Great Sunday

I had the best day today. I was really excited to go and see mum compete today in Caloundra. I had seen her pics and all that, but actually seeing her on stage was sooo amazing! I had massive butterflies the whole time watching her...she looked just like a life size Barbie doll up there...it was crazy to think that was my mum!! I was only there for the prejudging so was preoccupied for the rest of the day waiting to see how she placed. She had already gotten a second in a show yesterday..which is brilliant...and to add to that she won her class!
Its great to go and watch something I have never really thought about or been interested in. Hubby and I sat there amased the first few classes, watching men flex and strain themselves trying to out muscle there fellow compeditor. You did great Mum!!! You deserve a nice break from all that now though...it will be nice to see your shiny new trophy!!


The last part of my day was spent taking my gorgeous kids to the beach. We had just finished watching Mum and decided to take a walk on the beach before we left to go home. Hubby stated that he wished there was a beach like this at home we could take the kids...then we realised the is...as Bribie Island were we live sits just off the coast of Caloundra...so has extacly the same sort of beach. So after thanking my grandparents for once again watching the kids (like they mind) we took them to our perfect beash 5 mins drive from home. We had only been there 2 mins when the kids were already saturated and we realised we didnt bring any changes of clothes...or towles..lucky we live only 5 mins away huh.Its great to see Joseph loving the water, he used to be scared to take a bath!

Anyway this is getting a bit long...and probably a bit boring....

Heres to people you love reaching there goals!

Terrible Twos

When I first had my son, Joseph, everyone always told me as to how I was so lucky to have such a good baby.

Our beautiful baby boy

He slept thought the night from 6 weeks old, he never really had tantrums, or played up and was good to take out shopping. We had a bit of trouble potty training but that's about it.

Chips with Daddy


I was warned when pregnant with Lily how I was too lucky with my first and my second will be a monster. When she was born...I was in love..such a beautiful baby girl.


We names her Lily Grace, and it suited her down to the ground. She too slept through the night a 6 weeks and was always really well behaved....

I love the bath!

that was until about 6 months ago....that's right folks...we are now entering the terrible twos!!!! Dun Dun DUN!!!

Look Mum, I found the flour!

Where had my sweet little girl gone??? I use to scoff at parents bemoaning their 'terrible two year old's'. My husband and I would comment on how it was just the parenting style...look at Joseph, he never throws tantrums.
But as I prised the toothpaste out my screaming daughters hands to stop her eating it and shut the bathroom door to stop her getting it again...I stared down the barrel of a terrible two year old tantrum....I am one of those parents....

First Blog

Hi, well this is my first blog...I bet that has been that start of a b'zillion blogs, but hey...why break with tradition huh.
So I'm a 27yr old mother of a 4yr old son and a daughter who is 2. I live on Bribie Island...gods waiting room, in sunny Queensland, Australia. My Hubby and I moved over here from New Zealand in 05 for a bit of a sea change.
At the moment I'm trying to get in shape for my Friends wedding in March 2010. I'm also looking into being an egg donor for someone, which is another reason I'm trying to get fit, so I'm nice and healthy and can hopefully produce some nice healthy eggs for someone.
Its breaks my heart to think that women out there can not be as blessed as I am, to have to beautiful, healthy, happy ( slightly annoying) kids. When Hubby and I were thinking about having a sibling for my son, It took me about...hmmmm. a few weeks to get pregnant. It was great ( Hubby felt a bit ripped off lol) and to think some woman go years of heartbreak for something I can do so easily. Anyways I'm hopefully seeing a fertility place here soon, so I'm looking forward to helping someone out.
Well that's enough for now
Talk later!!
