Krissy's Catch-up...

Digi Layouts / Cooking / Funny photos of Nic

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:36:00 +0000

Here are a couple of digi layouts i have done lately.. The first 2 are using the same template but different papers and embellishments.. I love how you can use the same template ( sketch) but the layout can look totally different.

This one is using the photo of me at 20 weeks.. I don't think i have ever scrapped in purple before..

Ok the other day Sam and I decided to bake some biscuits.. So i want you to imagine nice shortbread coloured choc chip biscuits.... ha ha ha.. Now have a look at what happens when you forget that the timer on the oven has gone off and the next thing you smell is burning.. I def. wont be the next Master chef.. Lucky this was the last batch and we had cooked 2 more before these ones that turned out ok..

Have to share a couple of funny photos of Nic with you.. His latest when he doesn't get his way it to throw his hands over his face and cry..

Not Quite sure how the finger ended up in his nose.. ha ha

Hope you are having a good weekend.. !

Photo Update and Lunch out with the Girls..

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:13:00 +0000

Well I spent the day on Sunday out to Lunch with my girlfriends from Uni. Kelly ( purple top) celebrated her birthday yesterday and is also heading away up to Darwin next year for work so she decided to splurge and have a day out in a Limo and then move onto Sitella winery in the Swan Valley for Lunch. It was such a lovely day and the weather was perfect!

This is the black Hummer we were in for the couple of hours before lunch. It was a a lot of fun.

This is a photo of Deb and me ( not a bad selfie i took... lol)

The Hummer even had Karaoke.. which was quite funny!!

Can you tell I am going to be the next Australian Idol.. ha ha ha... ( NOT...)

It was a bit sad when i was the only one not drinking and this is the shocking photo of me... lol...

Kel and Rach having their go at Karaoke..

Our friend Bianca was able to make the trip from Bunbury for the day and it was so lovely to catch up with her as well. It has been too long.. With us all have kids now, it is sometimes hard to try and catch up more often.

Sitella Winery was just beautiful, as always!!.. I did manage to have one glass of wine with ,y lunch which was very enjoyable!

PHOTO UPDATE - Here is a photo of my belly at 20 weeks.. Not too much to show just yet..

I just love this photo I took of the boys last week.. It has to be my new favourite i think.. They are way too cute xx

It's a Girl..

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 05:03:00 +0000

Well we are very excited to say we are having a PINK one.... Adam and I went off to the scan today, very nervous but excited at the same time. Deep down i was hoping for a girl but i was too scared to wish for it.. when the lady told us we were having a princess, I cried and I'm sure i saw a little tear in Adam's eye.. ha ha ( Don't tell him i told you..!!)

This is a view of the top of the head..

This is the leg..

I think this one is my favourite.. t is picture of her little feet.. ( wow feels weird to type the word her.. lol)

Her little face peeking through..

and this is a gorgeous 3D shot of the side of her face with her little hand..

I think I am going to be on cloud nine all day!! Thanks to everyone who has been so excited for us xx..

( Did you notice I have changed my blog to PINK... ha ha... thought i might have to get used to this colour..)

19 weeks

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:08:00 +0000

Well I can't believe i am actually posting these photos on here..they are SHOCKING!!!
I haven't washed my hair and there is some weird shadow thing going on in the photos ( i think it's the white wall behind that doesn't help.. ha ha)
But here are some photos of me at 19 weeks.. We are off to have our 20 week scan on Monday morning, so I ma looking forward to seeing the baby on the screen again.. It feels like it's been ages since we were last able to see the baby..

Have a good weekend, whatever you are doing!!

Say Cheese..

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:18:00 +0000

Have you ever wondered what photos a 3 and a half year old would take if you gave him a camera.. Well on the weekend i gave Sam my old point and shoot Sony camera and this is what it took.. I think they are classic.. It kept him entertained for ages on Sunday. He took over 200 photo, many were of nothing but here is a sample of what he took..

I Love this last one.. It makes me laugh !!

How could I tell him off...

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:51:00 +0000

These pictures probably don't do the story justice, but I'll tell it anyway....

During Nic's sleep today i said to Sam that i was going to close my eyes on the couch and have a rest as well and he could sit and do something quietly.. So after about half an hour i woke to find Sam sitting among a whole lot of white paper and he had used his scissors to cut into EVERY piece of white paper that was in his scrapping box... I asked him.. " Sam what are you doing cutting all those papers?.." and he says to me.." Mum i am just practising my cutting for school.." it made me laugh... Thank God the papers were anything important..

... and as for Nic... Well maybe i shouldn't have iced our cup-cakes with red icing ... it stains!!

