Zoe has a twin


I bet none of you knew that zoe had a twin did you,,,well here she is...this is zoe's cousin shannon.
They are nearly the same age...zoe is 9 months older.
Daz was watching them run and he said they even run alike and have some same mannerisms. I have mistaken them twice on 2 different occasions for each other....hmmm what was i thinking hahaha.

We had a wonderful suprise last wed night...my sister had one of my other nieces staying with her and she was going to go home on the Thursday well Daz said why dont we ask monique to bring brooke around before she goes home and i agreed.

Well just after i arrived home in came my other sister and the best thing of all was she had both her daughters with her...we were so rapt. They all came out for tea along with my sister jodies friend dave and his daughter tarryn..with whom my 13 year old son was quite smitten with i might add :) SO cute.....

Now its not that i dont get along with all my sisters but we just dont keep in contact which we have all decided to rectify because these girls are jsut the most gorgoeus things and we have missed out so much by not having them in our lives.

I rang jo today just to say g'day and we had a great chat. I explained that i am sorry we havent kept in touch and why...we feel our family (us 4) is our family and that is what is important to us but in so saying this we have missed so much.

They all had a ball when they visited us and they cannot wait to see us again. Us either!!

Lots of things today

Hello once again i was going to update last night but i got busy looking at other stuff and got side tracked haha.

Lots have been happening here lately.
First of all my DD hockey team won the u/11 grand final first time ever yeehaa. Unfortunately when they took the team photo for the paper my little girl wasnt in it nor did she even get a absent mention...i was very dissapointed about it. We had to leave to go to a family reunion at Loxton but we needed to go from Berri back to Renmark and then back thru Berri and over to Loxton that day...argh!!! And still we were late for the reunion.

Thats was alot of fun, Darrel got to meet cousins he had never met before, alot of them knew he existed but only had met his brother when younger...so there you have it 38 years old and meeting cousins for the first time.

Darrel had a ball catching up and meeting them all. We have promised to keep in touch with alot of the cousins and many have said to pop in to see them when we go to Adelaide.

Today is a crappy day outside, very cool and windy. We are planning to visit my sister today as we have something to drop of to her for the kids.
We were planning to do alot in our garden today and i guess we still can ,,, i need to go and do some shopping at some stage today so everyone has food to eat this coming week. The kids are on holiday so they feel the need to eat everything in the pantry!

I had my very good friend visit from Melbourne last weekend....we had a terrific time but unfortunately they had to go home early as her mum was taken to hospital but we decided that from Fri night to Sun morning was better than nothing at all. Had we known they were to go home early we wouldnt have had them visit us so a little was definately better than none at all.
We met for the first time about 4 years ago and we are quite close we ring each other alot and she has children the same age as mine.

Would you believe that we also got a phone call from friends in Red Cliffs saying they were planning to come visit that weekend......they havent been here in 8 years...im not sure if they have been here before but anyway we had to say sorry......we managed to catch up with them on Monday as we had to go to Mildura to get our tax done and we met up with them and our other lot of friends as well.....us 3 girls share the same birthday...2 on the same day and one two days later....and our kids are all close in age but they had girls first then boy i had the boy then the girl:)

Well im going to cut it short here Dh is getting things ready to go to my sisters so im going to have to have a shower.....boo hoo i love to live in my pjs on the weekend for as long as possible:)
