Easter and Visitors

Wow ive been slack haven't I.

Let's see if i can remember.

I think most of you know that Cody had a Lovely (NOT) hair cut at school.. a couple of girls in the class decided to cut Cody a fringe... as you could imagine Brett and I weren't impressed at all. but hey it's school.. don't think she will ever let kids do that to her ever again..

Marli- Swimming lesson's ive now come out of the pool, that is great.. She's going fantastic, she's the only one who actually stay's still on the seat waiting patiently.. But will say she did collapse in the pool one day..

She was standing on there table and the railing around it collapsed and left Marli bobbing up and down.. no one was watching..(i was talking to Cody's old swim teacher) then i noticed.. yelled out to Marli's teacher and thankfully got to her.. mind you a lady inside had seen it but didnt bother yelling out.. I was sooo cranky... This has set Marli back unfortunately she now freaks when she has to go and stay on the table.. hopefully she gets better..

EASTER: We had Matt (Groves) and Ili up from Sydney, (Brett went to school with Matt) they came up on the Tuesday and flew home on the Easter Saturday. They left there kid's at home with Ili's mum... Next time they are bringing them up :) Can't wait to meet them..

Had a great time. Did bits and piece's up here.. and also had a few people up here on Good friday for a BBQ (yes a fish one) ended up being a good night...

While they were here we had Cody's school Easter Hat parade. That was good... Im soooo not creative.. But i still think i did a better job than some at the school..

Easter Sunday, We had a trail of Easter eggs (little ones) that led to the girls big one's.. Marli kept walking past it lol she kept following the track, we had to tell her look there's the big ones.. If people ask Cody did the Easter bunny come she replies with Yes and got LOTS of easter egg's so is that all i need to get next year is little ones but lots off (they do taste better)

After that Brett let me stay in bed while he made Breaky and Cody wanted Chocolate pancakes, She told Brett exactly what to put in them.. um lets say never again, we think the chocolate topping did something as they were flat and didn't really taste that nice... we just stayed home watching Movies all day we were just buggered and on Easter Monday think we just stayed home again (crap weather)

Cody ended up with a cold so had her off school for a day she only went on the Wednesday cause her class was singing at Assembly think most of you got the youtube link, if not let me know I will show you some pic's here.. They sang five little monkeys sitting on the bed... Now all i get off Marli is her singing it.. So cute.. (in the photo she is at the front right at the end looking straight at me.)

She had the Thursday off but went back on the Friday (really should of kept her home) but she wanted to go to sport day (fun run) she was sick poor thing and came last ah well she had fun..

Cody's drawing well we finally can tell what she is drawing now.. she's loving school

We also had a Birthday party to go to at the local play centre girls had a good time, will put up some pic's

Sea World

Well we went to sea world last week with Kylie, Cameron and Tarlay

The first thing we saw was the new Sesame street show, all the girls loved it, with Elmo, Big bird, cookie monster, Ernie etc etc you get the drift (and i can't remember all there names)

Then we went and saw the Dolphin show that's still good can never get bored watching that.

Then the seal show, ok got bored with that... it was more of them acting than seeing the seal's..

Then it was time to let the girls go on rides..

Had the Carosel, then they lined up for the helicopters and it was a long line so i grabbed Cody and put her on another ride, Big Bird Bounce she loved it, its like a mini drop type ride.. she loved it...

after they had some rides we had some lunch (didnt get to watch the water ski show) then it was time for us big kids to have some fun..

Cody is a daredevil wanted to go on any ride she was allowed to, she really wanted to go on the corkscrew but had to be 122cm's and she is only 108cm's..

Brett took her on the Flume while Cameron, myself and Marli went in another boat..

Cody of course loved it, Marli had held of my leg so tight it wasnt funny, then when we went down the thing she shit...

of course we got wet, i asked her if she had fun NO was her reply.. i then let go of her to get her hat and she said mum hold me, so cute..

Then the next ride was the Bermuda triangle, Cody loved it. Marli could of gone on it (height restriction is 95cms and she is 96cms) but she would of crapped her self so we didnt bother.. i stayed with Marli and Tarlay and when everyone got back, Peewee and Cody and I went on it again.

Then it was time for the corkscrew, mmm im not as young as i use to be.. i was glad to be off it..

Then it started to rain and we headed for the 4D show, that was good, Marli didnt like it kept taking her glasses off, Tarlay and Cody kept them on the whole time..

