Cake-makin......

I've started on Jade's cake.... made the ginger bread bedheads last night..... (she wants a Toy Story Cake..... so here's hoping it turns out ok)

making the dough....

in the tray - ready to go into the oven....

two completed bedends.....

(ok - they don't look like anything yet.... making the cakes after work today)

Monday - bye bye Smack :(

Smack had to head back to Tassie today.... was sad to see him go - but was a fantastic weekend... and only 8.5 weeks til we see him again - so I can deal with that :)

Sunday Trials Ride with Smack....

8am Sunday morning - we were already out at Deep Creek to go trials riding....

the trials property.... Dad's busy going around to pump everyone's tyres to the correct pressures...

the boys getting kitted up.... (although - calling these two "the boys" would insinuate that there were things other than boys out there.... and well - I was the only female....)

by 9:30am - it was all over for me... I managed to break off my Valve stem.... so psssssss down went the tyre....

I got my camera and headed down to the creek to get pics of the boys riding.....

Had to get a pic of Smack and I :)

and a pic of Wobz and I :)

Wobz and Smack

Frank, Rob & Smack

Dad

Smack (again)

Frank doing his thang....

typical Mac pose....

Smack lent me the bike he'd been riding

(Rob's 315) - so I took it for a ride....

and nearly flipped it - but I did control the wheelie

(that was coming up a hill - but you can't see it in the pic)

Greg Paton

Mac Hosking

Dad took David's bike for a ride...

(They were all bike hopping all day)

Smack pose again....

Dad busy chatting....

Frank...

We don't need to go to Sydney to play in dust storms... we can make our own..... just ask smack!

Smack, Dad, Greg & Frank watching David ride up the hill....

Mac, Smack, Dad & Greg

David

Mac doing what he does best... sliding down hills....

Frank jumping up the top of the hill.....

Smack doing the wheelie up the hill....

Then I got to ride Frank's bike... that was interesting... 4 stroke... wasn't too bad.. rode it for nearly an hour I think before we packed up to head home...

Rob loading the bikes to head home....

Smack hit a tree and grazed his arm....

When we got home, we picked up the kids.. then Jade felt she had to catch up on some smack time and snuggled up to watch TV with him....

Smack loves her as much as she loves him :)

Sunday night Mom and Dad came over to deliver Jade's "Insect" Biscuits... she'd made Anzac Biscuits with mom while we were off riding... so they brought some over for her.... naturally she wanted to eat them when they were delivered - but it was bed time - so she had to wait til morning....

Frank dropped over too.... then when it was time for them to leave smack and I drove the bikes over to their place as Dad was going to arrange to have my front tyre sorted.... which was all done today.. Yay!!!

Then we came home and watched The Big Bang Theory and then spent the night chatting... it was a great night... and managed to stay up past midnight... yay me!

Saturday Road Ride with Smack....

Smack arrived at lunchtime on Friday... we had a good relaxing afternoon and then picked up Jade from daycare once Blake woke... then we headed to Mom and Dad's place to drink their tea before heading home again.....

Saturday morning we were up bright and early... and ready to head out on the bikes by just after 8am.... we took off - filled up and got going - and managed to lose Frank... we weren't sure which way he'd gone - so we went touring town a bit first... turns out - he'd gone the way he was supposed to - had just managed to get ahead of us - and stopped out of sight.....

so, with all the time wasted there, we didn't manage to do the Coal Road before lunch..... we got to Biloela and went to ask Rob's Mobil people where was the best place for lunch - and we ended up at the RSL....

Straight to the PS2 games... (oh, and of course rob was just SHOWING jade how to do it! ehe)

Frank, Dad & Mom sitting around waiting for everyone to work out what they wanted for lunch....

Smack! :)

Dad...

Mom...

Jade and Smack fighting over the food buzzy thing.....

(Jade loves Smack to bits!)

Frank...

Blake was busy off exploring the place... and he loved the stairs... nicely covered in carpet - they were much more fun to play on than Gran's... and a lot softer if he decided to fall down them... (not that he fell at all)

The first pic of the bikes... I'd been hoping to get pics when we started riding (oh yeah, and maybe a pic of me to prove that I rode too... but you'll just have to take my word for it...)

On the way out - I rode my storm and smack rode the trumpy....

At the change up - Rob got his trumpy - and Smack rode my storm...

Smack and the Storm...

Dad and his Beemer...

Frank on his Trixie...

Rob all kitted up to head off after lunch....

Now, when you have someone visit you, you generally end up staying up late (as long as you don't have a baby waking every 5mins) - you stay up late and chat... but Saturday night - we were ALL in bed and asleep by 8pm.... it was really sad! we were all SO buggered!!! (plus we had to be up early Sunday morning to head out on the trials bikes!)
