Cinderella and her prince getting ready to leave for the ball!!

Straight off the red carpet and into the drinks!!

Michael and his boss Bertie.

Sir Richard Branson no less!! PS he told me I looked gorgeous as he walked past from his helicopter, talk about be in the right place at the right time.

Cosying up the to the Premier of Queensland, Anna Bligh. She was very nice and spoke to us for about 10 minutes about Jake's school who had been on a visit to Parliament House the week before.

Coby and Georgia

Jake won't be able to feed him much longer! It'll soon be the other way around!

Miss Georgie was NOT in a photo mood as this shot shows!

Elly and Coby the big boy!

Easter 2008

Here are our Easter bunnies with their "haul" on Easter morning. They spent the day then gorging on their goodies, but those not eaten have joined the leftovers from last Easter in the back fridge!!! Out of sight out of mind with these two.
Out at Redcliffe Ahoy there me hearties, seen any fish and chips coming by?

Wales win the 6 Nations

I have no photos but just had to make comment on Wales not only winning the 6 Nations, but doing it as a Grand Slam!! Why the hell couldn't they have done this last year when we spent a flipping fortune coming over to Europe to watch them??! Suffice to say there was a lot of whooping and yelling coming out of our house in the early morning hours in March and we hope they continue with their success! Maybe now Australia has a Kiwi coach, we might do better too?? Please no, we'll never hear the end of it!!

Gillian and family

We had a lovely visit in January from one of Michael's old school friends, Gillian and her husband Andrew and daughter Sophie who were visiting Oz for a few weeks. They were on their way to Cairns by camper van, so called in for a quick afternoon visit, before trying to beat the horrible downpours we were experiencing!! Hope we get to stay in their gorgeous B & B back in North Wales some time!!

Jake's night at the Reds

For his mate Daniel's birthday, Jake got to go to the Reds game at Suncorp and go into the dressing rooms post-match to meet some of their heroes!! Of course Chris Latham was top of the list, but Rodzilla got in on the act too. The Reds actually got slaughtered this game, so were not really in a celebratory mood. Still, they were great to all the boys, signed jerseys and posed for photos when they probably would rather not. Our guys lapped it up and maybe one day will do the same!!

Iona Trivia Night

The occasion was the Iona College (Jake's school) Trivia Night. The theme was 1950's as it is the college's Jubilee Year this year, so we let loose as the Pink Ladies and the T-Birds for the night. Not sure how we actually went with the trivia comp part of the night, but we all had a ball!! The table of "baby boomers" behind us were very cheeky too and it did start to get "messy" by night's end, with their Baby Borns being bottle fed beer and given pipes to smoke!! We can't wait for the Jubilee Ball in June!!!!!
