Mother & Daughter...

My beautiful friend Amanda & her gorgeous little girl Amelia, 2 weeks later (24.02.08) Amanda gave birth to another darling little girl Charlotte, she is just precious! xx





Dreamworld...

Just some photos from Dreamworld, we all got yearly passes for Christmas, this was just before the kids went back to school, we went to activate the passes, we still have to go back & have our photos taken so we can actually get the passes!!! While we were there we went on the "The Wild Rapid" ride (don't have photos) we had a blast on this ride... the kids got totally soaked, Sam wasn't all that keen, especially when we went through the dark tunnel, Hubby can't wait to go on the "Tower of Terror" & all those wild rides! not me, no way... I'll be keeping my feet firmly on the ground :) xx

p.s... just a few photos :)

HOT, HOT, HOT....

Is what Saturday was!!! so we are up early & at the beach by 6.20am!!! it was already really warm then! Main beach is where we stayed for the next four hours, the kids had a ball! the water was so nice, Tayla & Sam were happy to play just at the water's edge, until daddy went in, then they ventured out a little deeper, Nick & Jordy were trying to catch as many waves as they could on their boogie boards, have been thinking I might just get one myself, now that would be a sight!!!! The kids weren't too happy about leaving but I'd had enough sun (ouch!!) so we headed home for showers than out for lunch, the heat was terrible, nothing worse than a really thick, hot breeze :( anyway the kids thought it would be cool if mum got some boardies & went swimming with them!!! Ok... got some boardies, head back to the beach this time we check out Currumbin, we were devastated, the terrible winds & high seas from a few days before had taken most of the sand, so we try Burleigh, not much better but we stop here, the kids were so happy to back at the beach & the fact that mum was going in as well.... NOT!!! the wind had really picked up (thank God) & that was my excuse not to go in! Around 5.50pm we head home for showers & pizza for dinner... needless to say the kids slept very well! xx

Anniversary...

Today we celebrate 14 years of marriage! I had these photos taken as a gift for hubby, he loved them, but he was totally blown away when I told him who took them... Tayla our almost 10yr old!!!! at first he didn't believe me, but I assured him it was very true. I think Tayla has done a beautiful job in taking these photos ( those dSLR's are so heavy & she is so little!!!) they also mean more to me than anything because SHE took them! Happy Anniversary babe, love you more today than yesterday, but less than I will tomorrow :) xxxx

and yes that is my wedding dress :)
and NO it doesn't fit me!!!!!!

Beautiful Skies...

The kids came running " look at the sky there's a rainbow, the sky's really pretty!", so I went out to see what all the commotion was about! The sky was amazing... this is what we saw, love how the sky changes colour & it has an almost pinkish colour just as the sun goes down, a beautiful way to end the day. xx

you need to click on them to see the colour better :)

Ava, Super Princess...

I would like to ask everyone to keep Sheye & her family in their thoughts & prayers over the next few days especially on Tuesday 5th Feb. One year ago on the 5th Feb 07 their beautiful daughter Ava passed away. Click on the link (to the right) to go to Sheye's blog & you can show your support by leaving a message or even just read about Ava, Super Princess, it's the most heart warming story, there's also beautiful photos captured by Sheye who is an amazing photographer. To my beautiful friend Sheye, Ava has touched the lives of so many, so many that never knew her! The gift of Ava has made me stop & enjoy the everyday things & not to take anything for granted!

Thank you, xxxx

And then this...

Tayla was quiet on the way home Tuesday afternoon, we get home, she changes into something a little cooler, I was busy organizing lunch packs, getting the washing in, dinner etc., & then it dawned on me that I hadn't seen or heard Tayla, I thought she was in her room reading or playing on her DS... but no,she was asleep, she was exhausted... late nights, early mornings, the heat or so I thought! How wrong was I!!! Tayla slept for about 11/2 hours & woke with a fever, headache & a sore throat. The doctor confirmed my suspicions the next morning... tonsillitis. I couldn't believe it six weeks at home & the first day back at school & she comes home sick!!! Tayla is on the mend, this is her third day at home, which for her is torture! she has had as much time off this week as she would in an entire school year!!

My sweet little girl...



All the paraphernalia that she has to have...

1st Day of School-08...

1st day of a new school year... Tayla & Samuel were happy to be going back to school, especially Tayla (she lives for school & never wants to leave!!!!) They are happy about the classes they're in & about their teachers, Tayla yr. 5, Miss C & Samuel yr.3, Mrs M., Tayla was also happy to have J in her class again!! they have been together since Yr.1 (J is the dark haired one in the group photo below). Sam looked so unsure in his photo (classroom one) his friends names were on the list for 3A but had not yet shown up... he was fine when I met him at his classroom in the afternoon, he said," school was great, he'd had a good day & was happy with the class he was in, & his friends were there"!! So here is to a happy year for all of our children, I hope it is a year filled with good friends, good teachers & great memories!! xx
