we went here for late lunch.took ammon and Josh.it was great.ammon loved the lollies and we loved the chocolate ganache balls...only $1:50 each.really good.
then the other night we went to the Quarry www.thequarry.com.au....suuuuch a cool place,and the food was ALL good.I think everyhting on the menu would have been good.We actually only had dessert but wow so yum.Tone had the fondue and i had a choc honeycomb cake..i know i know not gonna loose the preggas pounds this way but hey it was sooooooooo goooood.We will definatley go back there.I wanna get one of the little booths out the back.they have red leather couches with curtains separating each booth.
we found a groovy cafe in North hobart the other week too.kinda diagonally opposite the state theatre.cant remeber its name but was fun.we played chess and had tapas.
Another goodie we went to before Josh was born was Montys www.montys.com.au in montpelier retreat.very good food and another groovy restautant design.cool owners too.they had this amazing chocoltae pudding dessert with a gooey choc centre served with blue cheese icecream...very amazing,kinda like choc dessert and cheese plate all in one.
so check them out all you lovers an foodies.
and let me know ones you have come across too.
oh Mr woobys in salamanca very good too

Had to loose the sunset on Lord Howe Island...took up too much room.besides gotta get one wiv ickle Joshie:)

Lest we Forget

The boys went to an anzac campover last night with Cubs and attended the dawn service and marched in the 11 am service at South Arm today,then onto the RSL for sosos and games,us grown ups had yummy roast lunch.twas a fun time...not much sleep i hear from Zach and Tony as they went along too.But good to get into the Anzac spirit.Some of the poems at the service really bought a tear to my eye.

aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi!!

Tone put together the wreath for our pack to carry and lay at the cenotaph.The scouts always make their own wreaths.looks good huh.

10 scarves by friday

Akalya(Cub scout leader) asked me on Monday night if i would make the scarves this year...i said no worries ...i can make them in all my free time!!!????

anyway..they are done and i didnt even have to stay up all night to finish them.They look pretty flash too.

The man in the moon

Tthought id post this photo of the moon a few nights ago...thought you might be sick of all the sunrises on our blog??..probably not really but anyway...how good has the full moon been?has been fine by me while i walk around the house finding nappies at 3am and stumbling to the cradle.Im a bit of an astronomy girl....not particularly educated about it all but very intereseted none the less.

Pink sky at night shepherds delight(or sailors delight depending on your chosen career slash interest)

Sunday Best

We love taking photos of these Stripling warriors in their Sunday best....even if Ammon is still hypo from his sugar diet fridayand saturday...although i managed to get him to sleep during conference so it was bliss...how good were the speakers...spiritual feast alright!!!

speaking of feasting....look i have a waist!!..probably coz im not feasting on those choc chip Easter buns(pregnancy cravings)..that and another well minor detail..josh out not in !! hee hee

Gazing down on a sleeping child

Im not sure how many of these photos i have taken? each time i put him down for his night time sleep i think :)

Im not 100% certain (but im gonna check)

but i seem to remember for some reason that it was President Thomas.S Monson who said

"the most powerful of emotions in the world is not called out by any grand cosmic event,nor is it be found in novels or history books;merely it is found by a parent gazing down on a sleeping child.

so dont quote me guys(need to confirm if the Prophet ever said that)

but its one of my favourite quotes.so true huh.

Caught the sun this morning

Goooorgeous!!

We dont have curtains on our bedroom window...probably shouldtn write that!!!????

Its very private ,lots of trees etc...But it means that we are woken by the sun each day.Its amazing.Although alot of the time i kinda roll over to take a glimpse at the sunrise colours through groggy,not much sleep eyes.

this morn we even managed to get a photo.Magic huh.thought we'd share with y'awl.

Growing dinosaurs.

James and Ange sent these for brithday pressies.We love them!!!!fanks guyz!xo

We'll keep you posted.hoping they dont get too big as we dont have a swimming pool and dont want to scare the Cremorne residents when we have to put it in the lagoon.they'll think its the Lochness dude!

oh great!!! i forgot to spin the photo.man this is one of the most amatuer blogs you'll find...oh well:)

but yeah ...bit of an obsession this huh!...the kids might already be sick of hearing "oh goodie we can put that on our Blog ":)

Husbands????

Tone was excited about his new country music CD???? He bought it for the road as he ended up driving to Sydney from Melbourne as he had a client somewhere in the middle
I said "did you think of me when you listened to them?"..."yep" and he played me some of them...one entitled "I need a man who needs a girl who doesnt like flowers"????...so um thats supposed to be a good thing??? Husbands say the nicest things hey!
Love ya Tone !!sooooo glad you had that could listen to all that country...and i didnt have to listen also!!! but truth is after 11 years of him playing country music im kinda becoming converted...but I will never voluntarily pull out one of Slim dusty's first records ....mama its ....well ...painful !but love you too Slim!

my blog discalimer: no spell check and late nigth posts..oh and a fried /no sleep /post natal brain......sooooo .......everything sounds like ...well nothing like anyhting intelectual.hee hee.B

Daddy's Home!

This was cool.Tone told me he would be home at about 10pm or later as you can never rely on the planes(he'd been on mainland for the night)...and something about not much petrol in the car...and no service stations open at that time of night!!!but then Fletch saw the lights come down the drive around 8 and yippee surprise it was him.

Josh baby genius!

"hey interesting book Fletch! can we read selby next?

What??Its a good book :)

Fletcher's learning the Flute.
He showed up for the auditions.Showed them his stuff and was selected to be part of the school band.woo hoo.Go Fletch! He has actually picked it up remarkably well.Proud of you Buddy!
love Mum

Strahan Getaway

A beautiful town in the North west of Tassie.

This is the view from our chalet.

our little chalet.

Queenstown

a little mining town in the middle of nowhere basically!Its on the way to Straahn.just so happened we were starving hungry when we got there and we were all a bit worried about what might be avaliable....Queenstown not really known for its culinary treats...after ruling out a couple of dodgy takwaway shops we found a nice clean pizza shop...and you know they make the best pizzas!best we have tasted in ages!!
check out the road.I drove down it..kinda scary ...but no Targa Tasmania corners for me.

i still muck up the order of the writing and the photos...oh well one day!!!.and it might have been better to put a photo in from Ammons birthday dinner where the kitchen wasnt such a mess.oh well is all normal :)
happy Birthday guys
zach the big 15 and Ammon a terrific three(couold have said terrible but hey he is too cute...must be coz i have just tucked him into bed.....love them sooooo much...when they are asleep!! hee hee))

March is...Happy Birthday Zach and Ammon!

All Better!

and very cute
