The Love of Ice cream

Who else would get this excited and messy about an Ice-cream ...but our chubby beautiful Eliza.

Alicias New Look

Alicias wore her new glasses today and just loves them. She wore them to school and one of her friends said" I like your glasses can you get me some"and her other friends treated her like a celebrity ,all of them asking questions and looking at her "do they really help you see better" i guess she is the only one in her class that wears glasses.. Alicias teacher gave me a good report home and said she really changed today by helping, listening and cooperating in class, She even told her teacher that because she wore glasses now she would be a good girl in class.
Alicia you are really cute in your glasses and im glad you can see the world a little clearer now.


Eliza wants to be just like her big sister and wear glasses too.

Our last day at the beach with Nema and Tepa

SunbakingTyler sulking when we told him he couldnt push the lifeguards board into the water

On the last day of there vacation did this gma and gpa stay home and pack...no way. Stephanie had hans out with her at 7 in the morning ready to play tennis...which didnt work out...i guess everyone else in sydney plays tennis on saturday mornings too.
Then when they got back we were off to cronulla beach for there last sun . We were back by lunch and ready to go to the airport and hour later. When your around stephanie and Boyd "you can do it all". We had a great time and really miss them.. Not to worry though Tyler collects change and puts it in his pocket and is getting all the money he can to buy a plane to drive to nema and tepas house...we will be there in no time at all.

Tyler and Tepa are good buddies ...Tyler went everywhere with Tepa and Hans

countdown til Nema and Tepa are here

3 weeks ago we made this how to be a happy family chain with 21 links on it..It is our countdown chain til nema and tepa get here, so the kids have been taking a link off everyday and i cant believe there is only 3 more to go and the last one says Give nema and tepa hugs. We are really excited for Nema and Tepa to come visit us, just hope you can handle this heat....of course you can with the beach or a water pistol fight with tyler.
Eliza nd Tyler are so excited they are clapping about it.

Alicias First Day at Big School

So it is here Alicias first day of school. I had so many plans for this day and what happens...Eliza throws up since 5 in the morning and we are late not too bad 8.50 instead of 8.45. Hans couldnt stay home and had to leave before 8. Tyler walks out with no shoes and his shorts on backwards. Eliza looks white as a ghost and alicia is so excited she would of driven herself if she could have.

Alicia and her friends from church Liana and Havannah

She looked really cute , hans loves how cute she looks in her uniform. Alicia was very anxious to get in her classroom, almost forgot to kiss me goodbye then came back to kiss Tyler goodbye (that is when i could of cried ....but i didnt). Oh I'm not sad but realize this is it, this is the beginning of many many school years.


When i picked her up from school at 2.45 i don't think i have ever seen her look so tired and flushed from the heat. She said she had a good day , made some new friends both of there names were madison, got in trouble only a little bit but put her hand up when she wanted to talk.
Tyler was really cute (before he also started being sick all day) everything he ate or drank he would save some or half and say "This is Alicia when she came home". Alicia is really excited for her Nema and Tepa to pick her up from school next week.
