Remember when I posted this photo? Jovi did this when she was about a year and a half old.

I couldn't help, but share her new piece of art. She seriously has major skills.

This is usually what happens every time we go anywhere.

Have you seen the Ginger Bread Man?

We had fun at the Ginger Factory last week. They had a train ride and a boat ride. The boat ride was similar to the ride 'It's a Small World' in Disney Land. Jovi had a blast with her cousins Kane and Jaymz finding the Ginger Bread Man throughout the ride.

Happy Birthday to me!

 Flowers, chocolate cake, a pedicure, cards, a pretty picture, balloons, money, flip flops, jacket...I think I'm set. Ben also took me out to dinner to a new mexican restaurant in Maroochydore called La Fiesta which was delicious! I was sure spoiled. Thank you to everyone for making my Birthday so special.

Our first trip to the beach

AUSTRALIA

Despite the look on Shae's face, they both were really good on the plane.  Shae barely fit into the bassinet they had, but she didn't mind being squished while she slept which saved us from holding her on our laps the whole time.

The girls sure have enjoyed playing with their cousins.

 It hasn't sunk in that we are actually going to be living here for possibly a long time. It feels like we are just on vacation. And who knows, maybe it only will be a vacation. Time will only tell. Well, off to a very busy couple weeks for us. Love and miss you all.

Updates finally...

Shae's first time swinging. She loved every second of it.

Who's bums bigger?

Aunt Ann got Jovi the coolest puzzle ever! It will be perfect to take to Australia with us. Thanks again Ann!

Well, in just a few short days we will be heading to Australia to live. It's been a bit crazy finding renters, moving, selling our car, etc...but we truly have been so blessed. Ben's mom has been great to let us stay at her place this last week and to store all of our things here. Ben and I are both scared, anxious, sad, excited..,but we really feel that this move is what we need to be doing right now. Deep down, I hope we love it and decide to stay, but I know it is going to be hard being so far from my family. I want them all to know how much I love them and that I miss them already. At least there's skype right? Just know that if we do decide to stay for good, we will be sure to visit as much as we can and of course would love visitors as well.=)

Let's Go Fly a Kite!

Grandma Rae got Jovi her very first Cinderella kite. Unfortunately she let it go and Dad wasn't able to catch it in time. It was fun while it lasted.

Good Morning!!

I can't get enough!
