Fun with La

Fun was on the agenda when we ventured up to Sydney. And lots of fun was had! Two Cheeky Monkeys played well together, albeit with some sharing issues at times!!
So much fun we will do it all again in a few weeks!



Our cheeky monkeys themselves

No. 1

No.2


The cubby house was a hit and our order has been put in with the manufacturer as we speak!

Visitors

We were very lucky to have Nath, Julz, Lexie & Mitchell come and stay with us for the weekend. To make sure everyone caught up, it was on for young and old at our house!



Steve with his littlest nephews, Will and Mitchell

Lexie was happy to see Jack - giving him a big funny smooch!


the biggest and littlest chatted together in the kitchen whilst...


the three cheeky monkeys played together in the lounge



After Matt, Kara, Jack & Will visited it was time to read the Stock Journal with Uncle Nath and get ready for Mama and Pa!
Thanks everyone for a great weekend!

New toy

Now that all their girls are grown up and too big to use it, our extended family in the Rodert's were kind enough to give us their swing set. Toby thinks it is the best thing ever and not a day goes by without him having a swing or a slide. The usual cry now you will hear from the backyard is "Mum......Mum........ MUUUUUUM! .......more please Mum"

It's been a bit wet lately....

With all the rain we have had in the past couple of weeks, the Moot Yang Gunya Swamp is starting to fill up. It has been a while since we have seen this happen and quite frankly it is just beautiful.


The bridge (near where we were married)


the creek running into the swamp

Jimmy's Waterhole now filling


looking out into the swamp and beyond


Jack turns 2, Pa turns......

We ventured over to Matt & Kara's for a birthday tea for two special boys in our family - Jack turned a big 2 and Pa.....well he just had a birthday!

Kara's masterpiece - one tractor pulling another out of a bog......
sounds familiar!

'is my hat on straight?'


Jack making sure each candle is lit....


.....even trying his hardest they still didnt go out!!


Mitchell and Nathan's big day

We travelled to Echuca to join Nathan and Mitchell on their special day, Mitchell being dedicated and Nathan being Baptised. We had a great time with them all!



beautiful boys
(bit grey around the edges there Nath!) hehe


A special statue that Julz got Nath, awww

And here's something you dont see very often.....
PDA - honestly people get a room!!! :)


BIG 13

Our dear 'Horace' Sophie turned thirteen on Friday the 13th, so what better way to celebrate than have 13 friends over for some spooky fun!


Maddie and Toby played inside.....

....whilst outside in the cellar the girls had spooky treats


and what did they eat?? Spiders of course!
