A few randoms...

A few randoms from the last few weeks / days...
1) I am once again trying to get my life in order, I reading a health book (normally while I gym to get me hyped up) and also a book on how to organize my home and life - Thanks Jayde!! Loving it - and with that comes the need to be more healthy and happy and get my eating sorted out!

I have had three prefect eating days - yay.... so I'm feeling good!

2) I made mike and I a healthy breakfast the other day and of course, as it happens on most days, my oats boiled over! I was chatting too much and not watching it enough...

I added some banana and honey to make it delicious! and delicious it was!

3) Mike and I went out for lunch yesterday and had some lovely healthy food from Kauia...

 Mike had  a chicken ceaser sandwich and i had a thai veg wrap! We shared a cup of coffee like we always do - sharing is caring :)

4) Mike eyes twinkled when he told me Mr price now stock Liverpool shirts.... so I got him one!!

 If hes this happy then I am too!! Precious boy!

5) I had to have blood taken the other day and I am the WORST baby ever when a needle appears... Mike thought it was funny that Barney was helping me get through this ordeal...

Love my randoms, they make up the moments of our life!!

Wednesday freebee...

Today on our way to work, in the traffic someone came up the our car and handed me a free chocolate - what a lovely way to start the day! Of course Mike got it for work so that made for a good day all around...

My life.

Weekend update...

Our weekend update....
Friday I received my new phone, I upgraded and the one thing I am not happy about is that my new phone is black not white BUT I cant complain too much cause everything else about it rocks! I now have this awesome camera flash now too which will help my blogging :)

 The pups were fascinated and wanted to know what I had got (I think they were jealous dad didn't come home with a present for them too)

 How cute is Holly! Love this picture! Little ragga muffin!!

 I had no patience with this box - I had to RIP it!!

Yipppeee

 My precious husband transferring all my data from one phone to the other so I don't have to worry - bless his heart!

On Saturday we had the privilege of supporting some of our friends by attending their brothers funeral - I hate funerals and I really just get a huge knot in my stomach just thinking of going BUT when its a friend and they are hurting there is no where else I would be. The victory in all of this is Deon's brother gave his life to Jesus a few days before he passed away so the victory was won!! He was told a week before he passed away that he had a brain tumor.... a week later he was gone! Shocking and sad and so horrible BUT it would have been so much worse if he we knew he didn't know God!
That was first thing Saturday morning and after all that and some shopping we realized that we were hungry and hadn't eaten (the stress of the funeral I tell you) so mike took us out for Brunch... it was a lovely time to chat and kind of just say a few things that were on our hearts with contemplating funerals and death! It was a cool time actually!

Saturday night was pizza night.... 

 Home made pizza is the best!

 I made mike a cal-zone with the leftover dough for his lunch today - apparently it was GOOD!

 Our evening ended with us watching some 24 and eating our delicious pizza- Tim's ended up on my lap and slept there all night - sigh! Made me feel loved!

Why cant weekends last a little bit longer?

God knows

Monday is here already, the weekend went so quickly!!
After a very cool weekend with Mike when Monday rolls around I really miss him – I kissed him goodbye 40minutes ago and already I miss him… Monday is always a long day! The pups got shampooed and conditioned yesterday and because they were SO lovely and clean they slept by us last night all cuddling into us! Bliss… so I miss them also today!
Sigh.
One huge positive is that last night at church a wonderful, amazing 20year old girl preached (that in itself is HUGELY inspiring)…. YOH it was awesome and all about running our race well… there was SO much to take from the preach BUT the one thing that stand out to me is that no matter what happens just know God knows – so any situation just know that it might have taken you by surprise BUT it didn’t take God by surprise and God knows….
God knows, God always knows!! Something to remember in the hard times, our God knows and has never left us!! He is there with us and goes before us!

Happy Monday all!

What happened??

Last night was a busy night - I made my mom three trays of chocolate brownies ( I baked one on Monday, one on Tuesday and one last night) - I had to cut them and chocolate all of them and the drop them off at my moms for their holiday club. I made these for the kiddies that are going to the holiday club and my mom says they would so appricate some chocolate goodness....

We got home (me straight from gym), did the last tray of brownies, did washing, popped into the shops, dropped the brownies off at my parents and when we got home  it was just after 8:30pm and I hadn't even eaten dinner and was HUNGRY! Mike had a huge lunch so he wasn't too worried about food so he offered for me to go for a shower and jump into bed and he would make me some popcorn for dinner! YUM - best dinner don't you think! So I did just that... When I got out the shower I went to keep mike company in the kitchen and for some reason the popcorn was not popping and he couldn't understand why... we soon found out why....

 He put the wrong stove plate on and totally burned my pretty stove covers... OH DEAR!!

BUT after that the popcorn was divine!!

I was excited cause I LOVE popcorn... Mike and fun while I was acting in front of the camera!!

 NOT so pretty but hey, it was a LONG day!! and I was hungry :)

Thanks for dinner babes, was good to jump into a warm bed and noshing on this while watching some "24".... good end to the day!!

Weekend "pottering" around...

This weekend we had a homeish weekend - in between running around we managed to plant some pot plants for our patio! On Saturday morning we did a few things in Springfield and around about 11ish we started getting hungry so we stopped for some brunch - at Wimpy of course!!

 Best coffee ever!!

 Mike stole one of my chips in retaliation to me stealing one of his...

We got these plants from Jurgens, they are super easy to keep alive and that is why we LOVE them!!

We got some of these glass containers to plant them in.... as well as this love pot plant thingy...

Tims and Holly wanted to help (or eat the plants more like it)

 Don't you think this so pretty!!!

 We also got some solar powered fairy lights for the patio so I put those up while Mike potted the plants...

 I tried to take of Holly but you cant see her eyes - round two wasn't any better!! BUT how cute!

And my precious Tims....

 We also did a proper clean up....

I am loving how my patio is looking....

 Also got some astro for the pups - they LOVE it!!

aaahhhhh, the joy of spending a few hours working and loving the end result!!
