David’s 41st Birthday!

This month has been all about celebrating David’s birthday! From the Mornington Hot Springs to Arcade Games, Bowling and Mini Golf! 

This year we spoiled David with a 4 slice toaster, a two door air fryer, a new game for the switch, two new board games including Tipping Point!! Clothes, lollies, a new alarm clock and KFC for dinner! 

David, thank you for your love, support, laughter, and for being such an important part of our lives. We are so grateful for everything you bring to our family, and we couldn’t imagine life without you.

Please join us in wishing a very happy 41st birthday to our David. 

David picked a Dubai Chocolate Mud cake for his birthday this year from the Cheesecake Shop.

And we all enjoyed his birthday playing The game of Life that day, having KFC for dinner and watching Mirrors, a mystery horror with him before bed!

Happy Birthday my Love.

Mornington Hot Springs

Last Monday we finally got to check off experiencing the Mornington Hot Springs as a family.

We packed the car and made the 2 hour journey getting there at around 11am.

The place was absolutely packed!

Once inside we had something to eat before settling in some hot spring baths.

We experienced around 8 of the 50 as most of the pools were at compacity. 

We all did the cold plunge pool too!

Highlights of the day included Nevaeh finding a frog and trying Açai for the first time!

Here are some pics from the day!

David’s Birthday Trilogy

Holey Moley

Ten Pin Bowling

And Arcade Cards!

Last Monday the kids, David and I went to Point Cook Holey Moley for some family fun to celebrate David’s up coming 41st birthday! 

We started with Holey Moley and enjoyed the different themes throughout the venue..

They were all very creative and fun to putt through!

As you can see Nevaeh was our winner, followed by David, then me and then Jie!

Something you may not know about my David is that he bowled competitively before we met and has trophies and medals in Bowling. 

So bowling on his birthday was a lot of fun although none of us stood the chance of winning! Even with bumpers!!

Throughout the game though I loved the way David shared his knowledge giving the kids advice in their last few turns. This part of the day really signified his role in my kids lives as being someone they can learn from and how he always shows up for us through the crucial parts of our lives. 

The boys absolutely dominated us girls even without bumpers but it was slaps and high fives whether we hit or missed!

All that bowling made us thirsty and so we got a drink each and a few selfies before we headed to the arcade! 

We all each had a $25 gaming card and played different games throughout the venue..

I killed some dinosaurs, the boys played air hockey, Nevaeh was addicted to the car racing games and we all spent the last of our money on trying to win a toy from the claw machines..

Overall it was a fun family day out in which we all enjoyed! 

I really love these ages of the kids!

A Rose Garden Kinda Day!

 

On Saturday afternoon David and I picked up his Daughter Bridgette and took her out for a few hours.

We took her to the Victorian Rose Garden in Werribee where she wandered around admiring all the different colours and scents of the roses capturing them on my phone as she went.

Throughout the day let her lead the way down and around the pathways and let her imagination run wild when talking about the different birds and insects she saw throughout the day.

We stopped in the middle of the park where we got some photos of Bridgette with her Daddy and where they could spend some one on one time together.

But it wasn’t too long before Bridgette had many questions for me about her Daddy and sharing little snippets of her life with her brothers.

She spoke about school, a boys, and called her Mum “precious” (which was so beautiful and validated) before asking more questions about Mummy and Daddy in which we answered the best we could for her. 

One of the hot topics of the day was Dogs! Bridgette spoke of her grandmother and the dog dynamics happening at her house. It sounds complicated over there!

Bridgette asked for a photo with me this time and also one of our hands in the shape of a heart.

She asked us to send that one to her Mummy so she could show her in which later that night we did!

We ended the day with a play at the park where we sailed the 7 seas, fought off sea monsters and played shops before going to collect shells on the beach. 

Bridgette said that sometimes her Mum tries to guess where she has been when spending time with us so she took a pocket full of shells and a flower home for clues to help Mum guess where she’d been!

One the way home we learned that Bridgette and her Dad also share a love of sour frozen drinks and skittles so we went past 7/11 before we dropped her home where she could take sour skittles home to share with her big brothers.

She was very excited!

It’s really beautiful to see David and his daughters bond and love and admiration for each other. 

We are already planning something for the next time we see her! 

Our beautiful blue eyed girl 💙

(The reason there are no photos of Bridgette with her Dad and I is because her mother has asked us to not post her face and we respecting her wishes. But we still want to document our special times together on here so that one day we can all look back on them together like I do now that my kids are all growing/grown up)