When we left we went ot Hogs Breath for dinner and celebrated Kylie and Cameron's Anniversary with them (it was this day) we left there i think 6,.45 and girls crashed in car and we put them straight to bed didnt even wake up when we got them out of the car (they were in there pj's)

Our Visitors Kylie, Cameron and Tarlay

Kylie, Cameron and Tarlay came up for a little holiday

They got here last friday night and left the sunny coast on the Monday morning and headed down to the Gold Coast..

We had a ball.

Marli lets just say she doesn't normally play with other kids well instigating play and with Tarlay she kept grabbing Tarlays hand and making her come and play with her it was really good..

We, well the girls and I, weren't use to the early morning wake up's don't know how you do it Peewee and Cam.

We ended up going up to Moolooaba for fish and chips on sat for lunch then headed up to Noosa then stopped off at a look out at Coolum (dad the one we took you to) then home for a BBQ and watched a movie..

Sunday we just went to the local markets, had lunch out at a local Italian rest, $5 lunch bargain and it was delicious too and then us girls came home and the men went to the Big Kart Track then they went grocery shopping for dinner as they didnt want to come home while Peewee was watching Brokeback mountain..

Peewee cooked a really nice bake dinner yumm thanks for that Peewee..

here are some pic's i took..

Thanks for staying here guys loved seeing you all :)

Where to Start.

Well Cody is going great at school she is loving it but will say by Friday she is over it.

She is so tired. Thankfully some days she still has a sleep.

She loves Wednesdays as it is Assembly and Thursdays is Library and Friday is sports day.

She is learning so many letters she just loves the letter land, will say it does drive us crazy she she sings it constantly... ah well as long as she is learning that's all that matter's hey.

She can now write Marli all by herself just by using the Letterland sound's even spelling it herself. Were yet to get Mummy or daddy..(or even mum or dad) but it will come, in no rush she will do it when she is ready.

She loves drawing is always drawing stuff for everyone, Don't be surprised if you get something in the mail soon.. But trace Blakes Card is floating around here, might have to do another one as the girls have taken a liking to it.

Will say though, on Friday i got to the school and the teacher came up to me and said some of the girls gave Cody a hair trim..

I saw Cody couldn't see anything so i thought she had the wrong child, well it wasnt till Saturday morning when i was getting her ready for swimming that yes they gave her a lovely NOT fringe so wonky, thin in some parts and thick in an other spot, she looks quiet silly..

Brett wanted to talk to the mums but some of my friends suggested otherwise so i won't mention it to them, don't want to blame them for something i don't know the whole story on..
I did try to talk to the teacher again this morning but she was busy, i want her to talk to them about the safety of using scissors esp near a face..

Marli is great, she has changed she is such a talkative little girl i think Cody and Marli have a competition on who can talk the most i swear they could talk under water if they tried..

But Marli won't talk when she is out of her comfort zone, goodluck even getting a smile out of her...

She hasn't even spoken to her swimming teacher and she's been going since Sept if she has to say yes she just nod's lol

She is loving school (Daycare) well hates me leaving her but has a great day, last week was the first week she didnt actually cry when i left her there, fingers crossed she is fine again tomorrow.. think she now knows i will come back and pick her up.. It makes it easy as she has a little friend there Mel which she just loves...

She's becoming a real little girl...

On our home front we finally have a garden out the front and a letter box yes shock horror i know.. Will take pic's later

Here are a couple of pic's when Brett went ot the drag's of the girls, Marli was so tired she crashed watching a movie

Poor Little Girls

We Took the boat out last sunday..

Had an absolute ball..

Brett was determined for me to have a ski.. I was a bit nervous as i hadn't water skiied for 17years..

Well i proud to say i got up and on the second go.. woohoo.. and didnt even fall off BUT man i was sooooo buggered and sore.. i couldn't even move the next day from the skiing and the sunburn..

Marli didnt get out from under the tree didnt want to go in the boat or the water where as Cody she lived in the water the whole time we where there..

Here is a pic of Poor Marli though got sunburnt, lack of communication with Brett and I.. I never do there face's and he does but he got too busy with the boat (putting it in the water and it breaking down allll the time even had to pull it out after 4 hours they even got towed back to the boat ramp)

The Girls with there Cuddly Bears

Granny and Grandpa bought the girls these cute bears for xmas..

Marli's is the chocolate brown one Cody's is the light brown one

I think Marli was in a mood one day and was lying on Cody's bed so Brett went in there and started to play with the Marli and the bears, Then it was Cody's turn.

Where's Marli

I was doing some cleaning last week and Marli decided to play hide and seek..

Can you find her

She was having a ball in there didn't want to get out
