Elly turns 4!

On September 2 Elly turned 4 years old!  We had a little party the week before with her best friend from school, Abigail.  We did makeovers and manicures and had a dance party and a tea party!  It was a wild time and they had so much fun.

Hazel would NOT eat the cotton candy!

Charlie graduated from 2 years of HIPPY!

I was trying to get a picture of Hazels rash - when cinnamon touches her skin it turns all red!

Birthday flowers for Elly!

For Elly's birthday dinner we went out to the Isa Hotel

Hazel has gone pee on the potty a couple of times

It was also Fathers Day so we made a delicious dinner for Andrew

Rodeo and Book Week

The Mount Isa Rodeo is apparently the largest one in the Southern Hemisphere, and along with the came the Isa Street Festival, so after our vacation we weren't bored that's for sure!

On the Thursday of the rodeo its free to get in!

Parade time!

The kids were excited to get lots of lollies at the parade

Kindy Dress up time! Elly and her bestie Abigail

Charlie was Jafar for book week!  I think his costume turned out really well!

The Cahoons Visit

Not long after we got home from Cairns, Andrews parents came to the outback for a little visit!  They were here for a couple of weeks and then we all headed off to Cairns (again!) to meet up with Janet's family as well as Wendy and her son Cameron.  Andrew drove with the older kids and his parents, while Hazel and I flew out (her first airplane ride - it was ok - could have been better, could have been worse!)  We rented an airbnb and had heaps of fun with family.

Elly thought it was funny to wear Nanas shower cap!
