Huge update...

So you may want to get a cuppa lol...

Ok where to start.... oh yes our QLD holiday

We had the best time... the flight up was so much fun Kaitlyn loved her first plane flight she was a bit nervous at first but once we got going she was fine she loved it... here she is sitting in the plane waiting to take off...

So the first day we went to Dream World.. this was Kaitlyn's favourite place.. she is such a little dare devil and went on most of the rides that she was allowed to go on with height restrictions etc... she had a lot of fun running around all the diffrent places in there...we got to go into the big brother house... that was fun to see.. here is kaitlyn in the lounge room of the big brother house




The next day we traveled up to Australia Zoo.. it took us 2.5hrs to get there due to huge storms.. when we got there they had had a huge electrical storm so there was no power there... it was a bit dissapointing there wasnt what we thought it would be like... so we walked around the park a bit a few things we didnt get to see like the tigers etc due to the huge storm.. we got a photo taken with a huge snake it was so heavy... we walked around patting all the kangaroos etc too which was ok they were all a bit wet though so not nice to pat etc lol...

we also got to see Steve Irwins truck and you could sit in it for photos etc...kaitlyn and the big croc


the next day we went to movie world with Kylie and her family... Kylie and I were like big kids and went on all the rides lol.. it was lots of fun



the next day was sea world... again we went with kylie and her family.. it was great having them up there kaitlyn loved having connor and shanice to go on the rides with and yes it was fun i had kylie to come on the big rides with me LOL




so that was our holiday.. we had a great time didnt want to come home... we had major storms at night but the days were gorgeous and the place we stayed in was really nice to.. kaitlyn loved the pool and we got to swim in them a couple of time...

Ok what else.. well kaitlyn had her 7th birthday and got totally spoilt... she got lots of gorgeous presents from everyone...



she is starting to collect Beanie Kids (they are teddies and you can get many diffrent types of ones).. she got some more for her birthday from her aunty Danielle and then she also got some money so she went and bought some more today... all up now she has got 20 beanie kids 1 bigger one and 2 figurines... she wants to collect lots more... dont ask me where we are going to put them lol..


On the scrapping front not alot happening.. i did go and spend the night last weekend at the Scrapgirls retreat that they had up at penrith.. that was a great night got to catch up with some good friends of mine... didnt sleep much lol and didnt get alot of scrapping done but it was a fun time....
