O'Reily's...

I have to admit it...the drive to O'Reily's is hard!  It seems to take forever to get there and the winding road always makes me feel sick.  But, it is such a great place to take the kids and it really is beautiful up there.  

Beautiful, tall trees that line the road...

Our favourite part and pretty much the only reason we come up here, is to feed the 

beautiful, colourful native birds. 

HAHA!...Look at Ivy.  Digging for a gold....then....Mmmm, yum!

 Kacy was freaked out by the birds...and so was little Ivy (she hated them!)

And I couldn't help but laugh...(mean Mum that I am! hehe)

I love this pic of Sydney and Ella.

Afterwards we went and had a lovely picnic then a walk through the tree tops through the rainforest.  We we're scratched and tired but it was such a great day!

Underwater Camera Fun...

I'm back tracking here, but I have ALOT to catch up on.  We decided to buy an underwater camera since we spend so much time in the water over Summer.  Here are some fun pics we took...

I know you won't appreciate it this Kacy, but how cool is this pic!?

The girls love doing somersaults into the pool...

Ivy squirting Michael...

We love swimming and we love Summer!

Happy 7th Birthday Sage!

Time to catch up on some blogging...starting with Sage's birthday (which was 7 months ago...oops!)

Sage is such a special part of our family.  She is such a cool cat, so easy going and such a great help to me.  She's a routine's girl and likes to stick to the 'program'.  We often tease her about trying new things (which she doesn't often) because it's not in line with the 'program'.  We often say to her 'computer says no!'...which she doesn't' always like but she has such a great sense of humour she often laughs at herself.  She rarely get's upset and if she does we know it's for real!  She loves sushi, any sweet treats, her favourite colour is pink and she loves swimming and doing Kids bootcamp.

Sage was begging us for a new bike, so we surprised her with this beauty.

Cake request this year was a Tangled cake.  There were all these awesome Tangled towers on the internet and Sage saw me freaking out a bit as to how I was going to do it.  She came up with this idea which I loved!

Sage, you have so many people in your life that love and care about you!  

Out with the Daddy's...

Every year we look forward to my brother and his family coming out so we can hang out.  Our kids get along so well and they never want to leave each other's side.  This particular day the boys took Milla and Finn out for a little boat trip to Peel Island and a fish.

Best Buddies!

Merry Christmas!

It's a bit late huh, but better late than never!  The girls had their school Christmas concert, so of course it's a great opportunity to get dressed up!

Kids Bootcamp!...

Yikes, it's been a while....

Yay!  Sage has finally found something to do!!  After trying to find out what she would like to get into and always having the response "I don't want to do anything",  with a little encouragement she is now loving Fit Stuff Kids.  It's great because she's keeping active and having fun at the same time.

After being shy the first few times, which it totally normal for Sage, she's finally getting into it.  We love going down as a family each Saturday to watch her.

Teamwork!
