I'm getting excited...

It's 37 days until we start our American adventure.. We have finally decided where we are going to live ( on campus ) .. Have found schools that the girls will be attending and our chapel is going to RIGHT next door to Eliza's school.. Can you believe that......

But the things that are getting ME excited are the recipes that I am finding... I love pumpkin pie and can't wait to make these mini ones I found on the http://thecraftingchicks.com/ web site. These mini pots look soo cute and yummy and the same time.. They suggest to make them for Visiting Teaching, but I'm still thinking about that one....

Can't wait to make them....

2011 might turn me into a Molly.. hahahaha

New Toy..

Gaz came home early tonight and Harvey Norman to have a look at a notebook for myself for America.... We walked away from Harvey Norman empty handed, then we decided to venture into town and go to Stallards and have a look for camera's.. I settled for the Pentax X90... It's no a DSLR but considering a want a notebook as well I was VERY happy that Gaz brought this model..

I haven't read the instructions and the battery isn't fully charged, but I just wanted to take a couple of pics.. Eden is sporting a new hair cut, looking good Eden.....

Many more playing around and pics to come.. I'm off to read the manual.......

THANKS GAZ!!!!

Boxes are good for...

Boxes are good for packing up our house, so we can start this journey that we are going on but....

They are also good for playing in... Eden has been very happy playing in this box for the last hour....What am I going to do when I have no more boxes!!

MY Life.. at the moment..

Since we found out that we are moving and have decided to Rent the house out ( to hopefully nice tenants) I have been doing alot of jobs around the house.. Gardening I enjoy in small doses.. But our garden has got a bit overgrown, so there is alot to do!!!

Painting is on my list to do.. I have already oiled the deck and painted the front fence, only the touch ups inside left to do..

My third job that I have grown to love is packing... The house is packed up as much as it can be... We leave in under 2 months so still a bit to do.....

Hopefully by December comes around I will have finished all my jobs and will able to spend some time with my family and friends before we go....

Because.....

Because of his guy Charles Hardie.........

Gary and I jumped on a plane to go to the wonderful city of Melbourne for the day........

We had a 9:15am appt at the American Consulate to arrange and pay for our Visa's

Gary was successful in receiving an "Charles Hardie Fellowship" through the Tasmanian Education Dept.. Gary will be studying Writing and Grammar at Brigham Young University...

So this town called Provo in Utah will be our home for the next 12 months.. We leave in in December this year and it will be in the middle of their winter, that's means lots of snow..

I'm not very good at this blogging thing, but I hope to keep you all informed about this cold and crazy adventure that Gary, myself and the girls are going on..

Miss you all xxxx

Where's the rest??

Tonight I brought a box of Cornetto's for dessert. I was proud as they were on special for the low price off $3:45 for a box off four... I handed them out and before too long we were enjoying our Friday night treat...

Until Phebe opened hers and found only half an ice cream.. Wheres the rest?? Phebe wanted to know??? This is what Phebe's ice cream looked like!!!!

Enjoy Phebe!!!!

Playing with Kobe

Over the last couple of days we have been looking after Kobe, while his older brother Noah is in hospital. Every morning Eden and I got up to the hospital to pick Kobe up and we go to the gym together..

And sometimes after the gym Kobe comes back to our house for a play..Eden and Kobe do lots together.They jump up and down in Eden's cot...

They have lunch together and they even wear the same clothes.....

And we pose for the camera together...

They play hide and seek together...

We have loved having Kobe over.. everyone wants a photo with him...

Hopefully Noah will get better soon.......
