Flash, Raven, Boop and Bee xxxx

We recently had to say goodbye to Peanut and Shrimples cousins and Aunt and Uncle (my brother).

They are moving to the other side of Australia and I wish them the best we don’t get to see them much any way being a 5 hour drive from each other but when the cuz’z get together it’s a blast. My brother Flash, is a hands on dad with his girls Boop (5) and Bee ( 3).  He runs after the kids lets them climb all over him and is genuinely hilarious to all children they love him always have. He is the dad at the park making all the kids laugh by playing the fool. Peanut usually takes a while to warm to people but Flash and Raven( my sister in law) have a way of cracking through Peanuts shell pretty darn fast.

So all the kids run around having a ball being eaten by monsters and dinosaurs and using up all their energy and imagination, we all get involved. We had a really great day but it was an emotional good bye (we are the sort of family they don’t need to live anywhere near each other to still be close) recently Flash and Raven have been having a not so great time. Flash damaged his ankle on the job over 4 years ago and its been pretty stressful on them all he has been the stay at home dad with the girls and doing some odd jobs here and there and Raven has been the main earner. Raven was offered a job over in Canberra and it was too good to miss out on. 

On friday the 13^th (yep I know bad luck and all) two weeks before moving they found out Raven had Cancer yep the dreaded C word, Crappy crappy crapy ole Cancer. Raven had surgery on friday (for the second time in a few weeks) and will start on radiation therapy once they move to Canberra.

 It all looks like its going to turn out okay but its been a rough ride for them.

I guess this post of my way of acknowledging them and letting them know how proud of them I am. They just keep fighting and striving for the future with their amazing girls. 

Both Boop and Bee have hearts of gold, are really smart and incredibly beautiful and I know they will grown into amazing strong women. Xxxx 

Dear Diary.... No just kidding

Im not really super sure where to start but this blog is about our life together as a family so I guess I should start with when  I "madame pomfrit" met "backpacker". He was handsome I was skinnier than I am now. He had more hair I had less. We hit it off and he moved in VERY VERY soon. 



Then we moved back to the UK Got a house had wonderful promising careers and gave it all away for PEANUT!, aggh peanut the love of my life Mr was born Jan 2008 and was the perfect pumpkin headed baby! Later that year, very soon after Peanut came we found out Shrimples was on his way too! 


We packed up moved back to good old Perth Western Australia and Shrimples my little pudding was born in March 2009, Shrimples how should I put this? Well he was an UGLY BABY! really ugly really not handsome at all born in 11 minutes at 9 pound he was big !! whooa was he big and he had a face like an old german man that had just smelt Gorgonzola. Thank god he has grown into that face and now we have two of the most handsome boys in the WORLD!! yep apart from peanuts "sponge bob" like teeth and shrimples plank nose. 
I think we did pretty good.

That brings us to now mid 2012. Shrimples is 3 and currently on the waitlist to get a diagnoses of "pain in the butt syndrome" and Peanut is 4 and next month goes for an "autism assessment". Backpacker is going great guns at work well respected and starting out on his own soon ready to make me some big bucks!And me well Im a mum or should I say "MOM" cause its one of the hardest jobs in the world NOT! cough cough if it was would I have time to blog heheh hell no!  


Come back sometime and I will fill you all in on our life its going to be so exciting you will wonder how on earth you lived without me!
