Donna at 28 weeks.......

Yup here she is again, really starting to get close to the finish line now, and going along so fast. I have been so slack with the last two lots of photos, I haven't even done anything with those one yet LOL, still got a couple of weeks before the baby shower, phew, so need to get cracking.

Donna arrived last night for her next lot of pics at 28 weeks. It just so happened that Celina was down, and she managed to see Donna here for about half an hour before they headed back home. I tell you though, every time Celina comes down she fits in about a weeks worth of appointments and shopping, has no time to stop LOL.

It was great having here though cause we managed to get some photos of Donna and her together, and look how they colour co-ordinated their tops, they reckon they didn't make phone calls to each other in the morning to check out what the other would be wearing LOL.

Doesn't Donna look great.....

Red top is 24 weeks and green is current at 28 weeks

We did belly shots this month as well, but they were done in her bikini's, so decided against showing those ones here, but she looks beautiful.

Happy Birthday Jarrod

Happy Birthday Jarrod

An update on Jarrod's Birthday. One of the surprises that Celina had organised for him was for Aaron to come up and stay over night. It meant a day off school but Aaron thought it was a cool idea - no surprises there LOL. Initially Aaron was going to go up with Dad, however, in the end, all of us went up, which was so much fun.

Jarrod was so surprised, so here are some pics of his surprise Birthday Bash, it was a great day, too hot, but lots of fun.

Some Aunty and niece bonding going on here LOL

John also bought himself a Manta Ray to be towed behind the boat, he such a big kid. So we took that out for a spin. Scary stuff, you have to wear a crash hat, because apparently they can become quite airborne, although not today, Dad was there and he was playing it safe for the first time. This is John, cracked me up, he looked like one of those crash test dummies, done up like that LOL. Then Phillip had a go on the biscuit, so much fun.

A Big Weekend, no housework, but who cares!!!!!!

Wow we have had a full weekend, busy, busy, busy.

Saturday morning started off with a Birthday Party for Josh. What a hoot of a party. Laser Skirmish and then Go Karting a real boys party, it was totally awesome. Way to go Patty, the boys had a blast.

Here's Aaron in the Go Kart and Josh, the Party Boy, turning the BIG 13 on Wednesday, that's two teenagers in Patty's house now, you had better watch out girl!!!

Then yesterday we drove up to Walker's Flat to have a day on the river with the boat. Patty and the kids came up with us, it was a beautiful day weather wise, and was so much fun. The kids loved it. I even got brave enough to drive the boat and tow dad on the biscuit. Was so scared, had my heart in my mouth the whole time. Pretty sad really given that I got my licence last summer and still haven't allowed myself to practice enough to actually use it LOL. Renee came out with me, and told me what to do. The scary thing was is that she actually does know what to do and I was hanging off her every word LOL. Anyway Dad mangaged to finally get behind the boat, which was cool, he said I did OK, well I must have I didn't kill him, so that was a bonus eh?

So here are some pics, just random ones of the day. Check out the kids faces, you don't need words when they throw you smiles like that!

This pic of Josh (above) is my favourite of the day. A bit blurry, but the smile says it all!!

Above and left, Ryan and Renee, the first pic I think was total adrenalin, he soon had this look of concern on his face, but he did finally settle back down again, to actually enjoy it. He had another go later in the day, so can't have been too bad. He was so scared about falling off and not being able to touch....Renee kept telling him he had his life jacket on, but that wasn't enough!

Then it was Dad's turn, with me driving the boat, scary stuff that!!!

Then Patty's turn, check out the air she took, totally awesome. I had a turn after that, but those photos are private LOL!!!!!

Then it was time for kneeboarding

Josh, had an attempt, but didn't quite get there, you were so close Josh! Second go and you would have made it up for sure. Next time!!!!

And finally, here is a slide show of the rest of the pics taken on the day, I succumbed and left the ones in there of me, ewwww. I figured I would cop a fair bit of flack if I didn't LOL

Happy Birthday MUM

For the Benefit of Celina.........

Celina does miss out on a lot of the family ongoings down here in the big smoke, so she uses the "blog" as a way of keeping in touch........

So just for you Celina, here is Donna, showing you the Nursery colours, (Celina, just click on the photos to make them bigger). Donna and Ben have been painting and yesterday they started putting the freeze up, a bugger of a job I hear, but they are doing a great job (well Ben is, not sure how much help Donna is, but that's OK Donna, lap it up I say, after all it's not every day we get pregnant!!!). Sex of the baby is unknown so neutral colouring in order.....

and just a cute pic to finish off, very unco-operative the pair of them getting pics yesterday

***********************

..............and after visiting there yesterday, I had to go and pick the kids up from Patty's, it was Matthew's 11th Birthday yesterday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MATTHEW

Renee, turned on the most beautiful performance, check this pic out. I swear of late she is giving me the most fantastic 21st shots..........Patty snagged this shot of her, excellent shooting Patty

This glamorous photo, is currently being used as my computer desktop photo, and it looks hilarious so big. I was in stitches when I put in up there, my ribs were killing me from laughing, how did we get one like her?
