That time of year again!

Now that the weather is getting warmer it is that time of year again to head to the swimming pool! Earlier in the year my Nana Margaret went to Thailand and came home with these awesome bathers!

I know I look gorgeous.... take a look at my face!

Although, do you think my tummy looks fat?

The only person (or cat) that doesn't think I look cute is Harvey!

In the car on our way to the pool...


Dad and I in the pool having a ball. At times I am a little apprehensive but after my hip appointment in December (providing we have good news) I will start real swimming lessons! Yay!

Too cute!

The Big O!

Last weekend Owen came to stay at our house for the weekend. The poor man, he hadn't even been here for 5 minutes and he was my new best friend!!

Another Fascination!!!

Fridge Fascination!

My Family!

At the beginning of November my Nana turned 60! On her actual birthday we had a small BBQ at her house (mum took her camera but it was flat!) but on the Saturday night Mum and Dad left me at Hilary and Ryan's house and had an evening without me! I had an absolute ball and so did they! Dawn and Ajax came all the way from Adelaide and Muff and Henry from Essendon to dine out at Number 8 at Crown. Her are a few snaps.....

Happy Birthday Nana!

Bling Bling!

Story Time for Bella!

A job well done!

At the end of October Nana Margaret and my Mum catered for a 60th Birthday Party. (well, Nana did most of it but Mum liked to take the credit too!) The people at the party were served lots of delicious food..... Mum and Nana even thought of going into business together! Below are some snaps of only some of the food....

The delicious looking antipasto platter


The boss hard at work!

Club sandwiches....who would ever have thought they could look so good and taste so yummy!

Turkey, brie and caramelized onion on pumpernickel bread!

Famous BLT'S!

The team smiling.... not 1 argument!

Dessert!

When I grow up I'm gonna be a hairdresser!

(please disregard the fact that they are naked! Lucas and Charlotte had just gotten out of the bath and Charlotte was obsessed!)

Good Water Conservation!

Two cheeky monkeys sitting in a laundry trough! What an exciting and innovative way to take a bath!

BBQ gone wrong!

Has anyone ever tried to cook a BBQ on a webber? That's right......virtually impossible! Jason tried his best (without the instruction manual!).......

Mark looked on with little interest as he was too smart and knew the outcome....
Even Charlotte packed up her toys and headed inside so that women could finish the cooking! And whoever said that cooking a BBQ was a man's job!!

Happy 1st Birthday Hunter!

On the 12th of October Hunter Westbrook turned 1! We made the long journey to Loxton is SA to help him celebrate not only his birthday but his naming day!

Hunter and his dad Westy waiting patiently for the naming day ceremony to start.

Hunter's Aunty Tanya saying a few words during the ceremony.

Nan and Pa looking as wonderful as ever!

Mark using his video expertise to document the special day.

Me (as grubby as ever) waiting patiently for the ceremony to finish so that we can all eat birthday cake!

Look at that amazing cake! It is a construction site that Hunter's mum Kate made all by herself.

Me having my turn of pass the parcel!

Me, Dad and Tia having a ball on the jumping castle that Westy hired for the party.

Mum and Kerri...

Abbey and me getting around in the big red car!

Abster!

Me and Hunter just hanging out!

At the end of the day all us kids were in much need of a bath! This is Hunter, Me and Bowdie!

The next day was filled with the long journey back to Melbourne. I was such a good little traveller!
