BB Bear at the Beach!

BB Bear loved the beach! This was our spot where we camped out for the afternoon. We love our $10 umbrella we had shipped over from America! It was the biggest and best on the beach...just like everything from Texas should be!
















A sweet kiss for my sweet hubby!



Adeline getting ready to throw a tantrum...watch out for the flying toys!





The creek that flows into the ocean. Adeline loves to play in it.





We showed BB Bear the surrounding scenary. Pretty mountains and cows!







He loved the beach!!!




Adeline was showing him a good time.






She thought he couldn't swim so she moved him just in case a wave caught him.











Sunbaking.



















Building a sand castle together.











Adeline loves BB Bear and loves to give him kisses.


























Surfing!








Stay tuned for more BB Bear Adventures!

Welcome to Australia Stow-Away!

As we were unpacking we were suprised to have a very special friend of Brians pop out of one of the boxes. BB Bear!!!! Yay! He had quite a long trip traveling by sea for 6 weeks. He enjoyed having a good bite to eat prepared by Adeline before deciding to relax by the pool.

Well, we are going to show this stow-away a good time before returning him to Uncle Bubby. Stay tuned for more adventures of BB Bear!

Happy Birthday Uncle Bubby!

A tribute to our Uncle Bubby.....

Happy Birthday Brian! Turning 33 must be hard. Luckily I have 3 more years till I get there! Our family in Australia wanted to wish you a huge Happy Birthday and tell you that we are so happy to be seeing you soon. We love you and miss you so much!

We also wanted to give you a special birthday present...... It starts off like this....

Unbenounced to us, we had a stow-away very dear to you join us here in Australia. You will see a series of blogs over the next few weeks of his visit here before we escort him back to America...yet again as a stow-away in our suitcases.

We hope you enjoy your birthday and our special gift to you that only those very close to you would understand.

Stay tuned!!!

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Adeline had a fun day in the rainy weather. She got to ride her new tricycle under the verandah. Thank you Grandpa John for the tricycle!




This King Parrot shown below wouldn't leave us be and Guiness kept chasing it away!







The bird dive bombed Adeline and landed on this perch above her head.







Happy New Year!

We spent New Years Eve at the beach with Grandpa John. Adeline and John had lots of fun looking at starfish and other fun sea creatures. Daniel and I enjoyed some time alone!
