More Beautiful Wedding Photos

Since I was bridesmaid, it was a bit hard for me to take the photos, so Ben took over from the ceremony...

Rochelle and Andy's wedding

A busy day today - Rochelle picked me up just before 10am and we went back to her place to get our hair done.

Ben took McKenzie to the hairdressers to get her hair done - a lovely braid.

Then Roshy and I met Mum and Dad at Surfers so we could get our make up done at Napaloen around midday. The 3 girls who did our make up did a really nice job.


Then we went back to Rochelle's place and had some nibblies and drinks before getting ready.



The Orange 1957 Chevy arrived at 2.30pm and we had a couple of photos done (I took them) and then we had to race off to the wedding. Funny thing was that the Chev was only 2 doors and the front seats didn't fold forward so Rochelle and I (in short dresses) had to climb over the seats, trying not to stand with our high heels on the leather seats!!!


We arrived right on time (3.00pm) to a beautiful day and a beautiful wedding. It was so nice and relaxed and just so Roshy and Andy.....

It was a beautiful ceremony.

We then headed off to the Mowbray Park Surf Club and we bumped into little Dommy with the babysitter we organised to mind him and we managed to get a couple of photos of him)...he looked so cute in McKenzie's Fairy Wings!

Then at the Surf Club we had some hot nibblies and drinks and McKenzie was ready to go back to the unit with Dom and the babysitter, so we took her back at 5.30pm. (I think she lasted there for about and hour).

So it worked out nice that Ben and I got to have some time by ourselves without kids, and spend time with the family. Everyone had a lovely time and it was so nice to feel so relaxed...

We left around 9.30pm so we could let the babysitter go home and check on the kids.

Off to Burleigh Heads

This afternoon we headed down to gorgeous Burleigh Heads (after lots of running around in the morning).

We got to Burleigh around 4pm and settled into our unit and my sister Rochelle arrived to talk to me about wedding stuff. Ben took the kids for a big walk.

Wonderful Roshy bought me a lovely Pandora bracelet for being her bridesmaid, which was so nice.

After Ben and the kids came back, we grabbed fish and chips for dinner at ate them on the beachfront.

Tried to settle the kids into bed but they were still awake at 9pm - and I was trying to get them to bed early because of the wedding tomorrow!!

It must be Thursday again

I've been busy this morning - dropped Kenz off to school (late) got to love wet weather, went grocery shopping and bought some stuff to take away with us, came home unpacked, got morning tea for Dominic, then Ben came to the Toy warehouse in the next street over to buy Dom the train table and train set that was on sale (Dom will love it!), then we went straight to Big W to get Kenzie's birthday bike off layby (and some Christmas stuff I had lay byed as well).

Well McKenzie's bike ended up being too small - it said for ages 5-9 and since she's only 7 and a small 7 I thought it would be ok, but it was only 16inches (or 40cms) so I had to take the bike to returns and buy another bike (I couldn't get her another Hannah Montanah bike which is really annoying, but anyway she's still got a new bike!). This one is 20 inches so I hope it's big enough - it said from 5-8.

I also lay byed her Xmas present as I don't have anywhere to store it at the moment!

Ben dropped me off to get a spray tan (for this weekend away) and then we came home and made lunch by 12.30pm!

Kenz is meant to go to vision therapy today but they've just called to cancel. - yay!

Baby News

No, not my news. I got a message from Tania (who I had lunch with on Friday last week) that she had a baby boy today which is wonderful news. No name as yet. 7 pound 10oz - a nice weight.

A quiet day at work today - yesterday I was flat out, and today, not much at all, but at least I'm up to date with all of my archiving and work!

I got may nails manicured today - I was going to get a pedicure as well, but didn't as I needed to race around town and find something for my sister to give to her on the weekend....

I've started packing our bags for the coast too....

Rememberance Day

Today was 90 years since WW1 ended - and it's amazing and wonderful that we are still honouring those who lost their lives for us so long ago (and even of recent times).

I was pretty busy at work but I was lucky enough to catch up with the lovely Eli for lunch - I used to work for Eli and she's wonderful.

Having a really hard time trying to get Kenzie to do her Vision Therapy exercises. She just doesn't want to do them. if she didn't stuff around, it would only take about 20 minutes, but lately it's been like 30-40 minutes because she's mucking around so much.

I designed my first DVD Slideshow tonight, of Rachael's boys' Baptism and I think it's turned out pretty good. I just need to burn the disk and put a label on it and send it to her! (That will probably be next week).

And here we are, Monday again

Can't believe it's Monday already! Today I went for a facial (I cannot tell you how long it's been since I had a facial!) and had my brows waxed.

Work was fairly busy.

I am still waiting for a toy for Dom which I ordered back in August - starting to get really annoyed that it hasn't arrived yet!

I went up and did body balance at the gym tonight - it's great to do the stretches and relaxation.
