So many well wishers, so many cards, so many gifts... 

Dinner was done over three courses. We barely got everything in ;)

Love Birthdays... Happy Birthday, Honey...

Blessings,

Happy 16th Birthday, Josh...

Sunday was his day... He's certainly growing up. He loved going paintball inc with his brother and mates... There were a couple missing but another group of 9 turned up so there were many targets :)

Josh so wanted decent bruises to show off at school Monday... Was not to be. He got hit so many times on purpose but only two gave him a slight mark... Too buff! ;)

I tried a banana cake this time for his cake and I ended up putting in an extra banana. All three were huge so the cake was heavier than normal. Tasted fantastic though and was enjoyed... Umm quickly lol

For presents we got him mostly Adventure Time stuff as he loves the cartoon and didn't have allot. Love eBay hehe

Oh, how they grow up so quickly...

Blessings,

Birthday Cake...

Five in my family have their birthdays in November... Love Birthday get togetherness... The company, the food, the laughter and egging each other on. One bites then so do the rest... I totally love my family!

Love it when we get together...

Early Birthday Present...

Wow these are massive. There's no way they'll last till Saturday... These have come straight from the Rocklea Markets and are very ripe!

Humongous Mangoes for desert ;) Oh, they smell sooooooo devine... I can't wait to sink my teeth into the yummy flesh! Feeling so blessed and spoilt!

Thanks to my beautiful friend Sharon... She's such a blessing and treasure...

Blessings,

Happy Birthday, Hubby...

He's 49 yesterday... Something he's wanting to not remember. He knows he's having a big party next year and isn't wanting to face that one just yet...

He had a quiet day, surrounded by family. Made Chicken Schnitzel for dinner and his birthday cake was a double Soggy cake. Loved by all and my youngest went back for a second ginormous piece ;)

'Twas a lovely day... Just as he's a lovely man :)

Blessings,

Happy Birthday, Ron...

Our lovely Neighbour has his Birthday today... When the boys got home from school we all went over to his house to wish him many, very happy returns...

Blessings,

A 15 year old Young Man...

How time flies... He amazes me as to the young man that my youngest is turning into! Today he is 15!

One of the presents Hubby and I got him was a mountain board... It's a snowboard with four wheel drive wheels hehe. He's now in the process of designing a course in the front of our property... He's loving it. No injuries, yet...

Hubby didn't think I'd want to have him get into this sport. It looks like soooo much fun... Very cool...

My dad was here for most of the building process, which was nice for both my youngest and hubby. Was lovely to watch for me :)

Now, to make some awesome jumps!

Blessings,

Sweet 17...

My eldest reached his milestone on 7 February... Just so lovely, seeing him grow into the lovely young man he's growing into... We started the day with presents. Mostly wolf things, including a Queen size mink blanket I came across... 'Twas a school day but a swimming carnival so was an easy day for him :) And we ended the day with dinner at our favourite Chinese restaurant. My eldest had a double bowl of chicken and corn soup, off course! And bites from other plates too. Then he and my youngest enjoyed Youthgroup. A large sundae for the trip home and he was spent. He had an awesome night sleep with his new blanket...

Hubby and I are blessed with the honour of teaching him and getting him ready for when he leaves home... 

So glad I have the privilege to be his mum...

Blessings,

Mitchell's 18th...

Friends of ours, that we originally met through our then local school's special education unit, had their youngest turn 18 last week...

It was such a honour to be in that small circle of his friends that he wanted around for his 18th... 

The theme was Chanel and we had to dress up in black, white and pink. Our eldest had a ball in the pool. Our youngest had a ball outside the pool hehe. Hubby and I got to spend time with a lovely and interesting bunch of people...

Happy 18th again, Mitchell!!!

Blessings,

Another one...

Yep, I've had another Birthday! 'Twas last Friday... I took the Thursday night and Friday morning off as I wanted to wake up with my family around me, and I did! Love Birthdays! 

Weeks earlier, I had found a stall locally, where there was hand stamped jewelery. The lady came from Toowoomba, which is where I also work. Got all the details of what necklace I wanted and gave hubby all the info. He ordered it and I got it as one of my presents!

I just love it! The outside ring is surgical steel and copper on the inside. No tarnishing because of my skin. Normally my skin reacts to stirling silver and the like. The necklace is not long enough though, so I've ordered 3 from eBay. Two are on their way already. Can't wait for them to arrive :) 

It's something I always want to wear. It's very symbolic for me. The Tree of Life at the centre of my little family!

Blessings,

Happy Birthday...

Hubby's turned another year older today... 48!

He's had a great day... We all have :)

Here's to another wonderful year ahead!

Blessings,

Happy 14th Birthday...

My youngest has made it through another year. He's thrilled with how his day has gone... A friend is sleeping over and they intend to stay up all night... Will see how that one goes... As long as they are quiet... Oh, to have such energy... Yeah, no thanks :) hehe

Tomorrow, the basket ball hoop and pole gets set up. Looking forward to some games :)

Blessings

Birthday...

Am a year older today :) And wiser, off course... Hehe

Got spoilt today from family and friends...

Lots of texts saying Happy Birthday, and phone calls too :) And lovely cards... Love my Birthday Cake that hubby made for me.

Hubby even did my nails for me! I am enjoying my seashell chocolates :) And I'm wearing Adam's perfume to dinner tonight... I smell pretty good. Will see what my eldest says as he's got the most sensitive nose out.

My new candle holder, from my Dad and Step mum, I will use later tonight... ;)

So, having a great day... Am ever so blessed...

Cheers
