Bathtime...

How cute do these three look in the bath. Of course Xavier had to have a shower cap too! He was so proud of himself when I put it on him.

Looks like the girls are up to no good, devising a plan of some description.

Tilly & Georgie

Tilly got to have a play with her sister today. She and Georgie had a ball. Georgie is more like a lab with the black markings on her face where as Tilly has the Retriever's brown colourings. I think they are both too cute!







Micks Vege Patch


Mick is very proud of his vege patch, we are now starting to pick lots of goodies, cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, radish and the snow peas are almost ready. I have been banned from the snow peas I have a tendency to eat them before they make it inside! The first pic is about a month ago the other two I took this morning.

















Xavier and Mozzie bites...

Look at Xavier's reaction to Mozzie bites. He swells up so much his poor little ear was actually facing forwards from the bite.






Trampoline Kids




The kids have been loving the holidays we thought these faces were pretty cute they were all pressing their faces against the net. Once I got the camera out Xavier stopped doing it.

Beauty and Tinkerbell









Beauty and Tinkerbell are the new Guinea Pigs. The 45 degree heat sent the other two (Sporticus and Stephanie) to the animal heaven. I felt very guilty as Sophie had wanted to bring them inside as it was so hot and I said no they will be fine.

The Fence

Here is the famous fence, finally. We are really happy with how it turned out, we did it all by ourselves too. It makes so much difference compared to what was there. Just finishes everything off, although Mick has told me no more major projects for a while his idea of major and mine seem to be quite different!

Holidays....

We had a great Christmas and lots of time together as a family which was lovely. We got a new puppy which is great, her name is Tilly and she is growing very fast.

This was here when we first got her....




















Mick only went back to work this week. We went to Phillip Island and stayed at Cowes. When down there we went to see the penguin parade which was very busy. About 3800 people cram in to see the penguins come back to their burrows. We were lucky enough to get to pat a baby penguin in the day time. The marine biologists (who was extremely cute! I got to perv on him while Mick kept his eyes occupied with sunbathers in bikini's) was there weighing all the chicks and seeing what ones had hatch etc and he let us pat one. I didn't take my camera in as it said no camera were allowed then the marine biologist said we could take pictures in the day time. So my phone camera isn't very good but here are a couple of pics.





















We finished the railing around the deck and put up a new fence between the shed and the deck, it looks like a new back yard. I'll add some pictures of the new fence tomorrow, you can see bits of the old scadgy fence here! The new one looks super.













We also went to the Zoo, the girls took most of the pics but here are some of the kids with the animals!















































Emily turned 6......











Yes I know I have been very slack. Here are some pictures of our little girls sixth birthday. She had a great time with her school friends at her party then she had her family party on the weekend....she can't wait until she starts in Grade 1.
