Time for a catch up

Life has been hectic to say the least and it has been MONTHS since Ive updated..

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.

May- We went to the Hawkesbury Show with Brent and Tori.

It was also Mothers Day and went went to Sizzler for dinner.  Went to Wollar to do some MORE emptying of the property and dropped in to see Kris and the girls on the way home. Brent has been working with Kym and he brought himself a motorbike. Won another game of Unreal Golf. Tori was invited to Kane's birthday party at Kidabout and I FINALLY got to hold Thye when he finally came home from hospital. I got reading glasses.

June- Brent did his upright course and passed for his motorbike licence. Another visit to see Kris and the girls. Spent the day with Sharni. Brought a new lounge at long last.

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

I LOVE my family :0)

Family Update

I'm updating my craft blog all the time and yesterday I looked across and noticed it had been MONTHS since I was on here sp I thought I better update. No, I'm not going to post TONS of photos just a STACK of collages..lol

Still in 2010..

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..

I also managed to get photos of the FAB FIVE as well as the new additions to our family :0)

Then we jump to 2011 and January found a few family memories..

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..

February was a fairly quiet month but I did manage to go out for a Girls Night Out with some of the fab mums I've made friends with from Tori's school, as well as Cathy's baby shower and Clawdia had 2 kittens.

March was busy again but two of the highlights were..

Natalie's 30th birthday at Mum & Dad's. I managed to get away for the weekend with the wonderful friends I made through Playvan, Kerrie and Francis (Thanks to Kerrie for providing her van :0)

It's times like these I reflect back and think my life's not sooo bad. I'm extremely grateful that I've managed to spend so much time with family and friends...

Here's to the rest of my wonderful life, thanks for dropping by :0)

Christmas Day

First Christmas in ages we had all the family together for christmas dinner...best gift EVER!!!

Tori and Annalise Christmas Photos

Here's a couple of photos I took of my youngest daughter Tori and my niece Annalise that I am going to make snowglobes out of for my sister and mum...

Hope that you all had a wonderful Xmas and that 2011 brings you all you could wish for...

Updates

well what has happened since my last update???

LOADS but here's just a few tidbits...

Brooke has graduated from Year 12 and Tori and I went to the ballet

Halloween.. we celebrated our first Halloween where we actually had trick or treaters coming to the door and Tori could trick or treat around our own neighbours... the joys of living in suburbia again, lol

My Baby's Babies

since moving in to our house we haven't been up to much as everyone's been sick. 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..

I Love you guys :0x

We're In....

...our new house that is..

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.

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.

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.

All in all, everything is going well...
