Weekend Away

Since it was Mummy and Auntie Kita's Birthdays and also Mummy and Daddy's plus Uncle Roche and Auntie Kita's anniversaries recently they decided a weekend away to celebrate was in order.

They spent the weekend at a B & B just out of Murwillimbah, had a fantastic time and learnt a few important things...

1. The tables "out of towners" are seated at in restaurants are furthest away from the heaters and require hoods to be worn!

2. The best way to impress the wives is to get them a really HUGE bottle of wine like this to share with dinner.

3. Its always a good idea to inspect your food for strange ingredients...this item was at the bottom of Mummy's soup and luckily turned out to be ginger root.

4. When the hosts leave you some port out for a nightcap you can either drink it or use it to clean your bathroom sink. Both ideas were tried and the second seemed the better way to go!

5. Breakfast cooked by someone else tastes 1000 times better than the ones you cook yourself.

6. A hammock should be a mandatory piece of furniture.

7. Pretty girls enhance a pretty view!

8. Daddy and Uncle Roche will NEVER grow up! They are still torturing Mummy and Auntie Kita with the same jokes they told about 13 years ago. This pic was taken soon after having lunch at a restaurant "run by two men" and gave them much to discuss for the rest of the day.

9. Remember the EXACT spot Uncle Roche drank from so that the scientists can be directed there to test the water for whatever bacteria makes him sick.

10. Auntie Kita takes great pics of people in front of dam walls.

11. Mummy doesn't! In fact her dam picture should be damned! Where's the water Mummy??

12. Shetland ponies are so cute.

13. Everyone should wake up to a view like this at least once.

14. Its pretty easy to see why someone would want to live in these gorgeous mountains (which BTW is the largest volcanic crater in the world).

15. Mummy is able to take a decent photo sometimes...

16. Auntie Kita's pics are consistently good.

17. Uncle Roche has proved that he is very good at pouring a good glass of Moet.

18. Mummy and Auntie Kita are total champions at drinking it!!!!

Happy Birthday Mummy!

It was Mummy's Birthday recently and we had fun helping her to celebrate it.

Here we are having a birthday pic with Mummy before going out for dinner on her Birthday.

Aren't we handsome?

Hey...someone told me Auntie Pam was cooking a big yummy turkey dinner for the birthday girls...where's mine????

Maybe if I sit in my chair it will appear?

Hooray it worked!! Yum yum, thanks Auntie Pam!

Everyone enjoyed the yummy turkey.

The three birthday girls and one handsome little dude.

Half a glass of wine each for the two Nannas and they've got the kids up and dancing.

School Holidays

School holidays are great but we have to keep busy so that we don't get bored. We played lots of games, visited friends, went to the movies, and watched TV. One of our favourite days was when we went to Queens Park and here are some pics to show you what fun we had.

The snakes were a big hit as you would expect.

We met a couple of sacry scarecrows up in the animal nursery.

The little piglet was cute and he could squeal almost as loud as Sam can.

Eating a vegemite sandwhich on a giant train is Will's idea of a great day!

Lots of climbing for Harrison.

Sam loved going on the slide and as soon as he hit the bottom he was pulling Harrison by the arm to get him to take him on again.

Fun x 3!!!

The flying fox was great fun too!

Guinea Pigs

As you all know, Snowy and Barry had some babies recently. They are growing very quickly and are now nearly 5 weeks old.

They were a big hit for "Show and Tell" at school.

Sam has really enjoyed cuddling and playing with them.


Sassy on Daddy's hand.

Barry got on very well with his "kids" when they were introduced.

The three brothers ready for breakfast.

Chester, King and Minipig.

Snowy and Sassy share some corn. (This is the closest Mummy is likely to get to ever having a baby girl we think!)

Chester has some fun in the tunnel.

Snowy loves to come over to you for a scratch under the chin.

Harrison's new room

I'm really excited everyone! For the past year I have been sharing my bedroom with a pesky critter that most of you call "Will". Well Mummy and Daddy finally finished my new room and it's all MINE. It's so great having a place to put all my important things and know that they will not be touched or destroyed. Here I am on my first night in my very own room.

Here's a little friend of mine that was living in my cubby house...I took about 50 photos of him on Mummy's camera and this is my favourite.

Sam, Sam, Our Little Man!

If you haven't seen me in a while I am REALLY growing up fast now.

Here I am jumping on my mini tramp. I'm not sure why the handle is there as I really prefer not to hold onto it!

All that jumping requires a lot of energy so sometimes one bowl of cereal just isn't enough and I have to finish off my brothers' bowls as well!

I still love my dummy (or dumma as I call it) and quite frankly sometimes one of those isn't enough either!
