A busy weekend

I have quite a few photos to share from the last few days. So I thought I would do post each photo and just have bits of commenting.

Ok, the first thing was my sister in law's 30th birthday. It was on Thursday and we went out for breakfast. Lizzy, me, Melly and Caeleb had to come cause no one could look after him.

I made these for Liz to give her something on the day because her actual present is still being sent to me.

Lizzy and Cael. It was such a beautiful day.
This photo was taken by Caeleb. He did a great job though he is still only 3 so the angle is from his view =)

Lizzy and me. The cafe was good. Will definitely go back there again.

Caeleb ordered a babychino. Which is basically warm milk with froth on top and chocolate sprinkles.

A close up. It was so cute.

I had to show a pic of my hot chocolate. I love ordering it in cafes.

Having fun with his babychino. He kept on wanting my bacon as well. He's a bit of a meat eater this one.

He was hiding in the change rooms. After breakfast/brunch we went to a little boutique. Liz's friend owns it. So we decided to check it out. It's called Smooche Boutique. I can't believe I never these shops. It's in my area. Less than 5 minutes away. I live near the esplande and it's beautiful. I sometimes don't really appreciate living near the water.

On Friday it was Anzac Day. I'm sure many of you have read some Australia blogs mentioning it. A whole bunch of people from church went on a car cruise. It's my brother Alvin's Annual Car Cruise and BBQ. He's been having one on Anzac Day for the past 5 years. We basically drive to a destination and have a BBQ when we get there. We went to Wivenhoe Dam. It was the most beautiful day! Check out this scenery.

I'm truly appreciating my city. I love the view. The weather is perfect. Not too hot and not too cold. This autumn weather is good.

My girls Laura and Kristina. I love them!

Laura is a great photographer. I will do a post on her soon. She took this. She took the photo that I use for my profile picture.

Just posing at Jason's house. This was after the Car cruise.

We did a few stupid faces. It's fun.

Sorry I have so many photos.

This is Jason's domain in his house. The garage. It's where he and his brother hang out. Yes he has two computer screens. And those tiny figures you see on the top of his desk are little Transformers toys. The old characters not the new versions of course...

The last event I will talk about is Liz' 30th party. It was Saturday night. It was really good. I bought that dress from Smooche Boutique.

I just really liked this photo.

This is a weird photo and angle I know. But still thought I would share it.

Yes another picture of us. I hope your not sick of it yet. I promise there's not too many more.

Jase took a photo of me having fun with Liz's camera. It was her bday present and I was the photographer for the night.

And I can't not have this post completed without a pic of the bday girl and me. It was such a great party.

Well I hope you all made it through that post. Sorry for all the photos. Hope you have a great week xox

A catch up

It feels like it has been ages since I posted last. I would love to post more often though. Yesterday it was Anzac day and it is an important day to Australians. To remember those who fought and died for this country. I would love to attend a dawn service sometime. Hopefully next year.

It was a public holiday so Jason, my parents and my 2 little nephews and I went to Minnippi Parklands for lunch. It was a beautiful day. We ate and went walking along the tracks while Isaiah rode his scooter and Caeleb his little bike/stroller thing.Hard to explain what it is. It was a fun day.

And on tuesday I had my e-health prac at the Royal Childrens hospital. It was quite fun and it was great to get some hands on experiece. Not that I will be going into telemedicine or anything. I can't wait to see the photos that were taken by the co-ordinator and the others who helped that day.

I have a few photos of what I made in the Swap-bot Little box of joy swap. Here they are
This is everything. I decorated the box and made the nestlace (the term used on Craftster), and
the little owl pendant made from a glass marble with little picture underneath, the nestlace earrings, a few random beads, the envelopes and postcards are just extra items.
This is a close up of the necklaces I made. I like my little nest and my little owl.
And this is the close up of the nestlace style earrings I made. I quite like them as well =)

A picture from yesterday of me mucking around with the settings on my camera. I love those shoes I have on as Jason bought them for me when he went to Sydney last year I think it was. They're my Keds.
And the little nephews. They were having fun at the park.
Oh and my mum won tickets to the Brisbane Stitches and Craft show. Yay! We will be going next weekend.

Thats it for now =)
