June

This month has been so full of highs and lows my best friends little grandaughter tragically passed away aged 7 months from SIDS RIP little one . Noels cousin passed away as well at 47 way to soon and one of the girls I work with lost her little granson at just 30 minutes old all in the same week so so sad xoxoxoxo
Great news for the month Luke and Laureena got engaged while they were in Sydney having a few days break so big excitement for the Todd and Scott familys we wish them all the love and happiness in thier new adventure together xoxoxoxo They are here for a couple of days
Holidays are on again and its been miserable weather and I am stilll battling this rotten flu and most everything I wanted to do involved a hose and water I have given It a miss although yesterday found me out in the rain shovelling the 3 meters of crusher dust that we had delivered to combat the bog that is our driveway but its done but sore arms today
next week we need to reseed the back yard as Jeremy has ripped it up on his motorbike so its also a bog hole as well maybe after the grandkids have been
Anabel Oliver and Mia are coming to stay next week for a couple of days Monday will go to Brisbane and hang out Jeremy has a traineeship day in the city so will be a full week and am yet to conquer the bag of stuff I bought home to do over the holidays

Finally

well I finally got my computer fixed thanks to Noel we have had a shocking run mine lost a file and couldn't get it back and then Noels year and a half old computer dies grrrrr anyhow all good new hard drive coming finally for Noels after sending the last one back and with mine I can finally access things a lot quicker than our olddell that just keeps on chuggin.
Finally we made it out to Luke and Laureenas for the long weekend made extra long when i had the Friday off work we had the best time the house they are living in is great nice and big with a big yard not bad for 113 dollars a fortnight and most importantly a wood fire because it is actually bloody cold out there. We went to Nindigully pub for lunch on the Saturday OMG food overload and also ran into some locals from Beauy in the bar small world .Sunday we spent at the St George show  to watch Lukes junior band play had a bit of a look around and headed out to check out a few places around town and we also went to visit some old friends it was soooo good to see them and check out thier old house. Monday spend travelling home again Jem and I came home with Laureena who had appointment s in Brissy before she headed back out on Wednesday . Next time we are going to go for longer my girlfriend works 3 days a week in Cunnamulla and Quilpie and they have just rented a house out there so she doesn't have to stay at the pub so we are going to stay with her and check those places out just not sure when Noel can get holidays at the same time as me  can't wait.
Happy Birthday to my 2 girls  Kasey for the 6th and Kaitlyn for the 11th we went out to dinner with Kaitlyn last night and had the best time haven't laughed so much for along time.

Happy New Year everyone hope that its filled with love laughter and all things good.
Very slack yet again and i plan hopefully this year to spend a bit more time on my blog. Christmas was busy as always and we finally had all of our kids sleepover on christmas night so it was loud and a little bit rude at times but it was lovely its been soooo long since they were all here together.
Anabel and Oliver loved chrissy she is getting that little bit older and the excitement rubbed of on to Ollie . She loves her Dora computer, barbies and pillow pet dog funniest moment when she opened a doctors set from santa 'mummy I don't think santa understood that I only like princess things' and promptly gave the set to her little brother. Ollies favourite was a toy vacuum cleaner and broom he loves brooms mops etc so am now going to buy hima trolley one for his birthday the poor vaccy has vacuumed all our cement and grass and everwhere else and gets dragged everywhere .
Was disapointed with aust post though paid for kaseys pressie to come via express and it arrived 5 days later bought her an Olympus 3000 camera waterproof shockproof freezeproof nifty little camera..... Noel did not get his nikkon camera new plan is to save for this for this year he did get his play station 3 though so not all is lost......need to convince the boys now is the time to sell all the ps2 and the hundreds of games we have here taking up space. Have been cleaning out all the junk and putting my house back together after the years work . have started my chrissy box already for next year I found it heaps easier to do it this way we went shopping just before chrissy and we only spent a few hundred dollars picking up all the adults gift the kids had been finished months before except for hungy hippos game .
Boxing day was a rush took the kids to meet thier dad at browns plains came home and we headed back to see War Horse I loved it very sad though Nat and Tom went to see Tintin . Nathan loves Tintin and has always been but found out that my BIL Paul is too so my boys found a boxed set of Tintin adventures for him while out shopping the other night . nat has filled my watch list on ebay up with all the tintin stuff that he would like and is most dissapointed that he can't have it until either his birthday or chrissy .
It was great to catch up with Jen and Paul and Josh and Chev and Jewels but sadky missed Car and Jay and miss K probably passed them coming home from the movies....
Luke and Laureena's moving date has been bought foward a week so I went up to help them pack on friday. Saturday 7th is the pick up date for thier furniture and they leave on Sunday delivery is on monday in St George we were going to go out with them but Noel is going back to work on monday and he is in charge so its not gonna happen hopefully before i go back to work on the 20th . All the best on the move it funny that you won't be just an hour up the road......they are really looking foward to the challenge Laureena is all decked out with a new computer for all her online study and hopeful that she will have a job at the school as well. Luke is very happy that he got a job and a fulltime one to boot out of his graduating class of 19 only 2 have jobs the 2 that were prepared to go anywhere one is off to barcaldine and luke of course to st george.
