CHRISTMAS GOODIES!

Just thought that i would show you guys some pictures from Charlii's first Christmas & how very spoilt she was.... A huge Thank-You to everyone that sent us cards, emails, texts, phone calls & pressies. Your thoughts & love made us feel very special.

Check out this gorgeous bikini Charlii got from her Aunty Becca along with this massive pool!!

PROMOTIONS!

I would just like to say a HUGE congratulations to Clint, he is now the Security Supervisor of 2 shopping centres here in Melbourne. He has already taken over the role & is working his bum off.

Everyday he is doing about 16hrs, so yes we haven't seen each other very much at all lately, but it's ok because after New Years he will be home more nights.
I am very proud of him & i hope all goes really well for him! :):):)

ALREADY OVER

Christmas is over once again for another year. All that stress leading up to it & before you know it it's boxing day & your still trying to clean up from Christmas day.
We had such a lovely day, it has been years since the whole family has been together for christmas. Charlii woke us up at about 7:30 & surprisingly Taylor & Madii were still in bed! Poppy was getting impatient so he was purposely trying to make noise so they would wake up...i think he was more excited than the kids. At about 8am everyone was up & it was time to attack the mountain of pressies under the tree.
Charlii had a ball of a time watching the wrapping paper flying everywhere & for her first christmas she had lots of fun.
I will put on some photos a bit later as i haven't put them on the computer yet.
Once all the unwrapping was done Kade decided to jump in the kitchen & make Bacon & Egg sandwiches & of course i didn't feel bad eating them as it was christmas day & your supposed to eat way too much.

Lunch was over before we knew it & before long we were all veging out on the couch complaining that we couldn't fit in another bite! A couple of games of poker & "Buzz" on the playstation was our afternoon & it was great. For Charlii's first Christmas & our first Christmas with the whole family in a long time it was fantastic.

I hope everyone had a very happy christmas & got everything they wished for!

ROBBIE WILLIAMS!

How excited am i!!!!
On Sunday night Clint, Bec & i went to see Robbie Williams live at the Telstra Dome & it was fantastic! Our day started at about 3pm when we took Charlii to stay at mum & dad's as they were babysitting for us. We then headed into the city & took ourselves off to the Crown Casino. We had a bit of a play on the pokies (lost all our money by the way) then went off to have a bit of a nosh before the concert. Time just flew by & before i knew it, it was already time to meet Bec. As soon as we all caught up we headed off on the trek to the concert. We didn't really know how to get there but we just followed the crowd & we were there before we knew it. Time passed quicker as Bec & i were gass-bagging the whole way...poor Clint he had to put up listening to us two. hehe
As we got outside the stadium there were people everywhere! it's amazing just how many people go to see just one man! There was a total of 64,000 there...crazy!
Anyway we started walking around the stadium to gate 14 where we had to enter. So we were walking & walking for what seemed like ages & strangely we ended up back at gate 1??? How did we miss gate 14?? Well silly, blonde me didn't read the tickets properly...haha. it said we needed to go to AISLE 14 & enter ANY GATE! Oh boy did i cop it from Clint & Bec....silly blonde Laura.

So finally we made it inside & got into our seats.....i just couldn't wait. We had really fantastic seats & we could see everything so that made it even better.
It came to 7:30 & the support band "Sneaky Sound System" came on. That past an hour until Robbie came on.
The at 8:50 on the dot Robbie appeared! The whole show was fantastic.
I am a bit sore today though from singing & dancing so much....it was so worth it though. Even Clint enjoyed it!!!
He was on for about 2 hours & gave a unbelievable performance of Angels.
Then all pumped up we headed home.
So a very happy laura signing off..................

CRAZY TIMES!!

Oh my gosh....now i know why they call it the silly time of year!! Everyone is mad!

Mum, Charlii & I went shopping the other day to get some final Christmas presents to buy & at 10:30 the carpark was full & full of cars just driving around looking! There was six levels & we found ourselves battling for a spot on every level....finally we found one right next to the entrance..score!

Once we got inside it wasn't too bad but 3 hours passed & it started getting busy. People are just so ruthless at Christmas time, running around trying to find bargains & walking out with such big presents you wonder how they will ever fit them into their cars!

It was really good though, i ended up buying 2 dresses. One for Christmas day & one for NYE. Which in itself is quite a miracle as since Charlii was born i have been having really bad issues with my weight. I know i have lost a lot since the birth but i am no-where near what i used to be & never will be again but it is just really hard sometimes.

I am on anti-depressants now & since i have been taking those i have been feeling a lot better & was happy when i could find not only 1 dress but 2!

One is strapless with black & white flowers all over it with some black tulle underneath & the other is a plain black halter dress.....very slimming i might add. So i am very excited about wearing them & looking fabulous :)

Clint came home the other day with the exciting news that he has made Supervisor of Security at his work!!

He has only been there 2 months & is still not off his probation period but already they want him to run the show......i am so proud of him. He starts that in January & already he has been looking at ways of doing the roster, making himself a list of things that need to change & deciding on what team he wants to have working with him! He will be great at it, just so damn determined.

As Christmas is coming up Clint & I decided that we would decorate the house with Christmas lights.....well i decided & made CLint help me...hahaha


We have put stars up, coloured lights in the garden & flashing handing lights all over the house & it looks really nice. We had some competition across the road as they saw us putting ours up & immediately the next day they went out & put some up. Clint also bought some Solar Lights for the driveway so ppl can see where they are walking at night & we had them out there 1 night & they were stolen! Can you believe that, 4 solar lights!

We were really annoyed as the ppl across the street (the one's with the lights) have had solar lights for ages now & theirs have never been stolen so why ours? It's all a little bit fishy if you ask me...ah well, let's hope the ppl that took them really needed them.

Charlii is doing really well, growing at a rate of knots & getting ever so cheeky. If we put her down for a nap she spits her dummy out, starts crying until we come back to put it in! Then when we get there she starts laughing as if to say haha, i tricked ya! Cheeky bugger.
