Fun at the Park

Yesterday morning we joined some lovely ladies and their little crazies for morning tea at Frye Park... It was very muchly enjoyed!



Say "CHEESE"! 




Looking so innocent.... 

 mmmm....

Impossible to get a shot of these two together! 

"I love swings!" 


Cheeky little dude! :) 


This morning is mum's birthday so Kara and I are off for coffee there later on this morning and we're all having dinner together tonight... "Happy Birthday Nana!"

I love the show!

You can tell Christmas is coming... slowly but surely the weeks/weekends are filling up with all sorts of things!

The Kelmscott Annual Show was on Friday and Saturday and Kara and I really wanted to go (especially seeing that Mark had put some of his artwork for display).  Kara and I ended up going to the show with Mum and Dad Plug and later on Mark met us there.  We were very excited to see that Mark won first prize for one of his portrait drawings... He won a grand total of $6! :) (obviously didn't do it for the prize money).  It was so great to see his work up on the wall, he really is an artist (although way too humble, lucky his wife likes to show him off)!

Award Winning :)

Some of his other artworks (he'll probably kill me for putting them up!)


This one is one of my favourites... it's huge and the clouds are amazing! 




I didn't take my camera to the show... I decided that I was just going to enjoy it :) It was such a nice atmosphere.  Kara loved looking at all the colours and listening to all the sounds... She also loved the animals, but not when Opa took her too close! :)  Mark, Kara and I ended up going back later that night to pick up Mark's art and watch the fireworks... Kara didn't know what to think!

In between the show we headed to Woodman's Point to celebrate a friend's birthday with a bbq dinner.  Was beautiful there, the weather was perfect!

On Sunday we were blessed with two wonderful sermons and between services we relaxed outside, enjoying the beautiful summer day.  Kara looked extra gorgeous so I couldn't resist taking some photos! :)




"Enough photos now mum!" 

While I was at church in the afternoon Kara and Mark had some fun with all the formula tins Kara has emptied so far...



We're off to the park this morning... hopefully I remember to take my camera! :)

Enjoy your week! :)

Really quick review of the past 6 months...

How shocking am I?  I make all these promises to stay updated, out pops a baby and 6 months goes flying by!  I can't believe that last time I posted our darling little bubs was still tucked away, all cosy and warm, in my tummy!  Now she's six months old and tucked away, all cosy and warm, in her cot, fast asleep (hopefully for all night... not 4am!). To get you up to speed I thought I would show you some photos of my bubs... one for each month :)

 0 Months

As you can see our Little Miss is absolutely gorgeous (I may be a little biased) and is slowly but surely growing into a cheeky little monster!  We absolutely adore her and continually feel very blessed to have her in our lives!

I will try to stay a little more up to date from now on... maybe... :) My motivation will be having one of those awesome blog books made... maybe if I forget to regularly update people could gently remind me?  I'm not very good at committing to things, it would be great if you all could help me out!

Hopefully I'll talk to you all again... within a week!   ........I promise........... :)

Easter Weekend...

Well, Thursday came and went and still no bubs... but I don't really mind because I have been feeling great! :)  The dr said our little munchkin is still very muchly comfortable in there and probably won't be arriving any time soon...  He told me to not worry and enjoy the Easter weekend and that is what we did! :)

On Good Friday after church we went to Mum and Dad Plug's and enjoyed coffee with them and Uncle Phil & Aunty Sharon and family...  In the afternoon we debated going out but ended up just slacking around at home...

On Saturday afternoon we went out to Fremantle with Di and caught the end of some of the buskers that were performing.  It was beautiful in Fremantle and we enjoyed fish and chips and a delicious ice cream before heading home to watch a movie...

On Sunday morning after church we went to visit Oma Plug...

On Monday morning I was picked up by Dad and Mum Bruning and Oma Kobes (as Mark needed to go to work... sigh...) and we met BSKE and CSJ at the lookout for the airport... We saw a few planes land and take off and then went to a beautiful park on the Swan River.  Frank & Monz and Mark joined us there for lunch and we had an enjoyable afternoon altogether...




















Friday Nights...

Mark and I decided to make the most of the beautiful evenings and enjoy dinner out and about for a couple Friday nights...

On the 23rd of March we went to Cicerello's in Fremantle...  :)  We thought it might be the last time we had fish and chips in Freo before becoming parents but we happened to end up there again on Easter Saturday (still waiting for the big arrival)!! What can I say, bubs loves fish and chips! :)

The next week I took the train into Perth, Mark picked me up from the station and we ordered a couple of pizzas from Little Ceasars in Leederville which we enjoyed overlooking Perth in the beautiful Kings Park...

Here are a couple photos from our dinner in Freo... we didn't take the camera to Kings Park...




...fatty me @ 38 weeks... :)
