Happy Birthday to my cousin Tori

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TORI

She is nice, funny, pretty, playful, smart, giggly and she is really really good at hockey and running and I love her very much!

We always have so much fun together :)

My special visit

On Friday after school James, Matt and Jane called in for a visit, especially to see me because when they were going out for dinner with my Mum and Dad on Saturday night I would be staying down at Aunty Tracey's house because I had a reconciliation class, so anyway I had a hold of James.  He was so cute but a bit squirmy and wriggly.  He was a very smiling baby.  I am glad I got to see him for the first time.  Thank you Jane and Matt for calling in to see me ;-)

Daddy's Birthday

This was the day after Daddy's Birthday but it was pretty much like his birthday to him.  We had a caramel mud cake with a surprise kind of candles which has coloured flames, blud, red, orange and green.  We sang Happy Birthday to him and the cake was delicious and Daddy was very very pleased.  

Look at Zak he thinks his brother is pretty big.

Dad was very excited about getting to eat the special birthday cherry. and Locke said 'you can have the cherry Dad 'cause you're the Birthday Boy'!

Locke pulling the candles off the cake his special job every birthday.

The Thongs

I did some photography at the beach on Bruny with Dad's special camera.  I decided to take Dads thongs for a walk and take some photos of them because I thought he might like the shots as he is a very arty person.  I thought that he might be able to use some of these for MONA.  haha...

Friday with a Bang!

Daddy went to Bruny last Friday, but we decided to go over on Saturday morning.  So this is what happened on Friday...

Friday morning we headed off to Cygnet for a small gathering for my mum's old Principal Mr. Butterworth.  We go to meet lots of new people and some of Mummy's old teachers.  My Principal at Sacred Heart Mrs. Morgan was also there because she worked with him at my mum's old school St James College.

After this we went to the Red Velvet Lounge and had some delicious, just absolutely scrumptious, potatoe cakes and hot chocolate with Nanny, Hannah and Keely.

After this we went to visit Mum's cousin Cathy and her baby Lincoln who is only 1 week younger than Zak.  

Then we drove to Glen Huon to visit Nanny and Poppy Woolley.  We walked in to find strawberry baby cakes and we got to ice them with pink icing and sprinkles and we ate all of them.  I took some photos.

We drove to Huonville and we saw Claire, Riley and Grace there.  We ordered some Chinese for Dinner, then we went back to Nanny's and Catherine, Cameron, Jack and Travis came up to have some with us.

Then we had a bath and I wasn't feeling too good (I think I had too many cakes and pork balls), and we went to bed.

City of Clarence 40th Eistedford

Last Thursday the Grade 3 choir participated in the 40th City of Clarence Eistedford, which was held at City Wide.  We sang 'Catch A Falling Star' and 'The Music Man'.  We received a Merit Award for our performance.  Mum, Locke, Zak, Grandma and Nanny came to watch me.  I felt very nervous when I got onto the stage, but it was fun.

This is a photo of us with our music teacher Mrs Bourke.  I am standing at the left hand end of the middle row.  Mummy was a long way back so couldn't take a better photo than this.

Here is Zak, sucking his fingers as usual.

Here is Locke, eating a Milo custard.
