Chicken Pox

It turned out that Abby got chicken pox. She was just not acting like herself and she kept putting her hands in her mouth so I thought she was teething. Then she got spots all over her. At the end of the day Brady said his mouth was hurting and sure enough spots started showing up all over him. They really haven't been that bad its just the ones in the mouth that caused the most problems. They are both doing much better. Brady will go back to school tomorrow. We have all been stuck in the house, but they do a good job staying busy and entertained themselves.

Trav's Birthday

Saturday was Travis's Birthday the kids got up and gave him his gifts and we decided to go to the beach. It was such a nice Spring day the kids found shells and jumped off a ledge into the sand. Abby loved seeing all the dogs,the beach we went to has a section were the dogs can get in and swim and she loved watching them. We went and got some dinner and had apple pie and ice cream for his birthday cake. It turned out to be a nice day

Fathers Day

Yesterday was Fathers Day in Australia. The boys got up early and made breakfast for Travis. Brady's school had a Fathers Day stall so he got him a clock for is desk and a pocket board game. The kids also each pick out a tie for him. We had a very nice day hang out as a family. Below is a slideshow of many of the adventures we went on over the past year. Travis thanks for being such a fun Dad we love you!!!

Fathers Day

Friday night Travis took the boys to see an Australian Rules Football game also known as "Footy". They had so much fun!!! The team they are now cheering for is the Hawks but they don't say cheer here they say "bareck". It is playoff time here and the Hawks are in the playoffs. Travis and the kids are really getting into it, it's hard not to because Aussies love their Footy.

Blake got a Hawk stuffed animal and Brady got a hand clapper that is so loud. They were so excited when they got home at 11:30 Friday night it took awhile for them to settle down enough to go to bed.

Brady Swimming

Brady's been having swimming lessons everyday for the past two weeks with his school. Every afternoon they take a bus to the pool for an hour swimming lesson. Brady has loved it, and has had a lot of fun with his friends. They have focus mostly on pool safety so they will be ready for the summer.
Today was the last day so they let all the kids go in the wave pool. Brady thought it was the best. Travis has taken him to the wave pool lots of times but he has never been in as far has he did today. "It was awesome."
Heading back to school
