Sausage Sizzle

We have just had our bi annual snag sizzle for the Toy Library and I took Dad along as a helper. BIG MISTAKE !!!! The gals that were helping out thought he was hilarious and being that they have never had the pleasure of hearing his jokes he gave them his whole repertoire!! They are even making plans to catch up if he's in the area!!! The kid in the background of the photo below was even cracking up!!!

August Birthdays

I'm a bit late but happy birthday to the following August babies.....

4th Ali & Jacqui's 6th wedding anniversary
6th Ash Hicks
14th Jo Hicks
22nd Val Hicks
27th Jane Turner

A nice quiet Sunday - sort off.

We had a picnic & fishing morning with Mum & Dad and Jo & Wayne at Shoal Point on Sunday. We had a few issues with Jedda running in the water scaring all the fish, getting caught in everyones lines, losing her collar, Dad going in to retrieve her collar, losing his wallet, going back to retrieve wallet - you get the picture. In between that & dodging Jo's casting there wasn't much fish action but plenty of laughs!!

Jar with a tiny flathead.

The most relaxing part of the day.

Sarina Show

A few piccies from the Sarina Show that we went to with Mum & Dad.

Woodchopping events.

A duck fashion parade - pretty funny but I don't reckon it was RSPCA approved!!!

The most ridiculous chook I've ever seen!!
Ned & Jarrah on the 'Wizzer' - I was sure he would cry but there was no stopping him & he loved it!!!

Ned went on this jumping castle twice and he was terrified of going down the slide (after the Wizzer go figure) so he eventually got brave enough to slide down.

Picture of Al zoomed in from the top of the ferris wheel - Al doesn't do ferris wheels !!!

Jar & Ned on the ferris wheel.

I'm lovin' me some painkillers!!!

How bad is this photo??!! It was the day after I had my wisdom teeth removed surgically & I was on really strong painkillers (obviously!!). I don't even remember Jar taking this photo.
Al kept calling me the Flying Nun cause of my very fashionable icepack but it felt so good I wasn't taking it off!!!! (Stewie - call before you have yours done and I'll tell you the name of this drug so you too can look like this!! You don't want to be going home just with panadol fortes I'm tellin' ya!!). Al dropped me & Ned off to Mum's for babysitting and it was just what I needed - homecooked soup, poached runny eggs & good dose of mother love.

A beautiful picture Ned did of a flower in a thunderstorm for me. He was so concerned and worried - bless!!

Beach Bums...

We spent a fair bit of time on the beach - we were lucky enough to have the most perfect weather though it was a little nippy in the water (well for us tropical folk anyway!!). Grandpa entertained all the kids with sand croc building and also a bit of fishing!
