Brother's Birthday

Brother just turned two...

Cup cake only had one... I had plenty...

... of smileys and expressions....

This was a little while ago. Told you that mommy was being lazy to update the blog. Made the cupcake with mommy one saturday. Wasn't too bad... It was actually quite nice. It was one that was actually made from scratch, not just out of a packet!

With Boss...

In case you don't know or don't realise, I loooooooove horses... since I was little... love them forever and ever and ever...

Boss is the name of this horse. He belongs to Mommy's friend's sister, Sarah. We went to a baby party last week and the family had two horses. Boss was a bit old but he was very friendly and gentle. Sarah used to ride Boss on races and won many times. So Boss was a champion horse. Very lucky to have the chance to hop on him... I like him. I hope to be able to go and see him again one day. Mommy's friend had a biiiig property with lots of animals. I also saw a lot of wild wallabies hopping around that evening...

Me again posing on Boss

Mommy tried to get me to feed Boss but I was a bit scared in the beginning...

Now.. I was still scared but tried... Boss has got big teeth... but they said he wouldn't crunch my fingers if I was careful... if...

We are all playing with playdough after the yummy dinner

Dundee beach...

This is me and Lauren playing pirates at Dundee beach one weekend when mommy took us there. It was very nice beach and the holiday house we stayed in had swimming pool as well so I played a lot in the swimming pool with mommy's friends from work. Couldn't swim on the beach because it was stingers season, mommy said...

Hey hey... I just turn FOUR!

I am a big girl now, well... I have been for a little while, it's just that I am even bigger now ;-). I just turned four last month. I had a big birthday party at the park next to where we live. Had a lot of friends coming and I was very happy. We played lots of games like egg n spoon race, sack race, pass the parcel and I had a big princess pinnata full of goodies.

Me with my big 4 pink birthday cake.

Well, I didn't win but I had a lot of fun!

This was us looking for all the goodies that fell out of my princess pinnata.

Me again... on my birthday...

Here I was with Isabela, Joseph, Jameson and Ben. We are forming a staircase cutekids band and this was our first meeting.

Poor brother wasn't too happy. He didn't get any attention at all on that day... Almost forgotten.. lucky Nanna Rani is with him a lot...

My Brother...

It has been over a year since the last update and despite many protests from many people, my mommy claimed she was super busy but I still think she was just being lazy... But here it is finally... an update... and well, hopefully a few more after this. There has been quite a lot going on between then and now. I have just turned 4 and brother is turning 2 soon. We played together well although I don't like it when brother always tries to snatch my food.. He loves his food but so do I.. well, not as much as he does, but still...
I am going to go to Preschool next year, 3 days a week.. yiha.. i can't wait. We are also going to go on a big family holiday back to where mommy came from in January to attend ciu-ciu Ti and aunty Kirsten's wedding. That would be fun! I will be the flower girl... yes!
Hmm.. what else? hard to think of where to start telling... maybe when mommy starts to post some more photos, I could tell more from the photos. But for now, here you are... some photos of my brother... He is big boy now. I love playing with him. He is a bit naughty at times especially when he copies what I do! That's when mommy will have a go at me for giving bad examples to brother. Well, I would say that's your fault, brother, for copying me... not my fault for doing it! Sometimes we fight as well, especially when my brother tries to take MY food when he already finishes his. Oh, and sometimes when I can get angry at my mommy for having a go at him even when he is naughty. I love my brother!


Hmmm... mommy, haven't we seen photo of me like this somewhere before? We kids just like smudging chocolate all over our face... it's fun, especially when we could get away doing it on the clothes, floor and furniture as well.. Hey, brother, watch out, you are just next to daddy's message chair. Don't think he would want chocolate on it as well after the orange juice last week...

Giddy up horse... giddy up...

Howdy, partner...!

yes, just like that...

hey mommy... i know that photo... I took it! I got your camera last night (mom: 'last night' is what Cherese said for every occassion in the past) and we went upstairs into the bedroom and took photos...

Yeah.. look who like to have their photos taken..!

The Vessel

This is one of the Australian Custom Vessel that daddy goes to sea in. This photo was taken on one of the cold morning when we had to drive daddy to the boat. He went for 10 days on that trip. He just got back yesterday.

Katherine Gorge with Aunty Cat

Mommy's friend, Aunty Cat (I pronounced it Aunty Tat), from Tassie came and stayed with us for a week for holiday. We did a lot of things with her and when mommy's working, she took me out as well. I think she thought I was naughty but cute. We went fish feeding as well and she bought me an icypole. On the weekend, we went for a 4 hour boat tour in Katherine Gorge which is about 299 km from Darwin. We had a great time, grandma, mommy, aunty Tat, Nathaniel and I.

Sorry, 'thaniel... you are too little to go into this big nice Lily pond. You are lucky enough that mommy can carry you to here and you don't have to wait on the boat. It was a rough walk to here.

There were 4 gorges that we toured with the boats. From each gorge, we had to get off the boat, walk on the sand and across the stoney separator between one gorge to another, and then get on to another boat. I was always running although sometimes when it got too dangerous mommy had to carry me across.
Look.. look.. brother is eating icypole... hey, brother, aren't you a bit too small for icypole???
Don't try and chase me mommy... I am not going anywhere anyway. So don't worry.
Hey, have you ever seen a 'natural catwalk' ???
sua ku...

Breakfast @ Cornucopia

Sunday Morning, mommy took grandma, me and 'thaniel to breakfast at cornucopia cafe by the water. It was yummy!! And I loved running around the lawn and it was so beautiful by the water. now, that's what we call a beautiful smile...
action!!
Look, even 'thaniel was really happy... so sweet...
that's one happy brother and grandma...
oi, 'thaniel... don't look so serious...
still have that frown.. just relax, brother.. it's okay...
Don't let go mommy... 'thaniel is scared, he's hanging onto mommy so tight!
Hey, brother, are you saying that you look more like mommy than me? naahhh.. I reckon I still look more like mommy than you! ;-p

Puss @ work

Aunty Jill found a poor little puss outside of mommy's office and decided to keep her, so she was named Triple S (short for Student Systems Support). Poor little puss was lucky enough though... coz aunty Jill is a true cat lover and she will be looked after well.
