More family photos!

I found some photos of our pets again - if you think we love our pets, your right!  If you think our pets are inquisitive, and enjoy our company - I hope so!

Pepsi peeping through our bedroom window, trying to figure out what going on?!  I wonder what she is looking at??

Pepsi at 2 months old!

The absolutely best photo of Pepsi - it was going to get published in a calendar, but it was sent too late!

Our little master of the house at 2 years old!

Rachel's Creations

Here are some of Rachel's efforts from the TAFE kitchen.  Please don't continue reading if you have a weakness for sweets.

Princess cake

Winning Cake - Rachel had a genoise (sponge) torte cook-off with the rest of the students in her class.  Needless to say, she won the competition with this cake.   The cake design was Rachel's idea.
Aside from the chocolate cake, there are meringue layers, ganache butter cream, chocolate frosting layers and truffles with peanut brittle on the top.

Calm after the storm

On Sunday, 10th of June, Perth got hit with a huge storm that lasted about 2 hours.  Rockingham/Mandurah bore the brunt of the storm.  On the way to church, we saw the carnage that the storm wreaked - trees down everywhere, no electricity, roofs blown off, boats washed up on the shore, many boats sunk after breaking free of the moarings.  The power of God displayed in a 2 hour storm!

The following week, we went for a walk on the beach.  The sky was blue and there was a slight breeze - a far cry from 7 days earlier.  Below are some photos of the damage on the beach.

The beaches are flat, the sand dunes washed away.

Dunes are exposed, with most footpaths and access points washed away.

A yacht washed up on the beach.

More people checking the sorry state of the beach.

A fishing boat washed up too.

Bridesmaids

Early February, Rachel's beautiful sister Jasmine married her long-time sweet-heart, Dustin Slump.  Rachel was asked to be a bridesmaid with Andrea Houweling, with Rachel's niece, Rilee Byl, the flower girl.  

All the girls in the bridal party were absolutely gorgeous, and below are some cute photos.

Andrea Houweling, the bride Jasmine, and Rachel (notice the tan!)

Rilee with Jasmine - such a big cheesy smile!

All the sisters (l to r):  Sara, Jeanette, Jasmine, Rachel and Natalie

Water Feature

I finally finished off a project I started 6 months ago - a waterfall feature in the back garden.  Yes, I know that I am an office boy, not used to working with my hands, and this tested my abilities.

Black stack stone, with a 'water-wall' projecting down the front.  Had some issues when building it, but it seems to have come up alight, and ready for use.  We'll see how long it survives!

Walker Family

For many years, there has been a part of my life missing.  A close friend that lives in Albany known as Pim (better know as Cameron Bergsma), introduced me to a wonderful family, surname Walker.  I am know the 8 year old really well.  We have had many intimate moments together, and with other friends.  I also got into a relationship with the 12 year old too.  I enjoy that one much more, and am keep to keep the love burning!!!

Then I got to meet 2 more of the family.  I met the 15 year old, and the 18 year old, and took both of them home after an expedition to Europe.  They managed to squeeze into my suitcase, and made it past customs home to Perth.  

Now, on a recent trip to Bali, I finally added the met the best of the family, the elder of them all, the beautiful, ultra attractive and geourguos 25 year old!!  Such a stunner.  Best thing about this 25 year old, it not he average one, its a select one, a model one - one of only 20,000 ever made!!  

Below are a few photos of the family!!
