New CU and "baby" in house.

Oh my gosh! I'm a new "mommy" all over again and I had forgotten just how much you have to have eyes in the back of your head with a little one! lol. But as I said to my good friend and CT member Jenni Rousseau (who has just become a 1st time Grandmother to a gorgeous little girl Mia... WOOOP), that I seem to be getting in some practise before "my own grandchildren"- lol

I just want to take the time to CONGRATULATE Jenni and Mark on becoming "grandparents" and of course to Mom Nadia and Dad Tristan on the birth of their seriously gorgeous baby Girl Mia Violet

Mia Tooo sweet for words! I know Jenni is going to be scrapping many new pages soon- lol

Deon my dear friend who never had much time for "pets" until he helped RESCUE our other dog Sherlock.. Decided that dear Sherlock needed a "pal" and had organized us his "sister" through a breeder.. We received her the day after we arrived back from holiday last week.. lol ( can you say CHOAS in the house! lol)
She's a pitch black French miniature Poodle same as Sherlock is ..and we called her "Pepsi" ;-P

p1
This was taken the day after we received her and LOVED the expression on poor Sherlock's face - Huh? What...who the hell are you and what the hell you doing here?- BWHAHAHA
p2
I'm teething and eating up my new "mom's and Dad's shoes" if they leave 'em out of a cupboard.. "Dad" already lost most of the fur around his leather slippers and my poor hands look like I've gone through a glass window pane!- BWAHAHA

Today all is well in the house and the two are now running amok and playing well together (phew- I can breath a bit now) and both "die" at night after being "played out". We haven't had one "oops" in the house from her either- WOOHOO *ok touching wood quick!* :-P  I'm sure she will keep us busy and hopping for quite a while still but the laughter sure makes up for "tired parents syndrome"- HAHAHAHAHA!

Mixed Matters and a few holiday pics + freebie

OMGOSH! Seems I've been gone for years huh? lol. We had a fantastic mid year family holiday and the kids kept us "hopping" every single day (and night! lol).

We had the usual 'family competitions" on every activity ( mom's second name should be SECOND- as that's where I came on every activity- BWHAHAHAH) We played Golf (x2 games), Adventure Golf, Tenpin Bowling just about every night (my poor @ss was soooo stiff! lol), Squash, arcade games, Fishing of course, horse ride, walks, Water Park rides and of course general exploring too.. phew and all that in only 10 days!

A few photo's for you to see how awesome it is here that in the middle of winter we could still wear shorts, T's and hit the water without cringing.  lol

1 The first Family Golf Tournament ( and yes I came second! lol) - stunning course right on the beach front!

2Nearly "Entertaining Friends- well Family this time" out of the mud.. but as you can see I got the ball out and left my white jacket still white(this time)! BWHAHAHA

3 Wayne catching a fish.. love this shot!

5 

HA.. what Dad can do I can do better-lol

4

Love this pic.. it's just sooo my "boys".

And my fav out of the whole bunch.. taken at the water park getting ready to be flipped up a wall at the end of this tube.. just LOVE the expressions! BWHAHAHAHA.

Wheeeeeee by the time this posts I should be on the road already and a few hours away from seeing my kids! I can hardly wait anymore as it's got to that time when I start feeling like I need to go home...lol. The whole family has been soo excited this week and the days are dragging to be honest! Nathan and Wayne have been on the phone everyday organising their fishing and golfing stuff and have booked a deep sea fishing charter already. Kristy goes with them too...but Yikes they can keep that one for themselves as I suffer badly from sea sickness. I'll take some quiet time in the hotel casino with a nice cup of coffee.. BWHAHAHAHA.
