look what I can do!

turning 5

Turning 5 is so much fun especially when it involves a gymnastics party!! One and a half hours in the gym to play games and have free time. Let's see, what was my favourite thing?? well there was the birthday girl bungy swing (which i loved!!), jumping into the foam bricks, the big bouncy trampolines, the rings, the beam and of course the big birthday feast. But the fun didn't stop there.. After a quick ride back to our house Bella, Eloise, Asha, Aunty Kyla and Nanny all stayed to help me open my presents. We even found time to play with some of them before it was time for them to leave.. Thanks everyone for coming to celebrate my party, i hope that you had as much fun as I did.

Kisses, Amelia

a big weekend

What a weekend I have had.. First there was my last ballet class on Saturday. Being the last class before holidays mums and dads as well as friends are able to watch. So off we all went to ballet so that I could show everyone my moves. Then on Sunday it was finally time to go to the Dora show. Dora and her friends lost their treasure and needed to go on an adventure to find it. Of course they ended up finding it and they even let Swiper celebrate with them.

Sharing

Mum keeps telling Zachary that his swing is getting a little small for him and that maybe we should start calling it my swing.. I don't think that Zach is completely sold on that idea yet but he doesn't seem to mind sharing his swing with me and even giving me a little push now and again..

Daddy's weekend

When we got home from Eloise's party it was time to catch up with Dad and see what he had been doing while we were away.. So up the ladder into the roof we climbed where I was brave enough to stand on one of the new timbers that Daddy had put in. I can't wait until it is becomes a proper floor that I can walk on without having to worry about the possibility of ending up in the bathroom!! Then the next day was of course Father's Day. After a big breakfast and some presents we decided to go for a swim. Then it was time to decorate the ginger bread house that Yasar and Em gave to us a little while back. no guesses as to who ate the most frosting!!!

Happy birthday to Eloise

While the big kids were in the party room eating party food for Eloise's birthday I was hanging with my cousin, Asha, chewing on plain old rusks.. While the big kids were runnning around, climbing and jumping Asha and I were in our pushers watching. Mum says that it won't be long before I am running around as well! I hope that Asha decides to have a fun bugs birthday party one day.

Look how much we have grown

Every now and then we like to look back at some old photos and see how much we have grown.. These photos show just how much we have grown as we happended to be in the same spots as before.. There's Zach in the swing at the nic nak park, aged 9 months and then again at 2 and a half.. then there's amelia in the rocker at Nanny's aged 22 months and again at 5 (well nearly 5). Chase has grown too but we think that we deserved his very own post to try and catch up with us a little..

Cuddling cousins

We are a little behind in our blogging and because we only have time to blog a little now and then (in between the craziness of day-to-day living) our stories are probably a little jumbled up.. A little while ago was Nanny and Poppy's birthdays. Poppy's birthday number was 60 so we decided to have a special birthday lunch, followed by cake, of course! Birthdays are also a great time to catch up and run wild with our cousins. And as an extra special treat Aunty Shannon was also down for a short holiday from Darwin.

Hope you had a great day Nanny & Poppy!

I'm famous

Look who is famous!!! Last week I had my name printed in the newspaper.. Why?? Well I entered a little colouring competition and won! I received a parcel in the mail with so many cool things packed inside.. Not only were there 4 tickets to the Dora the Explorer Pirate Adventure show but a Dora CD, Dora doll, t-shirt and wand. I couldn’t believe that I won and that I am going to see the Dora show. i am just a wee little bit excited. .
