Kade's 12th Birthday party


Jayda's half brother Kade had his 12th Birthday party recently.We decided to do a Hawaiian pool party with blow up palm trees, grass skirts, tropical fish pinata and other bits and pieces. Kade wanted Tiff to make a motorcross cake and she did a fantastic job. The kids played limbo, Twister,water bomb fights and swam in the pool. It was a good day,but also a very tiring one with eleven 12 years old running a muck.

Summer Fun














 
As  the weather warms up we have been taking advantage of the sunshine by being outside more. Amelia gets scared of the pool now so we set up the shell pool to get both girls ready for the big pool, they loved it. Something strange happened with Jayda with her hands and feet turning purple and on her left arm from the elbow down was blue, it was even more unusual because it was a warm day and she didn't feel cold.This is something we have not seen since Jayda was on Propranolol. The girls have also been down to the park to feed the ducks and just enjoying the sunshine.


Perth Royal Show



















 


The Perth Royal Show runs over a week of every September school holidays and we have been going every year since Amelia was born. We all catch the bus and train and both the girls love it. Our first stop was to get the girls show bags, last year they had sold out of the ones we wanted so we got in early. It was then off to look at the poultry and dogs and there is always something unsual to see.We then took the girls to the kiddie rides and Amelia went on her first roller coaster, she got quite upset. Tiff took Jayda on her first carousel ride and she loved it. We went and watched a motocross display which had all of us amazed at their stunts.Our next stop was sideshow alley, Kade has become more daring each year and Tiff and him went on heaps of rides. Then Kade and Matt went on the mega tumbler and you would been laughing in stitches if you'd seen them went they hopped off, HILARIOUS! It was a good day with all of us exhausted come home time.
