Turkey Man and Beulah Baby!

What would a blog be without an animal in it. Our babies, Beulah is doing well at puppy classes and Turk is just my mate never far from my feet or my side. Everyone in the Toomey family knows what these creatures bring to our lives. A house just isn't a home unless it is held together with slobber, fur and god only knows what else. Mishi is still with us and we figured out the other day one of our chicken turns 10 year next year, maybe celebrate with a kfc dinner. Ratty is still going strong, but looking rather old, god help us the day that dies, Shea will be gutted. Pony is a legend and like mishi one eyed and useless but loves Nyah to bits and wont leave her alone. So heres to all animals who have gone before these and to the ones to follow.

Big Trip to the City.

Shea finally got to the city. Connor had a great time showing Shea and Dad around Te Papa. He had been there last year on his school camp. Mum and Nyah at home as Nyah had a bug and decided being sick in the loo was far more exciting. The last time we planned a trip to Te Papa I got really crook so there was no way they were not going this time. They had a good day out!

Relay for Life

That time of the year again when Shea and Anton head into Palmy for the 24hr run for cancer relay for life. Shea got over $130 just in our street. They were part of the Air Force team.

Nyah's Sunflowers.

Nyah entered a sunflower growing competition. Her mate won winning $500 for the school. Didn't get too big due to being all grown in a pot but she loved them and watered them everyday. Giving the family daily updates. Shea also entered a giant pumpkin growing competition but decided not to pick it and its still growing strong. Just as well the winners

was 80kgs! So a good summer for growing kids and plants.

I know, I know dont go on!

Yes bowling, I know but what else can ya do. With husband here there and everwhere there are not much other places than the pool to go and do something for yourself with kids in tow.... although Connor would not be seen dead at the bowls the girls had to tag along though. This was a business house competition, so me and other staff entered to have a bit of a laugh and laugh we did, I think we got around... ah ..... bout LAST!!

Heading out for Tea

After our big swim we decided to go out to tea to celebrate.

So into Palmy the bumpkins go and had a good night out! It was good to sit and people watch in the square and poke fun at nothing. The square had just been done up and has heaps of lights and was cool to sit and take it all in. Ended up taking photos like some tourist, but hey we are from Bulls.
