Barak turned 9 .. Happy Birthday Darling ...

Our Barak had a birthday on the 11th of this month and I have not blogged about that yet (norti nanni).. so I am thinking I should do that now ...... before I totally forget ... 

He turned 9 and is another one of my precious grandson's who came into the world earlier than expected .. by approximately 5 weeks ... very very tiny and oh so very loved ... 

Barak in the early days ... he was 5 days old in this photo

and here he is .. 5 months later ... seems the early arrival didn't hurt him too much ... 

 Ok ... this is how the day started ... with Dad and Mum in the kitchen making breakfast for the lad ... 

just as ordered by the birthday boy ... 

and Poppy giving the birthday boy a big hug ... not everyday you get to turn 9 years old mate ... 

and after our oh so yummy breakie ... of scrambled eggs and toasted cheese rolls

(aka - heart attack in disguise)

we got to watch the pressies getting unwrapped ... 

And here he is with his spoils ... a couple of DVD's ... a couple of Wii games ... a pair of jeans and a Tshirt .. a pair of skate shoes ... and some excellent Lego ... looks like one happy little chappy ... 

but Chance is here to tell us something ... 

What was that mate?? ... Barak has to come outside?? ... OK .. but I think he wants to build his lego ... 

But why does Mum have to do this ???? must be something he isn't allowed to see ... or ... maybe Mum just wants to push him down the stairs without him knowing it is coming .. haha ... 

no .. that's not it ... there really is something else for him to see ... !!!!!!!!!!!!! 

WOW .. check it out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am getting the idea that he likes this pressie too ...

Oh ... what .. you can't ride a motorbike ... oh dear ... that is sad ... 

but he certainly took to it like a duck takes to water ... 

he honestly could not ride a bike before this ... pretty good for a beginner me thinks .. 

Go Barak ... !!!!!!!!!!!

and there was NO stopping him ... he did this all day ... up and down the driveway ..

then up and down the road way ... and then took to the lane-way ... I thought he was going to head for the highway ... but he stuck to inside the property fences so that was good ... lol

Cameron was feeling a little left out cos he doesn't have a bike .. yet ... so dad got the quad out for him ... 

ahhh .... happy boy .... 

didn't see too much of him for the rest of the day either ... 

and Brodie got his bike out ... and was gone ... 

Daddy took Chance for a little ride around the yard ... and up the dirt track ... he came back with a grin as big as a dinner plate and more dirt on him than we knew what to do with ... but he was another happy little chappy ... 

and what is a day with the bikes without a breakdown ... 

but it is ok .. 

the men have it under control ... 

well there is a lot of head down and bum up here ... 

but eventually they got it back up and running .. and Brodie was off again ... 

Later that day .. Barak did get to make up his Lego sets ... and don't they look great .. 

then came dinner and his cake ...

oh my Mummy certainly did make a big cake ... didn't she .. haha .. 

and it too ... was ... oh sooooooooooooo yummy .... 

Happy Birthday Barak .... love you my darling ...
