BOYS!!

We've had a few days of on and off showers and heavy rain. Yesterday the boys had, had enough and decided it was play time in the slosh we call our yard!



Blue Eyes enjoying himself!



Cowboy giving himself a bath apparently! and Enjoying it haha



The dog couldn't be out done he had to join in on the fun and games as well!! And got just as dirty as the boys, but poor Bruce will stay that way until a sunny day, as it is pouring again whilst i type this..



After enough in the slosh, it was time to jump it off!

Our summer this year is suppose to be wetter than normal... I'm not happy with this, But can't change it! It hasn't really heated up a great deal, still some humid days from the rain but not as hot as it usually is this time of year...
We had a great time at Ben's work Xmas party on the weekend, the boys got to see Santa, get some lollies and balloon swords to play with. And other kids to wear them out! Oh and a jumping castle they loved it. Topped off with a sleepover at nana and grandads house. Perfect!
Hope you all had a great weekend as well :-)

Yesterday's harvest!

Look at this basket of goodies....



All out of our garden and Ben's aquaponics! There is also a heap of lettuce in the aquaponics ready for picking! yum!!

Just a quick post today, we got a new computer, we are only renting it though. One of those rent it schemes from Dick Smiths. Suits our budget right now and gives us a computer back!

Hope your all well, it's almost the weekend yay! We have Ben's work Xmas party tomorrow night so that will be some fun! Catch you all soon :-)

AGAIN!!!

I told you it was going to happen, the second cord for the laptop has fried itself.. so this time It.s not getting fixed. we will look at a new cheap laptop\notebook\netbook thing. lol. posts will be on the low again or just photos. Onto some good news, i went to my Gp who sent me for an eye check up. my eye sight is good. but the optomertrist said he thinks i have allergic conjunctivitas. which could be caused from anything i use on myself to plants or something in the air. so begins the process of elimination! we are also putting up our christmas decos tomorrow, inside and out. the boys can.t wait, their cousins are coming to help lol. hope your christmas activities are traveling well. :-)

Bleh...

I have sort of not been feeling so great over the last few weeks, with some yukky headaches and eye aches.. (the reason for not so many posts). I've finally had enough and am off to the Dr's today to sort it out... I'm already thinking that it's some sort of eye strain, but hey I'm no Dr. I'm secretly hoping it's not that bad, extra money to fork out at Xmas time for medical expenses is not fun, but if it's needed then it's needed. Everyone's prezzies will be my health hahaha!!!

Something exciting now, we are receiving our chrisco food hampers this week.. We love it and have been doing it for at least 4 years now. I know it would prob cost less to buy it all from our local supermarket, but having to also get the prezzies and battle the crowds for that this time of year. something to make our life a little easier and it's paid off over the year is fantastic. We also got the boys big prezzies through it this year. Even though i stuffed up one of the codes and have something coming i didn't want. It will get put to good use for Blue eye's birthday next march.

Anywho, enough computer time for me. Hope your all having a good week :-)

P.s Sent off my prac assessment for acrylic nails yesterday, so within the next couple of weeks will find it if I've passed it all or not!!

back online.

We now have a new cord for the laptop. But don't know how long it will last, seems where it plugs into the laptop gets quite hot and eventually fries the cord so it doesn't work properly... So i see a new laptop in the near future :( more money to spend.. Oh well it never stops really!

On a brighter note, we had an excellent time camping with friends and family on the weekend, i will post some photo's in the next couple of days. But if your wanting a peek at some now go to our very close friends blog on my side bar of favourite blogs, It's called 1 Small Masterchef and Co. Will give you a huge laugh!

I'm off to get ready for work today. Hope you all had a great weekend!

catch not possible..

have been meaning to do a post the last few days, and because i haven't the laptop charger has died and It.s run out of battery.. hopefully we can purchase a new cord that won't cost us much. we are going camping this weekend and are all very excited! will take some photo's and hopefully be able to post them soon! :-) by the way this is being posted by my mobile phone. handy but time consuming!

Our Fishing Adventure.

We had a fantastic time on our fishing charter yesterday! My arms are sore, a little sun burnt, but that just means it was GOOD! Our first stop once out in the ocean was frustrating. Rainbow beach has a colony of Mutton birds descended on them, and i managed to catch 6 of the little blighters on my line, i also have the scratches to prove it! lol. But we pushed on, the birds tried to follow but eventually gave up! Thank goodness!

It was the best day for fishing, the sun was shining, hardly any wind about, PERFECT! And it was pretty much full of fishing, if we weren't fishing we were holding on travelling to a new spot. We all ate whilst fishing! No mucking around! Just what i wanted to, it was a full on day, but i love fishing SO much more now!




Our Catch!! Of course we caught alot more than this, but alot were under size and had to go back to grow! We have, a Cobia, Blue Tuna, Sweet lip, Moses Perch and some pearl perch! Funny thing is, i don't seafood! So Ben has some eating to do!




The boys getting excited over all the fish we got to bring home!




Ben and I with our BIG fish!
Ben holding a Cobia, and myself with my Tuna! My tuna was the biggest out of our catch, not the biggest on the boat, just between Ben and i hehehe. I caught it on a little 3kg Brim rod. I had to run round the boat 3.5 times to land it. I was close to having the line snapped a few times. But i had everyone on board giving me encouragement and moving all the gear so i could follow it until it was finally close enough to net it! Best feeling ever!

Now I'm not quite sure whether we should buy a camper trailer or a BOAT!! That is how much fun i had!!





This is the wonderful Keely Rose! Great boat and Great crew! Will be definitely going out with them again!
I'm totally buggered today, so not much going on, the boys had a blast at granny and pa's house, so has been a excellent weekend! Hope you are all having a great weekend as well!! :-)
