Happy Birthday to Me!!!! - Another year older...

| 8:55 PM | Posted by ~*PaKaHaJa*~

Well here we are.. My 28th Birthday. OMG did I just say that...

Thank you to those of you who sent gifts, cards and messages.. Will get around to sending individual emails, thank you's tomorrow when things aren't so hectic around here.


I had a great day!!! Got spoilt as usual. Rich and the kids all got me breakfast in bed, yummo.. Pancakes, and raison toast, and then we did the pressies.. Rich got me a new top and a pair of pants, and the kids got me a new diary for next year, a charm for my bracelet, and a CD that I can put on and bop away to while cleaning the house.

We also went to the zoo, lucky I managed to get everything packed last night and just needed to take out the frozen water and pack that this morning. It was sooo hot at the Zoo today, I think between all of us, we went through 8 litres of water. But we had a GREAT time. James thought it was soo good seeing all the animals. We got to see the SeaLions get fed, and the Lions get fed. It was great. Kristen made sure she saw her favourite animal - COWS!! We had a lovely picnic lunch there, and then stopped for an iceblock when we'd finished. Mum came as well so that was nice.

Last night, Mum invited us over for dinner, because of going out today she knew that we wouldn't make it, and she wanted to give me my pressies as well. So we went round, and my Uncle turned up, (it was his birthday too) I haven't seen him in a year so that was nice to see him again. For my birthday Mum got me some new towels and facewashers, some new tshirts, and 2 new charms for my bracelet, a nice blue topaz earring and necklace set, and a nice pair of red earrings.

Amidst all the excitement of today, was also our 4th Wedding anniversary. Not that we did anything this year, we've decided the years we have the girls we'll just leave it, as it's difficult to go and and do stuff..

Ok better go and get these kids out of the pool. They've been in there since 6pm and it's now 8pm. They only got out for dinner (Pizza) and then went back in. Luckily I can see the pool from the kitchen where the computer desk is. And there's only the girls and James in there. Before I go though here are some piccies of today...








There are some more photos with the girls in them, but they're on Mum's camera, so will have to put them up tomorrow when I do the Christmas post...

Take care Love Gail. xoxoxo

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Thought I'd pop in and wish everyone a


VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS
hope you all have a great day and get spoilt rotten...

We're going to be having a quiet christmas this year.. Well quiet compared to other years, this year there will be no driving to Brisbane to either pick up or drop off the girls. We have them ALL of christmas day which will be brilliant. We're going to have the morning at home opening pressies, and then will go to Mum's for lunch. So very, very quiet.

It's interesting to see James getting into Christmas. He still doesn't quite get the concept of father christmas but is loving all the christmas decorations up in the shops and at home, and of course wants all the presents that are under the tree.. So I'm hoping that by next year he'll totally understand christmas.

We were at Mum's yesterday, and she had bought the boys an elf out-fit each. So we dressed the boys up as elves, Kristen as Rudolph and Phoebe as a Fairy. They all look soo cute.




Hope everyone has a GREAT Christmas tomorrow.. Take care and will be back with photos later.

It is with a heavy heart that I post this.

A good friend of mine gave birth today to a sleeping angel.

RIP sweet little girl, you will be missed..


Caroline, Mat, Jack and Charla, I am sorry beyond words that this had to happen to your family. As I have said many times to you in the last 24 hours since you found out about your angel, I (we) are all here for you anytime you need us. Take time to grieve for your precious angel and will talk to you soon.

Lots of love

Harrison sitting at the park in Handorf. I love this piccie so much that I've decided it's his birthday photo for this year.

James and Harrison at the same park. James wasn't going to have his photo taken at that point, and my Harry Harry just smiled away.

Harrison walking at a friends place.

Harry and Me with his new hat that Auntie Lizzie gave him for his birthday.

Happy Birthday Harry Boy!!!

OMG I can't belive that Harrison is 1 already.

This time last year I was sitting in a hospital bed recovering from a C/Section, and now here I am with a walking, talking 1 year old.

The day started off quite late for us. Neither of the boys woke until 8:30am, and then it was James yelling out for Rich or I to get up and get him out of bed. Rich and I both got up, and then I heard Harrison so got him up as well. As soon as he saw his presents in the loungeroom that was it. He wanted to open them straight away.

After he opened his presents, we had breaky and then decided to head up to Handorf (which is a small german village in the hills) A friend of mine is leaving Adelaide tomorrow (Monday) to go back to Ipswich. Her Hubby is in the Army and so is being posted back there. So thought it would be a nice day to go for a drive. What a mistake that was....

Today of all days was the annual Motorcycle Fun Run from Adelaide to Handorf. Where Motorcyclists from all over Australia ride their bikes from Adelaide to Handorf with toys for underprivilledged children for Christmas. On our drive up there we passed, and we passed by heaps of bikes, but we weren't prepared for the amount that were already there. Once we arrived in Handorf we managed to find a park and started walking towards the main street when ALL the bikes started riding past. There must have been at least 2000 bikes in total. For the next hour I reckon, there was a constant, steady stream of bikes riding down the main street towards the oval. James of course thought it was GREAT, and kept saying, look mummy johns bike johns bike. It was soo cute.

Once the bikes had finished we met up with Linsey who only had Patrick with her. Addison was back in the hotel room sleeping with her hubby Adam. So we had lunch, and then went back to her hotel room and had a chat. I couldn't get over how grown up Addison is, he will be 4 months old on Christmas Eve. It will be sad not to be able to meet up with her anymore, but we now have an extra place to visit when we go back to QLD for holidays.

It was then on to Mum's for dinner and desert. YUM YUM!!!! Will some back and post some pics for all to see later... Better get going and put these two tired boys to bed...
Take care
Love Gail.
