Family Photos


We took some photos of the whole family whilst on our "FAMILY HISTORY MYSTERY' tour down to Merredin and Beverly.


We took these photos on the farm where Mum n Dad lived - and where I came into the picture....


The menfolk were absolutley delighted to have to bring a white shirt and wear it and pose and smile for these photos.... while the kids were just as pleased as punch to have to STAY CLEAN for 20 minutes!

Melbourne Cup

Dave was pretty keen to see the big race, and to put his once a year bet on a horse...

Having seen his lukcy number (10) win a "hermit crab race" on the TV that morning - he went with his lucky number again!The above shot shows the point where Dave realised number 10 might have a chance...


This is the winning ticket!!

This is a $465.00 win
a girl could get a few pairs of shoes with that!


We are finally on the move!!
we have left Perth at last...

Perth - Scootering and the Red Bull Air Race

Well we are still here in Perth... siiiigh

We had been staying with my good friend Lynda up until last week, this is her - we went out for a lovely lunch in Freo.. We finally left Lynda in peace and moved into the Karrinyup Waters resort, just to see if we'd have more luck selling the mazda there... so far, we haven't

But as you can see below, Dave has found a few mates to share a beer with... this is not what we expected "happy hour"to be like... Like my Dad told us, dead on 6pm Happy hour starts... and thats exactly when these guys turn up. We need the use of a hose after their departure unfortunatley.
We have had great fun exploring on the scooter. Apart from a scary encounter with some very stern policemen.... who just happened to be looking for two "crims"on a scooter.... I think if we hadn't happened to be riding along the footpath we wouldn't have caught their attention so rapidly.
I have ridden the scooter - its scary fun, but I still need a bit more practise/confidence before I actually hit the open road and other traffic.

On our scootering - we wound up at Trigg beach where Dave proposed nearly 3 years ago.. this is an actual recreation of that moment... can you see why I said yes??? So handsome

This photo below is of our mate Mick, he is taking us out to his mates Launch for us to watch (front row) the Red Bull Air Race - IT WAS AWESOME!! Felt sorry for the people on the stands who paid big bucks to sit in the sun... we had prime possie and had a ball
This is us heading out on the dinghy to the launch
These acrobatic planes were very cool...-
indy and Isaac were there to greet us when we arrived on the big boat. He gets cuter and cuter everytime we see him,

I think his Daddy thinks the same thing!

This is a little video footage - all 15 seconds that my phone will record for.... bear in mind this was all A LOT LOUDER in reality!
