Then yesterday found me looking at my blog again and decided, why not. So after sending this morning making collages again... here it is.... 2016<br />
<br />
January, my birthday. Kris and the family came down so it was extra special. Tori finally got to go on the Sydney Skycoaster at Wet'n'Wild with dad and last minute she decided to change school and went to Kingswood Park Primary school for her last year in Primary. There was also a new addition to our family, the beautiful Miss Georgia xx<br />

February was a quiet month. Tori was loving the shorter distance to school which meant she got to walk to school and ride her scooter. It also found us at our first home game of the footy season. Also Happy birthday to Ashlee xx We also got a new addition to the family, the wonderful Miss Raven :)<br />

October found Kym in the local paper after a home game. Tori had her Book Week parade at school where she also performed her dance routine with the rest of the group.

Decemeber. Always our busiest month. Tori and I went on a class excursion on a harbour cruise and we also took Georgia to her first RSL Xmas Party. Tori Graduated Year Six and had lots of things going on. We also went back to Brooke & Matts for Xmas dinner as it was Georgias first and her first Santa Photo wasn't a success lol. To wind up the year we continued the tradition and headed to Julie's to see in 2017.<br />

September is our big birthday month with both Brent and Tori having birthdays. Brent's was extra special as he turned 21. We also found out that "Sunny"was a girl and we were very lucky that my friend Suzy let us stay at her van down the coast for a week :)<br />

I think October is one of Tori's favourite months. we had a hot spell and went to the river with Matt & Brooke a few times. Met up with Nat and co at Oktoberfest. Tori went on her school camp to Canberra and she also participated in Public Speaking Championships with school. B ut her fave time of year has to be trick or treating on Halloween :)<br />

November found Tori deciding to cut off all her hair, enjoying the Meet the Players Breakfast and getting another overhaul at the dentists. Highlight of the month would have to be Brooke's baby shower. Happy birthday to Kym :)<br />

December found us with all the usual end of year activities for school. We helped Matt & Brooke celebrate their first xmas lunch thrown at their house and got to spend NYE with Julie and the family.<br />
<br />
2015 was full of ups and downs as usual and some downs could have broken us but in the end I am in awe of this fabulous bunch of people that surround me and am very blessed to have them in my life.Ginnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11075721396916303283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766614056710236661.post-45339225244516749842015-01-23T16:14:00.000+11:002016-12-08T10:37:27.903+11:002014I had been tossing around whether or not to continue this but it's a nice visual for me to wrap up our years at a glance. So after fighting with Picasa I have made a few collages for the months, even though it wouldnt add some photos :(<br />

January was a busy month. Brent came off a motorbike and ended up in hospital but thankfully was fine. We took a day down the coast to go to Symbio Wildlife Park and the beach. School holidays saw us at Wet'n'Wild, Bingo, the Maritime Museum, Sand Sculptures, Erth's Dinosaur Zoo. Australia Day was spent at Australiana Pioneer Village and then Tori went back to school.<br />

February we we doubly blessed to see the munchkins TWICE :) We went and visited and then the boys (and mum and dad) came to visit so we could do the Colour Run. Tori also had her swimming carnival and we also did a tour out to Shark Island where we did some snorkelling<br />

April was a great month. We got to spend some time at a friends house down the South Coast and even though the weather was crappy for most of the time and we had no electricity it was great to get away. We then came home picked up Brooke & Matt and then headed over to Nan's for a quick visit and then came home via Dubbo for a visit with the munchkins.<br />

May found us at the one year anniversary of Pops passing. We wrote on a balloon and sent it to him. Was the strangest thing, we kept sight of it all the way up until it looked like it was stuck on the edge of a cloud for the longest time. Tori said granddad was reading it :'( We also went on a school excursion to Minnamurra Falls, Kym did his V8 driving experience at Marulan that I brought him for Xmas and we went to Vivid with extended family<br />

The other 2 photos are a dinosaur exhibit at Westfields and Tori at her athletics carnival.<br />

