anzac
We always attend the Anzac day parade but this year Ned and I decided to do the dawn service again. It was beautiful and the last post is always so moving.
By 6.30am we were home tucked up in bed with Ned telling me all the things he's been learning about the Anzacs - he's a wealth of knowledge when it comes to that stuff !!
Visitors
My Aunt and Uncle came up for a holiday so we all went up to Shoal Point for a bbq.
It was such a perfect day for it.
ned and i stopped in at the nursery on the way home - not buying just spending an hour or so checking out all the weird and wonderful plants they have.
beach, collecting and craft
We have been spending so much time on the beach lately just wandering and exploring and this day collecting for an art project....
our take on rock art !!!
adding to my heart rock collection - i have plans for these when i have enough..
and slowly filling my jar of sea glass - so much being washed up lately !
New beginnings and Goodbyes....
Al has started a new job (we still have Allstar - for now!) that requires him to work away from home so we went out for tea to celebrate on his last night home. Jar also left the same day for a trip to Brissy and Gold Coast with Jake - lucky duck !!
Playing hangman while waiting for our food...

take a kid fishing day 2012
another fantastic day this year and looky who's on the front page of the midweek - the only two boys who didn't fish at all !!!
bikers
we've been riding the blue water quay paths - this leg was from canelands to botanical gardens.
wild weather
well we went from no rain to heaps............
the bom looked like this for days
8.30 am
we had some big gusty winds in our area
in a jiffy bags
I'm loving making these drawstring bags at the moment, they're quick, easy and cute!!
I made this one for putting my car keys, phone etc in and chuck it in my bike basket when we go riding.
a huge one for dirty laundry when we go camping and a mini one for ned to collect his egg money in.
down to earth, the blog and the book
I have followed Rhonda's blog of the same name for ages now and was so excited when I found out she was bringing out a book. I ordered a copy online for al to give me for my birthday (before i knew about the bike!!) because I knew this would be a book that I wanted to keep and I'm so glad i did - it's such a beautiful book.
thirtyeight
It's that time of year again and once again I was spoilt!!!
jar and al got me a bike that I have wanted for awhile now - I got it early before the boys went to Adelaide. For the maiden voyage, jar and I did a 8km ride to mum and dad's and back - that's like a marathon for me!!!
The rest of my spoils and some spending money I recieved!
jar and I went for mexican - so good - washed down with mojito's and sangria !!
jar the little sweetie pie surprised me with my fave little lemon pie so I would have a cake on the day. she also tricked me into thinking for a second that it was a little something from Tiffany and Co with the colour of the box!!! They must be saving that for my 40th!!
got me an anti coal seam gas shirt to annoy a few people with!!
and got another celebration at mum and dad's a few days later - the table was so pretty!!
lucky me!!
