Saturday 1st October....
Happy Birthday to our little monster..... can't believe she's 6 already.... time surely has flown...
Grandma came up from Sydney to spend the weekend with us and to be here for Jade's birthday....
The Birthday Girl...
Opening the first of her presents...
A Digital Video Camera from Grandma
Blake happily sat with Grandma while watching Jade opening presents...
Photo Camera from us...
Snow White dressup...
Power Wing..... the birthday present to end all birthday presents... *grin*
We decided to have a BBQ out at Tannum Sands ... an easy way to spend Jade's birthday....
Blake on the flying fox... This trip was a good one.... the next trip wasn't so fantastic for Blake - at the end - the swing went up and then Blake came down... all by himself... head first, into the ground.... that didn't stop him wanting to go again though....
Frank took him for his next ride down just to make sure he was happy about being back on there...
I think Frank was more nervous than Blake.. eheheh
Jade loves the flying fox....
Cat & Talon
View from the other side...
Talon had a go on the spare strider (which we'd taken with us because a friend bought it off us for their toddler)
Dad
Gran
Angela
Bailey on his scooter and Jade on her new Powerwing....
Bailey then got a go on Jade's Powerwing and Blaze was on his one....
Bailey won the race down the path...
Blaze didn't take the loss too well ... hehe
Jade's got the swinging thing sorted.....
(she was started off by Uncle Frank)

Jade's Birthday cake...
(that was "fun" to ice the night before.... )
Blake was excited about the cake...
It was too windy for Candles - so we just sang happy birthday and Jade waited with the knife to cut it....
The cut...
Blaze doing wheelies on the power wing...
Jordan & Elijah
Jordan giggling as Eli is spun in the spinny chair...
Dad took Jade & Blake for a ride in the trailer....
Declan discovered the cheezles....
Blaze up the "photo tree"
(we get pics of the kids in this tree nearly every time we come out... it makes for some of the best photos)
like this one.....
Bailey up the top of the tree..... (where he lives because he IS a monkey!)
Blake & Declan
Jade hitching a ride on the back
Cheeky monster!

Jade and Eli....
(Eli's is a different style of the same idea.... I can't remember the name of it...)
Declan having his milk
Eli & Jade in the trailer
Poor Talon wasn't well....
(was sick once he got home and then the following day... so he wasn't on top of his game on the day....)
Once we got home, Jade spent the afternoon playing on her power wing on the driveway....
Jade laying with Daddy and playing with her video camera....
How sweet is she??!?!?! :)
My favourite monster
Videoing herself....
and back on the powerwing....
Playing with the microscope from Grandma...
(the kit included some slides for Jade to look at.... it took a bit of fiddling - but Jade and Grandma worked it out - but there was so much new stuff to play with - It hasn't got the attention that I believe it will get in the coming months....)
Playing with the interactive Globe from Gran and Grandpa....
(this lets you check out land mass, national anthems, currency, language etc.... Jade's always been fascinated with Mom and Dad's globe... so this was a necessary gift...)
Jade had a fantastic 6th Birthday.... thanks to everyone who joined us on the day.....
(sorry Mom for not having a pic of you during the day... *hug*)