September is a big month for birthdays for us and Tori had her at a pool this year. Kris and Adi also came down for her birthday which is just before Brent. They went out on a harbour cruise for the day and Brent had a car accident which he wouldnt let stop him from having a party. We went out to Brooke's work at a chicken farm so Tori could see the baby chicks and we spent the weekend at the snow with a stop at the Dinosaur Museum in Canberra for our little paleontologist.<br />

What a year. Shame Picasa wouldn't play nice and add all the photos but despite a couple of awful moments, for the most part, 2014 was good to us and hope 2015 brings us together just as often :)Ginnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11075721396916303283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766614056710236661.post-37399869966595486582014-02-08T14:33:00.001+11:002016-12-08T10:37:51.896+11:00The Last Six Months of 2013<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

September was FABULOUS. We got to take our first cruise and it was to the South Pacific. We had 7 stops in 3 countries- New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji. We discovered a mutual love of snorkeling and spent a LOT of time in the ocean. It was absolutely glorious and can't wait for our next one. Tori got to spend her birthday at a resort in Suva, Fiji :)<br />

December, as always, was a busy month. School activities were an excursion to The Rocks, school disco, Presentation night and Tori also received a Silver Award. Christmas activities included Mischief coming to visit, touring the Christmas Lights in various suburbs, RSL Xmas party and of course Xmas dinner with the family. Wet'n'Wild opened in Sydney and we got season passes and we finished out the year with a bang wathing the fireworks at Panthers.</div>

We have had additions to the family and the realisation that some family is lost. Happiness at my sons engagement and sadness at my daughters broken heart. Today, this moment, all is well with me and my loved ones and I hope that carries on through 2014 & beyond. This years set to be a big one with my 25th wedding anniversary and my 30th school reunion</span></div>

Besides the few downs we had with illnesses and accidents 2012 was a good year with lots of time spent with the people that matter most in our life. Here's hoping 2013 will be even better....</div>

Brent got jumped by some guy he didn't know and ended up in hospital overnight and Brooke got to meet Chopper Reid. Halloween was good this year with Kym taking Tori to St Marys so she could trick or treat with Julie and Co and we also took Ashley trick or treating around our neighbourhood. Tori had lots of fun with Kane and Lilljana at Build-a-Bear for Lillijana's birthday. Family fun found us at Dad's birthday, the park, at Cables and another fab day out boating with the Gatts :)<br />

November found Kym, Tori and I having a great day out- checking out the new Ikea at Tempe, then to the beach at La Perouse and finally to Port Botany to watch the planes landing. Kym had his 45th birthday. We got to meet Jaiden :) Tori had fun in friends pools and I had some great girls time with Sarah. Tori got the day off school for Melbourne Cup day and along with Brooke we spent the day at the Pioneer with Sarah & Lillijana to watch the races. Brent had a job trial which sadly didnt work out but all is not lost and he's back with Kym at work. And last but not least was my wonderful school reunion which I was really nervous about but has a BLAST!!! Cobby, Sharon and Anne all stayed the nite at mine and we were all up til 4am talking! Was WONDERFUL to see my "sistah from another mistah" and I was soooooo sad to see her go.<br />

December was extremely busy as usual.. We got a wonderful overnight visit from 2 of my brothers, Dane and Jake. Tori was really busy at school the last month as Class Gold ran the school assembly, they had Funky Fete Day, Christmas Disco, she won a prize at Red Faces, they had a picnic day and she also won an award at Presentation Day :) Lots of fun with Santas helpers leading up to Christmas Day and lots of Christmas Crafts and baking . We had a great day at the 2010 Class Gold Christmas party at Jackii's again and of course the wonderful Carols by Candlelight. Kym ripped up the kitchen tiles, Tori and I went to the park with the McCalls, and caught up with Rene and Jodie & co a few times. Spent several days getting personalised coke cans, watched Sharni get inked, went to Sarah's dress fitting, to name but a few things we did this month.<br />

Well this morning I <b>FINALLY</b> sat down to do it and realised what a <i>mammoth</i> task it was. At times I was tempted just to delete the bl**dy thing and start afresh but I persisted. I started reuploading all the photos for my posts on my craft blog and after doing just one years worth in the end I bit the bullet and ended up culling a LOT of posts (from 400 odd to exactly 100!!) 2011 posts have the photos but ones from previous years dont and I only kept the posts with important info like getting on DTs etc. Im not sure what to do about my personal blog as Id like to keep it because it has a lot of info of things we have done over the past 4 years but don't know if I am quite up to reuploading all those photos too yet :/Ginnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11075721396916303283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766614056710236661.post-39401178641083609582011-10-11T12:59:00.002+11:002012-01-05T15:31:41.410+11:00Another 3 months..<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">have gone by so it is time to update the old family blog.

