kirsty looking very tired

and just everyone dancing woo hoo

Man what a night and morning - thanks to everyone having a great night - there was even a handful that watched the sun come up

what a week

well where to start - last weekend steve went fishing for the whole weekend and had a great time with all his mates - have no photos and no fish as they ran out of ice to bring any home - oh well at least he can say he cought something this time - (well so he said)

Auntie Cheryl arrived on friday night for a quick weekend visit to organise her flower girl and her bridesmaid annie to have a fitting with her dress. We shopped all weekend for kirsty's dress and finally found one on Monday - Yes I know christine she should be honoured hey - Me shop all weekend not heard of and to make the deal better I had to drive all the way into TOWN like 5 times - I had to have the esky in the back with food and drinks -lol. Had a lovely weekend with my sister and she flew out on monday night

Woo hoo not long to the wedding now.

last sunday me and the girls went to the wharf to surprise Tracy for her birthday - she turned up at the wharf expecting to have a family dinner well there were just a few more than she expected. Christine made this lovely cake for her - very cool cake

Then on Thursday night I went to Wongabilla and had a BBQ and a few drinks for Karens birthday - she is my instructor their but we have all become good freinds so was nice to spend her birthday with her. I also grabbed the float from there ready for the next day.

Well today(friday ) is the day to pick up Crystal and Spirit. Karen and Tracy arrived at our home in the morning - we took Kirsty to school and off we went - took two hours to get there and they floated really well for two horses that havent done it very much.

We got home in good time dropped crystal off and kept going to drop off spirit with karen - Oh my what a long day but so exciting I gave the camera to ashley to take a photo of kirsty all excited when she got home and this is the photo she took

great photo ash

This is spirit with Karen

today Fiona (the lady who sold the horse) came around and spent the afternoon with Kirsty so they could have a ride and get to know the horse they had the best time and Kirsty has really done well and they are both bonding - it was fun to watch - Oh how exciting having a horse here.

new horse

Just a quick post as we are all so excited but i am exhausted - long day

Here are some pictures of Crystal - we got her today i will write more tomorrow

MIA

well I am so sorry - been missing

what have we all been up too - well steve turned 40 and I am kicking myself as I left my camera in a freinds car and could not take any photos and the girls made him a cake and had it from head to toe - so yummy chocolate cake. We are organising a huge party on the 28th March to celebrate his 40th , and also Johnnys 60th and our housewarming. So I will make it up then.

We have been horse hunting for kirsty and have found a palimino which we are very excited about - the only problem at the moment is getting it off the owner - she has to sell but not wanting too - so every time we make an appointment to pick her up she changes the day - so I hope it all works out.

This is the worst you will ever see her - they pulled her out of the paddock and she was filthy dirty and has sap all through her hair - Just wait to you see her all prettied up.
