Melbourne Weekend!

We spent a nice weekend in Melbourne not long ago.

We stayed with Uncle Trevor and Aunty Heather.

We were even fortunate to catch up with Cousin Carly and her little girl Alysa on the Saturday night.

Lexie and Alysa had a blast together, playing angels, barbie's etc Abit of down time watching a dvd

Bath time

Story time with Aunty Heather

and cuddles before bed

On the Sunday we went into the city and watched Essendon bet St Kilda.

It was awesome and Lexie loved the atmosphere

At one stage both Lexie and Nathan were yelling out

"Go Bomber's".Not good for poor U.Trev and A.Heather who are St Kilda fan's.

A very happy pair after the game

The best score we have seen "live"

Waiting patiently with every man and his dog at Southern cross station to go home

Thanks for a great weekend Uncle Trevor and Aunty Heather.

So nice to see you again and can't wait till next time.

mmmmmmmmmwah

Labybug Party!

A couple of weeks ago Lexie was invited to her first birthday party

since moving here.

lt was very exciting as Lexie love's to go see "new friends" again.

So Shyanna, a little girl from church, was turning 2 and what a celebration she had.

Big thumbs up for her mum Jess who put on a real fantastic themed party.

Idea was to dress in black and red and everything was "ladybugs"!

Painting Fun!

With the colder day's when we can't go outside,

we have found painting to be the next bext thing.

Ma Ma made this big bright smock for Lexie and it works great!

Painting with water is so much cleaner!

Sandpit Fun!

Well finally Lexie has something interesting to play with outside.

A sandpit.

Nathan made it out of a couple of railway sleepers and sand from the farm.

Thank you Ma and Pa!

Lexie was excited to use her new sand toys as Tyson ate the others.

Let the fun begin!!

Creating a flat surface for the castle and filling the bucket The careful art of tipping it out..... Walllarrr!

"Stay castle, stay"

A very happy sandpit player!

Mum and Dad Visit!

Mum and Dad got a taste of the retirement life by taking a road trip to visit us in July.

We had a great time with them and tried to jam pack as much as possible into their stay. l didn't get alot of proof of the stay but we have alot of "video" footage.hahaha and of course memories

On the first day we literally took a drive down memory lane.

We went to Finley for the day with a short stop at Tocumwal along the way to see the "big fish" and old park we would play at. (Old picture of the big fish) Whilst Mum and Dad were here Mum celebrated another year wiser. We celebrated with Mum's brother and his wife from Melbourne (Trevor and Heather) ,old friends from Griffith (Mike and Audrey) and Ma and Pa all coming across for a dinner and cake. Lexie of course needed to taste test before eating! Two mighty big puffs and the candles were out

Lexie with her very precious grandmothers!

The proud "grandies" with their princess!

The rest of the trip consisted of a day trip to Bendigo for shopping.

An afternoon along the Port of Echuca eating ice-cream and of course looking at the shop's.Nath and Dad going to hardware and blokey shop's whilst us ladies shop and just general relaxing and enjoying eachother's company, ah nice!

Thanks for coming Nanny and Poppy,
