph William Fraser was born just over two weeks early on the 27th of August 2018 in Aberdeen Maternity Hospital. He was born at 2pm, weighing 7lb 14oz.
Although he is still only really a baby, he has got a personality larger than life. He was again a calm and laid back baby (must be a boy thing, judging on my boys!) but he was soon itching to get in the thick of it with his big brothers and sisters!
He has the funniest sense of humour and is very rarely seen without a smile on his face! He loves to have cuddles and he really loves to play with his big brothers and sisters!!
Being so close in age, him and Agnes are proving to be the best of friends and she is currently teaching him all that she knows which he just loves!!
Joseph is a funny, beautiful, full of life, clever little boy with the most amazing little character, and we all love him to bits!!
Ben and Zoe
And of course, last but not least, a little about the two of us!
Ben and I were both born and raised in Cornwall.
We both went to the same secondary school in Camborne and both used to frequent the same regular haunts!!
We met when we were in our teens and “went out” for a while but then we both moved away and followed different paths, Ben joining the RAF and me having various jobs along the way, before both moving back to Cornwall and meeting again. The rest they say is history!!
We have had many moves over the last fourteen years with the RAF, some good, some not so good. We have been in Lossiemouth for 6 years now and have finally settled somewhere that we all love.
We feel very blessed and extremely lucky to have the family that we do and we are very proud of each and every one of them!
