Alicias big day.

Alicia did such a great job today with her Primary presentation and dance recital all in one day.  She said her scripture off by heart and looked so beautiful.  Then rushed off to her dance recital it really was rushed one hour to get ready..but lecy did great and we made it on time and she looked great and had fun dancing. 

Halloween Party

Halloween 2009 - Great friends, great food, really cute kids , great night. Eliza wouldnt keep her wig on ...but she did keep her top down :)

Alicia turns 6

Alicia had a great birthday , she was so excited about her party she had her outfit all ready the day before and chose it hersef. All day I heard " How long til its time for my party". It finally came and she had so much fun with all her friends from school. Alicia is growing up to be a sweet , creative girl and caring friend to others.

Her party was the day before her actual birthday, then on her birthday she played and played with all her presents , She dressed up like a moxie girl doll and played with her moxie doll and guitar with Tyler like little rockstars singing in there microphones. For Lecys birthday dinner she asked for" Breakfast for dinner" that daddy made special with a heart pancake just for the birthday girl. Lecy made smoothies for everyone with her new Fruit factory.

Even after her actual birthday there was more when a fedex box came from nema and tepa in the mail waiting for her after her first day back at school.....she just loved everything in her suprise birthday package especially her very own HSM lock up diary.

Lecy we love you and are glad you had a great birthday.

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.

Crazy sisters...normal mum ...they must take after their dad i guessyes definetly their dad

daddy's girls..Tyler was asleep and missed photo time with dad...Im sure he planned it that way :)

He woke up a happy boyEliza still does this funny face and knows she is being funny too.

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.

the kids showing there soccer skills
A very pregant kate and nath.
Two cute cousin eliza and annie

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.
