America trip part 1

Zeric and I only got one day in Seattle... well Federal Way, a part of Seattle. But that one day was so nice. We hung out with Tutu Diane all day. She drove us around the sound and I could not believe how amazing that place is. I used to live there, but I never took in the beauty.
SO GREEN !

Maui Wedding

Here I am ready for Miss Chelsea to get married to her childhood sweetheart. I had such an amazing time. 18 people to share this special moment. I just hope my pictures can do this justice.
so really just a peak of a special day.

Brother Robbie doin his thing... I can't wait to see his photos.

Rob and his other half A.D. looking so darn cute !
I must say, A.D. knows how to make the best southern food of all time and Robbie and I can eat that food the best ;)

My little Z man making all of us smile

The best spot for an amazing wedding lunch !! Z man is eating a macadamia nut pancake. A Hawaiian special.

MR. and MRS.

Zeric and his new bestest friend Chad. Z man lights up when Chad walks into a room and will drop what ever he's doing just to play with Chad. I have asked Chad if he wants to come back to Australia with us, but that would mean no football :( bummer, I thought I had a full time babysitter and best friend ;)

My amazing husband and son.
and Zeric's Hawaiian shirt and shorts are from Tutu, we picked them out just for this special day.

Shannon and I (another framed picture ) I'm so happy the two of us ... well three including Diane, got to be here for Chelsea. It was a beautiful wedding, full of Fun, funny, beautiful, tears and cheers, pictures, hugs , smiles , friends and family.

The Happy new couple

MAUI !!!! part 1

for two weeks we have been living it up in Maui ! Flew over here for my best friends wedding and also to catch up with family and friends. First time Zeric in a swimming pool and he loved it.

Ready for the pool and the sun. Our little water baby

Auntie Chelsea bought Z man a shark towel and Tutu got him the shark suit. He was so ready for this swimming thing ;)

Grandpa Dan got our little guy a set of golf clubs and it was perfect because the condos have a putting green. Zeric is being so spoiled and loving it !
He's also working on that swing of his and swim ;)

Grandpa Dan just letting Zeric drive us around the Island. The driving age here in Maui is 19 months old ;) so we only found it fare to let Dan the man teach Zeric ;)

A view from our condo... It's such an amazing place

One day Jameso and I went for a drive to check out some of the Island and we drove by a huge home made BBQ on the side of the road with the most AMAZING smell ! James and I had no choice but to pull over and check it out. Some Locals were making a local BBQ Chicken. Hulu Chicken and it was the MOST AMAZING chicken I have ever had ! As I have said before, James and I love trying new food from around the world. But it's another thing when you Travel and try the local foods. A vacation ... to leave your life behind and enjoy something new for a change !

Me , Chelsea and Shannon ! We are on a sunset cruise and also laying on a trampoline thing. can you see the water under us ? the water was an amazing deep blue color and the view of the Island was beautiful. The cruise was a great time to get the whole wedding party together... 18 people ;) and mingle, eat yummy food and have some drinks.

Captin Z ! He had a great time on the boat. But Dad had to take care of him because Mama was freaking out... still looking for my sea legs ;)

Robbie, brother and photographer and his hot girlfriend A.D. taking a moment to enjoy the sunset.

Captin Z just checking out the deck to make sure all if safe.

My first pedicure and not my last. Chelsea took all of her girls out to get pampered one morning. so much fun and such a great foot rub ! Here Shannon and I are catching up on the gossip and planning our next move to the hair salon...

Th bride to be and mother of the bride !

Sunset from our condo

We put the baby seat in the Jeep and drove. Zeric loved this car, he can see everything. Right here , he is giving Auntie Shannon thumbs up.

Me, Tutu (Diane) and Shannon at the pot luck dinner. Every family had to bring a dish of their favorite. It was a feast for kings and queens. some of the most amazing home cooked food.

Diane, me and Dan !

Shannon, Chelsea (bride) and me. This has been such a special trip so far. Catching up with my closest friends who I have called family for years, Seeing and eating new things and Playing with our little boy in another part of the world. I don't want it to end ! :(
