Cobar Rodeo

#21 Good, bad and ugly...Cobar Rodeo.

So after many many years of not having a rodeo Cobar this year decided to put one on. It was held back in June and was a good day but terribly cold. 2nd born was busting ot get on the mechanical bull, the picture you see is the"before" hahaha the after ones were not happy.

Pirates,puzzles and patty cakes....

#20 of Good, Bad and Ugly of Cobarland....Markets in the park. Cobar Public State Primary School held on Sunday a market day in the park.It was loads of fun.

We bought pattycakes, a puzzle for the grandparents, checked out the fire truck, ate doughnuts and drank lemonade. Aidan bought himself a pirate showbag and Gabriella picked up a fairy pencil. Bring on Spring I say..... with weather like this life is good!!

#19 Cobar Races....

So number 19 in Good, Bad and Ugly of Cobarland...

The Cobar races. I don't have any fantastic photo's of this year's races. I was feeling very poorly so had hubby take the photo's. Our computer died not too long ago and ALL of my pictures went into cyberspace hell. Past photo's were of my fabulous friends looking glamourous, children looking divine and loads of red dirt swirling about as the geegee's come galloping down the main straight.

Anyway you can sort of get a glimpse of what it is about, and admire my very special hat. Because my friends it may look beautiful and sunny but as with any outback area, looks can be deceiving. The wind if you happened to be out on it was bitterly cold. Therefore one of my better purchases a felt hat!!!

#18: Motor bike riding....

So last weekend we went down to the "old Res" and went motor bike riding. This was a fun afternoon. We had just celebrated my 40th birthday and had family and friends come out from Sydney. So we thought we'd have a Sunday afternoon motorbike riding. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I would be hanging out with dirt bike riders or RIDING!!!

None of us were riding crazy and I do not know how to drive a manual car so I am incapable of getting out of 1st gear on my daughter's bike. She is the same so it's not like we are breeding speed demons. Will have to get Aidan a helmet and some bike gear as he is starting to love riding. Anyway I think everyone had a nice day, a sausage sizzle was had, magazines were read, kids laughing, and not too cold weather.

#17: MY NEW HOUSE

Ok,

So I know it's been awhile but I think I might be back on track with 101 good,bad and ugly. So thought I'd put up a pic of my very, very green house. It's such a nice feeling to finally have our own house after renting for 4 and a half years. We have been busy trying to drag it kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Not all the rooms are finished but it's been fun and crazy. The kids have loved it as well as they had imput into what colours they want in their rooms. Which is a big step for me 'cause I'm kind of a control freak when it comes to that sort of stuff!!!

Well it's been awhile. So wherehave I been...I havebeen in computer hell. Our computer died and then it died again and it just kept on dying but now I am back and hopefully I can start uploadingpics. However in saying that I am about to go to Sydney for two weeks so it will be interesting to see what I can do from my sister's computer, so stay tuned!!

#16: Echidna's

So these little creatures can become not so little. A friend of ours is the local wires man, and he turned up to a birthday party with his little friend.
This echidna is a male one and he was a bit cranky when the kids tried to spy him out in the container he was in. However he was still very cute and as my sister said in one of his photo's he looks like he is saying "i dunno". Lucky for us you do not see these as road kill often on the side of the road. I have been told that is a good thing as they will puncture yor tyre!!!
Everytime I see them I think of the Bonds ad of years ago when the ants were crawling on the model and she says: "Sick 'em Rex". Cranky or not they are still very cute. Love it.
