Odds

I Havent posted anything in a while so I thought I'd overwhelm you with a few family fun times.
Oumie and Amber having supper :-)
Poor Oumie hardly had any food for herself after Amber was finished... Candice and Dirk. Candice is off to Cape Town to start her new career so I had a family dinner at my place for her before she left. (sob sob)
My Pixie Face :-)


The three musketeers....




My table setting for the family dinner. You cant see on the photo's but Candice even got treated to candles and Sias made Jan Ellis Pudding for dessert... Mmmm


Cutie Pie with her cow slippers


We were in Buffelspoort for the long weekend. We go with Sias's family and friends every year!
This is a rare brother and sister pic.


Amber is a race star on her scooter!!!! Amazing how fast they can go on these things



I hope you enjoyed my update! More to follow soon....

Diving Weekend at Umkomaas!

We had another wonderful weekend of Diving over the Easter holidays! My mom went with to babysit and Dad also dived with us! I qualified as an advanced Padi diver and had to navigate with a compass and write my name backwards at 30m under the water!!!
I loved it and cannot wait to go dive the red sea in Egypt in June!!
Amber in the car on the way to Umkomaas which is about 60km from Durban!

My Mom and Dad in Sabastians

Us!!


This is me!! Sias bought me an underwater camera and housing when he was in Hong Kong which I just love!! I love taking photo's and now I can take them 30 m underwater too!!


A ragged tooth shark!




Turtle eating of the reef!






My old man....



LOL- this is n real close up of me 20m under water!!




A beautiful photo of a moray eel!!




Sias at the Produce shipwreck! I was surprised that this came out as it is 32m deep and very dark down there!!No light comes down to colour the photo's!





This is actually a fish on the shipwreck! Look carefully and you will see!





Easter Egg hunting!!


And to top it all of Amber decided that this was the weekend she was going to give up nappies for good! Well done my Pixie- at 26 months Mommy is so proud of you!!
Now we just have to dump the dummy.....

Elton John Concert

Sias and I were lucky enough to be VIP's at Elton Johns concert in the botanical gardens last weekend.
I have never been a huge fan but I must admit that the man sure knows how to entertain.
We really had a great time in the beautiful night sky with more or less 30 000 people around enjoying the show!!

My brand new kitchen!!

Just thought I'd show you some pics of my new kitchen. The photo's dont give it justice though!
I love it!!!!
We still need to put the blinds in but we want to do that when the whole house is done:-)
Here are photo's of my brand new smeg washing machine and dishwasher! An oven and stove any woman would die for.....
My previous stove was gas so I opted to go that route again!





A very nice wine rack and vegetable cupboard







I hope you like it as much as I do!

End of term @ ClamberClub

Amber has been a ClamberClub member since she was three months old. We had another end of term event complete with certificate and even big Jog came to say hello. Needless to say: Amber was terrified of big Jog. I have never seen her so scared in my life- POOR BABY! Suppose life- size frogs just arent her thing.
This was Saturday after Kelly concert. Then we still had a birthday party for one of Ambers friends afterwards!
They sure know how to take up your weekends...

Conner was following Amber around the whole morning!


Isnt she just the cutest! Mommy just loves this little face!
