A little more...

Of what we've been up to....A few weeks ago we took the kids to the show, they had fun.. playing at side show alley, having rides, buying showbags (always a huge hit!!) eating show food & finishing the day off with ice-cream & fireworks.. the simple pleasures of being a kid!! xx










Samuel having fun with his new light saber...


Ice-cream is a must :)

What we've been up to....

Dreamworld... a few weeks before the holidays, Gold Coast show long weekend, Friday was a public holiday, we took the kids to Dreamworld in the afternoon, they always have a fun when we go, but this time I think dad might have had just a little more fun than the kids! I had a couple of rides too... I went on the Rapid Ride & the Stingray, I'm not a ride kind of girl so this was huge for me lol!!! Roy went on the Giant Drop with Nick & Jordy, me & my big mouth, said it didn't look too bad & will have a go next time where are there! maybe not lol!!!!! so here are some photos from our visit...

BE WARNED THERE ARE MANY PHOTOS!! :)

Holidays...

And the warmer weather are here!! On the Coast it has been rather warm today, especially in the sun, & now we have some major storm activity inland which no doubt we will feel the affects of! I have to say today was like the start of all things new... (for me anyway!) the air was like a warm kiss on your face, it was so nice to wear a cute little dress & flip flops, & big shock didn't wear any makeup ( which for me is huge lol!!) when I went out to the shops, I was however wearing Chanel so I was all good! I even bought myself flowers... which always makes me happy :)
With the arrival of the warmer weather usually means trips to the beach & many hours in the pool! which also means the time is NOW for getting back into shape!! I'm dreading it, but know it will be worth it in the end lol!!!! I'm soooo glad the kids are on holidays for the next two weeks, I really need a break from our day to day routine & to recharge my batteries.... don't have any plans we are just going to chill!! we have talked about trips to Dreamworld, the beach & a few other things but nothing is planned, just playing everything by ear! I simply love this time of the year, even though the countdown to Christmas is on... I saw Christmas cards today!!! I love everything about Spring, the flowers, the warmth in the air, holidays, the bbq's everything except.... the magpies!
Here is a preview to how we will be spending many hours as the weather continues to warm up....

Thank you....

To my beautiful blogging friends! your kind words, thoughts & prayers have deeply touched my heart! Jaimie is doing just great... she amazes me with her strength, determination & most of all her perspective on life... I am blessed to have such a beautiful daughter & such beautiful friends thank you :)
I have spent some time trying to catch up on all of your blogs.. I'm getting there, & I have so many photos to post, so I will be getting to that very soon! for now here is my little guy taken Saturday arvo at his favourite place.... wonder what he was thinking!!

take care, xxxxx

Excitement...

Turns to sadness, the little bundle of joy that would have joined us early next year is no more! Becoming grandparents is something we knew would happen one day... just not yet! but we accepted it & looked forward to meeting this little person! I had picked out her first bracelet & her first Christmas dress, if it had a been a boy well needless to say he would have had his first pair of soccer boots & a soccer ball long before he could walk!!! I was so excited, never thought for a second that it would be over before it really started! My heart shattered when I saw her face after the ultrasound, I knew that it was bad news! I know it happens so many times but you never think it will happen to someone you love!!
Take care.. xxxxx

Happy Father's Day...

To my wonderful husband! We've had a busy day, hubby got some wonderful gifts, but none better than having our baby girl back with us!!!! more on that later!

Anyway it's getting late & I have had one too many wines (again!!) & I have work in the morning & then a million things to do after that.... but I will be stopping by to hi to you all as soon as I can!!!

So Proud....

This morning Samuel asked me if I could go to his assembly in the afternoon as he was getting an award, of course I would be there I told him! So at assembly they go through all the class awards then they start talking about some very special awards.. for students who participated in a maths exam earlier on in the term, Samuel was one of the students who did & to my complete surprise Samuel got a Credit woohoo!!!!! so now he has a certificate from the NSW University congratulating him on his achievements , then he was presented with a Thumbs Up award for good behaviour, that makes two of these awards this year which is not so easy to get once they are in year 3 & up... so his mama is just a little proud :D
Sorry I've been such a bad blogger :( but life has been so busy, the kids had a day off on Friday, public holiday for our local show, so when dad got home from work off to Dreamworld we went, Saturday we were at the Gold Coast Show, Sunday we had a bbq in the park for my niece... (I will be posting all of those photos soon) then later on in the afternoon I had a wine & nibblies afternoon with some of my wonderful friends, we had a fantastic afternoon!!! Monday saw me back working at the school again, & I will be there until early December, it's only a few hours a day but it still messes with my day, thank goodness I don't work full time LOL!!! & not to mention my addiction to the Stephanie Meyer books, Twilight & New Moon I have just finished & I can't wait to start the next one!!! As for my news.... SOON... my friends, very SOON, I will say that we are very excited :D
Well that's it for me... I'll be back later... :) xxxxxx
