Minikin love

Are these not the cutest minikins you have ever seen??? Well these are actually the first minikins i have seen :) My sister is a bit of a wizz at gardening and this is part of her harvest. So cute i just had to take a pic.

OWLS!!!!!!!

So it was my birthday the other day and i got the best owl from my friend rebekah. I LOVE owls and it was just the best pressie :)

Tama has made us a new bed and new bedside cabinets and when it is all finished i will pop up some pics but my new owl looks so great next to my bed.

Isn't it great when someone knows you really well and gets it just right when giving gifts.

2 MORE GOLDS!!!!!!!!!!!!

No words needed the pictures say it all

Bringing home the gold baby!!!

So in our house at the moment it's Olympics fever!!!!!!!!!! anyone else like that? I have visions of what could have been if I had carried on with my running and jumping, perhaps an unrealistic dream but you never know ;) I am just so proud when I see all these athletes giving it their all. Makes me so stoked to be a KIWI.

Can't wait for tonight for the rest of the rowing and Nick Willis in the 1500. 

And didn't our boys do well last night!!! whoop whoop.

Makes you think...

my 15 year old :)

Sometimes i find it hard to believe i have a 15 year old!!!! 2.5 more years and she will be at uni!!!! eeekkk. I remember being 15 so clearly, and really i think my daughter has it so much more together than i did. She is amazing and i love her.

My new china cabinet!!!!!!!!!!!

So this is my new china cabinet!!!! i Love it. I brought it for my self for mothers day :) saved Tama thinking of something. Had a bit of trouble with no key to open it once i got it home!!!! but nothing the trusty friendly local locksmith couldn't fix ;). It is in my lounge and sometimes i just look at it and sigh happily.

Lol it looks like everything is in a wee prison.

Don't you love the gravy boat and matching egg cups!!!! they were my grandmothers

Finally found a home for my crown lynn swan.
