Photo night at the hockey club… so I took a photo of Willow getting her photo taken! lol!
Xani was debating getting all her hair cut off today, but I think she is happy with the trim she had instead ♥
I was already in bed when I remembered that I hadn't taken todays photo… up I got, grabbed my camera and began stalking… I heard a noise from the girls bathroom and hid around the corner like the paparrazi… Zoe spotted me and tried to hide, but it was too late… resistance was futile! Bwahahahahaha!
Xan and Willow love it when Pa comes to visit… Pa, on the other hand, might be regretting his decision to fly up from Victoria! LOL!
Damn, I'm good at making girls! Just check out these beauties!
♫ Cheer, cheer, the red and the white… Honour the name by day and by night… Lift that noble banner high… Shake down the thunder from the sky! ♫
The Sydney Swans only play in Queensland once this year, and we were not going to miss it! We travelled down to Metricon Stadium on the Gold Coast and watched our mighty Swannies trounce the Gold Coast Suns by 72 points! YAY!!
Darci doing her goalie thing… we missed the shot of her saving a goal from a stroke; on her stick side!! It was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!! Reflexes like a ninja!!
(photo taken by Zoe)
Willow at hockey training… looking totally spunky in her new training strip.
Xan (third from left) qualified for the District Athletics in the 800m race, at her recent school athletic carnival… heats were run today… she was fantastic, even though she much prefers the longer distances (1500m+)… she didn't qualify for the finals tomorrow, but I am so very proud of her effort today ♥
(taken with my HTC phone)
She's a cheeky little ratbag… just check out that look of mischief!!
Our new phones arrived today (for Russ, Zoe, Darci and I)… but guess who is still phone-less?!… apparently it is an absolute travesty for an 11 year old to STILL not have a phone!!… oh well, just another thing to tell her future therapist 🙂
This is what passes as 'Daddy/Daughter' bonding time around here… a family that kills zombies together, stays together! (Darci is playing in the same game, on another computer, in the same room!!)
Xanthia is off to a 'Horror Disco' birthday party… does this look 'horrific' enough!?
Taken from my front yard… there is usually a hill there 🙂
Another rainy day… and another gorgeous visitor to the newly erected birdhouse ♥
Not even the rain could keep the beautiful Rainbow Lorikeets away from a free feed ♥
There is no two ways about it… my baby is simply stunning ♥
Sisters in Arms… Xan filled in for Darci hockey team tonight… 2-0 Win! YAY!!
The Blue team awaits our briefing under the blue light… we may not look like a crack team of killers (especially the shivering Xanthia)… but we went on to kick ass in the Laser-Tag team challenge!! Hoo-Ah!!
Emmett is getting in the State-of-Origin/Fourth of July spirit! lol!
(please don't call the RSPCA – the bottle was EMPTY – I swear!!)
The girls (including the extra we have for the night) have decided they are camping out… seemed like a good idea at 5pm… but we'll see how keen they are at midnight!
UPDATE: They slept in there ALL night!
Look what was waiting for Jaimi and I when we arrived back from Sydney ♥
After we had feed her all the carrots, and all the bread… Melody the Donkey started eying off my camera!… but she was still super lovely ♥♥♥
Hello stranger… Willow has been staying with a friend for a couple of nights… I didn't think she was ever going to come home!
More soap and water fun on the trampoline… now 28 days into winter!!
Xan has a friend staying over, so she is a little… well?… let just say 'excited'… yeah. 'Excited'… lol!
It was the yelling that brought me to the room… high stakes, apparently!
Whatever it was… Xan thought it was hilarious!
Not a bad way to spend a Saturday night, after a hard day of hockey.
Last day of term two, and Xan and Willow had their athletics carnival!… fun, fun, fun… and green came away in 2nd place! YAY!!
If we were talking on a 'cost per play' basis, then you can't get a better value toy than Lego… five 'big' kids and a ton of Lego that still gets played with week after week… love it! ♥
Zeus is 11 years old now… and is 'tolerating' 4 month old Emmett beautifully… not that that is an easy task! (especially since they already see eye-to-eye, and Emmett is almost double Zeus' weight!) lol!
Another beautiful sunset while watching the hockey… Zoe's team won 1-0 by scoring just 2 minutes before full time! Awesome game!
One gorgeous, amazing, compliant daughter… and Darci.
