One Proud Mummy

At the end of term assembly i was one proud mummy as both Nicholas and Zoe received an end of term award. These awards are given to only four students in each class.

Nicholas received his for Being a conscientious, hardworking student who strives to do his best at all times.

Zoe received hers for Striving for excellence in all areas of her school life.

Nicholas was actually shocked that he got one, god love him

Zoe was wrapped to get her award.

Celebrity for a day

We went to the Moss Vale show a few weeks ago and a photographer asked if he could take photos of Nicholas and Zoe. He wanted to know what they liked about the show. Zoe said that she liked the art as she had a drawing in the art exibit at the show of bushfires and Nicholas said that he liked the horses as we had just finished watching the dressage. They had a ball at the show.

A few weeks later this was in the Southern Highlands News newspaper. They are wrapped.

Happy Birthday Kym

Today is one of my dear friends Birthdays. I have known Kym a very long time and even though she lives on the other side of Australia she is one of my dearest.Kym we hope you have the best Birthday ever. We love and miss you heaps always in our thoughts

Go Mitta!!

Nicholas is now donning the green and gold and playing Rugby League for Mittagong Lions. He loves his new team and has made some friends already which is great. Nicholas has a great coach and trainers. Nic's confidence has gone through the roof which is wonderful and watching him tackle is amazing he has come a long way since last year and i think a new coach is what he needed. Cannot wait to watch his games throughout this season.All i can say is Go Mitta!!

Rachel's Hens Day

Rachel's hens day started at my house for a champagne breakfast and a few games. Then we were on a bus into Sydney to Randwick races. It was a great day with Rach having a ball. These are just a few photos from the day.

The Boys

On the 7th Feb this year Craig had his bucks day. These are just a few photos of Col and Scott ready to go. Col had to goin his best vinnies outfit and Scott had to go as a dead celebrity so he went as Steve Irwin.

The new school year has begun

Nicholas ad Zoe have started their new school this year. I cannot believe Nic has gone into year five, where have all the years gone and Zoe is no longer an infant and she is wrapped with that as well.

Zoe has settled really well and already has a phone number of a friend called Chelsea and have had afternoon chats which is really cute.

Nic is taking a little bit longer he will get his proper class next week and i think he will settle better then. He has enjoyed playing cricket and league at lunchtimes.

The school uniform is about the same colour except at Blacktown the cullotes where royal blue where here they are navy blue. Zoe is so happy with the colours.

Look Who Came For Lunch....

Narelle and Kasey came and had lunch with us on Sunday. It was great catching up with you guys. It was nice to sit , relax, chat and have a few laughs. What i love about you two is that you are so down to earth and i just love that . The other thing i love and i hope that Zoe and i will be like it as she gets older is the relationship that you two have, you have the best friendship being mum and daughter and that is fantastic.


Thanks again for coming down and cannot wait till our next date.

A Day With Friends

Last week we spent the day with Jenny and the kids. What is so awesome is that the kids get on so well with each other. They spent most of the day swimming around, it was so hot. Jenny and i just relaxed and scrapped while we watched them swim.

This photo is of the four of them Nicholas, Zoe, Josh and Alex.

This photo is of Martin who decided to join the kids in the afternoon for a swim he just looks so happy to be surrounded by beautiful children

Thanks again Jenny for another great day.

Water games

On Mondays i have been looking after Indiana. I just love doing it and spending time with her she is just so cute. Zoe decided that she wanted to water the roses and Miss Indi wanted to help but once she got the hose there was no letting go. She was drenched so was Zoe and then she turned the hose on me.

Just love this photo

Thought i would share this photo of Grace and the kids, it was taken just before Christmas at the Cross family picnic.
