Happy Wedding Anniversary Mom and Dad!

On the 8^th of January my mom and dad celebrated their 18^th wedding anniversary! We all went to Jubilee Creek and had a picnic. The littles played in the creek and Kelly and I found a deeper spot to swim in! It was soooo much fun!!!

Mommy and Daddy!

Beth at Jubilee Creek!

Gabrielle swimming in the ‘deep part’

Rebekah just resting in the water!

Kelly and I were very busy before the day making presents for our mom and dad!

We both made them a card and I made a felt heart that said Mom and Dad 18 Years!

My card!

 I made a wire heart and threaded it with beads!

The felt heart

The mosaic wall-hanging!

The other day when my mom was trying to clear the kitchen table she accidently bumped my mug over and it broke, so Kelly and I decided to make a mosaic wall-hanging with the pieces of the mug for their anniversary. We used 3 different wooden heart sizes, organza ribbon, paper roses and beads. I hope you both had a lovely day mom and dad!

Father’s Day!

Last week we enjoyed getting ready to surprise my dad for Father’s Day on Sunday the 19^th of June.

Cookies, coffee and a card!

The little ones helped my mom make chocolate chip cookies for my dad (the cookies were meant to be a surprise but my dad found out!), Kelly made a card and my mom bought a selection of gourmet coffees.  I didn’t know what to do for my dad, so my mom suggested that I make one of my special pictures.  I knew my dad liked the pictures that I had previously made using felt, material, crayons, a fine liner and coloured cardboard, so I made him one on Saturday afternoon.

The picture I made.

Me and my dad.

We made my dad breakfast in bed! It was so much fun preparing the breakfast! We made an omelette with wild mushrooms, cheese and red peppers and on the plate put a garnish with rocket, tomato and parsley. Kelly squeezed lots of oranges by hand for juice, my mom fried some bacon and voila! My dad enjoyed it so much! I can’t wait till next Father’s Day! I love being able to bless other people.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DADDY!!
I LOVE YOU!!
