what's new????

Puddy has been really busy lately working on the regional 'Pride and Predjuduce Ball'. We barely see her! she made this awesome chandelier which is going to be covered with fairy lights. I'll have to get some pics of the finished product. uncle Ank has been to visit too. Scarlett has been hanging out with him and had great fun as you can see! Its raining lots today which is great for our garden. we're on level three water restrictions which means no hoses. Just watering everything with watering cans. I washed the car yesterday with buckets! fun! I'm hoping some of the water gets caught in the dams. I am excited about going to the movies tonight with my friend Sam. Nicks babysitting! It'll be good to get out on the weekend instead of being stuck at home watching DVDs.

sam and lily

We visited Sam and Lily on Tuesday. Lily is about two and a half months younger than Scarlett. Since that tooth has come through Scarlett has taken a liking to rusks. Yum! Yum!

cherry cheeks

We visited Aunty Shell and Elina last Friday. Look at those red cheeks. I think teeth are not far away! Scarlett cut her first tooth (bottom right) a couple of days ago. Very exciting!!

soccer star

This is the Elite mens soccer team. Nick has had to play goalie a few times. Here is the star!!! They are not actually doing well this year. I think they should have stayed in division three. Anyhow Nick loves playing.Has a new injury every week....boys are a lot rougher than girls! i just realised that the team photo is last years. Most of the players are the same.

mermaid

Found this picture of Ava. I think julia dressed her up as a mermaid and took some pics! Cool hey!

soccer blues

Pud and I played soccer yesterday against West End. We played an awesome first half. We got the first goal but unfortunately they got one after the ball deflected off our girls legs. They also got another goal.....no skill involved on their part though. On the way to the car we walked passed the m and overheard them talking about how they had whipped our little buts. I wish I had a little but!! Not looking forward to playing them again. They were not friendly girls! last week we played a really lovely team called Westminster. We were lucky to win against them in the rain!

grandpa's birthday

Scarletts own soccer ball

We sent grandpa a card with this picture on the front. I tried out chels trick!

This is what we sent grandpa. Scarlett is making sure they are suitable!

golD coasT

On Thursday we went on a family outing to the Gold Coast. Scarlett had a picnic at broardbeach on the grass and then Nick and I had some yummy food at a cafe down the road. Silly me didn't take any pics of the beautiful beach!!!

HORRAy FOr THe HIGh CHAIr

Like our new high chair? and that cheeky grin?

BIG BLUE BALL

BIG BALL

Scarlett loves playing with the big ball!

On Sunday morning we couldn't decide which socks Scarlett should wear to church so we thought maybe she should wear one of each.....and she did! No one said a word about them. I wonder how many people actually noticed? Which ones would you have picked?

out and about

On Saturday Scarlett and I went to the soccer with Nick who thought he might have to fill in as goalie. It turned out they didn't need him so he took the linesman position instead. Scarlett's buddy Ashton was on the sidelines too. Scarlett wanted Ashtons handbag but he wanted it too!! We found out she has also become facinated with grass! Even though Scarlett can't crawl properly she is very good at getting where she wants to go!





On Friday Scarlett and I went to visit Emily Alfred. Emily is having a baby in December. We got to have lunch and look at her new house. Its a nice queenslander with beautiful floorboards. I love floorboards! I served with Emily in young womens.......but sadly they have moved out of the ward. She is a teacher too!!

havin a drink with me mate

Sarah and Jason Kay came over for tea with their baby Ashton last Friday night. Nick has been interviewing some people for his thesis on sea change and risk. Ashton as you can see is a big boy! I remember when Jay said Ashton was about one and a half kilos heavier than Scarlett. I said "no way!" but when I picked him up boy was he right! These pics are soooo cute. Ashton was a bit stroppy that evening so Scarlett didn't get a good play with her friend. One of her other boy friends Laughlan was giving her kisses at play group on wednesday. I will have to catch it on camera next time!!

big night out

Nick and I finally got to go out together without the mooch last Saturday night. Pud finally had some spare time to babysit. That's my sister if you didn't know who lives with us. We went to Nick's uncles 60th. It was so great to be able to get out and Scarlett usually goes to bed around seven and sleeps right through so we thought there wouldn't be any problems. Well.........not this saturday night! Pud called me and said Scarlett was sreaming and wouldn't go to sleep. Just before the cake we had to run and put the bub to bed. I was so disapointed! Scarlett was so tired when we got home that she just fell asleep in my arms.

You can see how my hair turned out too. Mum put some blonde in my hair when she was up and I kind of had to have it fixed up!!!!

sick baby

Scarlett has had a cold the poor little thing. Her nose was blocked and she wasn't breathing well at night. We were able to borrow a vapouriser which really helped......Thanks Michelle!!

ALMOST

A few weeks back I caught Scarlett experimenting getting up on her knees in the cot. Ever since she has been getting up and rocking. Soon..... you know what!!
