Dorset Mini Holiday

On Saturday August 1st it was my birthday so Tim, Juliette, Jeremy and I went camping to Dorset. Where we camped was right by the beach and so we decided to do some fossil hunting while we were there. We all had a great time, and I really enjoyed my birthday. For my birthday i got a new camera which I'm very excited to start using.

Russell and Amy Got Engaged

We have a new addition to the family (Can you spot her?)

Russell proposed to Amy Page in May 2009. She said yes so now Amy is joining the family.

Here is a picture of her engagement ring which Russell and Amy both picked out (Isn't it beautiful)

Here are some engagement pictures from their wedding invitation.

St. George 2009

Hannah, Brett and some of Brett's family went to St. George for the Parade of Homes. Which is an event where you look around lots of amazing homes - some are absolutely massive and ridiculous and some of them are cute and give you good ideas. Whilst there they also visited the St George Temple and the narrows which is a really thin gap in a rock that you walk through, played lots of games, went to the hot tub every night, some shopping and visited lots of cute little cafes and restaurants. The weather was beuatiful and overall it was a very enjoyable trip to have a break from school.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Tim and I went on a weekend getaway for Valentines day. We went to Winchester with Nathan and Becky Bowles. Winchester is where Jane Austen grew up so we visited a lot of places that inspired her books. Below are some pictures of our fun weekend.

Michael Urie and Becky Hooson's Wedding

We all travelled up to Leeds to see Mike and Becky get married and it was an absoltely beautiful day. CONGRATULATIONS Mike and Becky Urie!

CHRISTMAS TIME

All the children got up early and open their stocking presents and then Tim and I joined htem downstairs to open the Christmas presents under the tree. We all had lots of fun opening our presents together. We then had lots of fun preparing the Christmas dinner (using the Jaime Oliver cookbook of course)...which was delicious. The Bowles arrived and we all ate together. We had lots of fun playing with Jeremy's Christmas present which was table top football. After dinner we even went out for a very cold trip on the boat.

Santa's Little Helpers

Hannah and I went to my work Christmas Party to have fun and help out. The Mrs Clause didn't turn up so Hannah got to be Mrs Clause in the Santas Grotto for the Christmas party.
