Best carrot cake

I wanted to make up my best carrot cake this morn and so it was time to crack open the walnuts ! How exciting. They have been in buckets since last summer.
Tis fun to begin to finally use some :)
We love smashing walnuts :)

Reality laundries

Oh man. I really wanna update this blog with my travel tales. But alas - reality laundry strikes again.

A Day in my spring garden

Pure bliss.
I just noticed my birthday flower has bloomed. The wisteria. It flowered outside the window where my mother lay with me in her arms as her first born baby. Aaaaaww :)
We love the wisteria :)

Just what have we Williams been doing ?

So the washings been folded, the lounge room floor cleared of toys, the washing up done windows washed , floors mopped , visiting teaching done and so now I have a lovely minute to update my blog. Haha. NOT !! I would like to think that those things have been accomplished ( and did i actually just put visiting teaching at the end of that list - oups !! :) ) Anyhew reality strikes! :) But it has been a wonderful year and there are PAGES of blog entries to catch up on. Perhaps I can find a few photos that will give a glimpse of some of our adventures over the past 12 months ! ........Alas. Can't work our how to get photos off my iPhone onto the blog :/ here's hoping I can sort it - or next time snuggle up with my laptop instead. Sigh. I tried at least. Love to all in blogland. I do miss you. Talk soon Bron xxxxx

Martella

Finally here.
Tone bought the yacht in California USA earlier this year.He had it shipped to Melbourne and then the boys sailed it back across Bass strait.
Lets not record how I felt about that !! :)
Lets just record how they all arrived home safely in the end.
What an adventure!

Fergus the Ferry

Josh loves boats! He must have looked down on us and decided that if he came to our family he would be guaranteed a passage on a yacht trip.Tony is equally mad about boats.
Grandma Ellen bought Josh a book set called "Fergus the Ferry ".Its his bedtime ,anytime favourite and Josh loves to see Fergus out on the river Derwent.
(the Emmalisa ferry )When they sail together Tony and the boys just have to say "chug chug chug whats that sound ?" and Josh replies " Fergus the Ferry on his round !" :)
So we took a lunch cruise on "Fergus " and we loved it!
We all enjoyed huuuge steaks for lunch ( at only $10 per head) I think they may have mucked up the price or it was an awesome child rate.Either way we cant wait to take Dad and Fletch out on Fergus another day.

Ninja

so much fun has been had on good ole Ninja.
Dad and all 5 boys sailed to Barnes Bay on an overnight adventure.
Saturday sail trips and even a friday night race where they all sang" the foolish man too-ook Ninja in the race !" :)
As much as we all love Ninja ,we cant wait till she grows up ! Martella is on her way :)
the pics are all out of order,the first one being of Gil flaked out AFTER the trip to Bruny :) I might work it out one of these days :)
