Our Melbourne trip

Hello everyone, we have been soooo busy since we got back but here are some pictures finally!!
Our first visit was to Pete & Debbies, Pete took me for a ride on his bike and let me play in the chevy, I loved all the cows and sheep and loved being able to explore and run around by myself. Pete did a lot of stunt riding which I just loved, it made me giggle a lot. I had a wonderfull time during our stay there.

We visited my nanny and grandpa, they gave me a gorgeous giggle bear which I kept with me throughout our trip. I loved seeing the puppy, the fish and the duckies too.
Off to Big ears house then, Danny came over one morning and took daddy for a ride in his big truck.

Off then to Shepparton, to stay with Marie. Big ears came with us too. There was lots of yummy food, greek coffee and late nights. Muzzy had puppies which I loved and there were some kittens that kept visiting too. We went for walks and Muzzy gave me a special computer that I played with everyday. I met Georgie, Marie's mum, who gave me a little reindeer and a huge bag of apples she had grown, I ate all of them!!

This is my angel Marie - isn't she beautiful!! She gave me lots of kisses and cuddles. I miss her

On Saturday night, after I went to sleep, Richard, Dave and Kate came over to celebrate mummy's birthday. Mummy used to be in the SES with ishie and Dave and hadn't seen them for years so it was really nice to catch up.

One day we all went to Mitchelton winery for lunch, the food was delicious and I was sooo well behaved that I was allowed to run around outside after they were all finished.

Sadly we had to leave Muzzy and on the way back to Melbourne we stopped for lunch in Nagambie.

Back at big ears house now and Wayne & Kim came over, so did Greg. Waynes car broke down on the way and Stuart came over to rescue them so we got to catch up with him as well.

WHERE ALL RICHMOND RUBBISH BELONGS!!!!

Cameron came over for dinner the next night, Mummy loves catching up with Cam, he is such a beautiful person.

Mummy was very excited to find Jacinta (aka sister Maria) just before we left Cairns. They had lost contact ages ago and they both cried when they saw each other again. She and Michael have a 7month old little boy called Liam, he is gorgeous of course!! The time went so quick, mummy didn't want to leave.

Friday night we went to Slag and Keir's house for dinner, they cooked us an awesome BBQ and gave me a cool book and some gorgeous Thomas PJs. We watched their wedding video and mummy cried all the way through it. Blake is really grown up now and is such a lovely boy, Taylah is gorgeous and did a great job looking after me until it was my bed time.

Saturday morning Caroline, Bec and Rachael came over for a BBQ breakfast. It's always so nice to catch up and they always make mummy laugh. Bec and her friend were helping me collect lemons to throw off Big ears balcony.

Later that day we went to Healsville with big ears, Bec, and Rachael, I loved it and was rivited to the birds of prey show, I clapped all the way through it. There were no rock wallabys in the display so daddy thought he would improvise

Bec got me some long reeds and we played "fishing" some magpie geese came over and nibbled the end and I cracked up

Rebecca and Rachael - all gorgeous and grown up xoxo

We dropped the girls home and when I woke up, we stayed for a visit with Danny & Caroline, I met their big fluffy cat Baxter and their beautiful soft dog called Harley. Next it was on to Wayne and Kimmys house now, I stomped about in "Auntie Pons" work boots making a big noise on their wooden floors

Auntie Pon giving me a few life tips such as "always leave the decanter in the kitchen"

Poor Wayne had been poisoned or had contracted typhoid - but bravely faced a drive into the dandenongs for a bit of a snack. Mummy managed to fight off the offending sickness but muscled into a sandwhich.

Here we are on one of our visits to my great nanny. I kept running off with her table saying "tea party time" she thought that was pretty funny.

We also went on a huge adventure on Puffing Billy, I just had the best time, hanging out the window and hearing the whistle, by the return trip though I had had enough and mummy and daddy had to try every trick to calm me down cause I was overtired.

Cause it was our last night with my boy angels, mummy let big ears wake me up for a play and big cuddles goodbye.

Wayne came over too and shared the rest of his wisdom with me like "3 bottles is probably enough"

Mummy was very sad to say goodbye, and is still missing them all.
Off we went then to stay with Frank for our last night. Frank could not have done any more for us, he cooked for us, played bartender, gave up his bed, and drove us to the airport the next morning. We met his beautiful daughter Rachael who is so polite and was really lovely and shared all her toys with me.

Thank you to everyone we stayed with, to Wayne & Kim for giving up precious time to be with us whenever they could, everyone who timed our visits and theirs around Kylins sleeps, Big ears, Muzzy and Frank for letting us take over their homes, and Pete & Deb for doing so much for Kylin and lending us your car for the last week - you all rock - THANK YOU XOXOXOXOXO

That's not a stick insect........

