Growing up....

These girls have been friends for 6 years.... So cute to watch them all grow up but still be buddies.... We went camping to Dongara for a week with all of them and their families... Was a great time!

Is it just me or does Sophie all of a sudden look about 14.... Yikes! Such a sweet, kind, caring girl! Xx

Birthday breakfast for Sophie

Happy 11th birthday Sophie

Hard to believe yet Sophie turned 11 years old a couple of weeks ago!!!  Where did those years go!!  She was soooooo excited for her 11th birthday and her disco party with friends.  Once again she told me at the end of the day..."this was my best birthday ever"....yep, she says it every year!  So cute!

So there was lots of music, games were played, dance offs and an "Ocean Reef's got talent" competition...lots of fun and also very loud!!  The rainbow cake i made was a big hit and also quite easy...the kids loved it!

 Dancing and more dancing...friends having fun!

Sadie the wonder puppy getting some love from the party guests as well.....

Halloween

Sophie and Luc's first time trick or treating!!! They LOVED it! We love our new neighbourhood! We had a few friends come over and we all went together. We just walked a couple of streets and only went to the house that seemed

Welcoming, some had Halloween decorations put the front, balloons etc.... The kids all received a few chocolates and lollies! Lots of fun! When we got home we had a few trick treaters come to visit us.... The kids loved it just as much!!

Weekend getaway to Gingin

We had a lovely weekend to Gingin again last month! We went with a few other families and had such fun playing " pioneers"!!! We made a fire and kept it going all day! We had to take turns being on charge of it and we also "cooked" stuff.... Like lemons and apples!! We also made perfume from leaves and flowers!! It was soooooo much fun especially when we all got rides on the quad bike 👍👍!!

Seven

Luc had his 7th birthday on Saturday! Hard to believe we have had 7 years of Luc!! He had a great day and in typical Luc fashion started the day at 545 am....Didn't  want to miss a thing!! He had 5 of his friend over for lunch and then we took them all to "Go Bananas", an indoor play gym where the boys could run and play and literally..." Go bananas"!!!  Afterwards we headed back home for birthday cake and another play! He loved his Minecraft cake i made ... ) even though to me it looked more like the edge of a cliff!!)   We finished off the afternoon with visits from Nanny, Grandpa and Aunty Em, Uncle Carl, Jack, Sari and Kai!   Watching "Ironman" with Daddy was the finale of the day, though Luc really only saw the first 10 minutes of it as he fell fast asleep.... Totally exhausted!! 

Another certificate for Luc....

Luc received another merit certificate last Friday at the school assembly!! Clever boy xxx
