TWENTY TWENTY FIVE.....2025

Well hello 2025...... We have had a wonderful time since Christmas! We had a quiet Christmas day with my Mum and Dad, Robbie and Emma and Bruce and myself...In the evening Will and Cill joined us when Will finished work... Boxing day we headed to Robbies place at Buderim where Alanah and family and Cassie and family met us....

These 3 still play up when they get together hahahaha Lots of swimming with the grandkids, trip to the beach and just spending time togeather making memories...

Such a good start to the year with some off the kids.....Then it was out to Gundy to spend time with Jessica and family..You know you have had a good time when you are busy and forget to take photos. I really am the worst at picture taking as I get caught up in the moment....

After Gundy we headed to Brisbane to spend time with Alanah and Shane in there new house....All up we did 1220 kms since boxing day.... It was a time to rest, swim, read, walk and laugh lots of laughter.....

It is always good to be home though....We are looking forward to this year aheadI hope you are too... Mandy

Hello Blog world it has been a while...

Things have been very busy around here since March.

Chloe and Damien had a new baby girl, it was not an easy time for their family.

Maddison Mercia Sutton 

was born very tiny and very early but also very perfect.

On the 22nd March

We refer to Maddison as our miracle baby..

Chloe now has 1 boy and 2 girls.

 Maddy is doing so well and is now 4 months old....

Her cousin wasn't far behind her.

Thomas Cameron Lawton

was born on the 

9th May

That makes 2 boys for Alanah

He is perfect and so cute.

Not easy keeping up with all these babies that's for sure....

Cassie turned 21 this year

and we had a great country party for her out at Glenmorgan.

I am so proud of the beautiful woman that she is growing into....

and you guessed it....

Grand-baby No 11 due in September...

Phoebe turned 1 in June

That year has gone so fast.....

David and family were down here for Phoebe's birthday

 which was a real treat for us.

I know I am so blessed to have such a large healthy happy family

God is good.

Where have I been the last 6 weeks

Not home...

The last 6 weeks has seen me out and about

a lot.

First I spent a couple of days with my Mum.

We went to the open gardens in Maleny. This was a feast for a gardeners eyes.

All these photos were taken in the one garden, after that I was so busy looking I forgot to take some photos.

Then we headed out to visit the girls out west.

First a overnight stop at Alanah & Cams in Dalby

And Charlie of course...This one is so cheeky, and look at those 

Blue eyes..

Then we moved on to Glen Morgan to Cassie and Ben's...

To what is my dream house....hahah.

We took over Ben's saddle making studio.

To the scapbooking studio... I took all my supplies out and Cassie and I had a great time getting some much needed scrapbooking done. I just happened to leave it all out there when I left, guess I will have to go back.

We got the old wood stove working as it was cold and wet out there.

I taught Cassie how to cook on the stove and it has been going since..

 Love these old stoves for cooking.

Jessica came for a visit to Cassie's as well.

Henry

Henry is growing so fast as are the girls.

Abby

Abby and Grace doing some painting like there Mum.

Grace

Hid and seek is always a favorite game with Uncle Will in the old homestead as there is so many places to hide.

Hide & seek

 Soon it was time to say goodbye to Cassie and head back home.

Another stop at Dalby on the way home for a couple of nights.

Charlie

Morning cuddles 

then back home for a little while...

Before long I got the phone call 

That number 8 grand child was here...

William & David

But you will have to wait to meet her until the next post.

Blessings
