Navy ships n friendships

Hello again everyone! We have some new members of our Cairns family to tell you about. Nathan, Yvonne, Kristopher, n Manny and Al, Tina, n Rhys.

Kristopher and Rhys are in the same class as Kylin at school and their families are just gorgeous people - so you'll be hearing a bit about them from now on. :)

Here are our boys defrosting from a dip in the pool....

Introducing our newest superhero - it's pants man!
All geared up learning to ride his skateboard

Another one!! This one was under madi's bed, thankfully for her it had expired. I must say though, it was softer than velvet to touch, icky, but true. That's a 20c piece, probably would have helped if I turned it over......Doh!

I have no idea why he was watching tv under an umbrella wearing nothing but undies and spiffy hat....but he looks troubled.

We were visited by the dust pixies! The whole house was covered in tiny hand and footprints thanks to Rhys n Kylin.

Just after collingwood's incredible win on the weekend - we actually got the game live.....we both have colds and had little sleep, looked and felt like c**p but we were still smilin......

After a yummy lunch on the esplinade we went with Tina and Rhys to see the US Essex at Trinity wharf this afternoon.

we got to see a helicopter taking off while we were there. Tina did her best spy work shortly after, managing to nail a shot of the planes on the pointy end.

(Tony that white boat is TAKAs just to give you an idea how huge the Navy one is.)

Damian is coming up on the train tomorrow for a week and Kylin is on school holidays so there'll be lots of adventures in the next few days I feel. We now have a referral to an ENT specialist for Kylin's snoring/tiredness but can't get in until October!! Never mind at least something will get done for him eventually.
Happy Birthday to our July babies:

Nathan, Bruce, Joe, Rick, Andy, Dammien, Xander, Andre, Ellen and Rebecca.
We hope your special day brings you all you hope for. xxx

Congratulations also to:

Scott, Dani and Mia on the safe arrival of Talei Noela Kinzett on the 23rd June.

And now we are 5.

Hello everyone, it's been ages again so there are loads of photos..... (Just for something different)

This was my mothers day present :) We had Bindi, Dan, Shane, Marisol and children come over for lunch and had a fab day. Damian and boo went to the go cart track.
Too much fun!

We went to the school fete, the kids had their hair colored. Jazzmin had her first sleepover here without mummy and daddy - there wasn't much sleeping but they both had heaps of fun.

Kylin is riding his bike part way to school now and is learning all about mad drivers.

The monster trucks came to the school one arvo - the kids loved it - the mums were a bit worried they came so close to the "barrier"

Kylin helping me make his birthday cake.

Kylin's birthday was on a Wednesday, so after school we had a mini star party.

complete with mini star cake!

At assembly the next day, all the birthday kids for that week were called out to the front, the assembly sang the birthday song to them and the vice principle gave them a sticker. Kylin was BEAMING. Jazzmin is there too bathed in sunshine. When the birthday kids were told to go sit down, the vice principle started talking and Kylin said "excuse me" and interupted him - the V.P. bent down, Kylin patted his shoulder and said "thank you". EVERYONE just melted and we were so proud of him.

Party time!~ We had his party the following Saturday, in the playground near home.

As well as his close friends, Kylin invited his entire class!

For 3 hours they ran, played and had a great morning.

Jazzmin's party the next day - Jazzmin looked just gorgeous and they had a very talented face painter who managed to turn Kylin into a transformer.

Happy birthday princess. xxx

Too beautiful - I could just eat him!

Monday was a holiday here so a big group of us met at the yacht club for lunch.

And Kylin had a big surprise because his band turned up - we didn't know they were coming. We hadn't taken Ky's microphone or guitar, but Jock came to the rescue with a mike and stand for him.

Too cute! x

Happy birthday to our June babies:

Kylin, Frank, Ash, Jazzmin, Bec, Michael, Nik,

Liam, Scott, Dad, Pete, Phillipa, Chookie, Keir, and Erin.

We hope you had/have a beautiful day.

Hope everyone is happy and well. xxx
