Training their Dolls

Maria's and Laura's dolls are saying their prayers before going to bed.

Chantelle's Birthday || Part Deux

After the beach and dinner we had a bonfire. S'mores . . . Marshmallows . . . Tried not to let Koda (dog) eat everything. We girls were just standing talking {kind of quietly} when we saw Nathan (Chantelle's bro) come round from the other side of the fire . . . Umm . . . What did you just throw on?! . . . Nothing! . . . *silence* . . . BANG! . . . Yep, pretty sure that's what nothing sounds like when it explodes!

And yeah, I didn't take my camera out . . . Sorry 😛

Cupcakes! Passion fruit and such with choc icing . . . Yum!

Coffee! Yep, perfect photo op 😛

Movie screen the size of a wall anyone?! #love

Chantelle's Birthday || Part Un {Beach}

So one of my long-time friends turned 20 earlier this year. (It's crazy, I'm pretty sure we were only eight a couple years ago :P) I hadn't seen her for AGES, but I managed to make it up to her place for this occasion. It's a fair bit easier now that I'm a fully-licensed driver and I can head up on my own! In the end only blogger-friend Kayger and I went, but the three of us enjoyed a few hours together. 

After feeding the animals we headed down to the beach for a few hours:

: : Koda (right) had a great time! : :

: : Love this pic! : :

Milda || Hunter

So I'm not really sure whether I should explain these pics. Some of you cat-lovers will like this post but I think there are probably a few of you who will focus more on the fact that we had mice inside our house. A couple months back we had problems with mice in our storeroom eating the food. Then inside, one went behind the couch and chewed holes in clothing I had listed on Trade Me (some of it was expensive branding too!!). 

Milda was our sole eradicator. Only she'd bring them inside and if they didn't move much, just leave them. Above she's seen hunting them. And yes, in a couple of the pics she's right at the top of the wall unit (or on top) and looking behind the filing pile. Bottom pic she's gone in for the catch! 

And these will probably be the list pics I post of my little girl (since the ones I wanted are outside in a box lol). I got her when I was about six and she died June 2nd of this year. :'(

{And yes, she's pretty skinny in these pics. She just didn't put the weight on, and it was kidney failure that she ended up dying of.)

Renovating the Boys' Bedroom

So I should have put this post up before all the wedding pics but hey . . . :P Some of our Aussie rallies came to stay for the wedding so we renovated the boys' room for them to use. We were a bit slack with photos but here are some that we did get :) {In case anyone's interested in home renos lol}
