Agnes Waters and 1770 for Sarah's 30th

At the end of September and beginning of October we went up to a small town called Agnes Water. It is about a 7 hour drive north of us, on the coast, it's a few hours north of Bundaberg. To get there we drove in land, saw a lot of trees, and a lot of gnarly rugged Australian land, even broke down for a bit, but had a good trip. On the way home we went more the coast way, did a bunch of 4 wheel driving and took many scenic routes, (on purpose).
It was an awesome week. Sarah and Shane found a big 2 story house, 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, and a huge deck. It was a great set up. The kids had a blast. With all the family and friends around, Wayne and I even got a chance to run out to the pub on our own in the middle of the day.
We took our truck 4 wheel driving for the first time, drove out on the beach, the boys would fall asleep somehow with all the bumping and bouncing the truck was doing on the road and dunes. I got to taste oysters straight off the rock, we saw a massive Canadian eating snake (who luckily kept moving on). We went to some amazing hidden beaches, ate great food, and had a lot of fun. It was a great week away for sure, one we have to do again! I smell a tradition coming on......
And here's some photos from the week:

Travis' soccer and swimming videos

Travis at his swimming lessons, paddling back up to the surface from under water on his own!


So much fun

I do not think my heart will grow any more, and then it does. I love our little family and Wayne and I are loving watching our two little boys grow! Their little personalities are so amazing to see develop. Seriously we are just having so much fun! Here's a photo update.
Jett at 9 months!

He's so freaking cute



Such a great smile!

Jett, ha ha, always pointing


Reading to my boys

Well trying to read to my boys :)

Sand is the best

We got "ishies"

Checking Jett's ears, just like the doctor checked his...except with a drill

Breakfast buddies

Strawberries and melon should balance out that giant chocolate milkshake


Ha ha ha ha, he did this for like a week and hasn't since. It was like he was getting cross with an invisible friend. That friend must have started to behave.

Too cool

Date weekend for Wayne and I, started off with a champagne lunch!

A little for me

A little for you

I love this photo, very retro looking, isn't he?

Having an after surf lunch break beach side


Such a helpful older brother

Travis at his swimming lessons. :D This looks boring, he can actually go under water and swim back up to the surface to his coach, I missed that photo

Jett, can NOT wait to get in for his turn. He is such a water baby, no photos of him since I'm in the water for his lesson still. He loves tumbling off the edge and going under water!
