Open Season

Today we had our first swim in the pool for the year.  The boys were so excited !!!

 Elise loved the water. She splashed and smiled the whole time

 The boys got straight into jumping straight in and going under.

It is going to be a great Summer!!!!

8 Months

Cant believe that Elise is 8 months... Such a gorgeous girl... she has definitely come alive now..
I'm starting to think we look very similar..lol.. especially the big eyes :)

She is laughing and squealing at the top of her voice.  She rolls everywhere, is just about up on her haunches rocking back and forth, so I'm assuming shell be on the move in the imminent future...

These are the same photos in colour and black and white.  Just been practising my black and white using photoshop..lol..
Im off out tonight with the Kindy mums for an end of year drink...yay!!  .....may "Mr Hangover" be very kind to me tomorrow....ha ah ah ha...

Albany Photos ~ Part 2

Here are the last of my photos from Albany..

It was such a great holiday, the boys have asked many times this week, when are we going back to Albany..lol
 This is probably my favourite photo of the Holiday.. Its me and my babies..

Hope you have had a good week.. A busy weekend for us, hoping to also get in the pool for our first swim of the year!

Albany Photos ~ Part 1

Here are some photos from the first few days on our trip away to Albany.  I took 477 photos ( crazy..lol) , but probably only 150 were any good.  So i figured the easiest way to show you some of my great shots is to mask them onto a Digi template.

This was Elise's first trip to the beach.  It was a bit cold to go swimming as you can see by the jumpers we are all wearing.. lol... But she loved playing in the sand.

 We took the boys fishing to Emu Point.  There were no fish biting which was a bit of s shame bu the boys loved it anyway.  I was slightly worried about them climbing over the rocks, but they loved it.  Sam stuck at it a little longer than Nic did... he was more interested in throwing pebbles into the water..lol

 This was the same arvo we took Elise to the Beach.. The boys couldn't swim, but loved taking their buckets and spades down and making sand castles and running along the beach with the ball.

We went to a couple of playgrounds while we were there.  Sam loves playgrounds, he would make me take him one to everyday if i let him...lol.  We also took the boys to the Batavia pirate ship.. They were able to climb down into it and walk around inside which was a lot of fun.

Will post some more photos tomorrow... Im still trying to unpack from the week.  It would have to be one of the worst jobs ever..lol..  with loads of washing to do and putting away toys and books and beach gear, it just seems to take forever.  I will probably still be doing it by the end of the week..lol.. Will keep you posted.

Had a great Holiday

Well I'm back from our week's holiday down in Albany. Had a really great week spending time at the beach, playing on the play grounds, riding bikes , walking and spending great quality time with Granma and Grandad.

I have taken a heap of photos and will hopefully get them up on here over the next few days.

Off on Holiday

So if you are looking for me over the next week, I will be down holidaying in Albany with my family and Adam's parents.  Really looking forward to a break away, boy do i need one!...lol

Digi Layout

Earlier in the week there was a Link over at the Designer House Blog which gave you links to several blogs to collect parts of a Fall Digi kit. I challenged Tracey over at A Luscious Journey to collect the kit and create a layout using only that kit.  I also did the same and then we were to post the layouts on our blogs.. It is amazing how each of our layouts are soooooooooooo different even though we have used the same kit. There was no reason for this challenge at all.. it was a " just because"...lol

You should head over to Tracey's blog and check out her layout.  It is great.  For someone who as only been scrapping for a couple of months she is very good !!

Welcome Summer!

Welcome Summer... May you bring us lots of Sunny days so we can enjoy the sunshine playing in the pool together!!

 Now i know its not Summer yet but with the weather getting to 37 yesterday here in Perth, the kids enjoyed the afternoon playing in the little pools.  We cant swim in our big pool yet, Adam just needs to sort it out first.  But kids had just as much fun in this pool!!

Do you know what spins me out the most is that last year there was only these two cheeky monkeys enjoying the pool.  Now we have another little cheeky monkey ( Elise) who loves the water as much as they do....lol

( Dec 2009)

 Can you tell that Nic is my mischievous one..lol!!!!

Hope you are having a good week :)
