New Year Farm Fun!

Well the time had came to say goodbye to one side of the family.

But never mind,it was time to set off to the next lot for New Year Fun!

New Year's Eve and the two little muffets in the bath after our a night out

Afternoon's were warm, so just the perfect time for the spray gun's

Between La La and the sprinkler,Toby was quite wet.

No trip to the farm is complete without a "bush bash" in the Ute

Lexie praying we make it to Matt's birthday dinner in one piece,very bumpy

Pre-Christmas Family Fun!

So before Mum and Dad arrived we had all the "Smith" sibling's and their children together.

It made for alot of fun and alot of activities. Six children from 20mths-6yo made never a quiet moment or tidy house,

but that's the joy of family at Christmas and we wouldn't change it for the world.

Under the circumstance's the children did really well.Change of weather and daylight was challenging but we have all survived to tell the tales!

Moments of peace were when all were eating, so adorable though

L-R Zachary,Isaac,Javan,Ryan,Lexie and Zara

To fill in the day's we had activities,

drawing's this day and this is Zara's cafe picture

Ryan and Lexie had a joint effort but l think they had Aunty Lyce help too.. Self portrait of lsaac ,getting him to lay still whilst Anna traced him was a laugh, and Javan draw his new dinosaur and tough man toy's,well done!

We had alittle belated birthday celebration for Ryan 4, Lexie 3 and lsaac 2 one night,

Zachary loving his daddy's hat

So the weather was warm and the pool was a God send, alot of afternoon's were spent in there and it was a good way to get the children to nap before hand.

Night time stories on the lawn with Uncle Nay

Zachary loved Tyson and l think it was appreciated, poor Tyson put up with alot

Alway's on a winner with Ryan and Zachary with "Smith's chip's" and Poppy

Baby Joey 31wks!

So before the Christmas "pig-out", l thought it might be good to take a picture of the bump and the very loving "big" sister!

Summer Fun!

So the last couple of weeks have been busy for us.

With Christmas party's, and alot of catch-up's with friend,it's been nice to be enjoying the summer sun.

We had a lovely overnight visit from Ma and Old Pa and just spent it eating yummy slice and chilling out. Pa did well with walks to the park and all that Lexie had for him in "her Echuca" In between all the chatting that Lexie did,Old Pa was able to read Lexie the Christmas story and catch some one-on-one time with her.

With the heat around Nath has set up the pool so that more fun can be had....

All during Christmas!
