This is the picture that will be on the advertisement...
would you trust this man???

I have promised that I would blog some photos of my fabulous husband in his new business outfits and with his freshly signwritten van . About 3 weeks ago, Jason resigned and left Metro Motors and began doing his own business fulltime. Yes, a big gamble, but we had to take the big step eventually and it felt like the time was right. We had put in a lot of work before doing this through pamphlet drops, working weekends to bulid up the client base and hiting the pavement to approach other businesses. We have had such a great response, and have had heaps of help from another independent mechanic in Joondalup, that was decent enough to give Jason advice on a range of things, and we never even knew him before - he just wanted to help. (Hurray for human kindness!!!) I am proud to say 3 weeks on and it has been going great a lil quiet last week but this week he has work on everyday and we haven't even done the big advertisement yet - will be out soon in a Smartsavers magazine delievered in Morley and surrounding areas. We are so very lucky that Jason has been able to take this step towards some thing that makes him happy, which then makes us all VERY HAPPY!!!.

Lots of Love and Hugs and Kisses

Hi all

Earlier this year we became zoo friend which is were you pay an amount then you can visit the zoo as much as you want for the next year. This was the second time we had been, and this time we went by ourselves just me (Fiona), Kody and Imogen. Jason doesn't have one because he is not the fond of the zoo.Anyway after Sunday I have decided it is the best thing ever, after watching everyone running around the zoo trying to see every thing for their $16.00. Instead we strolled and went and looked at a few things, and spent as much time as we liked at each thing - especially the gibbons they were too funny. Then we went to the Playground and just sat and played around there, knowing that we could go back in the school holidays to look at the things we had missed today. Another plus was that it was a beautiful day anyway here is a few pictures.

Hi all

Here are some photos of Imogen's Swimming lessons when daddy came and watched us last week and Imogen is taking to the water like a fish, they are learning to doggy paddle to the side and get out. Imogen loves to jump, nice change to Kody who was definately not fond of the water!!! (though is now : P). Imogen is going to swimming lessons with her buddy Dhani and every time she sees the swimming bag it's "pool...dhani..."

Monster Show
Bundy Bear
On Friday the 19th of May Kody, Imogen, Granny (or Bumpa - as Immie calls her) and Me (Fiona) went to the Monster Show at the muesum in the city. It was great, I was originally going to stay home with Imogen, but after going I was so glad we came along. All the stuff there was make up by set/ costume designers for movies such as Inspector Gadget 2, Racing Stripes, Peter Pan ( They even had the head of the crocodile there which was something like 3 metres long and the whole body would have been 10 metres if they had made it!!) and even the Bundy Bear. The time it takes to make it all is incredible, they must have the patience of saints. My favourite bit was the unicorn it looked so real, Kody's favourite was the werewolf, Imogen's was the coloured boxes that you could change the colours on and I am not sure what Granma's was, I will add it when I find out!!!. Afterwards we went for a walk through the city, had Mcdonalds and came home. We are all very lucky to be able to do these special things together (Thanks Jason : )). It was a great day!!!!

Hurray Hurray...finally the birthday photos what a chore!!. I have had huge dramas trying to add these photos on here, even after my lovely brother rushed them to me!!. Anyway we had Imogen's 2nd Birthday on the Sunday 30th of April. (feels like forever ago). We decided to move it from our house to the park down the road because it was such a beautiful day.
I would have to say it was one of the most relaxed kids birthday parties I have ever been to or held, no stress the kids had a blast on the playground and the best thing besides that my lil girl had a great day was that my house was still clean and tidy when I arrived home - hurray!!!. Thankyou to all that came and helped celebrate Imogen's 2nd Birthday. I hope you all had a great morning...

Lots of Love

P.S Now i have fixed the problem I will have to post like mad to catch up, though please bear with me as i have my first uni exams in 3 weeks - argh!!!!

Imogen's 2nd Birthday Pictures

lets hope they work have been having a hard time trying to get these pictures to attach thanks for the patience...

Imogen's Super 2nd Birthday

Hi all,
My baby or big girl now turned TWO on Wednesday the 26th of April, we had planned to go to Go Bananas ( a kids fun place), but we basically ran out of time. We eventually got there on Friday with Lisa Dart, thank god I had a ear infection to block out some of the noise, poor lisa coped the full blow (sorry Lisa if I have turned you of kids for life they are not always that noisy - honest!!!). So we spent Imogen's birthday together potting around and keeping busy organising the 2nd Birthday party.
We had Imogen's 2nd Birthday on Sunday the 30th of April at the local park it was absolutely fabulous and I hope to post photos soon as I get them from my lovely brother (HINT HINT!!!) . Imogen got heaps of clothes, books, dolls, torch, passes to Full of Fun & a lovely art easel. She was fully spolit - suprise suprise!!!.

Since turning 2 Imogen's favourite word is now......."NO"...suprise suprise!!! - Ahhh it's going to be a long year!!!!

Love and Kisses the Holmes Gang

P.S. Thanks to everyone who joined us for Imogen's party!!
P.P.S. I am also very proud to say my lil big girl is now mostly toliet trained, hey she had to be first at something, everyone else beat her at crawling, walk and talking!!!

Finally Photos of the new lil Holmes Girl!!!!!

Well as promise many weeks ago...pictures of our new niece and cousin, "Tayah Ruth".
She is very cute, and yes it made me (Fiona) a little clucky until I heard she had been up from 9.30pm - 4.30 am the night before these photos were taken - ARGH!!!!. I think I'll stick with my two All night sleepers anyday!!!
Love to all
