Mandy's Birthday Braai

It was my birthday Thursday last week, and my son Richard is currently 

living in Durban in he's girlfriend's parents home, and looking for

a job down there.  So on Thursday night I just got some cake,

and a couple of friends popped in for cake and not

 expecting Richard to come up, but did have a little inkling

of suspision that he may just come up for the weekend but not really expecting him.

Plane tickets and bus tickets are quite costly....

And....the next thing, who walks in the door.............Yes, Richard,

Well that was such an AWSOME surprise and best birthday present ever.

Off course some others knew that he was coming except me.

Then on Friday night when I get home and walk into the house,

guess who's there, Cheyne, Richard's girlfriend,

She also flew up to spend my birthday with me

very very special....

So, at the last minute I

decided to have a few friends over for a braai on saturday.

Cheyna and her parents bought me a drinking game called

"Drunken Tower" for my birthday.  Thanks very much guys,

I really appreciate it.

We played Druken Tower on saturday night and had

sooooooo much fun and a good few laughs.

Gillian, as always, very difficult to get a normal pic of her..

JACCUZZI BUBBLE FUN

One of our best friends invited us around for a burger Braai

last Saturday, that's it, "A Burger Braai"...nothing else....

oh, they said they have put the Jaccuzzi on, we should bring our

costumes and we can chill in the Jaccuzzi....very nice, great idea....

WELL  WELLL.......We kinda forgot that our men have not yet

quite grown up, as yet...... We soon remembered when Riaan

threw almost half a bottle of Bubble bath into the Jaccuzzi.....

Sooo, if you can't beat them, join them.....see below...

It was loads of fun, and too much wine in the end...but good fun....

Melanie, Dirk, Mandy, Gillian and Megan and I think

that's Shauns nose sticking out there...

Can you see, that the bubbles are no longer only INSIDE the

Jaccuzzi, but on the outside of the Jaccuzzi aswell

the Girls....splashing bubbles

Dirk and Riaan

CHEERS.....to a real good bath time...LOL

As you can see, the bubbles were already going out the door

WALK THE TABLE

Norman, a very good friend, had this table

that he didn't want anymore, and gave it to us.

But this table is very big, and we needed to move

this table from Normans house to our house.

so, we decided to have a "walk the table" day...

fortuantely we only live one block away from each other...

So it wasn't to far, +- 1km....

So I got all the boys together Saturday morning, 8h00.

And off we went to Norman's.....

One of Norman's new puppies, Sheba, trying to

get a kiss out of Percy

Couldnt get a kiss from Percy, so now trying to

get a kiss from Donovan

Richard, Donovan, Sheba and Sam

Gillian, Justin and Kaylin

My three boys, Justin, Richard and Donovan

Uh Oh, See no evil, Hear no evil and

Speak no Evil.....

Gillian and Kaylin

Percy and Norman, loosening the bolts to

remove the table top, because it was

too heavy to carry with the top on...

Still loosening nuts

Percy, Riaan, Norman and Jacque

Puzzle Building

Richard took he's puzzle out, but with a purpose,

decided to do it on the dining room table and leave it there,

with the intention, that, everytime someone walked past

they would put a couple of pieces together.

And it worked, no one could walk past without trying to put a few pieces together............

Shaun, Melanie and Percy building the puzzle

We had a power failure, this is Richard

building he's puzzle by lamp light

and the next day, Gillian got stuck into the puzzle
