Christmas In Sydney 2011....

For Christmas This year we decided to go to Sydney to spend the awsome day of Christmas with Shannons sisters. This was also the Girls and I first time meeting them! We couldn't wait and they also couldn't wait! Especially to cuddle little Miss Koda :) Everyone was in love with her calling her a little doll, which she totally is!!!! Nizhoni Loved getting along with her cousins! She wasn't shy at all and just made her self at home which is normal for Nizhoni! She knows how to entertain her self for sure, and that involves a lot of touching things shes not aloud to touch. She was also a little bully!! If she didn't get her own way she would hit, punch or pinch! Very naughty! Have no idea where she's getting that naughty behavior from, but i do think I know who it might be. Her cousin Ephraim goes to day care...(that pretty much says it all!!!) Anyways besides the Punching & Pinching we all still had a good time! :) Sydney in my personal opinion is very fast past (There driving is mental!!!!) And the suburb we were in was old and yuk! A lot of snobs who wouldn't smile back when i gave a friendly smile :( ....Didn't like the area at all!!!! So glad to be living in QLD! WE ROCK!!!!! :) Here are some snaps of the gifts my daughters received and of her cousins....Merry Christmas And have a Happy NEW YEAR! Love ME!

At Brisbane Domestic Airport, Ready to Board :)

Christmas Morning :)

Poor Koda Crashed out after opening her Prezzies, She was so tired!

Nizhoni LOVES Dora, And LOVES this toy! :)

The girls gifts, Lucky we were able to fit them all in our suitcases.

Nizhoni's earrings and Necklace (left) Then on the Right Miakoda's Bracelet and earrings! The bracelet has a real diamond which is even MORE special!!!! Spoilt girls!!

My THREE FAVORITES! xxxxxx

Nizhoni With her Sydney Cousins! :)

When we had got back home Daddy had put together what she got from "santa"...She's the biggest climber so this was a very good purchase, she LOVES it and hasn't got sick of it yet, she is consistently climbing up and down up and down, she swings her self on the swing (even knows how to buckle her self in) and sliding down the slides and landing on her bum at the end! I laugh every time, I think that's what makes her continue to do it! hehe Oh how I love Christmas :) xxxx

Another Milestone...

Nizhoni Now sleeps with her cot rails off her cot!! :) She's done so good these past couple of days by not getting out of bed and coming out! I hope she continues to keep this up! What a good girl! It was easier then I had imagined it to be! :) Another milestone and I'm so very proud, and of course there needs to be pictures of her sleeping and being a "big" girl now! It's my little way of celebrating! :) Love you my girl, Daddy will be just as proud, maybe Santa will get you a proper "big" girls bed for Chirstmas. We will just have to wait and see! ;)

What a blessing! xxx

She got closer to the edge and was a bit worried she would fall (but she didn't, thank god) :)

 This photo below is from today having her arvo nap, and the two first ones are from yesterday! :)

Her Teddy she cannot live without, was her hospital teddy from daddy! How cute!
Daddy comes home Tuesday then were off to Sydney to meet all my other cousins, Auntys & Uncles and to spend Christmas day with them! Us girls can't WAIT!! :) xxxxxx

Amazed!

I Am AMAZED at how good Nizhoni is at climbing! Its Sometime scary and could really hurt herself if she ever did fall (thank god she hasn't YET)! I can see her being in a Circus one day...or maybe even the Olympics!!!!!! This althetic side of her is from both Shannon and I...Makes me wonder what little Miakoda will be good at?? hehe  Here's a common one she does, has been for about 5 months now! Shes's got it down pat! She's maybe the boy I'll never have??? Hmmm i wonder!?

Steady my girl...

Wowww

LOL giving me the "Pifffttt This is way tooo easy mum!!"

Beached As Bro!

On the 27th of Nov, my sister and I took our kiddiewinks to the BEACH! They Loved!! It was Miakodas First time beaching it! And she didnt mind the cold water at ALL! Actually the water wasn't cold it was more on the warmer side which was even better because Nizhoni being her sensitive self LOVED IT for the FIRST time Ever!! :) It was such a great day we could have spent allll day there but our toddlers need there daily naps! (boo!) But what a day we had! xxxx

Nizhoni Enjoying a Swing with her Cousins..

Koda Girl Having a dip..

Koda Then was put back in her pram where she just fell asleep for the rest of our time there :)

Hehe wasn't planning on going in the water so there fore  i had no swimming gear for me and Miakoda..didn't stop us from having FUN though! :)

Ephraim Enjoying the Beach Nude! He spent all day like that and didnt get burnt AT ALL!! Must be in his blood! :)

And again!

More proof!! :) After a bath in front of cartoons with her cousin(Leemyshai) she again drifts off! :) (Don't mind the fake tattoo on my nieces nose) How peaceful, just looking at these pictures makes me want to sleep myself right NOW! hehe Good night bloggers! :)

Easy as!

