Funny things they say

Tahlia: insisted on bringing her baby stroller, baby and handbags into Canelands (shopping centre) today. Lo and behold she lost her handbag. Isabella and I were madly rushing from shop to shop to find it. Tahlia's solution? Call the "prime minister!". Hahahahaha!! Yeah I think she's got a few more things to be worrying about than your lost handbag!

Isabella: reading Little Red Riding Hood to me tonight. Picture of wolf salivating and words describing the wolf questioning LRRH about her Grandma's whereabouts. Isabella tells me she wouldn't be telling the wolf anything about her Grandma because a dribbling wolf is a greedy wolf!! Hehehehe!!

Funny stuff!

Happy 8th Birthday Bella

So it appears I have an 8 year old!!!! How crazy is that???

Isabella was 8 on the 8th of July and Michael, Tahlia and I all had the day off with Bella for she birthday and added bonus Grandpa and Nonna came to visit from the Sunshine Coast!!

We hadn't seen each other in 6 months and had a great few days together.

We all travelled to Airlie Beach on Friday to stay overnight. We stopped at Cedar Creek Falls for lunch and birthday cake on the way up. What a gorgeous spot. A few crazy tourists were even swimming.

Michael and Bella walked the track up to the top of the falls.

We stayed at Peppers Resort which was quite flash with a beautiful view.

A lovely dinner in Airlie that evening and we headed to the beach front where some fire twirlers were practicing their craft - quite spectacular.

We did a bit of sight seeing on Sat and found an unbelievable block we wished we were millionaires so we could buy it!!

Home sweet home and the rest of the weekend was spent baking, playing Chinese checkers and building a vegetable garden - can't wait today some rocket fresh from the garden.

Such a lovely way to spend a few days!




A lady beetle cake for the birthday girl!


Cedar Creek Falls - great rocks for skipping across the water!






Grandpa, Nonna, Tahlia and Bella
