Happy 7th Birthday Aiden - March 2009

Aiden has been anxiously awaiting his 7th birthday. I think he was more excited about being able to have a party this year. We didn't do parties for anyone last year due to saving for our holiday to America.

When he told me he wanted a "Transformers" cake, my first thought was "How/what do I make for that". As it turns out, his cake was extremely simple - a bought slab, iced partly green with green coloured coconut for grass and crumbled cookie covered cupcakes to represent a mound of dirt. Some Transformer figurines were placed around the cake and there you have it. Aiden loved it.

Lego was again a hit - loves it, especially his Star Wars Lego.

Chillaxing in the Park - March 2009

Having a park in your local neighbourhood is an advantage at times - especially when the kids are driving me mental. This particular day we got some hamburgers from the local takeaway shop and headed to the park for a bit of fun.

It was nice just watching the kids play and laze in the shade on a hot autumn day.

Camping at Korsmans Landing - February 2009

I must admit that I am NOT a camper. Roughing it is not for me. I do like my home comforts. Putting all this aside, I went camping. I did enjoy myself but so looked forward to having a shower upon returning home.

The weekend was spent either in the boat skiing, tubing or wake boarding. If there wasn't room in the boat we were in the water. The kids loved it, although Aiden and Campbell were afraid to get into the boat. They were happy spending their time in the water. Chelsea on the other hand, well she is a dare devil. Good on her I say.

Annette and Ronnie's Wedding - February 7, 2009

On a VERY hot February afternoon, Annette and Ronnie were married. It was a lovely day, despite the heat.

Chelsea, Shaylie and Saskia were beautiful little Bridesmaids and did the job perfectly.

Fun at Vedauwoo - January 2009

On our last day in Laramie before heading back to Australia, we spent some time at Vedauwoo. Apart from the very cold wind, it was a fun time.

After our Vedauwoo adventures, we had lunch at Applebys - mmmmm Applebys. It was most pleasant to be out of the wind and we all had such a laugh at Kathryn partaking of everyones meals, as well as her own. In her defence, she was pregnant and eating for two!
