Panda Land
Nan Jans 71st Birthday
We had Nan Jan come visit and stay with us last weekend for her Birthday. My mum and dad were also up for the day so we had a little birthday afternoon tea for her. Isn't she just amazing. We all enjoyed nan's delicious cooking. She always brings Dylan up some really yummy patty cakes with faces on them. I was going to ring her and tell her not to bring anything..because it was her birthday and she wasn't aloud...but before i got a chance there was a message on my answering machine saying "it's nan here...don't worry about tea cause I have made something for us to have". We loove nans cooking...almost as much as we love nan.
Here we are singing happy birthday to nan. Dylan was just about jumping through his skin to help nan blow out the candles. Later that day nan and Dylan had a big deep and meaningful talk about how Dylan is going to get himself a wise one day. It took nan a while to catch on but he was trying to tell her that one day he was going to get himself a wife. He has trouble saying f's lol. It was just so cute. We all had a good laugh anyway.
We had a really nice visit with nan.. and boy she has still got it. I think I went to bed at around 9pm. But Paul and nan ended up staying up until 3am talking. So we had a lazy Sunday with pancakes for breakfast. I took nan up to have a look at a boys town lottery house that I brought tickets in just up the road. The house was amazing (1.3 million dollars worth). It is drawn on the 19th of December and I am sure that I am going to win it lol. It comes with $60 000 in gold bullion, $10000 in travel, a car worth $50000 and $3000 dollars worth of presents. So if I win everyone is coming to ours for Christmas. Fingers crossed.
Wakeboarding Summer 07
Summer is back and we have been enjoying many a days wakeboarding. It is a really addictive and fun sport. This is the first time I have been able to get into it (as I have been pregnant ever since we got the boat) and I am really loving it. We having been going to Burrumba Dam ( which is about 1 hour north west of us. It is such a great family day out. Me the kids and the girls will set up camp on the banks while the boys go out in the boat and then we will swap and Paul and the boys will look after the kids and Harley will take us girls out to have a go. My goal this summer is to at least attemp to do an ollie.
Here is my new little baby. I haven't got a name for her yet so I am open for suggestions. Pauls wakeboard is pretty much the same as mine but his is black, so he called his excalabar. Pretty funny huh. I haven't actually got a picture of me on the boad as yet.... Paul somehow always forgets to get one. But I am getting up. I am not really at the stage the other boys are at yet. I can pretty much stand up and that is it, but I am still proud of myself.
This is a picture of our mate Harley. He is one crazy man. Harley is our friend that went halves with us in the boat. Paul, Harley and the rest of the boys have just started doing the kickers and sliders jumps at the cable ski park and pretty much every weekend they take the boat for a spin in the river.
Heres Paul doing one of the rail slides. Poor Paul I am yet to get a good photo of him doing a big jump. For some reason every time he goes for a big jump and he catches some big air the camera has a delayed response and I miss the shot. I have a thousand photos of harley doing the jumps but I just can't get one of Paul. I will have to get one soon or he is going to kill me lol.
Here is a prime example of my terrible camera skills. See the jump behind Paul... well he has just landed the jump. Anyways he is doing really well. I have just realized how to post videos so I will have to see if i can get some footage of him... and soon. Love to all!
Lily's 4 months already
My has time gone by...my little girl is now 4 months already. Above is a photo of her enjoying her first taste of food. Mmmmmm farex. Don't you just love the spoon. It is a bendable dragon. So instead of "here comes the aeroplane" it is "here comes the dragon". And as you can tell by the size of her, she has no trouble feeding. She is now weighing in at 7.5 kg.
