This hasn't been updated since Feb.

If you couldn't tell I got over it.

Lots happened. 

Maybe I should do I run down?

Maybe I won't?

Meh. Whatever.

Fiona, Jess and I moved into our new place today.

Woo. it's awesome. we like it.

location is GREAT - 12 minute walk to work! WHOOP!

Went to the Temple this morning with Sacha.

Then we headed out with some of Tash's friends and played mini-golf.

Went out to dinner for Tash's brothers birthday - went to Hogs Breath - YUM!

Went to MELBOURNE today with Sacha.

She flew in from Launie, and I flew in from Hobart and we met Tash in Melbs, who picked us up and we stayed at her place for a couple of nights!

First UYC (Ultimate Youth Convention) training was on tonight!

There are 6 tribe leaders.

Me

Collette

Sacha

Campbell

Cob

Rhys

UYC is gonna be GREAT!

Taught the YW about FAITH today.

Got a volunteer to walk accross the room blind folded, having someone lead them of course. 

I then got them to do it again but put thumbtacks on the ground - it was great watch!

Hobart Stake Beach Day activity - was FUN. I went Ski Biscuiting in my CLOTHES (Jeans, and a shirt) - bet no-ones done that before!! The water was REALLY warm.

*photo coming, it's not of me on the ski biscuit though*

Pulled out a heap of stuff to find my finnish flag and some pictures we need for a YW activity coming up........ was an interesting experience...

had a YW meeting tonight with Becc & Toni to plan the YW lessons, activities etc...

Didn't sleep until about 4am this morning, so I didn't go to work...

Lani showed me her School Uni-form.. very CUTE Lani.

Hannah I went running.... we saw this sign on our run a little while back and thought it was a little funny 'exercise extreme caution'. We're not sure why it was funny.. but it was at the time..

regatta day.

watched the fireworks with the YSA - iphone isn't allowing me to upload any pictures at the moment - it's being weird.

......... umm.. yeah didn't do anything.. haha

more house hunting... we are SO over it!!!

Went to Hannah's for a visit in between looking - Lani and Emi couldn't WAIT to show me their cubby!!

Went for a run down to Kingston.

I drove down to the bus stop and then got a lift home, and then I ran down to get my car. 

There is a path that goes around behind the houses thats pretty cool.

And then there is a tunnel that goes under the highway!

Hannah moved into her new place.

Apparently there is a plum tree out the back.

I also just HAD to add this picture of the girls and their 'Bugsy Eyes'!!

Moving Day began for the Challis' family.

Lani & Emi LOVED checking out all their old toys.

I remember this.

I remember that.

This is just like Christmas!

house hunting...

went and had a look at this open home today...

applied for it

hoping to get it

it was awesome inside!

my iphone arrived today.

ilove it.

Charlie's turned ONE!!!!!!

Lauren gave me a nice gift today.

A cook book and phase ten - GREAT game (unless you play against the Smiths, which I did on Sunday night - they thrashed me)

*photo to come*

Finished making the YW packs tonight.

Book mark, pens, note book/journal, CD all in a cool plastic sleeve.

I am introducing the theme on Sunday which is 

'Be Strong & Courageous'

And I am going to encourage them to bring their note books and stuff every sunday, but especially on Rainbow Sunday - when we focus on one of the values, and their personal progress.

Oh, AND I booked flights to Melbourne today WOO HOO!

Started making the YW some 'Be Strong and Courageous' packs for Rainbow Sunday on Sunday.

Started with BOOK MARKS!

(front & back) 

I thought I may have broken Emily's arm

Turns out it wasn't a break

It was a dislocated elbow

AUSTRALIA DAY

We celebrated being Australian by:

Having a BBQ

Playing some Cricket

Riding a mini chopper around the yard

Wearing Aussie flags all day

Getting tattoos of the Aussie flag (fake ones.. the tatt, not the flag)

Eating Ice-Cream

Listening to the JJJ count down

Watching Cricket

Playing Guitar Hero

and

Talkin' Australian

C'ARN STRAYA!!!

Tonight Charlie came over for a BBQ.

He couldn't get enough of the tractor.

Third day of YSA camp.

This is all the YSA that camp.

It was fantastic and sunday was by far the BEST day.

Photo by Fiona Harding

(She's EXCELLENT. I really like the way she does her photos. I hope she doesn't mind that I borrowed it from FB) 

Day two of YSA camp. Today we did service.

we...

picked up cow poop.

feed sheep.

chopped down a tree.

trimmed a bush.

cut barrels.

