HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY, DAD / GRANDPA!

Family pics!

Jordy had on Callyn's shorts in the beginning......

.....but they fell off!

Beach

We had to go the to beach every day and Callyn spent most of the time in the water! Donovan spent most of the time on his phone as it was a normal working day for him! Jordy also swam a lot but she likes to dig and collect shells and stones!

Callyn caught a baby lizard at Grandpa and Nana's house and "released" it outside! He loves all creatures and was really upset when we couldn't keep a baby snake that was given to him a few weeks ago - it was poisonous, thank goodness!!!!

Port Elizabeth

We went to PE last Monday to see Dad and Carol (Grandpa and Nana) and we stayed in this lovely guesthouse called Le Blue. We had breakfast overlooking the sea.

There was also a pool in the middle of all the rooms and Jordy managed to fall in the second day but she was being a monkey and trying to walk between the railing and the pool. I was inside and heard a big splash! Luckily she can swim and the pool was 4 steps away from my room!

We also took the school books along and managed to do a bit of work! Donovan says I am a slave driver!

Pam and Alta

The children enjoyed the 'small pool' as they called it!

We went to Johannesburg last weekend to see Riverdance. It was an amazing show! Callyn loved it but Jordy slept through the first half!
It was the best birthday weekend!

Jordy plays in the strangest places - here she is in the teddy suitcase with her "friends"!

My old school uniform - I doubt I"ll fit into it so Jordy is the model!

The weekend

We do art on Fridays and this lesson was fun for the kids. They drove their cars through paint and made lovely patterns on paper!

I made a fun snack for the kids with their favourite foods - carrots, peas, chicken, home-made bottled beetroot and cucumber!

Callyn ate his eyes first!

We don't see many lizards in the house!

My Two Favourite Toys!

These are my two favourite toys - My Kindle and My Blackberry!

And they are matching - I'm going through a pink phase which I guess is Jordy's influence.

I have had my kindle for a few months and I am loving it. I have read about 20 books. And Donovan surprised me with a Blackberry today! I have been trying to learn how to use it all afternoon! It is amazing!

So Moms can also have toys!

New bikini!

Isn't Skype amazing! Here is Jordy skyping Meggie who now lives in Secunda!

Daddy's shorts!

Jordy fell asleep like this and almost fell off the bed! She's actually fallen off a few times so now I pile all her soft toys at the end of her bed like a wall of toys!

Pool time!

Callyn is copying Donovan's tricks!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ABBY!

To our special niece and cousin

We wish you the best birthday ever! I can't believe our baby Abby is now 14! You've grown up to be a beautiful, kind, gentle and sweet young lady. Have a happy day. We love you lots!

Kerry, Donovan, Callyn and Jordy

PS. See you in less than 3 months!

GRADE 1

Callyn started Grade 1 this year! He wrote his first spelling test on Friday and got full marks! Well done my big boy!

Jordy has a new cossie!

Jordy and Liza played mommies and babies today!

Russ, this is for you - I really am a hoarder! This is your project from Standard 6!!!!!! I wonder why I have it! It's moved 8 times! (Durbs, East London and Bloem!)

Hair cut!

Callyn was so good whilst having his hair cut today. I actually wanted it a bit shorter but the hairdresser was busy with another client at the same time so next time we'll go a bit shorter!

I found Jordy sitting in her wooden box surrounded by her friends and reading a book!

Callyn had so much fun with his microscope today. He went outside with his collection bottles and gathered a few samples. We put them on slides and had a look!