<br />
April- Easter time and Tori had a ball with a parade at school, a win in the raffle and the bunny's Treasure Hunt. Family wise we had lunch in the park, went to Mia's baptism, the girls and I had lunch at Werrington Lakes and I finally got to meet my sister-in-law and niece when Zeke brought them up for a day trip. Brent took Tori and I out to dinner and later Tori and I went with Julie to the airport to pick up her kids and we also got to meet the wonderful Thye. Tori got a bronze award from school. I had another Girls Night out this time to Teppanyaki at Emu Plains and we went again as a couple with Julie & the rest of her clan.<br />

This is just a snipit of our life which at time's seems VERY hectic and at other times seems to crawl along.<br />
<br />

No, I'm not going to post TONS of photos just a STACK of collages..lol<br />
<br />
Still in 2010..<br />
<br />
We managed to have a wonderful family dinner with EVERYONE whilst the in-laws were visiting. These are the small blassings I am grateful for..<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
I also managed to get photos of the FAB FIVE as well as the new additions to our family :0)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Then we jump to 2011 and January found a few family memories..<br />
<br />
We had Mum and Dad, and Natalie, Scott and Annalise over to help me celebrate my birthday.. Then I managed to win a family pass to Unreal Mini Golf and Natalie and Annalise came along with us for lots of fun and laughter.. Australia Day found us celebrating with Dean and Josie at their house.Was wonderful to have ALL the family there. The next day I had to drop Brent up the coast for work so Tori and I took the opportunity to go to the Entrance. She had a ball swimming in the surf and the waterpark as well as watching the pelicans getting fed..<br />

<br />

I had a chest infection/athsma THREE times (thankfully got the all clear on pneumonia & whooping cough), Tori an ear infection and Brooke was at one stage thought to have glandular fever but ended up a REALLY bad case of tonsillitis. Hopefully all that is behind us now but a highlight was that me and my girls, got to spend a week with Kris and his girls. The girls are getting sooo big and I wish they lived closer so we could see them more often. The best part is now Maddy is older she remembers us between visits and runs up yelling "Mim, Mim" (worst part is when she rings crying coz she wants to come to our house :( We still have to empty our "country" house so hopefully more visits in the not too distant future..<br />

STILL trying to get this "quick" settlement done on the sale of our other house but the contracts still aren't right and we won't sign until they are.<br />
<br />
Everyone has settled in here well besides me being sick for WEEKS and then the kids, the house is starting to take shape and will be good when the sale goes thru and we can do some painting and buy some new furniture.<br />
<br />
Have had Kris and the girls down for 2 visits since we moved and is great for them to have their own room to sleep in.<br />

<br />
Kym was working at Taronga Zoo so we got snuck in to have a look at the new baby elephant and had a fab couple of hours (despite the rain)<br />

We also got to go to the Medieval Fayre again and watch the jousting. After Tori being terrified when she saw a basket of (fake) decapitated heads and hating the first hour or so there, we all had a fun day...<br />

We've also had Anzac Day but I thought I've inundated you with enough photos of Brent in uniform..lol Over the last couple of months I've been fortunate enough to have spent time with all the family..<br />
<br />
and lastly, after looking at 33 houses we found a house and we are now new home owners...(we are also in the process of selling our house to a coal mine so we now have 2 houses to pack into one)<br />

