Music Masters

I Was lucky enough to join Amber for Music Masters on Thursday! It is n music programe and the results are AMAZING!!

Amber loves singing and dancing, doing all the moves to the songs. Amazing what Gemma achieves with them. From the little tamborines to the shakers- Amber loves them all.

I had so much fun playing around with these photo's and making up oldies of Sias and myself that I just had to share them...

My clever girl

Just thought these were too cute not to share! Amber is growing up so fast and the way she communicates is just amazing. So speaks so well for 18 months.. Mommy is so proud of you my Pixie.

Wedding Legends

According to an old legend, the month in which you marry may have some bearing on the fate of the marriage:
"Married when the year is new, he'll be loving, kind and true;
When February birds do mate, you wed nor dread your fate;
If you wed when March winds blow, joy and sorrow both you'll know;
Marry in April when you can, joy for Maiden and for Man;
Marry in the month of May, and you'll surely rue the day;
Marry when June roses grow, over land and sea you will go;
Those who in July do wed, must labor for their daily bred;
Whoever wed in August be, many a change is sure to see;
Marry in September's shrine, your living will be rich and fine;
If in October you do marry, love will come but riches tarry;
If you wed in bleak November, only joys will come, remember;
When December snows fall fast, marry and true love will last

My Table settings

So these are the final proofs for my name cards on the tables. I wanted them hanging from the wine glasses and think they have come out stunning. We just have decide which of the two we like the most but I think Sias and I are pretty set on the first one!!

My Pixie

I love my little Pixie so much & just had to share this stunning picture with you!!

This morning as we were about to leave for work Sias asked why Amber was so quiet. Any parent should know that when you cant hear them it spells TROUBLE!! So we went into her room. She was busy putting vaseline on her face, her hair,her clothes- EVERYTHING, at the same time singing and dancing to the music on her CD player! I couldnt help laughing. In the end even Sias had to change his shirt, vaseline EVERYWHERE!!! Amber thought it was so funny, she couldnt stop dancing and showing me her hands that were full of vaseline!!

Ai Pixie, mommy loves you plenty....

Sias's Birthday

Happy Birthday Bibby

Ek kannie wag vir die res van ons lewe om te begin nie!!

Hugs and kisses

Moms Birthday

It was my moms birthday on Saturday and we used this opportunity to take some pics of all of us together!! Amazing how time flies, and nice to see our family growing too!!

Sias always says that he doesnt know what my Dad ever did to deserve to be so completely outnumbered by all the girls in the family!!!

Family Snaps from long ago...

The lady doing the DVD for my wedding has requested that Sias and I send her photo's of us as children. This got me snooping around the old albums, and lucky for you I have a scanner!! So enjoy the trip down memory lane!!

This is a picture of my mother and me!!

I think its stunning.

I thought my Aunts might enjoy this family photo. I think its a great photo of the 'Beech' family!!

One of my birthday parties when we still lived in Grootvlei. You can see Garreth in the front and Samantha too...

Ha ha, Candice having a rather lopsided bath in the caravan!!

Valmai and me!! I loved this particular see saw/table and played on it for many years!!!

The Long family at our house in Heidelberg...

I thought that this one of Melissa and me as flower girls at Valmai's wedding was so fitting with all the weddings taking place... Aren't we just too cute??

Here is a baby photo of me with Valmai and Nanna. A long long time ago....

We went for lunch at Fahrenheit Sunday after fetching my wedding dress, and fitting the guys suites!! They have the most amazing play area for the kids and Xanthis and Amber went crazy!

This is the cutest little photo of Amber peeping through the window in the play aeroplane. Looks like we have a pilot in the making!! We could not get her out of the plane and she even squeezed through the bigger kids so she could sit in the drivers seat!!!


Amber and Xanthis had such a good time on the slides. Xanthis always got to the top first then waited for Amber before going down!!


Amber enjoyed every single spoonful of her ice cream and chocolate sauce! She finished the entire bowl by herself!!