THIS....IS A STICK INSECT !!!!

A catch up

Hello everyone, hope you are all happy and well. We have had a very busy time lately.
Here I am at one of our barbeques with my wheelbarrow, I found a rather splendid puddle to rush back and forth in.

Here I am doing my bit to help reduce the effect of global warming - a little known but interesting fact: the increase in the rise of global warming is directly linked to the decrease in the number of pirates!!

As you all would have heard, we have had a lot of rain and storms here lately (well it is the wet season!!) Here is an awesome band of cloud that rolled down the mountain to almost street level - cool

This was taken one afternoon as a storm came over, the sun behind it gave everything an eerie glow

Our yard floods a bit when we have loads of rain so I often go out to investigate and do puddle research

The creek behind our house is pumpin' now, and it's one of my favorite places to visit - I particularly love finding leaves and throwing them off the bridge into the water

Mummy and Daddy took me bowling one very wet Sunday and I had the best time, I even managed to get the split in this shot - much to Mummy's shock !!

Well that's about it for the meantime. Mummy has just returned from a dash to Melbourne as my darling great nanny is very sick in hospital (poor nanny). I have got a nasty cold now and am keeping mummy up all night cause I can't breath properly (poor me)Mummy now has a big sore throat and is very tired and dizzy (poor mummy) We are all heading to Melbourne for our holiday next Tuesday (6th) and will be back home on the 21st so look out for mega photos and news when we return. Love and hugs and puddle splashes to you all - Kylin xoxoxo

Happy new year everyone

******Hmmm something happened to the formatting on this one, after the first pic, the descriptions appear at the side and are for the photo below*******
There are lots of photo's so I will try to keep this short. This is a very cheeky bird that came to eat daddy's bacon at our barbeque.


This is Jazz and I playing "boo" around a tree.
This is Richard who was very patient with me when we went out to lunch one day and I kept saying "hello Rich" over and over again.


This is Amy, Ellie and Becky, my new friends from Brisbane. We stayed with them and Rob & Jo for 3 nights while we were on our holiday. I had the best time, and the girls really looked after me.
This is me hangin with the boys, Daddy, Rob & Chris. I am holding a dolly parasol :)


Here I am at the beach at Byron Bay. This was the first time I had seen waves and I just loved it. I ran and squeeled and played chasey when they came to catch me - I fell over in the water but didn't cry and just went back in for more. Despite the grey skies it was really lovely and warm.
Here is my Uncle Denis (aka pointed stick) I had a lovely time when we stayed at their house, I made myself right at home. Denis played with me and they had two puppies and a bird that I just loved.


This is my Auntie Jo, she is really lovely and I tormented her and Morgan by rising while it was still dark, putting on my elephant feet and stomping around the house - I also loved saying "hello Morgan or Hello Jo" over and over again, just to test their patience - (they passed!) I cried when when we left their place.
Mummy and Daddy found a playground for me at southbank, I really needed to blow off some energy and had a fab time in the tunnel slide and wobbly bridges.


Here I am at another playground in a huge park, we stayed here for ages so I could have a really good turn on everything.

This is me with my grandpa, we had a few visits to Grandma and Grandpa's while in Brisbane. Grandma made me jelly and I was really good with all the "pretty stuff" and didn't touch anything. I did run around and test out the stairs a few times and had a swim in their pool. Grandma has some lovely flowers which I knew all the colors of and thought they were beautiful.

Well that's all from me, I hope you all had a fantastic new years celebration and that this year will be an amazing one for you all.
Love and kisses - Kylin. xo

The one after the one before new year :)

Hello everyone, sorry to be a pest, but our video camera had a wobbly after mummy came back from Melb. (mummy went down for 24hrs, for a funeral a couple of weeks ago) and when she got back, we had to send the camera away to be fixed - there were some shots on there we wanted to share and have just got the camera back so here goes...........
Pete picked mummy up from the airport at midnight, in this classic 57 Chev which he and Deb are going to do up - It rocked big time !!!! They tried to hide my baby under a sheet but I got to touch it!! I doooo so love that car :)
this is Poombah who lives on the property across from Pete & Deb - he is soo cute! He keeps the foxes away from the sheep - cool huh?
This is my best bro and my best friend making sure I really did get on the plane and didn't stay around to cause them trouble.
Bubba in his new bob the builder raincoat for the first time..........
Hands up who thinks it may be a tad too big? He loves it!!
Daddy making bubby laugh by causing teddy to crash down on the floor.
Mummy's trip to Melb although sad, was a great bonding time for both Pete and mummy so something really positive came out of it - they spent more time together than they had in years and had a great time just doing "stuff" - so that's it! Cheers! xoxoxoxo
