The Edge Prize Pool Party

If you dont listen to The Edge FM then your missing out on ALOT of laughter....! Especially with Fletch and Vaughan! They never fail to make me laugh....

They had a prize pool party at Sky City....basically it was just that the hotel pool was filled with prizes...and they had to be dived in after...!! Was pretty awesome, I went up to check it out and to listen to Justin Sane djing....I had a little pre giggle on Facebook on Justin's Page with someone who was commenting on safety and how dangerous what they were doing was...and that people would die...so I said I would go down and double check they were behaving....we had a right laugh about it all at the end me and Justin...!

Here I am with F&V

RIP Uncle Peter Withy

RIP PETER MICHAEL WITHY

7th May 1934 - 13th March 2010

Such a lovely service and a very large turn out today to my Uncle's funeral. My first funeral Ive been to where I have actually taken photos of it, I dont know why I did, but something about it made me want to capture the feelings....might scrap it. I also got to see the graves of my ancestors who came over from Wales to NZ...it was very surreal seeing their graves...Ive seen photos of them that are held at the Whakatane Museum.

It was a little mini family reunion in a way too! I told my Aunty Margaret (who is my Uncle Peter's sister as well as my Nana's) that we had to have a big family reunion again, we had one in 2002 a few months before my niece was born, she said it was a great idea, i said we will see you in two years for it then..!

Few pics from the burial and my ancestors graves.

Death in the Family...

RIP PETER WITHY

Been a bit of a rough day, I have spent it out with the crew from Unite Union (I will post a proper blog on this in the next few weeks or so..) I had a phone call from my mum asking me what time I was going to be home - we had known for a while that Uncle Peter wasnt doing well health wise, so it was expected to happen we were just waiting, mum had a call from her mum saying that Uncle Peter passed away. I had a little cry about it and decided it was time to head home to be with mum knowing she was close to her Uncle somewhat....

Unfortunately, I was driving my car which had its registration expired on it again...Im usually petty careful with this, and Im known to drive around for a couple of weeks until I can afford to renew my rego, I was waiting for money still to come through from the wedding invites I had done in Jan of this year...to pay for it longer than I usually go for - it was dark I was upset and I was travelling on a road that is having serious road works done on it, and I know that going into the city it is a 80km zone however I had never noticed that going south the other way it is 70kms....this isnt the first time Ive had this problem with roads having two speed limits in the same area but in different direction for example my first speeding fine - but out of no where a cop appear and he did me over big time, not even telling him I was on my way home to my mothers who just lost her uncle...he didnt really care, infact he was so rude he just dumped my ticket in my car window and drove off....he didnt even explain the conditions of how to go about paying for the fine - I was fined for speeding and for having no rego but given 14 days to get me rego and that would be wiped....though he didnt tell me I had to apply for that and stuff..!

I was so upset it took me a long time to start driving back home after being pulled over..I had to ring mum...usually Im one who tries to keep my fines away from her...! Just awaiting for funeral details to come through, Im partly excited about driving down to Whakatane to where my family is from....its going to be like a mini road trip..hehe...

Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends

We went and saw Thomas again this year at Glenbrook Steam Railway...!! We took the older two kids out, I wish we could have taken James, the first time we went my sister was pregnant with him....it would have been so cool to have taken him and seen the look on his face!! Last time we caught the train in, but this time I decided to drive out.

Ironically Michael reacted very simular to what he did in 2008 to the Fat Controller....lol..! Lucky I have some Thomas Paper left so I can scrap some of these pics....

Happy 28th Birthday Andrew!!!

♬ ♪ HAPPY 28th BIRTHDAY DJ DREWYZ!!!! ♪ ♬

Jamie is going to grow up to be a DJ!!

My nephew and me were going for a drive to Botany Downs the other week to pick up a belt for me to wear to Splash.....and I was playing a CD in my car by Dj Obiwan or something like that - its a random CD I found in my sister's room when she use to live at  home...I just kinda you know walked off with it to my room.....and havent given it back...I actually lost it for a few years...! But I found it again...!

But we were driving and next moment my nephew is sitting in his carseat in the backseat of my car dancing to the music...I had to tell Drew about it...so I tested him further on music and to some of Drewyz mixes....so this is the video I made just for Uncle Drew....his youngest fan dances to Drewyz Late Night Mix...!