This is just my baby girl being the perfect little girl she is!!! She's so content its not funny, once she's been fed and had a lil cuddle she's fine to put down...while she was talking to herself she just nodded off...She does this almost allll the time, ITS GREAT!!! She just soooooo easy!!! As I've said before she makes looking after her hyper active sister a lot easier to look after! :) Here's a couple of pics of her in the play pen, keeping safe from un-trustable toddlers..hehe

First bath together!

They both adore each other! Nizhoni Loves her and is always wanting to cuddle, kiss and pick her up! So adorable to watch! :)

Look at those dark blue eyes!!

Dont she just make you smile just by looking at her!!!

Saying
"cheeeeeeeese"

Hehe my Munchkin

Nizhoni giving me her Nizhoni look

Check out that light hair!! 

  

 

You notice Miakoda is wearing these beads around her neck...Here's the website if your want more info, http://www.myamberbaby.com/My-Amber-Baby-Products.html   all mothers have sworn by them! They really do work! Need to get Nizhoni one maybe it will settle her sensitive self! Have a read its really interesting how powerful these amber beads are! :) No need for Panadol or Nurofen, these beads do the job! I have a friend who's baby has had amber beads on for a couple months now and he's cut three moulders with out even knowing!! How amazing, an not only do they work for just teething, they help with whole range of things. Really do have a read!! :) They come in pretty colors too! Ordering some this week! :)

Having fun!!

Since I'm staying at my sisters while both our men are away at work, we and the kids have been having the best of times! So I've been too busy "Having fun!" to blog anything but I will once her computer has had it's clean up and defragment :) Nizhoni is loving playing with her cousins! Especially her cousin Ephraim which is 2 months younger than her! I'm sure they will be the closest even though they are constantly pushing smacking etc etc all the time! Hehe no matter how much we tell them not too, they don't want to listen! I'm sure they will get the point one day soon! (I hope so!) Miakoda is still her content little self! She makes life looking after her hyper active big sister Nizhoni soo much easier to look after! Miakoda is just happy being herself swinging in her rocker as long as she fed and full! Not unless she wants cuddles,which is pretty much all the time! I have to watch my self with that because I find my self cuddling her almost all the time, while she drifts off to sleep pretty much straight away! But I can't help but love it because Nizhoni was total opposite and hated being touched and most of all cuddled! And still is like that to this day! So that's why I'm absolutely loving her soft loving cuddling personality, and who also gives the best little smiles when ever anyone talks to her! :) she melts my heart just thinking of her! Shes such the perfect little angel! Nizhoni had her first bath with her baby sister! Which I took pictures and will upload once beks computer is up and running fast! :) well off to have some more fun! And cook dinner for our munchkins! :)

Be kind to one another!

Mr Smith

Here's a post about my Partner Shannon, For those who know nothing about. Hes Maori Born in Wanganui, and went to Wanganui Boys Collage and had Moved to Australia- Perth when he was 18! He is currently 33 years of age, he's obsessed with the game called COD (Call of Duty) he owns alllllll there games and absolutely loves playing other online! He Loves the Gym! he's such a gym junkie, as you would be able to tell by his pictures, he went a bit down hill when i had Nizhoni Just because we were so busy looking after her and being first time parents learning how to raise and love our new born baby. But hes back on track and hes doing better then ever! He loves the sports MMA (mixed martial arts) when he moved to Oz he joined up doing BJJ ( Brazilian Ju Jitsu). He Loves it! Me on the other hand don't like it as much, the blood everywhere and other injurys, the Knock outs! Nope not my cuppa tea!!!  His birthday is the 4th of December.He works out in Western Australia- Karratha as a Scaffolder...He never always had this job...we both decided when I was pregnant with Nizhoni that we wanted her (and other future babies) to have the best start in life, so out to the mines he went to work hard and provide us. He could have stayed here in Brisbane to work but we both knew we would have been struggling a little bit,  being on a really tight budget. Which we really didn't want to have in our lives worrying about Money all the time! It's a massive sacrifice since not being able to see his baby girls for 4 weeks at a time. I say my daily prayers I stay positive, and also having Faith keeps Shannon and I staying strong everyday! If it wasn't for him we all wouldn't have Health insurance, My Family car (Kia 4wd, that I'm in LOVE with!!) , The girls wouldn't have there bank accounts that we had set up for there future, We wouldn't be Going to Sydney for Christmas...We have a List of goals that were wanting to achieve in 5 years Buying our OWN home! (Or building) Holidays, Putting the girls in Private Schools and Maybe Marriage! :) I've got an exciting Future ahead of me and my Little family! And its all because of Shannon! I love him with all my heart, he's done so much for me and the girls! I'm very proud of him, i miss him everyday! Love you babe! xxxx
