Babies Proms

Seems such a strange name for it? and the children were mighty confused when i said we would be attending...until they figured out we had seen the DVD version.


No doubt you are a tad confused too now? Babies Proms is an educational performance put on by the Western Australian Youth Orchestra, or WAYO for short.

I am really bummed, because i took a different camera then the one i was used to. The whole performance i was fiddling with the settings to try achieve a decent photo *sigh* it was not to be, but a photo is a photo and we still have our memories.

Sophie got right into it, understandably since it was geared to her age.
though they say 3-11 on the brochure.

At the end of the show, everyone is invited into the orchestra to 'feel' the last song. This overwhelmed the girls a little and they stuck to the fringes, Samuel got in there though, can you spot him? he's wearing a grey/white hat along the back, only his head is peeking through :)

When the crowds thinned a little, some of the musicians let the children try their instruments.

Claire got right into this and could have done it all day.

ugh, this one refuses to rotate?

So that was our trip to "Babies Proms" if you ever see the DVD at your library, it's well worth borrowing. and if you have some youngun's up to about 8ish or older ones who've never experienced an orchestra it's definitely worth a visit, if it comes to somewhere local

attempting to catch up a little....

Photo heavy, so be prepared :)

My awesomely adorable nephew Jack

What is it with kids and toy packaging??
Thank you Great Grandma, for the treat.
Kaytie chose Lego, as did the rest of the girls.
Samuel chose a board game.

Samuel is forever whinging how 'his Grandpa
 painted the aeroplane that stood on the pole at
 the front of the airport and "how could they take it down!?"
He was somewhat sated to discover the display inside
 the airport including the original propeller but still was unsatisfied that it was removed,
even though i pointed out that it had deteriorated to a too dangerous condition to leave it there.
Funny the things he obsesses about...

and of course kaytie (and claire) had to have the same photo
I won't bore you with claires also ;)

i wish i could get a decent airplane photo...

tired little mite, just couldn't hold out any longer,
 doesn't surprise me since when we got back to
 Perth it would have been 11:30pm QLD time

So, Home again home again jiggity jog.
I need to get better at updating this blog.

The "Wetting"

ugh so behind on blogging. It's crazy how much guilt i have over this :/


but anyways best not to dwell, time to move forward. how about a wedding, that's a new start a way of moving forward right... haha you see what i did there?? clever right?? yeah i didn't think so either :)

All the children in their finery...

Oh alright if i have too... a family photo

I only have limited photos since my camera was being silly



 Jamie and i have decided that NONE of the children will be allowed to get married, because both He and I will be blithering messes.

Afterwards we had a delicious dinner at Dundees on the Waterfront

Samuel's awesomesomely yummy "Surf and Turf" dinner
