July, August and September.

Hello everyone, we've had a lot going on, so there are more than the usual loads of photos. :)

Ryan has settled into being owned by a 6 year old, brilliantly. He came out and said "Guess what I am?" He's a bird house!!
Ryan is never short of a cuddle :)

Now Kylin can understand the concept of a dream catcher, I made him one and he really loves it.

The boys starting Damian's train.

Kylin's new bed. It has an even bigger cubby underneath, and a desk. He can watch the birds at the birdfeeder from under there too. It has a built in ladder on the right hand side.

Rainy day fun with the pussy cat. The cat actually got in the water.

More rainy day fun, getting mucky in the bath.

Kylin's first time at the Cairns show. He loved it so very much that we went home and had a rest then went back at night. It was one of the best days we've had together. He loved everything.

Absolutely, completely and utterly exhausted.

Playing house and washing the floor.

Rhys having a sleepover in the big bed.

Part of his school photo package this year.

Going for his first big boy sleepover without mum. He was soooo excited.

At the airport when I came back from Melbourne, he was so happy to see me, he cried.

Fell asleep listening to my iPod.

Being cheeky and giving me rabbit ears, with his purple spikey rock star hair.

My newest creation, I'm totally addicted to them. Mushies, stuffed with semi dried tomatoes and home made pesto, topped with capsicum cheese on rocket with chilli tossed fetta.

Dear little Cheyenne in a spectacular fashion creation.

Movie night where we ate lots of popcorn and slept in the loungeroom

Rhys had a sore knee so Dr Kylin arrived to take care of him.

Waiting for ice cream at Kuranda.

We were only there for 2 hours, but it was all too much. We had a great day.

For those of you who don't know, my mother was in a serious car accident early in July and struggled with horrific injuries for over 40 days. I won't go into details as most of you know the story and gave me amazing support throughout. She passed away in hospital on the 18th August.

I have had loads to do with Kylin's school, OT and psych since I've been back. He is really doing well with his social and emotional issues at school and no longer needs his OT. We start with his psych next week to address his anxiety.

I know I've forgotten heaps since my last post in June and for that I apologise. I will include what I remember in my next post.

Happy birthday to those of you who's birthdays I've missed in my absence.

And now we are 6.!

Hi everyone, well, our gorgeous boy had his 6th birthday on the 3rd June and we celebrated all week! His Nanny and Grandpa flew up for his party which we had in the same park as last year. The kids all had an awesome time.Cheyenne all ready to party. x
Singing happy birthday.

Line for the cake - much more orderly than last year!!

mmmmm I LOVE the cake!

Kids everywhere, they were also down feeding the ducks and in the tennis court.

On Kylin's actual birth-day, we had a mini party after school with just the three of us.

And sparklers of course!

the long awaited for Batman castle.

At the Barron Valley Gym. This was the only good photo I got, in the rest, he was just a blur :)

Sensai and Kylin on the night of his grading.

Yayyyyy Jazzmin and Kylin both earned their blue belts. Kylin was SO proud of himself.

Jazzmins turn to be 6! Disco party at Brothers, the kids were worn out!

This is Ryan, he's a 6 month old black tabby, and he chose us to be his new family. We rescued him from the RSPCA.

He has fitted in very well, Kylin just adores him.

This is Dave, our rubbish collector. He is SO nice to Kylin, lets him up in the truck, so he can blow the horn and work the big "catchy" arm. Dave gave Kylin a mini wheelie bin and Kylin draws him pictures etc. We make him little gifts at easter and xmas, he is a really lovely bloke.

We went to Cairns Tropical Zoo on the weekend with Bindi n co. Had a wonderful day, the kids zapped around everywhere and Kylin slept all the way home. :) Brodie had that many stamps on him he looked like a mini Angry Anderson, he's such a cutie.

That's it from us then. Hope everything is fabulous in your world and that everyone you care about is happy, peacefull and well.

Happy Birthday to our July babies:

Joe H, Rick, Andy H, Dammien, Andre, Ellen, and Becky boo.

Love and hugs to you all for your birthdays, hope your day exceeds your expectations.

Till next time - xo :)

Upside down Miss Jane!

Hi everyone! I put the photos in back to front, so the first ones are the most recent.

Squillions of photos, so not much explination.

We had Tink, Rhys, Tracy, Cheyenne, and Scott over for a BBQ on Friday night.

We had a great time, and the kids played beautifully.Such a strong girl!!

We had a giant mosquito inside, so Kylin put together this "swatting" ensemble, to make sure he didn't get bitten.
Mothers Day with Tink, Rhys, Tracy and Cheyenne.

Isn't she just the cutest little girl ever?

Dress ups have made a big comeback!

DJ flowershark is in da house

All the mummies and kids at Tinks house, awesome afternoon.

We had a sleepover at Bindi n Dans. This is little Baylie in the cubby.

Awwww

Don't ask!

Best buddies, Kylin and Brodie.

Kylin and I flew to Townsville to see Damian for the weekend, the photos are back to front, so this is Ky, completely exhausted, in the taxi on the way home.

We had a blast at the aquarium

What? Twisties?

Ky hid under the bed in the cabin when it all got too much for him.

He had a great trip but it was all too different and he got very homesick.

Being a seal!

He LOVED the bunk beds and the little curtains.

When we got to Townsville, the pilot let him sit in the cockpit and pretend to fly the plane.

Damian brought out his playstation, and Kylin just adored it.

I am in the process of party preperations for next Saturday. We are having a gathering at the park for Kylin's birthday. He has invited all the kids in his class along with our usual group of friends. His Nanny and Grandpa are flying up from Melbourne too. He is very excited.

Damian has just called from the train, he is doing his first solo drive down to Mackay. He sounds like a little kid he is so excited.

All else is well here, dogs are fluffing everywhere, weather is superb, life is good.

Happy birthday to our June babies:

Kylin, Ashleigh, Frank, Maddy, Jazzmin, Rebecca, Michael C,

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

We hope your special day is memorable and filled with all you wish for. :)

We hope all is well in your world, and you find a reason to smile every day.

Love and hugs from us. xoxoxo
