Our New Addition

 

We have a new addition to our family - her name is Noomy. One of the many things my Mum does is saves ferral cats. And she just recently caught 3 ferral kittens and their mother. She has tamed the mother down and has found homes for 2 of the kittens and well one of them is us. I know what were we thinking but look how cute she is. She really doesn't look ferral hey. But she doesn't like big open areas at the moment. We have to gradually let her out and get her used to the house. Now our 6 year old cat Princess - isn't aware she is here or is she. They haven't met yet and probably won't for some time. I don't think Princess is going to take kindly to her new house guest.

Unfortunately when visitors come over we can't show her to anyone as she is so scared of strangers she goes a little wild and skitish. So we just show people photos and maybe soon we can show people. She is just gorgeous though. When I go in to feed her several times a day she just purrs and meows at me and pushes into me for affection. But when you put the food out she doesn't want to know you she just wants to eat. LOL

Noomy is about 2 months old. Makayla is still getting used to her. She doesn't like to be too close in case she scratches her but she loves for me to hold her so she can give her a quick pat and a kiss. So very sweet.

Kirsty's Sleep over Party

 

Well I decided to let Kirsty have a sleep over birthday party this year. OH WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!!!!! 8 giggling 10 and 11 year olds. I don't think they got to sleep until around 11pm and they were awake before 5.30am. I am so sure that they would have been all very tired come late Sunday afternoon.

The girls all had such a great time. They did some Karaoke, played games (I gave each team a roll of alfoil and told them to be creative and make things with it - such as dresses, shoes, glasses etc) They all did such a great job. And check out the one right at the back. That is Cameron getting in on the act. Makayla and Lyn decorated him as well.

I made Kirsty an ice cream cake again this year and she requested that and I also made her a handbag cake in her favourite colours. Not sure how I kept this from her without her seeing it.

I even made the party bags. I did a workshop some months ago with Paula at StampIn Up where we made these really great handbags. So late Friday afternoon I decided that these would be perfect for the party bags. Nothing like leaving it for the last minute. But it was worth it as the girls just loved them. I made 8 and filled them with lollies and make up and a few other bits and pieces. Thanks Paula for the idea.

Kirsty's Birthday

 

Kirsty turned 11 years old last week. Yes I know a bit slack not getting her photos up earlier. I can't believe she is 11 now. Where oh where has the years gone. She is turning into such a beautiful young girl. It is a little sad and lot exciting to see her grow and mature. Happy Birthday Possum. Love you so very, very much.

Caloundra Holiday

 

We spent a weekend at Caloundra a couple of weeks ago. And to the surprise of Kirsty, Ashleigh and Rachel - they all did not know the others would be there. Maree and I kept it a secret from the girls and what a surprise it was for them. They were so excited to see each other, I don't think there was much time they spent away from each other. It is so great that they are still such close friends and cousins. Definately a nice place to stay. We stayed at the BreakFree Resort this time. Can't wait for next year when we stay for a whole week... Maybe I can convince Cameron we need to stay for 2 weeks.

Anniversay

Cameron and I celebrate our 6th Wedding Anniversary today. He is my rock and my best friend and just as much in love today as the day we started going out. Love you heaps Cameron.

Don't you think we make the perfect couple.........

We love you and miss you

Today we say goodbye to our oldest dog Boots (black and white Miniture Fox Terrior). She was 15 years old and although she was a bit of a wanderer sometimes she had a great life. We will so very much miss her. As she was so old her poor little heart just gave out last night. I feel silly crying so much but she really was just one of the family. And the girls are also feeling the sorrow of her passing.

I so feel for her little companion Tigger as she is very much missing her right now. I think she has realised that she isn't there and has not stopped crying also.

She is in a better place and she is waiting for our return. We will miss her.
