My Boy...

Just in case you all thought I only had one child, I thought I'd share some pics from a family phot shoot I did in September.
So this is my hubby Brian, with beautiful Kelby and my handsome little man, Nicholas.

Personal, I think my little man should be a model! He's a natural infront of the camera (although that could be 'cos mom is always taking pics!)

Blog Award



My first blog award! How awesome is that - thanks Cathy, now this really is a motivator to keep blogging! (I just hope I've figured out how to get this posted....hehehe!)
Here are the RULES for presenting this, hopefully soon sought after award:
Pick 5 bloggers that you consider as your best blogging buddies and deserves this award for their contribution towards the blogging community, no matter what language.
State the name of the author of each blog as well as a link to each one's blogs.
Each blogger (upon acceptance) of this award should do a post and show the award on their blog and put the name and link to the blog that has given her/him the award.
Link to
DOING LIFE's blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.
Show these rules.
And so here's who I pick....

Such a proud mommy...!







Wow - I am the world's proudest mommy right now! Kelby had her school prizegiving on Thursday night. As expected she received the Afrikaans book prize for the best in Afrikaans 2nd language, then she also got the English book prize - best in English 1st anguage. She also received an award for outstanding results in the West Rand Eistedford - 85% solo song, 1st place! So my precious child got to sing her winning song for the Senior Prizegivieng! She sang "How beautiful the body of Christ" and she sang it so beautifully, we even had a tear or two shed!







Towards the end of the evening there were 2 prizes left - both Shields and the top honours! Obviously we weren't expecting anything but the next we knew Kelby was once again called to stage and receive the Manda van der Walt Shield as the Best Overall Disabled Learner in the school! Well we were just bursting with pride! Kelby is recognised for her overall Academic, Cultural and Sporting achievements!


Here she is receiving her award:

You go girl - nothing can stop you now!

I've been found....?

Yip - Cathy tracked down my blog (if you can call it that!) 'cos its brand new - I'm still trying to figure out how it all works, the links, photos etc. etc. But that will have to be my project now! So seen's Cathy found me, I'll have to get her to teach me!

Can't wait for tomorrow - Kelby is singing solo at her senior prizegiving and of course gitting lots of certificates! She has done so well this year and I am just so proud of her.
