Hope you enjoyed the few photos i found to pop on to blog for you.

We had a good school holiday break. Kids are always ready for the break. We went BUSH CAMPING at Charters Towers, west of Townsville. What a experience it was. Had a great time, just had to realize we were in the bush not a tourist park. Kids loved that we could have a fire and so did the big boys .

It was freezing for us at 6c, thank goodness for electricity and heaters.

Zian had her little gal pal Payton to play with on this trip and they spent the few days playing in a tyre full of dirt and a sprinkle pole.

Since then we have had the good news of David's sister Kim becoming engaged to Casey Matthews. All new and moving fast. They have waited to late 30's to find each other and aren't wasting a minute in building there new life together. They became engaged 3 weeks ago and we have a wedding mid September. We are happy for them both and kids are rapted that they have another uncle, who comes with 38 cousins in law.....

Dave's leg is still giving him grief, i don't believe it will ever be the same again. It is definitely life changing with what he can do and can't do. Not to mention he's getting old and grumpier.!!!!hehe

Jake has joined cubs/scouts and has been attending for 3 weeks now. He had a camp on weekend and is really enjoying it. I have had to volunteer this Sat night and Sun morn at scout fundraiser food outlet. Where will Jake be, at home snug in bed, while I'm out there working and freezing on strand...EEMMNNN Scouts!!!!!

Johnno's Camper Trailers has been a great venture for me to enter into. We had the pleasure of going to Hervey Bay for head office conference last week. We had no children and 9 hour boardroom days. + evenings out to dinner with a few drinks. Was so nice,

The seminar was informative and we appreciate the product that we sell and hire. Johnno's Australia have built a great camper Trailer and we are proud to be a part of such a forward moving Australian owned company.

Well hello to all,





Yes im so sorry ive been slack updating this blog, an for all that live so far awayi know this is your life line to us, as i never have phone time.So boy how time flies..Zian has been in our arms for nearlly 6 months and now her true personality is showing. She is Boss and wow what a temper. We have a little girl who wants to communicate but is frustrated,so we have now found a little byter. I feel im in uncharted waters on disciplining a little girl. Both boys went through Biting phase. It just feels different in the tone and manner i need to use with her. So i will work through this phase and hopefully she will move on quickly.So where do i start.





We had the Collins Family from Darwin visit us for a week back in June.Was so nice to see each other again. They enjoyed meeting Zian and seeing the boys as they have all grown so much since we saw them 2 years ago. Jackson is 10 and has filled out and gotton taller. Isabella is no longer a baby and is a big girl.The kids all got on famously.Jackson, maybe next year we could talk mum n dad into flying you here for june july holidays by your self, and we could go camping and just have poulsen family time fun.

When you look at pictures i wonder if you can tell who takes them all!!!!!

So mum n Dad have been in buderim for 6 weeks which was a nice break for them.Their renovations on house in Townsville are finished and look great. Mum then flew down to Jay,Peg n Curtis for a few days. She had a lovely time and Curtis now remembers Nanny.Peg is doing well in pregnacy and bub due mid August. Can't wait to meet our new addidtion when arrived.I think Zian an i will do a quick trip to Melbourne for kisses and cuddles.

COOK OFF TIME POULSEN STYLE!!!!

Ready for my swimming lessons

OH HOW TIME IS FLYING!!!

Here i sit writing this blog and have just realised tomorrow we have had the pleasure of having Zian in our arms for 3 months. It truly feels like she has always been with us.
She has progressed in such leaps n bounds. We are now up to date with QLD immunization with 6 given all in one hit , so we experienced a different Zian for a weeks period. I would like to say OUR Zian is back. She has also teethed 4 large back teeth during this time. So for all mothers you can imagine what it was like.
Zian loves her swimming lessons which we attend every week for a half hour lesson. Tayn plays in the playgroup while Zian and I enter the water.Thank goodness for heated pools at the moment. Tayn and Jake are also enjoying their lessons which of course are all at different times. Jake has just advance to next level of swimming, which he is proud of. Tayn is a water kid and swims effortlessly.
Dave has just been home again for 5 weeks due to another knee reconstruction,which has been nice for the kids but i worry that now he is heading back to work the kids now have go through that transition again.I'm am so ready to have my house back during the days.
We also just bought a business ,hiring and Selling of camper trailers. It is a franchise and offers us a lifestyle as well as having the freedom of running a home based business so i can stay at home with the children. We are Johnno's Camper Trailers Townsville.
Kids just love there dress up days and love to have pictures taken so you will see some familiar costumes just worn slightly different over the times.
Dave and i had the pleasure of meeting with the Adoption support group of N.Q last Friday at a playgroup with all the children and Mums and dads. What wonderful people..We all had a lovely time and kids really enjoyed themselves. This will become a fortnightly activity that tayn Zian and I will attend.
School holidays are creeping up on us again. The year is just flying past.Wont be long until we are organising Xmas.
We celebrated Mothers day in style. I got a sleep in and then was visited by 3 kids to have a lovely foot massage that turned int a back massage..YUMMY!!!!! I had brekky made for me by Jake and then kids and I watched High School Musical before Jake and I headed to Shops for me to have a manicure.Was really a kids n me day.Just Lovely.
My mum travelled to my brothers in Melbourne to spent the weekend with Jay his wife Peg and son Curtis and of course Jnr Stewart/McCallum Due Late August.
I hope all is well for everyone .
Take care
JO
