Full on
This weekend was pretty full on.
After an early wake-up on Saturday and a trip out to Henderson to see the launch of Silver, we rushed home to prepare the house for the onslaught of partygoers that were due later on that day to celebrate Liams 9th birthday.
Then while Andrew took Liam, Ethan and a couple of his friends to see Spiderman 3 (they met up with others at the theatre), I rushed out to do some last minute things before they all congregated back at my house. All of his pressies , other than the AFL ball that Aunty L and Uncle D got him, were Spiderman which was pretty cool. He even got us to buy him a PlayStation2 so that he could get the new Spiderman game that had just come out. We didnt realise till later that he could have played that same PS2 game on his dads PlayStation3!! Everyone seemed to have enjoyed the movie and after a lot of food and cake, we were all happy to just sit and chat amongst us adults while the kids caused havoc.
Andrew went around spraying everyones hair pink and purple, even Miss Ruby didnt escape! Unfortunately we were all too tired to grab the camera and take some shots, sorry.
There was a sweet moment there too where I was on the trampoline with Ruby and Jasper and was gently bouncing Ruby on my lap and her big bro was booinging all over the place like tigger and the giggles and sheer enjoyment on their faces was priceless. Unfortunately not priceless enough for anyone to grab the camera and take a shot or vid. Im sorry but by then we were all just so buggered!
Everyone finally left just after 6 and Andrew and I had a chance to wind down. Liam had his friends stay over as well.
Sunday was ok. My kiddies made me lovely homemade Mothers Day gifts which are way more precious than any thing they could have bought at a store. I really am the luckiest mum in the world.
ps. It was Karleens birthday yesterday and to celebrate, a few of us are off to the pub on Saturday for Ladies Nite. It includes a full buffet dinner and some nice men dancing. I will try to remember to get some photos of our night out :P

A Hard Years Work
Well finally, after a years worth of Andrew, Hopa, Davy and their trade assistants blood, sweat, and lots of moaning from their wives, this is the end result. A luxury yacht named Silver. Okay so they didnt do it ALL by themselves, but they shaped, prepped and final coated large parts of it, and earned the reputation of being one of the best teams in the business and so rightly deserved. Its a major accomplishment considering that the boat had been in the making for the last 2 years or so and their team had made such an impression that they have been given the job of the next boat similar to this. So proud of my husband and brothers.
The top few photos are of Silver leaving the shed where it was made. The two large trucks are what towed it to where it was to be put in the water. Its funny how the 1st truck is connected to the second truck, which has a veery long trailer on it to accomodate the yacht. Then its placed on the wharf (the two bottom photos) and then the trucks disconnect from the boat and the wharf is lowered beneath the boat untill its floating in the water and then towed out further by two tugboats(the last photo). A looong process!
The whole thing was covered in the State paper due to it being the largest boat that has been made in Western Australia. Once I find out where Andrew put his copy I will post it so that you can all read it
Ooooh
I found this photo from Karleens camera while i was borrowing it for a look and nicked it to put on my blog. This was taken during the school holidays while we had taken them for a day at the park.
It amazes me how well these two interact, they are so very close. Ethan can be so protective of her as she can be with him, and tho they have their bad days, the next day it will be all forgotten and they are best friends again. It so great to have two cousins grow together and know that the bond they share will probably br lifelong.

Photo
Not much has been happening in the Lazarus-Barron household.
Andrew works, I maintain the house and the kids go to school. Liams birthday is approaching fast and we have his birthday wishlist so that makes things easier. Then Andrews two weeks later aargh.
Here are one of the photos that the kiddies posed for the week before last. Wasnt too impressed with them but they were still worth getting. Have the rest on layby so once we have them, ill post them. Hate the fake smile that my oldest son has, but judging from some of his father when Andrew was younger, we all see where he gets it from!
