memories

I was thinking about Tassie the other day and all the fun things we got up to on our holiday. (yeah, I havn't uploaded all my new photos!) We are excited to see grandma and grandpa at Easter time. We might get some cool pics then too! Here is Essie Poo with Scarlett at Kingston Beach. This was an amazingly hot day however the water was still freezing!


Aunty Puddy and Scarlett in the City. As I recall Scarlett threw a couple of tanties that day! I really like pud's hair in this pic. She has since had it coloured and cut.
Yum, Yum..........

Bongarong Park

Isn't this a cute pic of mum and dad. It was taken at a wedding where dad was in the wedding party! The fam took my camera to the wedding...
This is down at Uncle Deidre and Uncle Johns shack at Saltwater river. While the boys went fishing us girls went for a walk to the convict ruins. Very cool! That's Kate and Cristie our cousins with Scarlett and Ess.

Yay!....The girls went fishing and guess who caught the most fish?....I am sure it was ME!!!

Christmas day

We're back

Sorry everyone for my slackness! I have been a little run down after Christmas, so instead of jumping on the computer and blogging I have been sleeping! Here are some Christmas pics. I made a few concertina books for Christmas pressies this year. This is one I made of the cousins to keep at Nanny and Pa's.

The day after we arrived in Hobart Scarlett was spoilt with another party!!

Isabella Finilla and Scarlett playing....Here we are still waiting for Scarlett to start walking.

The cool 'S' cake the girls decorated.

the SCARLETT party

Scarlett had so much fun at her 1st birthday party. A little clingy to begin with but warmed up after a while. We had a full house! This is Scarlett blowing out her candle.

This is Scarlett opening her presents..... she was so spoilt!!

Jade Smallwood had a wonderful time playing with all the toys

Scarlett and Davina hangin out.

This is the red BEETLE cake!

Ummmmm..... this is what Nick was going to wear to the party before he realised he had another red top!

Aunty Shell and cousin Ava dressed in RED.

Madson and Ashton are having a wonderful time playing in the sandpit. I think all of the kids except for Scarlett had a play.

HAVEA MERRY CHRISTMAS

AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas! We have been sooooo busy preparing for Christmas and travelling to Tassie that we have not had time to update our blog. Got lots to share..... We didn't party too hard new years eve...just too tired!

merry christmas!

Scarlett thinks it is Christmas already! Yesterday she was shaking this present and today she ripped the paper off. Luckily it was for her! She hasnt touched any of the other presents under the tree so I think it is the bright colours that she is attracted to. All the others are plain.

For the first time Mooch started pushing the popping car. She walked back and forth until it got stuck and then I had to turn it around. She also took two steps by herself yesterday which was really exciting. Puddy and I witnessed the first steps!....she did it for Nick when he got home too so luckily he did not miss out!

play

ashton & scarlett

Scarlett and Ashton took turns on the little car, however scarlett was having so much fun she wanted to keep playing! The Kays are moving to Emerald which is a small town north of Brisbane so scarlett wont have many more opportunities to play with Ashton. Boo Hoo....

funny

CHINA DoLL

I had trouble getting Scarlett to smile in this photo. She wore this top to church on Sunday. Grandma and Grandpa brought it back from china. She looks pretty cute!

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS
