Two Boys Birthdays

On the 28th May Beau finally had his birthday. He has been waiting for such a long time. His mum did him proud by making him his very important Johnny Deere Tractor cake. It even had the combine on behind with oats in the seed box ready for sowing. An amazing cake Laura. We (the cousins) gathered together after school for afternoon tea and the all important cake and candles. 
Happy Birthday Beau!  
Hope you enjoyed your special day.

 Happy Birthday to you......


A week later it was Will's 5th Birthday. He celebrated his over several days. On the 4th June he had a couple of friends over after Kindy to play and celebrate. On Saturday, Will had some friends from Frances over along with Aunty Laura, Toby, Beau, Davy, Ma ma & Pa for a bon fire, sausage sizzle and cake.

Ma ma turns 60

Its offical Ma ma is old! The Grandies softened the blow by saying that I'm not as old as Old Pa (87) Bless them. I had a wonderful weekend of celebrations. We started it off on the Friday with a lovely lunch and then cake in the park. Oh the grandies love candles and cake. On Saturday the family gave me a party at home and we had a wonderful night of good food, fun, laughter and fellowship with friends and neighbours


 All lined up for the cake

Aunty Relle's cake was yum

 Ma ma all ready for the party
 the balloons were a source of entertainment for the children, letting them go and watching them float away


 Old Pa's grandies......... I think we got them all  20 at last count (there was a ringin in the pic)

Leon loves to do something different so he organised (a bit of arm twisting I think) his kids to take part in the Heinrich 1/2 hour Variety Show

Easter

 Easter was a wonderful weekend of family fun. We started at Laura & Steve's for hot cross buns on Good Friday and then they came back to the farm for a sleep over and camp out. Relle, La & Leyla turned up later in the day for an extended stay. Celebrations all round.

 It is always fun to take a drive out into the south scrub.
 Jumping for joy on Mt Moffat.

Our visit to Sydney

We had a wonderful time visiting Relle, Sami, La and Leyla in March. We had time to just catch up, do a walking trail, some retail shopping for both Mama and Pa, out for lunches, school visits, train rides, ferry rides, plenty of reading and spending time with the girls. Thanks for a great relaxing time.
