Wishing you all a fun day, from the Grim Reaper, Batman and Spiderman :) 

2009 Pignic

It was “pignic”time again a few weeks back and this year we took along two of Mummy’s favourites; Amaya and Panna Cotta.  We entered Amaya in the eating contest but she wasn’t too interested, too well fed at home!

0-60 in the blink of an eye…

60 short years ago a cute blue eyed baby was born and named Anthony.  He would come to be known as “Tony”. 

Many years passed and he grew into a most handsome lad and attracted the attention of a young lady named Jean.  They married and had 2 beautiful daughters. 

The eldest was particularly striking and probably should have become a film star but decided that Tony needed some grandsons in his life so she became a mother instead. 

Three Grandsons later Tony was glad he had been blessed with 2 daughters rather than sons and suddenly found he was 60 years old.  He decided to have a small gathering to celebrate and his three Grandsons were there to wriggle around on his lap whilst he tried to eat, blow out all the candles on the cake with a good degree of moisture, spill a few drinks and generally create chaos. 

Here are some pics of the happy event…

Fun with our friends Christopher and Tahlia…

Our friends Christopher and Tahlia came to visit a few weeks ago with their Mum and Dad; Kylee and Darren (Mummy and Daddy’s friends).   We had heaps of fun! We went 4WDriving up to Queen Mary Falls…here are some of the pics.
