This post is for Belinda

I have nothing exciting to write about the baby other than my Platelet levels went up to 48.  Its still quite low and a long way from the normal range but at least it went up and not down again.  I will know more when I see the blood specialist on Friday.

35 sleeps until we fly off to sunny FIJI

I am not sure if anyone has heard any reports on these but I have just pre ordered 1 from SCRAPSHOTS (I am still a consultant for them) I am talking a bout a “Cricut” machine.  There seems to be a bit of a buzz going on about these at the moment, I think they got some reviews from the Scrapbooking Expo in Brisbane earlier this month.  If you have heard anything let me know.  You can have a look at them on the web site  www.cricut.com

My oldest DD Chloe had her 8^th Birthday on Monday 19^th.  I cannot believe that I have 8 year old, time flies.  Below is a photo of her and her friends just before they went to the pictures.  Chloe is the one with the black top and army pants.  Yes she is very fashion conscience.  If it has Roxy, Billabong or Rip Curl on it, it is cool.  She had to get some new bikini’s for Fiji and she just had to have Roxy ones but during the middle of winter it is not that easy to get bikini’s but we did find some mambo ones at Skin, Ski and Surf (her favourite shop).

Luckily she still is a little girl at heart she still loves to play with her Bratz Dolls and play dress ups.  That keeps me happy because I don’t want her to grow up to quickly.

That all the news for now.

I hope it keeps you happy B.  LMAO

Talk soon

Keep safe and happy

I am so hopeless at remembering to do this blog thing!!!

We have had a busy few weeks but I am not really sure what we were busy doing??????

Jasper is still not in his room yet but Craig finished painting it last night so there are only a few other little things that need doing and he will be moving back in.  Hopefully everyone will get a better night sleep when he moves out of the room with Chloe!!!!  I thought that Georgia and him mucked around and talked a lot but him and Chloe are just insane.  2 weeks together has been well and truly long enough.

Craig and I became godparents last Sunday along with our friends Kylie and Billy.

Our goddaughter is the beautiful Charlotte, Daughter to Carolyn and Anthony.

Kylie and I have been friends for years and Carolyn has become a very close friend to us both, she is such a sweet and beautiful girl, I am glad we have become friends.

Becoming a god parent is all very new to me as I have not been christened nor have my hubby or our children so I quite nervous about it all, but the whole thing went off beautifully, I feel very special and proud that Carolyn asked us to be a part off it.

Below is a photo of the godparents and beautiful Charlotte.

Nothing much else to report, the kids start swimming lessons again on Sunday so they are looking forward to that.  The Deb ball is on tonight.  I will see how tired Georgia is and if she is not to tired I will take her and Chloe to have a look.  Chloe was a flower girl last year and there is a chance Georgia may be asked to do it next year so we really should go and have a look.

I will add a few more photos to the gallery too.

Keep happy and safe.

Talk soon.

Why do thing never turn out the way you want them too.

Our quick painting job turned into a full room renovation.  We decided the old plaster need replacing so we spend our whloe weekend ripping out the old stuff and hanging the new plaster.  If you have ever done plastering you will know what a shit off a job it is. We have had lots of renovations done to our home but a builder has always done the work but this time Craig decided to do it himself and I can tell you that he will never ever do it again.  I think he will just stick to fixing cars and trucks.

 Here are a few work in progress shots

We did nothing else other than work on the room so there is nothing else exciting to report.

I hope you all had a safe and happy easter.

 Talk soon

Love Cherie x

I am not sure yet how exactly how to add photo's but I have put 2 photos in my gallery

The 1st photo is of Jasper with a black eye. 

The 2nd photo is the exact opposite of the first.  It is of Jasper playing with his favourite doll he calls Charlotte.  He is such a real boy who is rough and loves cars and tucks and all that type of stuff but he just love Charlotte so much (the real charlotte)that he just has to have a doll to love and care for too.  A great photo to bring out at his 21st.
