Photo Evidence

so here goes, a photographic journey of the last 3 months - starting with Nat, Stix & Zoe's visit to NZ, The Noodle's 3rd Birthday, our trip to SA and then home again - ENJOY !
David spent alot of time with "my cousin" Zoe and his Aunty Natalie including a wonderful trip to the Bay Of Islands and Pahia http://www.paihia.co.nz/
lots of fun was had with Ashlee & Logan too !



David's 3rd Birthday Party was held at The Froggatt's - very generous of Kathryn to host it - as our house was a complete shambles as we moved the next day - Kathryn also made the wonderful racing car cake - which david DID NOT want to cut, he just wanted to ride the cars on the track !

It was an exhausting day for boys & their dad's :)
the next day (moving day) was his actual birthday and he opened more presents, sitting in a packed box, whilst talking to Granny Patsi, Grampa Moi, Sue & Aunty Sal on Skype - gotta love technology !!


Deon and Stix got on like a house on fire (first time they had met) - they went fishing and caught a great snapper and then came home and made a BBQ in our new house - which we absolutely love !!

CAPE TOWN

With Shanti and "My Friend Jacqui"

With Aunty Tammy & Cousin Maya on Halloween - David was dressed as the Tokilosh - we spent a lot of time in Kommetjie - we really enjoyed being there - it was just like home - no high walls, no burglar bars ;)


David was intrigued with the 2010 Soccer World Cup Mascot at Cape Town Int.


BACK HOME IN WHANGAREI


With Casey - who I look after 1 day a week while his mom Karyn, is at work - in the Mulberry Bush and having lunch (KD the dog in the background)


Super Cool Noodle and all dressed up as a pirate in a life jacket for Logan's 8th Pirate Birthday Party - we all went over to Limestone Island http://www.limestoneisland.org.nz/ for a picnic - it was a great day !




yes, that is me ironing and me behind dave's boat on a biscuit - no Photoshop, i know, hard to believe but I did do both !!

Body Snatchers

i know i have a huge blog to do of the past 2 months i.e. noodles 3rd birthday and our wonderful trip to SA but first I thought you would all like to know that aliens have landed and have taken over mine and deon's bodies'. Why do we say this ? Last week, Deon mowed and trimmed our lawns to perfection and then he and David made a bird feeder and I made a home-made chicken pie - what do you think ? ;)
