You Capture ~ Play

The theme of You Capture this week is Play.  This photo of Sam and Nic was taken of the two of them dressed up in their Spiderman Costumes.  Nanna found them in the Melbourne Markets when she was shopping with Grandma.  The boys love them.

These 2 little boys are my very own Super Heroes...lol

I don't think that there is any kid that doesn't love dressing up in a costume and pretending they are someone else.  I love this photo of Sam perched up on the couch like Spiderman does..so cute    :)

Head over to Beth's blog I should be folding Laundry and have a look at all the other photos from this week!

Happy 60th Derek

I just wanted to wish my father-in-law a Happy 60th birthday!   Hope you are having a wonderful time celebrating over in Melbourne for the week!

 Looking forward to celebrating with you and all the family when you get back!

Comparing Us All..

I was looking through my photo album this weekend trying to work out if Elise looks a lot like me when we are the same age ( 4 Months). I think we look similar in the eyes and nose and the lips are scarily similar..lol...  What do you think?  The photo of me is a scanned one, so it is not the best quality but it's the best i could find!

This is a photo of Adam.  I am not really sure what age he is here.  I will have to ask him Mum.  ( He was born in 1974)..But he looks similar in age to the rest of us. Maybe a little older because he is on his dad's shoulders.   No wonder i married him look how cute he was even back then...lol

Then it got me thinking how similar all my kids look to each other.  Sam and Elise are definitely similar in looks.  When Elsie was born, you could of sworn she was a mini Sam.  Nic has always had a different look.  He has more of his dad in him than the other two.    People say my boys look similar at the age they are now, but i think they look different.  Maybe that's because i see them everyday and i know their different personalities.

So here they all are at about the same age of 4 Months, give or take a few weeks..lol..

~SAM~

~ ELISE ~

Jessica Sprague's new Beginner classes have been revamped and this is the first layout from a set of 4.  I know I have already down the beginner classes.  But it is always good to go back and refresh your skills.  I would really recommend her classes if you are keen to learn a little bit about Digi Scrapping.

So there you have it..lol
Hope you are having a good weekend!

Bedroom

I mentioned earlier in the week that i was going to show you the pictures of my new bedroom.  I didn't really know what i wanted for my birthday, but i really wanted my bedroom painted and freshened  up a little.  So Adam painted it a couple of weekends ago and i went and bought the new bed spread and picture frames for my birthday.  Adam's family gave me the lamp and teal pillow.  I think it looks fantastic!.  i didn't do too badly, but i cant say i will be going into interior designing anytime soon...lol
Ok here is the before shot~  Don't you just love the apricot walls. ( I have wanted to paint them since we moved in a year ago..)

We have got some new blinds coming aswell, but i have to wait about 3 weeks for them!

Here is the finished product ~

I think i love the picture frames the best, because i can interchange them as the kids grow up.!
The kids are now banned from my new, clean sanctuary..lol  But every time, i try and go and have 5 mins to myself in there.. i seem to have 4 little feet following behind me..

Happy Birthday Mum

I just wanted to wish my Mum .... the best birthday ever!

Love you lots xx

You Capture ~ Black & White

The theme of You Capture this week is Black and White.  You can choose any photo from the week it just has to be changed into Black and White.  This photo is of the boys and I celebrating my 34th birthday on Monday.  Elise was alseep so i couldnt get her in it aswell!

 Head over to Beth's blog I should be folding Laundry and have a look at all the other photos from this week!

Rays of Sunshine

I was finally able to get a photo of the 3 kids together.  Sam was able to hold Elise up even if it was only for a milli-second..lol... and none of them are looking at the camera, but it will have to do! 

I have it blown up 5x7 and i look at it while I'm on my laptop!.. My little treasures xx

Here is a really quick layout i did using this photo.

....and of course another one of Elise!   lol

I will be back later with photos of my newly designed bedroom..( my birthday prezzie to myself..lol..)

Happy Birthday to me!

Wow.. I turn 34 today!

Buzz Obsession

Nicholas has such a love of Buzz off the Toy Story Movies.  We have just a couple...lol.... and he calls them his friends.

How cute are these little guys.. They are from the new Duplo lego.

He also has T-shirts, jocks, singlets, Pj's and slippers...lol.

.. then Nic being Nic at the moment starts picking them up and throwing them at me..

 Shouting to "Infinity and Beyond.."

Look at the smirk on his face.. the cheeky little monkey! 

 I swear he was purposely trying to get me with them...

Look at Poor Buzz in the corner of this photo...lol......

Photo 365 July ~ Part 1

Here are my photos for the first part of July.  I look back and i can see a really busy month catching up with all my teacher friends who have been on holidays and i also see how fast Elise is growing... and of course the infamous adventures of Nicholas John...lol

....Still Here

I'm still here but just been busy trying to not kill my 2 and a half yr old...lol
Sam never ever went through the so called " Terrible Twos.."  but geez Nic is giving me a run for my money.. He is exhausting me!  
It is also still the second week of the school holidays.
The best i have for you today is some pictures of Elise.  But she is getting very cute!

There you go Dad something different to look at while you eat your lunch...lol...

Dad has been giving me heaps saying that he wanted something new to look at. He was getting bored of looking at the same photo from the last post...lol.. cheeky!!

Hopefully i can keep it more updated after the school holidays.  I haven't even been able to do any scrapping.  Nic is taking all of my time and energy at the moment..lol... I am thinking i might just go and tie him to the chair so i can get some things done.. What do you think..lol  ?
