Gingerbread Train

Gingerbread Train the kids made this year.

Team Competition 2008

Melody's physical culture dance group had their annual team event at Homebush Olympic Park. They didn't win anything but had a good time!



Waiting on the results. Melody is in the last row - 2nd one in.

Melody's team getting ready to perform. Mel is 3rd from left.

New Members of the Family

Just one of the two new additions to our family! Tim hasn't named them yet . . . he is hoping he has a male and a female. They are Pekin ducks.

New Fridge

Nagy bought us a new fridge last week . . . decided we should buy one before the old one gives out as we have had it since we got married which is about 17 1/2 years!

The space for the fridge in our house doesn't allow for a double door fridge, but I am happy with my "ice maker" even though it is manual!! I know, I know . . . it doesn't take much to make me happy.

Tim's Chicken

This is one of Tim's chickens. Tim is rescuing her after the neighbours garage roof was blown into our back yard during a big storm last year.

Mini Olympics

Melody was the flag bearer for "her" country of Japan for the mini olympics held at their school.

Tim's 14th Birthday

Tim, Chris (bottom row)
Ian, Melody, Ashley, James (top row)

Tim celebrated his 14th birthday today. He had some friends from primary school over (he doesn't see them much anymore since he goes to a different school than most of them apart from Ian who goes to youth group with him every Friday evening). I took them bowling, played some arcade games and then came home and had pizza and cake (with peanut butter icing - Tim's favourite!) and cookies and cream ice cream.

Mel's 11th Birthday . . . All About Tink!

As you can see Mel still loves Tinkerbell!! She had 8 of her friends from school over for a party. This picture of them all together is after they had lots of fun putting on temporary tattoos and face paints!

Mel and Friend

Melody's school had an athletics carnival last week. A friend's mom took this picture of Mel and her friend Emily at the carnival.

How to save the earth!

Seen on a t-shirt for sale in Target:

Help save the earth . . . recycle my sister!

Tim got a kick out of this!! Too bad the shirt was only in young kid's sizes!

Melody's CD Cover

Melody had to create a CD cover for a school assignment. She was suppose to make it attention grabbing and to be about herself. She wanted you to look at her 'Favourite place to visit'.

Mother's Day Present

This is my belated Mother's Day present from Tim. He made this is wood working class at school and was only able to bring it home this week.

I think he has done an excellent job - very professional!

Mel and friends

This is a picture of Mel and some friends in the girls' bunk room at the church Easter camp we went to in March.

Here I am!

I'm slowly trying to get myself set up here. Hopefully I can start posting more blogs soon.
