Frolicking with Fantastic Fiona

Once again...silly iphone pics...HURRY UP AND BRING MY CAMERA BACK ALREADY MUM!! ...ah that's better...been bottling that one up for a few blog posts now!...So apparently it's the international month of friends and family...i don't think i've had a week go by without a visit from someone...but August is drawing to a close now...was capped of nicely last weekend with a visit from FIONA ...She lives in Melbourne now...who would??...
We magaphoned Hobart...made waffles with Ess...Played Touch footy...watched chick flicks...did TWO wards on Sunday...well almost two...made the BEST chocolate cake in the world...attended a ysa fireside on dating and marriage...Made pizza...went out for dessert just before an intense basketball game...prolly not a good idea...went out for tea in North Hobart...and Fiona scored a ride on Marks bike...BUSY BUSY few days!
Miss her already!! COME BACK!!

Marvellous Mel and Munchies...

This is a TERRIBLE iphone pic of me and my bestie Mel at the Oatlands Bakery...She dropped in on her way up to Launny last Thursday for Hot Choccies and a chat...

Mel and I have been buddies since ....forever... we grew up in Launny ward together and I was her roomy on the Convention she met her EC at...We also played each other in High School Tennis...haha...good times! She always beat me!

Mel now lives in Adelaide with her cool as Hubby Pete... I'd love Mel to be back in tassie with us...maybe one day she will return...but for now our little catch ups will have to do!...Love ya Melly;)

Fiona's Fotos

Thanks to the wonders of facebook i've STOLEN these pics off Fiona to add to my last post just so you know I wasn't making it up!! See above...me belting one out for Glenorchy ward... and again below...


I love this next pic...check out my crazy eyes...who does that? A really WELL timed pic Fiona!
Shout out to the Huoners who did an awesome tribute to MJ...with "Man in the Mirror"...Check it out!

After the Choral fest the YSA were hanging out and I decided to have my first drive of a roadbike...so Mark turns it on for me...I sit on it...Freak out remembering that the last bike with a motor I was on was a dirtbike and I went 3 metres and then dropped it...so I turned it off...haha...one day!
It was kinda cold...so the boot of the PARTY jazz was a good place to hang...Evidence of piano playing on Sunday...this MAY have been the 50th rendition of chopsticks or the 51st?
and Bek...actually PLAYING with the Barrell of Monkeys! Yes it did get used...good to see Camilla awake in this one too! haha...

Thanks Fiona...even tho I didn't ask your permission and you're prolly gonna frash me;)

Conference Capers...

This weekend was stake conference weekend for Hobart Stake...must confess it was kindof weird...for starters NO STAKE TALENT NIGHT!! What's with that? Instead a choral fest...I did the northerner name proud and represented in two items!! Second was NO ROAD TRIP to Devo for Saturday night session...no after conference maccas...no singing hymns in the car on the way there...
Third was NO AFTER CONFERENCE PICNIC on the Sunday...ah the blessings of only being 15min from the stake centre I guess...
Because of this I was home kind of early...hm what to do?? Turns out the YSA came over for some games...notice the INTENSITY of the afternoon...Camilla crashes out...Also you may notice the barrell of monkeys in the background...That's for you Jess:) A Sunday Favourite!
Thanks to whoever took that pic of milla cause apart from that I got nothing to show from the event so you'll just have to take my word for it when I say...
We played card games...
...The piano...
Did the Hustle...
Ate Brownies...
...and created some fantastic 'personal jokes'
...The last ysa left by the end of the night were Lewie G and Camberwell so thought we'd get some pics happening for the blog... Take's a little bit to get it right with the iphone...

Shout out to...Jess K, Lisa T, Ness W, Makere D, Camilla M, Fiona C, Bek P, Erin D, Lauren W, Mark D, Hayden B, Campbell K, Michael J, Lewis G for brightening up the afternoon and making the marathon trip out to Brighton..

Elle...one word...POKE!

moshi iwake nai...

I'm just slack...But here is my CRAZY CATCHUP for July/August:)...Cut me some slack tho...my camera is STILL seeing more of the world than me atm...

Firstly= CHECK this out!...I was heading out of the Servo one afternoon and casually looked down...this is what I saw...

Random that I happened to be looking at it and that I was able to take a photo...but Def. Cool enough for me to blog...sad part is...it means my car is getting old!!

Secondly= The BEST ward activity night of the year = East ward bush dance...I have one lame pic to show...me farewelling the band after a great night...this happened AGES ago and i'm sure by now all you blog stalkers have got the goss on the dance from everyone else...so this is my small contribution...

Just like to say Collette & Pie Judging = YES!

THIRDLY= The last few weekends have been CRAZY with Sister invasions! Simone and fam one weekend...then Simone by herself the next....then Lisa the next...

This is Campbell and I showing off the YSA scene down in Hobart...we invited everyone out for tea but everyone was too povo or busy so it ended up being just the three of us...YAY!...The resteraunt rubbed it in by still seating us at a table for 4 AND asking if anyone else was coming...NO!!...

Here's Fred's seat...

Luckily if there is a FREE feed on the YSA are always HEAPS keen...Our very own Pumkin Pie specialist thru a roast on for us all on August Fast Sunday....DELISH!

Some of the guests...

and the Cook extraordinaire...

She was TOTALLY molly...with her slippies...apron and pearl earings...we LOVE u Fiona! Thanks:)

Finally this weekend was the Jess and Kyle invasion...

Did someone say dawky husband? Quote of the week

Collette= Hey poopoo did u make it back ok? Miss u already!! Someone left their toothbrush;)

Jessica= Kyle has like 3 because he always forgets them so just keep it 4 wen we come again

HAHA...Good one Kyle!!

So it's been a ripper FOUR weekends in a row of Sisterly Love...Maybe we are all just missing mum! What the heck am I going to do with myself this weekend??

Thanks Girls...You're the BEST!

Simone= Clean freak

Lisa= Party Animal

Jess= "I'm hungry and tired and i've had a long day"

'till next time:)
