10th Wedding Anniversary

On Friday we celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary and Dave surprised me with a weekend at this gorgeous place http://www.hunchyhideaway.com.au/ (I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a romantic getaway in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland!)

This is the cottage we stayed in ....it was beautiful!

When we arrived these were waiting for me ....

1 for every year we are married and one for each of the girls....how sweet!

Treated ourselves to a massage from these people....

http://www.templemassage.com.au/

Which was fantastic!!!! It was Daves first time having a massage and he loved it !


This little girl and her baby entertained us on Friday night......


Soooo cute.






I got an Eternity ring too which Dave had made to suit my other rings and the designer made it exactly the same as my wedding ring so it all fits in perfectly! I gave Dave a chunky gold necklace ( so now he looks like wog boy !!!)LOL!

Saturday we went shoppingup the Sunshine Coast and bought one of these.....




and of course all the accessories that go with it !!!!

Also did a lot of camping shopping and generally going into about 100 different shops (which is not easy when you've got small children hanging around!)

Then had Thai at Moffat Beach to avoid the storm and that's when Dave told me the bad news...

Due to the storms and weather conditions the surprise he had for me ha d to be CANCELLED!!!!

He had booked a Hotair Ballon Ride over the Glass House Mountains!!! Which would have been unbelievable! Anyway we'll just have to postpone it until after New Year I think. It was a bit disappointing and would have topped off an amazing weekend.

Thankyou Darling! (if he reads this!)

Some layouts....

Ok so I'm just doing a post of some layouts I've done recently....Most are on The Boxx but thought I'd share them here as well for my non-scrapping friends and family!




LOVE this one and as the journaling says ...it's an everyday occurance in our house as my girls have no hips and their clothes just do not stay up !!!!! LOL!

This was just one I threw in with the others because I couldn't think of another addiction!!!!

This one was for the DT as well for "ribbons"

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

Girls Night In..........

On Friday the 31st of October I was invited to a Girls Night In (which is a Breast Cancer Fundraiser event) on the Gold coast with a few of the girls from The Boxx.





It was an AWESOME night with some of the most AWESOME chickies!!!! I was "perfectly fine!" We had to dress up as something starting with "S"...... This is what I went as ......."Mrs. Santa"









We had a raffle and some games and I won some fabulous prizes......The very generous Jodes donated a Pandora Bracelet (empty) so now I have to start another addiction and buy the beads for it !!!! (oh well!)




And then my most favourite prize was a Family Photo Shoot with the very talented photographer Alison Stafford!!!! So look out in the future for some amazing family photos .....(Got to ring her and organise a day)




Group shot of everyone......





Some fantastic costumes , some went to a lot of effort. Thanks again Rozzie and Jodes for an amazing night! I think we raised about $500 too !!!!!

Off to Def Leppard this weekend ......Woo Hoo!

See you ....have a great week

Next is probably about 1990.....oh the harshness of the bleach ...my poor hair! The things we did to it it's amazing we have any hair left!!!!

Oh to be young again!!!!! (don't you love the shoulder pads in the tops too!!!LOL!!!)

Thanks for visiting!

Birthdays and a new look.........

We have just finished the "Birthday Season" at our place......To start off we have Olivia who turned 7!!!!

(Notice the front tooth missing!!!!) Wow!!! I can't believe I am the mother of a 7 year old!!! She just had a few friends over for a sleepover and they had a great time.....She got a new bike, one with gears!!!!

A couple of weeks later my baby turned 4!!!!!

Ella got lots of games and her own "Tendo!" which is actually a Leapster and a couple of games to go with that. This is her straight from bed hence the "Ferral" look!!

This is now the new look for Olvia and will be for at least 6 - 12 months according to the dentist!!!! Olivia already had one front tooth missing then one next to the other front tooth had to be pulled out due to a new abcess that had formed over the old one so the dentist advised to pull it since it was going to come out soon anyway...then the front tooth next to it was so wobbly but Liv wanted to wait until Dad came home to pull it out but it wasn't going to last that long so that same night Mum got up the courage and yanked it out !!!! The tooth fairy was very busy that night !!!!

We have teased her about the way she talks for about a week now we've got used to it!!! It was funny though!!!!

Then there was Dave's big 40th!!!! We just had a little BBQ and out for tea on the actual night.....Here he is ...can't believe I'm married to a 40 year old !!!LOL!!!

And then it was me 5 days later but no photos of me!!!!! Ha!

Very busy over the next few months so lots to post about ....stay tuned!!!!
