Sunday Snapshot - 31st Oct

It was my lil man's 10th birthday last week - so he's my super star this week! (I DO feed him! He is just very proud of how far he can suck it in!!!)

More pics!

Took some pics in the last couple of days - thought I'd share!

Its moments like these, my heart melts into a puddle... God sure knew what He was doing when he made our precious gift...

Mastering the hoola

Was too easy in her shoes, had to try it in my shoes?!

Ahhh... those eyes - that smile

My handsome man is 10 on Friday. 10 years? Really? He is a wonderful son and brother (most of the time!!!)- we are so blessed to have him.

(in case you're wondering I got Tiny's gorgeous dress on etsy!

Lollypop Lane Boutique - super cute - check it out!) Also got Hello Kitty one, for her birthday party!

Kangaroo Island

Playing Catch Up!!!

Been ridiculously busy of late!!! We've just been to Kangaroo Island (a little island just off the coast of my home state South Australia). If you come to South Australia - you MUST visit Kangaroo Island. I've been there four times, now - when I was on a Year 8 School Camp, again when I was about 14, then with some friends & their 6 month old daughter - when I was about 20, and last week! This was the first time our kiddies have been.

The holiday house we rented, had no TV. Yep - you read that right... NO TV. H-Man was devasted when we pre-warned him. He took his DS, and packed a couple of card games. Just before we left, H-Man says to us "Thank you Mum and Dad for bringing us to this place with no TV"!!! He is so funny!!! I think he was absolutely gob-smacked that life actually goes on (can even be better) without TV!!!

OK, enough words - you want pics right?!! (sorry they uploaded all over the place, and I kept losing them when I tried to move them... so they're not in order... hope you get the idea though?!)

We stayed at Vivonne Bay
Pauls Place, Stokes Bay - absolutely awesome wildlife park - where you get to hold and feed the wildlife! Tiny was facinated by the snake! It was too heavy for her to hold on her own, so she held it with her dad - the photo must be on MrT's phone... will post later!

This little guy was at Admiral's Arch - hundreds of seals frollicking around - they came up so close!

Seal Bay - lots of sleepy seals!

We loved Remarkable Rocks! We climbed, played and took photos for ages here!

Sadly, we found a dead penguin on the beach... MrT thought it'd be fun to rest him up against the bucket, so it looked like he was on holidays too!!! I'm sure Tiny thought we was really on holidays!!!

The koala was too heavy for Tiny to hold too - Miss M held the koala & Tiny (that photo is also on MrT's phone!) Here's H-Man and the lovely koala!

Tiny couldn't get enough of the wildlife!

On the rocks!

Chillin' at Seal Bay

Kelly Hill Caves

Admiral's Arch - spectacular!

Our Baby is FOUR!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

We love you beautiful girl!

Her favourite gift was the hoola hoop we got her (cept she calls it her "hooters"!!!) (sorry bout the poor quality photos... my camera was having issues with the lighting & exposure!)

New Movie

Thanks for the advice, girls!! I've edited & changed my movie - and used Vimeo

Hope I have a little more success than last time!!!

Family Day Video

I'm SO SO ANNOYED with youtube - they canned the audio track to my Family Day Video (which not only had music but Tiny giggling and talking etc) So now its boring as watching paint dry. I've deleted the video. Will see if I can make one with a different programme and upload to my blog a different way.

GRRRR..... SO TICKED OFF!!! That movie took me an entire day to put together.

Introducing - My Little Boy...

I have felt, for quite awhile now, that we should add to our family. A child that isn't deemed perfect, by some, but perfect in my eyes. Sometimes, things happen and we can't fufill all our hopes and dreams. It appears that this is the case, for my hope and dream of being a Mum to another. I figure, God knows my heart - trying to "make" my dream happen, isn't the answer.

I was reading the Love Without Boundaries blog today, Tiny was sitting on my lap. I opened the sponsorship page, and asked her which child she wanted to help. She chose this little boy:

I would point to others, she said, "no. this one." I asked Tiny what she wanted to name him, she said "Harry"... go figure! That's not really going to work, so I offered 4 other names... and Charlie was the winner!

Sometimes, our dreams don't work out exactly how we plan... but when the door of opportunity opens, to help someone less fortunate that yourself... you should take it. We pray that Charlie is placed into a wonderful foster family, that will love, nuture and care for him.

Something a bit spesh...

The weather has been glorious (for winter!!) so I dressed the kids up, and we marched down our paddocks to take some photos! I was rapt with how they came out!

I'm getting the BW one of the three kids, blown up onto a canvas! :) Can't wait to see how it comes out!