<br />
Had a bit of a scare here yesterday, was sitting watching TV and could smell smoke for a while, which isn't a strange thing down here and Tori ran in and said "Fire Mummy" to which I calmly replied "yeah I know" until she put out her hand and said "Come look" and yes there was a fire in the paddock next door to us. The winds were EXTREMLY high and blowing towards our house so I was a "little" panicked..until I noticed it already burnt through the fence and was getting close to the driveway..and the neighbours house..I ran down to see if they had anymore hoses but they were sorted as a passerby had stopped to help so I ran back to our house to ring 000 and get our hose out... Long story short 5 firetrucks later the fire was out and everyone/thing was safe..I got some photos but only after everything was settling down...I felt a bit funny last night but I think it was a combination smoke inhalation, ODing on my ventalin and shock...So Spring is here and the bushfire season is up and running with predictions it will be worse than last year :0(<br />
<br />
I'd LOVE to cut the 5 acre paddock right next to our house but don't feel like doing it with the push mower..lolGinnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11075721396916303283noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766614056710236661.post-49750651332640209452009-10-01T12:02:00.001+10:002012-01-05T17:05:53.948+11:00Our 20th Wedding Anniversary<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<br />
She had a MOSTLY wonderful day and was on cloud nine from the moment she woke up. She got a pretty bracelet from Brooke, then Daddy rang her from Wollongong, she then got to open her presents from us and Ash.<br />
<br />
Da rang her and then it was off to Preschool (where she had her first cake)<br />

She is LOVING Ash at the moment as he made all her cakes today. These were two yummy mudcakes he made, a big one for all the family and a little one just for Tori... she is also looking forward to having a cake at Playgroup tomorrow and Daddy bringing an icecream cake home with him on Friday!!!<br />

Nan also rang for her birthday and she is OVER THE MOON that Grandma and Nan n Pop Christiansen sent her money and keeps checking it's still in her wallet..lol<br />
<br />
Onto the only sad part of the day, just after she had her cake, she went into the bathroom to wash her face and slipped and hit her head on the edge of the bath...I think she had the HUGEST egg I have ever felt on the back of her head and it was a sad end to a fab day. The good news is that today she still has a bump on her head but nowhere near as scary and the first thing she said when she woke up is... "I'm still 5"!!!!!...lolGinnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11075721396916303283noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766614056710236661.post-33462581253863132442009-09-01T09:17:00.000+10:002012-01-05T17:18:33.637+11:00Brooke's Broke<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well 3 of her toes are..lol<br />
<br />
Saturday night she was mucking around with Tori and kicked the door...after seeing they were bleeding and sitting at a funny angle I rushed her off to the Drs and none were open so with dread we headed up to the emergency ward. We arrived about 6.30pm and when the nurse saw her foot she thought she thought maybe there was a dislocation and we were added to the "fasttrack" pile. 8.30 she got x-rayed, about 11.30 I was told there was still 6 people in front of her, at 12 we were told most of the Drs go home, at about 3.30 we were taken in to be looked at and she was finally put in a temporary cast at 4.30am!!!<br />
<br />
Apparently after 12 there is no fastrack and we went into a pile of 40 instead of 6...but there were people waiting 6, 7 or 8 hours just to be xrayed. There was a 3 year old girl vomiting blood who was told 10 hours..thankfully it wasn't that long, people started giving up and going home around 1 or 2..when we got in we were told there was a guy who got hit by a train and just the bone dr alone spent 6 hours working on him and thats why they were so far behind..so maybe we were "lucky" it was ONLY 10 hours!!!<br />

Anyway, yesterday we took her to the local doctor to get her full cast on. The first one had no support around the toes and the nurse had the nerve to get the s***s when I pointed out..her toes are broken, they need support...DUH!!! so off that one came and she put another one on. We were home for about an hour and noticed a crack around her ankle, rang the Dr and she said to come in tomorrow. Apparently, she wants us to complain to the Director so the nurse can get fired..but Brooke doesn't want that to happen!! Long story short, I have to go there today so I can get the referral letter from the hospital and Im going to take her to yet another Drs to get yet another cast!!!! as it has to be on 6-8 weeks and I don't think this one will last that long (it has cracked all the way around and the two halves move seperately!!)<br />
<br />
Anyway, enough complaining..Brooke had 2 days off and wanted to go to school today..they have exams soon and she doesn't want to miss anything important..Ginnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11075721396916303283noreply@blogger.com2
