We brought in with 4 other people... really good friends of ours... one of which is a trainer and the other is a former Jockey!!!!

So with out further a do....... here are the NEW members of our family...lol... and im am already so in love with my babies....

First is " Flashy Dancer"... she has run only a couple of races... coming third place in one of those.... She doesnt have a stable name as yet... i know ...but we have been calling her "HORSE"... sad hay....lol....

And like me she hates having her picture taken... this is the best one i have so far....lol...

and next i would like you all to met... the baby...our BIG boy....

Who doesnt have a name yet!!!...lol.... But his stable name is "SULLY" ( as of yesterday anyway). Sully is only 3 years old and he is such a BIG boy.... He has never had a run as yet but is fully trained.. and oh soo sweet!!!

Cant wait until we all sit down and pick his racing name!!!....

So there you go my new babies....lol....

Finally Sharing!!!!

Hello blogger friends it been a few days but boy have i been super busy!!!! First I had my first ever job taking photos on Saturday night... I am so excited!!... I took photos at a joint 60th birthday party... What a great night and i am so happy with how my shots have turned out!!... I was so worried about the whole lighting thing but all is good!!

I haven't had a chance to edit my photos yet so i will share very soon!!!!

Then on Sunday we all piled into the car and head out to do some much needed furniture shopping...lol... A lot of you may not know we have been living without a dining table for 12 months now and we also wanted to get a new low line tv unit for the new TV.......

We ended up getting...lol.... the tv unit, square dining table ( which i just love), a Kitchen hutch thingy and a matching coffee table ( one of those box ones with the drawers).... Yes we went a little over what we wanted to spend by hay now we have a house full of furniture!!!!....

Well not yet its all getting delivered to the new place next Tuesday!!!

Specking of that... only one week ( to the day) when we settle!!!!... and still haven't finished my packing....lol... but i will do it!!!

Tomorrow we do the finial inspection and we are also taking the painter in so he can give us a quote.. he is going to paint next Wednesday!!!... busy busy busy let me tell you!!!

I m going to do feature walls in the living areas, Keenans room and Jorja's room and one in our bedroom. I went to bunnings yesterday and picked out all my colors!!..... will share photos when its all done... The painter is also covering up this very very ugly RED wall in the kitchen... not nice at all!!!!

We wont be "moving" in next Tuesday, we are going to take the week to slowly get in as Mark is at work all week, So Dad is coming up on Sunday (next) to move all the big stuff!!!

We dont have to be out of our rental until the 20th.. so heaps off time to move everything over ( i hope)
