Australia Day

This is what we did today :) this is the first AUS Day that I haven't got the girls all decked out in patriotic gear and did something with the family. 

Australia Day 2010 (Part Two)

Don't I look sooo sweet! Mom made me a matching hair clip for my outfit. Too cute!!

Say "cheese" The girls are all ready to celebrate Australia Day!!


After the Whispering Wall we took the girls to Lyndoch where there was a shady park to play at and have a picnic. Grandma Jan and Pap Paw Kingsley met us there for some R&R.

Hiya Everybody!

I love this picture of her. She was squealing at the top of her lungs and this tunnel made it boom out so loud....ear pinching, but she loved it!

Swinging with Auntie Abby!

Hang on Emmy!! Grandpa was pushing her in the other swing and she nearly flipped out..eeekk... it's easy to do. Kim and Abby both have nearly flung her out of swings too. Maybe she'll go into gymnastics hahah

Lilah was giving us super big smiles and loved taking big swings!

Australia Day 2010 (Part One)

We took Auntie Abby to the Whispering Wall. It's a really neat spot that's about 15 min drive from our house. It's a huge damn that has some pretty awesome acoustics! If you stand on one side of it and someone else walks across it to the other side you can whisper to each other and the sound travels so well across it that you hear it as if you are standing right beside the person. WAY COOL!

Wow! A picture with all four of us in it! We don't have too many of these!

Abby at the Whispering Wall sign.

Here's where to whisper :)

Stepping down to there side of the dam.

They are way over there, but we hear them loud and clear :)

Abby and Emmy coming to join us! One one side the water is right up to the bridge and on the other side it's about a 500 foot drop....scary!

Australia Day BBQ

Here's the pictures I promised to post. It was a little overwhelming for Emmy to first get somewhere and be plopped down with a bunch of little girls but it didn't take her long to warm up to the idea and really start playing and enjoying herself!

Ashlee is giving Emmy the look of "Fool, what you cry'n bout?"

I'm not sure what was going on that had there attention but they soon came back to play :)

Standing up is Mahalia, Emmy, Ashlee is squatting, and Lacy sitting in the front.

Dad requested that she have a different hair style than the normal one pony on top so piggy tails it was!

Australia Day 2009

While her daddy was at the cricket we went up to Nuriootpa (click on Nuriootpa to read about it) to visit with her grandparents at the caravan park. It was a hot one too... 96 F and what a lucky girl Emmy was......she got to go naked in the pool and stay cool! Yesterday we went to an Australia Day BBQ and she got to play with her little girl friends but I forgot to bring my camera so as soon as I get some pictures off of our friend I'll post them up. It was very cute seeing Emmy get to play with 3 other girls around her age!



She wasn't into getting her picture taken today and I didn't capture a smile, but I did get a good picture of the new top tooth! This is for you Grandma Betsy and Great Grandma Martene!
