Sydney Weather Today

The top picture I found online. You can find better pictures at www.ninemsn.com.au the other pictures are of our cars out the front yard and of our back yard. When we woke up at 6:30 it was really Orange like the top pictures and around 7:30 when we took the pictures the Orange had died down.

I just thought it would be fun to show you a little crazy Australian weather. For those of you that know Australian geography, there was also two earthquakes in Melbourne last night and storms in both Sydney and Brisbane.

sunday photos

It has been along time since we have updated our blog. So i have put three new posts on . These photos are from yesterday before and after church, the kids looked so cute in there summer clothes and it was a beautiful hot summer day in spring. Of course i had to get the camera out....
My attempt for a photo before church...."Hey lets not look at mum and the camera"....sibling conspiracy against mum here.
Eliza may have some health issues , but she is pretty gifted to be able to sleep standing up... dont you think.

Hans and Naths birthday

I guess it is becoming tradition now that hans and nath's (our brother in law) birthdays are spent in Newcastle watching nath's team in his soccer Grandfinal. It is a fun day to be out as a family , the kids love being on a big field free to play where they want. Happy birthday hans we love you oh and nath we love you too.
Hans and nath opening there present...it doesnt look like it, but hans got a GPS ....unfortunatly it didnt make it in time and he just got a print out....alittle hard to be excited about a piece if paper i guess.

A very pregant kate and nath.

our climber

I guess Eliza didnt want to playing in her bedroom and wanted to be outside with Alicia and Tyler. We walked past her room and found her on top of the table banging on the window. She is one good climber doing that all by herself.....she also fell all by herself too about 2 mins later....but no damage done she got right back up there.

Disney On Ice

Hans Suprised us with tickets he got from work to Disney on Ice this week. It was a fun day Eliza dressed up as cinderella and Alicia dressed up as The little mermaid. Tyler was not looking forward too much to going because of all the princesses and girl stuff and no monsters...so he made sure he brought his light saber with him for the boys.

The naughty and loud little princess Eliza
Eliza and hans missed alot of the show because she was loud and kept saying dad dad dad dad and crying when she couldnt get down...so hans walked the halls with her.

Alicias eyes were glued to the show the whole time and tyler well he was trying to figure out how to get his seat to stay down most of the first half ...it was one of those seats that flip up when your not on them properly.



Alicia loved the show and her favourite princess was sleeping beauty because she is so pretty and cinderellas carriage and when the little mermaid became human.Tyler actually ended up enjoying the second half when the dragon from sleeping beauty came out and got his head cut off. He also really liked goofy (go figure mr goofy himself) and said he wanted to dress up just like goofy.
I loved it... thanks hans for taking us

Our Junior Masterchef Day

We have been watching "Masterchef " for the past few weeks and alicia really really likes it. So i told her we could have a little masterchef day with one of her friends and cousins. So Friday alicia asked havannah over and sophia...our other cousins were still sick.
So we started off by the kids making there own chef hats out of my scrapbook papers.... Then the menu was pigs in blankets and cupcakes with piped icing and sprinkles.
They had a fun afternoon and were so hyper and giggly from all the sugar and food coloring. These Junior Masterchefs just need to learn how to do the dishes now..the kitchen was so so messy.It was a good afternoon and end to the school holidays.

Tyler concentrating on his pipingSome for the cupcake and some for me....nobody wanted the blue icing after tylerSophia went a little crazy on the sprinklesThe minichefs enjoying there masterpeices.

The race

It was a beautiful warm winter day today ...the kids played outside all day and loved it. Alicia being the oldest always seems to be the one with the ideas, so her idea today was to have a race on there bikes down the side of our house . They looked so cute all lined up even if eliza didnt know what was going on. After a few times up and down the strip doing there own thing, alicia said" tyler you can be the winner". "Ready set go when my bell rings" alicia saidEliza was in the lead with her no hands tricksThen it turned into more of a stroll then a race...meanwhile eliza trying to steal whatever tyler had in the back of his bike. The bike riders:Tough Eliza



Bossy but sweet aliciaGoofy and the winner (because his sister said so) TylerLecy said "me and tyler just wore out eliza she just parked her bike and fell asleep on the floor just like that"
