well i have finally managed to get a pic of my ring....from my phone.

The quality of the pic isn't much good so the ring isn't too clear on it.
Its been a month or so since i got engaged and so much has happened since then lol.

We all got very sick with a flu a few weeks ago and poor little ethan on top of his teething got a bad flu and a bad ear infection.

I have discovered why emily sleeps with us sometimes. You see, graeme's mum (my fiance's mum) likes to stay up til really late.... like 1 am. and she refuses to turn the light off (she turns it back on if u turn it off) and then when she finishes watching tv (at say midnight or soon after) she gets pottering around in the kitchen and stuff.

Emily doesn't like a light being on when she is asleep as it disturbs her or she sleeps very lightly. So when the old girl is pottering around making a noise, because the light is on it wakes emily, so as soon as old girl turns off the light and goes to bed, emily runs into our room to sleep with us.

Emily's behaviour is slowly improving (PRAISE THE LORD) as both graeme and i have been punishing her more and more in front of his mum (9 times out of 10 its cos of her that emily is getting into trouble) and the old girl has been picking up on it and not provoking emily into being naughty etc.

Still having a few issues getting her to eat dinner ( more like eat at all) and this is bugging me and graeme both so we are trying to get graeme's mum ( dad too) to stop giving her junk food through the day and we seem not to be having much success with that at the moment so we have told graemes mum that emily is to have no sweets (or savourys) WHATSOEVER until her dinner is eaten, so this includes custards ice creams, biscuits, lollies, chips and all that jazz... mind you i will make an exception for FRESH FRUIT ( not Tinned) as she will get alot of vits and mins from that (tinned stuff is too sweet and chocked full of preservatives).

Went out to dinner and movies last night and it was nice. Cass made me a cocktail and by lord was it strong so i didn't drink it all....3 sips and that was it.... only to be told today that i was suppose to stir it up HAHHAHA i am used to them being mixed in the cocktail shaker ummm der why didnt i think to stir it...stupid me.

Have started on the fat blaster tablets as i havent been getting much exercise lately and i am hoping that they can help me a little cos at 40 bucks they are more costly than my weekly gym membership....

Oh well not much else to say. So here is the pic of my ring:

love to u all

I AM ENGAGED...... OMG OMG OMG.

Hubby took me to the jewellery shop this afternoon and told me to pick out a ring i liked, so i did and he paid for it and i said to him hey whats this for and he is like its your engagement ring! I was so damn shocked.

No date has been set yet. But all i can say is I'M ENGAGED and I HAVEA BEAUTIFUL RING WOOHOO

Love ya all!!!

The lady who i am proud to call my new and much loved mum.

On friday at 11 am, the family and i rocked up at Mum and Dads house for the first time.
It had been a very long wait for us all.... especially my darling emily....

We were greeted with open arms and lots of smiles and soon sat down and started talking.

Emily was fascinated by all the birds and also by the stairs - such fun for her to slide down the steps on her bum lol we dont have stairs at our house you see so it was all new for her.

Mum n dad were very clucky..... mum more so with ethan and well dad just loved taking emily to show her the pond with the big fish in it and the eels.... emily had him wrapped around her little finger in a matter or a few seconds.

We had a lovely BBQ lunch (and dad i must say you are the BEST steak cooker in the WORLD) and also a fwe glasses of chardonnay.... i think i had one too many as i was soon relaxed to the point that i was nearly sleeping in the chair after lunch hahahahahaha.

I felt like i was at home with my family (yes mum n dad i know i was)..... but i felt as though i had known them for yrs!

I can't wait until our next visit and hopefully it will be a for a much longer time, as a few hrs most certainly wasnt enough! So thankyou both for such a wonderful day.

For pics, you can see MUMS BLOG

Love you all...

well it has been almost a month since i have blogged (i know very slack).

Alot has happened in this time. I have moved to my mans house and we are with his parents (well his parents are with us lol). Have had the kids sick etc and been to the doctors about 50 gazillion times lol.

Had ethan go to the paediatrician yesterday to see about all his rash, turns out its a form of excema called saeborhaeic dermatitis or something like that. He cant wear fleecy lined clothes, nor can he be near wool. He must avoid eggs as much as possible (mainly the whites) and have to vacuum with dyson vac everyday and change his cot sheets every second day. he also has to be bathed in special oil or rolled oats in a stocking. his bathwater cant be too hot and he cant have a decent bath time either, as this makes the rash flare right up.

Also, my little man has an innocent heart murmur that needs to be watched very closely, as if it doesnt improve we either have to go to see a childrens heart specialist... and the closest one we have only comes to orange once every 3 months and is very hard to get into or the same bloke in sydney who we can get into pretty much straight away (confused yet?).

I always said my boy would be the child who would spend all my bank balance, and i was right. The GAP (the stuff you cannot claim back off medicare) was ONE HUNDRED BLOODY DOLLARS. I was gobsmacked to say the least lol.

Anyway on a brighter note, both kids are happy n healthy and we are enjoying life.

I am going to be so busy this weekend as i am painting my house and re tiling and linous tiling it to get it ready for a rental valuation so i can get a bit more cash flow,.

Crazy stuff LOL.

Hope all my minti friends are well.

Love Kayla.