Here is my latest digital layout.. I used the paper sketch over at CPC

and i turned it digital... came out pretty well!!

Raphael

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:38:00 +0000

Sam has fallen in love with the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles at the moment.. especially the red one " Raphael ".. I did this layout using a template. He got this costume the other when we went shopping with grandma and I think would have slept in it if I let him.. ha ha!!
He watches the DVD over and over again and thinks that he is Raphael..

Meeting

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 05:12:00 +0000

Today something made me stop and think that I can't believe this is happening already.. Where has the time gone??
Tonight Adam and I are going to a Kindy information evening for Sam, for next year. I can't believe that 4 years has already passed and he will be starting school next year. He is so looking forward to going to school to " play with all the kids..", he is a real social butterfly like me.. ha ha ha!!

Playing with Photoshop

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:12:00 +0000

WOWSERS.... I am pleased with my photoshop efforts today.. I have been playing around with turning my photos Black and white, and I think they turned out Super Dooper, if i don't say so myself.... ha ha ha !!

Do Not Disturb..

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 06:06:00 +0000

This layout was done using what is called a "Quick page".. which is where you just add a photo to the layout that has been designed by someone else.. This QP is called Tool Shed and was created by CT STeph.
I think it is such a classic photo.. ha ha ha.. They are both sitting there reading one of Adam's Mountain Bike magazines!!

The Pool got it's First workout...

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 09:24:00 +0000

With the weather temperature hitting 37 degrees yesterday it was a great chance to let the boys have their first swim in the pool.. Sam has been itching to go swimming in it since we moved in, so it was great to see the excitement on his face when it finally happened.. ..( however, he has done nothing but ask to go swimming every five minutes all weekend... lets hope the novelty wears off soon... ha ha ha!!!)

Here is a layout i did using the park photos from the other day...

I have got some great photos of the boys in their new sand pit to share with you tomorrow...

Bring on the Sunshine..

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 23:35:00 +0000

The best thing about the Sunshine is that I can get the boys outside to burn off some of the infinite energy that they just seem to have.. Yesterday we went to the Bayswater park and had a play, then took the bikes for a ride. It was such a great morning spent with Lesley, Reuben and Keira.

After a play we had a picnic morning tea under the trees..

Using Templates

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:34:00 +0000

Here a few quick layouts i did using 3 different templates. It is the same as using a sketch if you were paper scrapping. They aren't my best efforts, but I haven't done any scrapping for such a long time, at least it is something..ha ha!

Have a good day!

I love this Season

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 02:16:00 +0000

Does anyone love the beginning of this season as much as I do??

Nic's new bike..

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 11:46:00 +0000

Here is a few photos of Nic on his new bike.. Thanks to Mum and Dad who bought it for him.. ( a very early birthday prezzie..) He is slowly getting the hang of it!!

You may have noticed the black eye that Nic has!! OUCH... the poor little guy was running and tripped out the back and landed head first into our outside wooden table and chairs..

Here are a few photos of the boys helping Adam build their new sandpit, out the back.. Hopefully it will be finished by next weekend..

I love these ones of Nic helping Adam hammer the wood..way too cute!!

Hopefully I will have a much quieter week this week.. things are just way to hectic and I think my body is saying... Kris would you just slow down!!!

Jolliffe's Come to Stay..

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 07:11:00 +0000

Well it has been a great couple of days.. My cousin Tania and her 3 kids ( Sarah, Ash and Mitch)came to stay at our house for 3 days.. Sam absolutely loved having them here to play with. We don't get to see them as much as i would like.. which might be a good thing because i think if Tan lived in Perth we would forever be having cuppas at each others house..

On Thursday we took all the kids to the show. It was such a good day and Sam was most excited about wearing his new TMNT t-shirt..ha ha..

Nic liked the animals

I love this photo of Mum and Sam on the Merry-go-round..

I took Nic on the little truck roller-coaster.. He liked most of it but got a little teary towards the end and wanted to get off.

Here is Sarah and Ash and Mitch on the roller coaster as well..

I love this one of Mitch waving.. It is very cute!!

We spent today playing out the back.. It was such a lovely day here.

They have now gone home and I know Sam for one will miss them.. Can't wait to go down and stay with them soon..

I am off to work the moonlight scrap tonight.. Hopefully I won't fall asleep.. ha ha!!

Have a good weekend!

Photo of me..

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 07:11:00 +0000

Thought it would be a good idea to take a photo of me at 12/13 weeks.. Haven't got any bump to show yet.. I am actually lighter than i was when I finished at weight watchers earlier in the year, because i didn't feel like eating while i was feeling so nauseous... which i must say, is easing a lot..Thank goodness.. So i am sure that now my eating has returned I won't stay like this for long..ha ha ha.

