Its arrived... FOOTBALL...

What a shocker of a day today!! The first day of the Auskick Football Season for the two boys!! I couldn't believe it had to start today, and the day was just a shocker. It poured, it rained, it was windy, not what I call "Football" especially when they need parents volunteers. Sorry.. but I' sitting on the brick wall, with a umbrella on my head, and don't expect me to volunteer.

Tyler started with Auskicks 5 year olds... he loved it! I think what he loved the best was the rain! As how often do we as parents let kids play in that chilly windy rain???? But half of his team ran off crying as it was cold but my son, just stayed out there to continue. Unfortunately due to the weather, they only played half a match!

As a scrappin mum.. I couldn't believe it, that I actually forgot my camera. Wasn't feeling too good this morning, and was unsure of what was going on.. but I relize that I had to go, because Brandan was playing somewhere else at a different time! But as the day progressed on, I slowly started to feel better!

RIP ..... Tessa Woods

Unfortunately with a huge sadness in our hearts, we had to say goodbye to Tyler's good friend from pre primary Tessa Woods.

Just prior to the school holidays starting, her parents were called to the school to pick up there daughter, as they relized that something was seriously wrong. She had some neurological damage, but at this stage, parents were not aware of how serious it was.

After having a CAT Scan and MRI, it turned out that she had a huge mass on the brain called "Inoperatable Brain Tumour" What??? What?? How could such a sweet little girl suffer this. In the 48 hour time frame, she had lost her sight in her right eye, and was unable to walk (paralized on her left side). How could this happen?

Unfortunately she had a massive bleed to the brain, required surgery again, and apparently lost her battle for life on the April 24th where her parents made the heart breaking decision to let her go.

RIP Tessa Leigh Ann Woods.

Country Side Visit during School Holidays...

I know.. I know.. its been ages since I've updated my BLOG.. but for me to sit on the computer at the moment, isn't really appealing, tend to be spending alot of time with either the kids or just trying to keep up with the blast of the housework.

Thought it was time I got updated a bit, so I will post a few entries today, as so much as happened since!

Firstly... we took the plunge and went up north with my Mum to catch up with some of her family for a week. I so thoroughly enjoyed the week, just so eye catching for Tyler too, as he's at the age now of really understanding who is who, and how everyone is related! But boy, did he have some questions for us all....

Before we left on the Monday, Tyler had a bit of a bad night on the Sunday night. So, here I was debating on wether we should take the plunge and continue the trip with Mum.. but he was crying that he still wanted to go... so ended up going. Woke up on Monday with a high temperature, vomitting and dirrehea, but we still ended up going, and Mum was really good with him too.

Firstly, we went to Geraldton, where we spend two nights there. We caught up with my Grandfather (which is my Mum's Dad), it was nice to see him, as the only chance we get to see him, is when we go there to visit him. He was so good. Really amazed me, considering he is in his 80's now, living alone, with the help of Silver Chain. He adored being with Tyler, and did try to please Tyler most ways.



After having two nights here, we then progressed on to Three Springs, which is where I grew up and spend 17 years of my life here, stayed the night with my Dad's parents, which are still really well, but are showing signs of early alzheimer's, so they are both currently trying to get treatment for this. But other then that, Tyler had a blast, playing with Pop and the pool table.

After this, we then progressed on to Perejori, which is where my Mum spend all of her growing years on the farm, before she moved to Three Springs and married my dad. We stayed at my Aunty's farm, and Tyler just had a blast. He certainly didn't want to go home either! I must share some photos here thou.






So, after 6 nights away, we unfortunately had to return back home to return to the normal every day lifestyle!!! Tyler was devasted when he left for home, so when we left, my aunty said to me "you know you are welcome back here anytime" and I didn't relize that Tyler was listening, and he said "Yep for sure I'm coming back!" So, isn't it nice to be able to to take the kids on a holiday and not spend any money!

Fun with Google...

Thought everyone could do with a laugh while the kids are annoying you all!

Happy Easter....

I know... I know.. its been a while since I've updated BLOGGER, but here I am now!

Nothing much has really been happening... so hence the reason for no update on Blogger.

I was dealt with the most devasting news that I could handle. A close friend of mine, and also Tyler's school friend, has a inoperatable brain tumour! What the?? Apparently, its been growing for a few years unnoticeable, and apparently the tumour is too close to the brain, and if she has a operation, she could risk becoming blind, paralized, or even die if she has a blood clot to the brain. She's only 5 years old how do you tell a 5 year old that your friend is in hopsital and might not live? They are doing a biospy this week to see if the tumour is maliagnat or not, if it is, they will try radiation and chemo treatments, just to give her more time. What is worst, her mother is expecting their 3rd child in 7 weeks. It was just a sad day for me, and had the need to go out, so we ended up going to Fremantle on Good Friday, and it was just a great day, as it was the start of the Freo Festival "Busking" and the acts they were doing was just brilliant. ended up staying there and had fish and chips for tea.

Things have been good around the home front... holidays is on and Tyler is so rapt. (I think he just had enough of pre primary!!) We've got so much planned for the holidays, that I am so looking forward to having a week of relaxation when we go to Geraldton, Three Springs, Perenjori for the second week of the holidays with Mum. We are visiting Mum's side of the family, heading out to a farm, where I know Tyler is going to have a ball just hanging around with my uncle and of course my cousins, driving the tractors and etc. Can't wait! Will at least keep him out of mischief!

Have got a busy Easter Long Weekend, but I'm happy with it, so today we are heading of to Kings Park to catch up with my old mothers group for a play and a coffee.. and then after that, going to a Easter Egg Hunt with Tyler's school friends, and we get the chance for a catch up (won't be a nice catch up as we've since heard the news of Tyler's school friend) and then probably stay on for pizza and a few drinks.

Tmrw (Easter Sunday), thought we might just head out in the 4WD for the day.. not too sure where we are going yet, but I just want to get out of the house.... as sick of doing house work (who isn't....) and then on Monday going to catch up with my sister and see how her renovations are going.

Well.. nothing exciting is it.. just a reason to update my Blogger!

Might have some photos to share after Easter!

Take care and drive safe on the roads.