(i got to drive this bike first (because I volunteered to pick up the poop), and it was awesome and everyone was mad they didn't volunteer.. suckers!!)

First day of YSA camp at Port Sorell. 

We watched ASTRO BOY on the first night.

Was awesome.

Last day of YWC.

The girls had a blast and I am pretty sure all the leaders did as well.

Everyone was well behaved and got along really well together!

Can't wait til next year ;)

Day Two of Young Womens Camp.

I couldn't decide which photo to use for today!

Top one is when the Bishops were asked to sit in a chair with cup, and the Young Women stood in 4 lines in front of them and were going to run up, fill the Bishops cup and the Bishops had to drink as many cups of Lemonade as they could in 1 minute........

YEAH RIGHT!

GO was said and the YW shook that LEMONADE and let it go EVERYWHERE!!

It was BRILLIANT.

Somehow Bishop Jury managed to get out with just a drop... 

so I fixed that problem.... and then he soon fixed me (with the help of Bishop Smith...)

First Day of Young Womens Camp.

I missed most of the day, but they made some banners... apparently Hobart Ward took about 2 hours..... - GOOD WORK GIRLS..

To be honest, I didn't take a photo this day. But the YW from my ward and I went Grocery Shopping for camp which starts TOMORROW!!!

We won't mention that Katrina, Alice & Chelsea took the ice to the car and then attempted to drive the car to a different spot to trick us....... and it didn't work!

Christmas came late this year.

The Carmichaels came over and we opened some Christmas Presents.

Needless to say the kidlets were extremely excited...

Me, Lani & Emi went to big w today and I bought them their Chrissy present.

(a couch) they chose the 'princess one' and they think it's GREAT!

THE CHALLIS' ARE BACK

and are making themselves VERY MUCH at home...

IN MY ROOM!

P.S also, the YW heart attacked my room - and gave me cookies!! woo hoo!

Went to the CIRCUS tonight for Camilla's BIRTHDAY.

I took Jenna and Locke!

THEY LOVED IT.

It was awesome.

YOU NEED TO GO. It's GREAT!

P.S Quick story. Locke told his Mum that he saw a man who was looking at us and thinking 'I wonder where those kids' mums are'.....

Josh was set-apart tonight as a Missionary!

Leaving for the Sydney North Mission tomorrow at 6am!

Good luck Josh.

Sitting up usuing my comp (biting my nails) and

making a movie of my trip to EUROPE tonight.

Nothing else really exciting other than missing the bus by 3 mins :(

Got some NEW SHOES today in the post.

I have been looking for some new ones for AGES but couldn't find ANY in my SIZE.

So I went ONLINE. 

The Dollar was GOOD.

I got a BARGAIN.

They fit PERFECTO and  are VERY COMFY!

LOVE THESE SHOES!

After Church today I started editing some videos from my trip to UK/Finland.

Here is the first production.

(Lani November 2009 - Taunton)

Shaun's Farewell.

Shaun is leaving on THURSDAY to serve a MISSION in NEW ZEALAND.

GOOD BYE SHAUN.

WE WILL MISS YOU! (and your kayaks)

*note: This photo was NOT taken today - but it IS of Shaun*

Went to ANACONDA with Camilla & Vanessa to buy a sleeping bag, walking shoes, a pocket knife and an awesome head light.

I tried these babies on, they look quite good and would come in VERY handy............ not sure where though!!

Went to Bellerive Beach/Rocks with Drew today.

Drew taught me how to do some cool night photography - 

THANKS DREW.

Was heaps of fun.

Got pretty dark.

Had to walk back to the car in the PITCH BLACK.

Was awesome.

Got a package from Deseret Book today of CD's & Books. 

The box was MUNTED and so were the books!!!

Played Mario Kart Wii for a bit this evening... and ate some peanut butter m&m's (see my stash?).... I lost so I gave up - Damn Rainbow level!!!

I picked Camilla up from the airport - she had been at YSA Convention in Brisbane.

How happy is she to see me? 

This was the ONLY photo I took of her.. ha ha awesome!

I gave myself a french manicure. Yes, I know I am cool, and yes, they are REAL and yes I didn't put my thumb in the photo because it was to short (the nail, not the thumb).

Packing, cleaning and preparing for the Challis' big arrival home.

(it's a shame I gotta give back all those scrapbooking things I borrowed... maybe Hannah will forget... ??)

We played an intense game of Handball.

Which included a lot of frustration, liners, tears, threats, and of course cheating!!
