fun week with nikki + joshy

not the best photo but still fun capturing the moment, i know its been ages since i posted anything and it has been a busy month, my very dear friend nikki and her little joshy came over from nz for a week
and boy what fun it was, i've known nikki since i was 15 we {blondie in the middle} worked together hairdressing and have such fond memories.......
it is so nice having friends who have known you for years, they know the ends and outs the sad and happy and i feel very blessed and enriched having her as a friend and in my life...
i txt her 3 weeks before she came saying i missed her next minute {nek minute} she had tickets booked
{like i said very blessed}.......

we were so so happy our little boys zeke + joshy hit it off straight away, holding hands at the airport, we were both pregnant at the same time and i think they are 1-2 weeks apart
some fun things we did

* day trip to flinders + red hill
* chadstone shopping day
* mornington markets
* dinner with the girls kate, bron + vik
* walk to the beach down the pier
* boys had a play date at the play centre
* got inspired by nikki cooking
* had a sussie home maker day {nikki made soup, cake etc}
* had a dvd day with the boys {a chillax}
* had a lovely lunch at berkley nursery
* introduced nikki to my fav shop {T2}
* drove down the amazing arthers seat

here are a few snaps of the boys playing too
i've finally got a new computer so i should be up and running a bit more, but have to admit i'm just enjoying life and at the moment have my grandad and dad + mum from nz for just over 2 weeks so i'm sure i'll have photos to share......
i truly hope your all well and loving life too, thanks for the comments and taking the time
to flick through this little blog.......
