Ned's Birthday

Ned celebrated his 7th birthday with his best friend Riley, there is only a couple of weeks between them so we had a share Star Wars Party.

We held it at the beach in front of our place and it was perfect. Great weather, beautiful beach, fun playground and lots of friends!!

The cake.
Fun on the beach

Pass the Parcel, Jedi style - check out the awesome pool noodle light sabers that Riley's dad made.
Just a couple of pics from Neds actual birthday.

The usual suspects came for cake !!!
Ripping in to those pressies!

July - Sept catchup...

Well there has been not alot of exciting things doing round here - just boring have to be done jobs and end of fin year stuff, but I have scratched up a few things that have happened;

• Ned had his school fete....

• We took Mum down to Brisbane to see French & Saunders, it was an absolute crack up!

Jo found this place that does English high tea - it was so beautiful inside, all girly and pretty!!

Yum !!

• Unapproved photo of Jar - I not meant to post any info or photos without her approval!!
  
  
• We bought a 1974 Chesney Kampa - it's so cute but needs a fair bit of work so thats another one of our weekend projects !!
  

• Ned went on a school excursion to the Botanic Gardens then a Chinese Resturant for lunch - I went too!!
  

• Ned lost two teeth - I didn't bother to put a photo on cause he already had the other two teeth ready to fill the gap. Heres a photo of the little tooth pouch I made him though...
  
  

Jed

Jed turned 12 in June and is definately starting to slow down. This is the highlight of her day - going out for a bit of a sun bath.....

The Fort

Ned has been wanting a fort for awhile now so Al got the design right in his head and got to work. It looks fantastic, is everything Ned wanted and only cost us $66 for shadecloth and a couple of other little things. The rest is made out of left over fencing materials. We still need some lattice for across the front but we decided to have a fort warming and grand opening anyway............

Going up...

Pink

Jo, Jar and I went to Brissy for a long weekend to see Pink. We had a fantastic time, we went out for tepenyaki on the first night, heaps of shopping, the concert, markets - we did it all!! The day we left Jar caught the train the the Gold Coast to have some time with the whole Summerton/Turner mob so hopefully some photos from that trip to come..........

Anyway below is a few photos - we have had some go missing off the card so this is the highlights!!!

A late Mothers Day post

We spent Mothers Day down at the harbour park with fish and chips and no washing up!! We surprised Mum with the Mega Mothers Day pressie of flights and tickets to the 'French & Saunders' show - Mum's fave's!! I think we did good this year, oh and Jo and I get to go too - well you can't send her on her own !!!

Art Roll

I've been at it again, this time trying out a pencil roll that I'm thinking would make good Xmas gifts. This one is for Ned and I have made it so he can have a pencil and texta in each slot with room for a lead pencil, sharpener and eraser in the end pocket.
All rolled up....
The back and the inside.........
