A long time ago....

...and I mean forever ago...the Triffits came to visit us! We did lots of things, but one of the things that I captured on camera was our trip to Port Arthur...The kids found it very educational...especially Oliver...

 ...there were creepy men to have photos with...

 ...places to lock up your children...

 Logs to smash...

 ...and places to lock up the parents too!

 There were also beautiful gardens...

 (Gotta love Oliver and his manbag)

 There were tours to go on....

 History to learn...

 Great mobile phone coverage! Thank GOODNESS because Simone NEVER goes anywhere without checking the phone! We used to sing a song about her when we were little "there was simone, simone, talking on the phone, in the store...in the store..."

 ...more tours...

 Who said Flynn never looks at the camera?!

 ooh there's me!

 Here is Simone posing...

 It's all fun and games until someone loses a LENSE CAP!!

 Searching....searching.... "it's ok we'll get you another one" blah blah blah... (still waiting!)

 Beautiful Sarra...

 Beautiful Hallie...

 Beautiful Boys (Especially when sleeping)...

 ...and Beautiful me, writing this blog post.

end.

Livin' the dream...

So what's been happening in the Bell household since the Honeymoon?....well HEAPS! Here's a couple of things in a nutshell to keep you happy until the next post:)

Emily came to visit!!!

 It was a beautiful clear day up the mountain!

 Isn't she beautiful?!!

Hayden had a Birthday!!...

 He got to wear his party shirt from Fiji...

 ...and we celebrated with a few guests (Cue awkward non-flattering photos)

We also had a visit from a vacuume salesmen... first he tried out our old vacuume

"No, No,No this will not do!" He exclaimed (in a french accent)

"My dear this vacuume is rubbish!"

 "I have to push SO hard just to get ANY dirt of the floor"

 "I'm afraid this one is destined for the bin!"

 "...and you know what?! you should get a DYSON!"

 So we did....

 ..and Hayden hasn't stopped vacuuming since!

Short and sweet:) Hopefully i'll have enough time to do another update soon!
