Moving weekend

This weekend we were busy packing and moving everything out of the house... it was a lot of work. But I still managed to have some fun.

On Friday night Keely & her mum Steph came to see me. I liked Keely alot -I kept saying "Hi" to her.

Andie also came to have dinner.. but Mum didnt take any photos!! (what a shock!!) Andie has gone back to Sydney now.. Lucky that its not to long till shes home for the summer -YAH!!

Saturday was moving day.. Mandi & Aliesha came to help. Which was really good cause Alisha was lots more fun than mum! We played silly games in the car -pretending to be asleep.

...Goodbye little house...

Michael John Paterson

On September 23rd at the age of 34 Michael lost his courageous battle with Cancer. Michael was a much loved husband to Kylee, a best mate & dad to Grant. An adored son of Neil & Kath and a baby brother of Leeanne. Today we gathered together to Celebrate Michael's life.

Just think of me
Just think of me, and I'll be there,
I'm always around, I'm everywhere,
I'm in your dreams when you sleep,
I hear your cries when you weep,
Don't be sad, wear a smile on your face,
All my sufferings in a better place,
I've left this world, my bodies gone,
But in your hearts my soul lives on,
I know you'll grieve and suffer pain
But one day soon we'll be together again.

_________________________________________

Michael is my cousin. The courage, dignity and determination he showed while battling Cancer was an inspiration. Here he was facing this terrible illness and never once did he say "WHY ME". Michael's positivity blew me away. His body could no longer fight but his soul never gave up.

Thank you Mike for showing me that everyday is precious, and we never know how many of them we have. Thank you for inspiring me to Love my daughter with all my heart and treasure every second I have with her. Thank you for reminding me a little positivity goes a hell of a long way.

Goodbye Michael -Rest in Peace...

Feeding the horses

Mum & I stopped in at Greenwood Park on our way home from the beach. Uncle Days & Aunty Heidi were away taking horses to the races but we got to see Honey & Da. And we even feed the horses. Mum was very brave at going into the paddocks to give those big horses dinner. Honey & I just watched.

Fun & Games at the beach

Guess what.. Mum & I have sold the house!!!! YAH. So on Friday night Honey & Da took me over to the beach so Mum could do some packing (the new people move in on the 5th). I had loads of fun. I got to hang out with lots of Rosemary from Texas and the collins girls on saturday night.. it was a real party.

Mum arrived over on while I was sleeping and on Sunday morning she & I took the dogs for a walk. I got to put the lead on Henry which I love!!!

I love the beach sooo much that I just HATE it when its time to come home.

On Monday Max, Tiffany & Cooper came to join us for a few days at the beach. It was great having Max to play with.

And I was really good a Sharing my Mum. Especially with Cooper cause Mum always seemed to be stealing snuggles with him!!!

Visiting.

Over the last few days mum & I have been having battles about me staying in my own bed. Cause I really like to wake up in the middle of the night and then go snuggle with mum till the morning. I cant understand why mum wants it to stop!!!!! I blame the PLUNKET lady.

Anyway last night I decided I might as well give up... so I slept all night in my own bed! At 6am I got out of bed walked into Mums room and said Hi. Mum thought I was very clever.

This Morning we went to visit Janny & Pat..I love my weekly visits to Houchens Rd. And its an extra bonus if I get to see Rae, Kevin & Ralphie.

I wanted to see the calves.. so I made everyone come for a walk. I got to meet daisy calf. She has a broken leg... but the vet gave her a cool plaster.

Andie's home

Andie is home for a visit. Mum & I called into see her this afternoon.

We decided to take Andie to the Park with us. I had soo much fun on the swing that I just didnt want to go home. I was a little naughty.. and had a BIG paddy with Mum carrying me to the car screaming. (It seems the terrible twos have arrived early)

Mum's Jacket

I decided to try mums jacket on.. I thought it was very funny when Mum did the zip up. It was my very own dress.

Bubble Bath

Max & I had loads of fun in our bubble bath tonight. I love it when Max comes to play and its extra special when he stays for dinner & bath time.

(Mum likes it too cause at the moment the only time I eat anything other than yoghurt is when Max eats with me!!)

Pat's 80th Birthday

Yesterday was Pat's Birthday... he turned 80!!

All the family had arranged a BIG surprise party for him. We arrived out the house early on saturday morning saying "SURPRISE" and set the big tent up for the party.

Here are some very photos of Pat that Mum used to make the photo board.

Later in the afternoon after going home to get our pretty clothes on we all came back... Family from all over the place came to celebrate with Pat.

I had so much fun, and got SOOOO much attention. Here I am meeting some relly's

I also got to meet my cousins Rosie, Dannielle & Bree. They are Mum's cousin Nic's daughters. I liked them alot! I spent hours and hours playing with them.

Mum's cousin Katherine.. was wonderful at entertaining me... Thanks Katherine

(Paul, Katherine, Leo, Margaret)
It was a great night.. I loved showing off to all the people. I was totally exhusted tho after all that fun.. and even tho the party was in full swing I fell fast asleep in my pushchair.

My Wednesday

This morning I had my hair cut.. I sat very still so after I was finished I got to have a fluffy with Mum. On our way home we stopped in to see Max. His Nan & Pop are visiting for the week. They were very nice. Max's Pop even read me a story.

After my sleep I got to spend time with Mandi & Mum. We went shopping. Im not a big shopping fan.. but I survived.

When we got back home I got to catch up with everyone

And best of all play with Aliesha. Lesha is lots of fun.. she makes me giggle lots.

Honey

I love my Honey lots and lots...

This afternoon Honey picked me up from Creche. I was very pleased to see her. When we got home I took Honey outside to "look look". Very soon out backyard will have grass. I cant wait!!

Girls at work

Today we were out at Jannys cleaning down the outside of the house. It was a real team effort. Mandi was on the waterblaster while Mum, Honey & I all scrubbed.

I was a very good girl.. I spent hours helping and watching and entertaining myself. Mum was very proud of me.

We had a break for some yummy lunch. I was really nice to eat with everyone.. and PAUL came all the way from London to surprise Janny & Pat. They got a BIG surprise..

After lunch I was a good girl and went to sleep while the others finished cleaning.
