Jade's Birthday Party

Well it was Jade's 3rd birthday and her first party where she got so invite friends from Kindy etc. It ended up pelting down with rain for most of the time but the kids still had fun, lucky for the big carport, playdough and crayons!

Jade, Bradley, Thomas and Jackson playing playdough.

Birthday cake time! Jade had a fish cake as it was an Under the Sea party.

Hip Hip HOORAY!

The sneaky dinner thief.

Just being charming and saying hello.

Eyeing off Jades dinner (after already downing a substantial amount himself).

Being told, "My dinner Ruden!!". Don't worry, no small children were starved in the making of these photographs - we gave the malnourished little guy some dessert.

Sandpit

These photos were taken about 6 weeks ago now but had to chuck them on. These two regularly cover themselves and each other in sand and sometimes Bear cops it as well.

Stuff!

Aunty Marie's & Uncle Desie's Farm

On Sunday the kids and I went to visit my relatives in Coominya (about 1and half hours from Brisbane) on their farm. It was a great day catching up, playing, seeing the animals and of course, as you do in the country, eating.

The boys - Jacob, Brendan and Ruben.
Jade didn't want to leave the cows!

She is a little "Cow Whisperer".