We have a busy few days ahead of us.. My cousin Tania and her kids are coming up from Margaret river to stay for 3 days and we are taking the kids to the show on Thursday so i am looking forward to spending time with them.

I am teaching a kids class down at Tomorrow's memories on Wednesday, which will be a lot of fun to catch up with everyone down there.. been too long!!

Here are a few photos of the boys helping adam with the weeding on the weekend..

New layout

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 06:35:00 +0000

I did a digital layout using some of the ultrasound photos from the other day.

It didn't come out too badly.

12 Week Scan

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 08:26:00 +0000

Today we had our 12 week scan for Baby Sparkes... It is such a relief to go and see that all is ok.. Even though I was pretty sure it was going to be because i have been so sick and nauseous..Always in the back of your mind you just never know..
Well I am not sure if you can see what is in each ultrasound picture , but i'll try and explain them to you..

Full Body shot..

Head / Face (facing downwards)

Arm / Hand

Leg..( I think?? ha ha)

3D Body shot ( umbilical cord)

Another 3D shot but I think the arms are in the way

Back and Bottom with legs..

Hope you had a good weekend, ours was pretty busy and I am paying for it today with pretty bad nausea..YUCK!!

A month has gone by

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 07:25:00 +0000

Well i am finally back on-line. It has taken 3 and a half weeks for me to get my Internet connection relocated to our new house. It's amazing how lost you feel with out having any internet..
SO much has happened since i last posted. We finished packing up our old house, moved into our new house and found out we were having another baby.. OMG.. i'm just exhausted typing all of that.. ha ha ha
Here are a couple of updated photos of the boys..

I haven't done much scrapping either paper or digital over the last month, but i did get a chance to do this one.

I have my 12 week scan next week, so hoping that all is ok with bub..

I have been as sick as a dog with all day nausea, but i must say it is easing slightly. It's more prominent when i'm tired..( ha ha .. but hey who wouldn't be with 2 little boys running around!)

Well it is good to be back on line and hopefully I can get back into blogging!!

Really Busy Moving House

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 23:14:00 +0000

Hiya everyone,
It is a mad house here at the moment. We are moving house at the end of the week, so I haven't had time to Blog much. Hopefully after this week is over, I'll be back with some layouts or photos, but until then I probably won't be blogging until next week!!

Froggy Cupcakes

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 03:16:00 +0000

Not sure if any of you have seen the latest New Idea this week, but they have got the cutest cupcake decorating ideas for 4 little animals. Something about supporting the RSPCA.. So anyway Mum and I decided to make the Little frogs with the boys yesterday..
This is the first time that Nic has actually sat up and been a part of the cooking.. He loved his first taste of the beaters as well.
( Don't you just love the song I added to my playlist for this Post...LOL)

Sam helping mum put the eyes on.

The Best part of all, according the Nic is the eating.. LOL

How cute do they look...

Well the dreaded cold has finally caught up with me today.. I have been trying the avoid it for such a long time and thought I was doing well... ha ha ha. Poor Sam is sneezing everywhere as well so I think he might be getting another one as well... Bring on Summer is all I can say!!

Only one week to go and we will have moved into our new house. So I can't avoid to be too sick.. Doesn't this cold know that I have to pack.. ha ah ah!!

PINK - FunHouse Concert

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 00:42:00 +0000

OH MY GOD... Did I not possibly have one of the best nights of my life last night.. Pink's Concert was amazing.. She definitely puts on an awesome show.. Her singing, the stage and costumes were awesome as well..
Would you Listen to me, I sound like a crazed fan don't I...ha ha ha...LOL
Anyway, we had the best tickets ever and I was probably only about 10 people back from the front of the stage.. We danced and sang and couldn't stop smiling and laughing the whole night. Took some pictures ( just a few hundred...ha ha ha) Some are good and some a re a little fuzzy, because it was really hard to keep the camera still, when you are getting bumped and danced into the whole night...ha ha ha...LOL
Anyway here are a few of the photos from the night!!

Kelly and me before we went in, we were so excited ( well I was anyway...LOl)

Evermore was the band before hand and they were great as well...

Rach, Me and Deb and Kelly..

LOOK how close I was... Whoooo hoooooo!

Do you like this photo.. i love how her face is on the big screen in the background..

I will not forget this night for a long time... I can not wait for it to come out on DVD next year so I can watch it all over it again...LOL

noreply@blogger.com (Kris) — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 12:29:00 +0000

I have become slightly addicted to this website at the moment.. Even Sam will sit there and do the puzzles with me...ha ha ha ....You can actually give this one a go if you like!!!
I think it is a major procrastination element to stop me from packing!!
