10 Pin Bowling

As an adult it's easy to forget the excitment of your first bowling experience. William was invited to Riley's birthday party which was at AMF Bowling. Caitlin came along too, and by golly they had some good old fashioned fun!

Both the kids absolutely loved it and continue to beg to go back again. They didn't do too bad either on the score front. Not too many in the ditch!

It's all about those sexy shoes really!

Toy Story 3

Still in the holidays, and it was decided that it was time to take William to the movies for the very first time! Toy Story 3 was showing, and Connor, Shanice and Kylie came too.

The kids decided to sit in the row in front of us 'oldies' which was fine as we could keep an eye on them.

At some stage during the movie, Will got a bit restless and had a walk around the dimly lit cinema. This wasn't a problem as it was a kids movie and there were heaps of little ones there making noise and the like.

Wasn't a problem until William came running down the aisle yelling 'run away... run away'... it was a bit naughty and a bit funny all at the same time.

Still, all the kids were really well behaved and I will be taking them back. It didn't scare me off lol.

Big Day Out with the Sydney Swans

In the July school holidays, the Sydney Swans had a day for sponsors kids. As Russ works for MSA who is a major sponsor, we had 2 very excited kids up early and ready to go on the 6th of July!

Caitlin and Will had an absolutely ball (excuse the pun)! They loved everything about the entire day, and it was made even more special by getting their hats signed by assorted players afterwards!



Caitlin is just about to kick the ball in this shot. It was hard to get photos of them on the ground.



Of all the activities they did, both kids agreed that 'speckys' were the best!

BOG 4th of July!

On the 4th of July William received the Best On Ground award at AusKick. He was so pleased with himself and held on to that trophy day and night for the week that he had it!

Cousins Calling

We were so lucky to have Andrea, Jess and Grace come to visit. And the added bonus was Poppy and Granma came the same weekend too.

That meant Poppy and Granma had all their grandkids in the same place for the first time in years!

One of the best things, the main attraction really, is Poppy....

Followed by comparing DS and iPod Touch games...

And then it's always a treat to go to church with Granma (even though they always come home saying it's boring!)...

I wish we could have more weekends like this. It was fantastic just hanging out and catching up with my beautiful nieces.

Love you girls xxx

Happy Birthday Miss Caitlin!

I know! I know! I have been a slacker on the blog front. It's not my fault. Honestly. It's my damn slow computer. It takes forever to upload photos... and then I kind of got busy with things... and then I realised that I hadn't even wished my baby girl a birthday wish here!

So... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS CAITLIN! For the 28th of June no less! I know you had a great one, and you are loving being 9!

You are so so so beautiful xxx
