Fun Fun!

A few warm afternoon's have been spent eating watermelon,

oh what fun and oh what mess Lexie still makes!

And just a bump shot in there for all wondering how l'm "growing"

Our Lawn!

You wouldn't believe it but we now have lawn!!!

It is so exciting to look out the window and see "green".

It is so exciting to step outside and feel "green", and l'm sure maybe some of the neighbour's are a little "green" at us for it!

We knew the day would come,what a relief. Nath preparing the area with sheep poo, by mowing over it of course,abit dry it was

Our truck load of turf. The Ute did sit abit low as you can see on the way home but worth it for

No better sight right now for us!!!

Big 4 Mini-Break!

We were blessed to be given a voucher for Christmas last year to use at any Big4 park.

With this Christmas fast approaching, we thought to take advantage of it and to see what Shepparton had to offer us.

Nathan had a meeting in Shep so we made a little holiday and left the day before and stayed 2 nights.

The break away also worked well in that on Saturday we picked up our turf from Yarrawonga which is an 1hr from Shep. A very pleasurable weekend had!

A great family park with alot of activities for children.

With daylight saving's, Lexie loved playing outside after her bath for a change

Before Nath left for his meeting there was of course enough time for a bounce on the jumping pillow

It was alot of fun and between them both yelling "Look at me!" l was able to take picture's

Eating breakfast whilst watching television was a real novelty and a first

Thanks Ma Ma and Pa! Muchly appreciated

Sprinkler's!

The day arrived and to Nathan it could not have come at a better time.

We were able to water our lawns with sprinkler's! and not be breaking any rules.

A tick past 6pm and the first sprinkler was being thrown out onto the lawn Oh what a glorious sight to behold !

8pm-ish and they were off, to be back on in a couple of days

Indiya's Birthday Party!

A couple of weeks ago we had a beautiful afternoon/evening playing in the park and helping little friend Indiya celebrate her birthday. "Butterfly" style.

With the food and games, everyone had fun,even the Dad's who got to come.

No better way to start a party then with food, a sausage sizzle.

Birthday girl Indiya in the background on blue chair and Lexie's side kick, Amali.

Amali enjoying as much fairy bread as possible while mum not looking Time for a game and egg and spoon race's with marbles and plastic spoons keep all children well entertained for a long time

Lexie trying hard not to loose her marble's

Next activity was "decorate and make your own key chain".

Indiya's dad Cam,a teacher,guided the children through the next game.

A Butterfly hunt

With feet crossed Lexie is all ear's

Hunting and..........

found five chocolate butterflies

Time for cake and Indiya's mum,Jess,did yet another wonderful creation.

(Those are hand made chocolate butterflies,wow!)

Ending the time with an icy pole

Drawing's!

So as a parent you can get so excited about the smallest things your little one's do.

In our case this time it is Lexie's first stick figure drawing and

drawing's that "actually" look like what she is explaining to us.

A man,potato like l thought Abi cat,side body profile l think.

Will miss you Nana!

With sadness we said good-bye to Nana last Thursday.

But it is with joy in our hearts we know where she rests now. Happy and healthy.

We love you Nana! See you again soon.
