Day #40

LOVE / HATE Relationship!

Pamper Party!!!

So... when i heard Kodie was turning 10 and found out what her Mummy had planned for her small get-together, I kinda invited myself along to take some snapshots of her awesome day!

When i arrived there was music playing, a table full of snacks (Sugary and Healthy), punch (non-alcoholic) ;P and 3 girls waiting for the pampering session to start! Nic, (Friend and Hairdresser) was there to do each girls hair! And Stacy was the beautician for the day.... Foot soak, Scrub and Massage, as well as Fingernails painted. Wow... what a party! After the pampering, Stacy (Kodies Mum) had organised for a STAMPIN' UP demonstration just for the girls to make some arts and crafts! Here are some snapshots from Kodie's awesome day!



Alex (lil Brother), had to see what all the fuss was about. So he had a foot soak as well! Too cute ;P




If the full on day wasn't fun enough, Kodie's Mum booked a table at the Library Square for the Four best friends to have some yummy dinner!


Then they headed home for some movies in the Theatre room and a very late, giggly night! 1am Bed time!

Kodie with her Mum, who made her day all possible!


And on Sunday, to finish off the weekend, there was a BBQ lunch and a Hello Kitty Cake made by Kodie's Grandma (Cakes 4 Jen)


Kodie, Thank you so much for letting us spend your Birthday weekend with you and I hope you enjoy your pictures!

Project 52 - Week 13 - Hands

Bella..... With the Jelly beans i took on out photo session for Bribery! Didn't even pull them ou til the very end!

Family Friday was a No Go-er!

Cause of the rain again!!! And i had a fairly bad headache!

Anyway, Adam and Chris went fishing yesterday.. Yes in the pouring rain! Crazy - I know! But they did catch a Brim that was a Keeper and a Crab!

Lilli wanted to pat the crab until i told her that it may bit her little fingers off! I'm a nasty Mummy ;) So then she was even scared of it when it come out of the pot, bright orange and cooked! Even when Adam cracked the nipper and ate it, she still didn't want to touch it! LOL.... She did eventually, then....... She wanted to take it to bed with her! Ewwwww!!! NO WAY!!

Here is 'Mr Crab' when he was a little less..... Orange!

Happy Birthday to me!

So no 'Family Friday' again this week but we did celebrate my Birthday with a BBQ on Saturday at our place... minus a couple of people! (Nikki and Steff were away in Bris Vegas for a 30th)

Yes... I turned 27!!! Why do the years always go faster when you're all GROWED UP!!! I remember when it took FOREVER for Birthdays/Christmas/Easter all to come around and when the 6 Week school holidays went for a really really long time! Oh well... It sux to grow up! And... Sorry to say... NO pics of me on my b'day (Nikki wasn't attending) ;P
