Family trip

We took our first "family trip" north to visit the relatives. It was the first time Mark's parents had met our tribe.
The drive was not too bad... kids behaved rather well... and everyone enjoyed the time spent together!

Being an avid Holden fan, Cat was unsure about allowing the car into his driveway... however we managed to convince him it would be ok... we got photographic proof of a Ford in his driveway!



During our time there, we went for walks along beaches... the kids enjoyed time with Nonna and Grandad Cat... and I felt Nonna and Cat enjoyed it too!




Cam especially enjoyed spending time with nature... fascinated by what he found...


While Cody enjoyed playing in the water and being Mark's little buddy!



Kaitlyn explored the beach, took photos and decorated the sand.


We celebrated Mark's birthday and our engagement with a few family and friends by having a BBQ.

We also went to the Ingham Show, where we spent a couple of hours walking around and having fun... the boys enjoyed a couple of rides and we all enjoyed the Circus Fun House!



We all had such a great time! Looking forward to the next family trip to visit Nonna and Grandad Cat! ... another adventure it shall be...starting with a plane trip.

An AMAZING Moment......

Sunday 18th April 2010 at The Three Monkeys cafe, West End.

Mark and I (with Kaitlyn) met friends from Success and You for a Social Club afternoon of drinks, snacks and chat. We decided to sit at a couple of large round tables in the outside courtyard area as there were quite a few of us who had shown up. We chatted, enjoyed our drinks and some of us enjoyed a snack or meal too.

"Mingling time" announced Jodie, "Mark will explain how it is all was going to work."
Mark then started to tell 'our' story, before dropping to one knee and producing a gorgeous ring, followed by the words... "Sammy. Will you do me the honour of being my wife?"
"Yes" I replied as he placed the ring on my finger.
Cheers erupted from our S & Y friends, while I was speechless! The rest of the afternoon remains a little blur in my mind.....

Manda, had managed to captured the moment on her mobile.......

The next chapter of our life together begins.

Mt Tamborine and Cedar Creek Falls

Good Friday, a perfect chance to spend some time in the outdoors with my partner Mark, and my children. We decided on a drive to Mt Tamborine, where we had a picnic in the park.

The view from a lookout

We then drove back towards the bottom of the mountain taking a detour - a walk to the beautiful Cedar Creek Falls.

Cody and I took in the beautiful surrounds while watching the others explore the rocks.



Cam was like a spider on the rocks.

Wonder where our next adventure will take us....
