I've been scrapbooking..

How hot was it yesterday??... it hit over 40 at my abode, I ended taking the kids and a few friends to the local pool for a while and then came home to the airconditioning to finish this.....
it was taken during the olympics last year....
(it's not really as wonky as it looks... the heat warped the paper a bit ?!?..



this one I did a while ago .... it's the most gorgeous photos or Aaron with all his guns and swords saving the flowers from Shane and his cultivator in the vegi patch...


these are the month by month of the kids for 08 ... done in the first month of 09 ... very impressed with myself.. useing stuff from pip prossers kit again..





and just a couple of cards using the left over "stuff" from the surfing LO of Regan....





how cute is this guy... there seems to be heaps of them around at the moment and I couldn't resist taking a shot.....

Till later....

I just love........



that these two love to play footsies when they're having brecky...

We've had a busy week or two..... I was called back to work on Wed because they were getting so busy .... i wasn't impressed but the kids took it quite well ... I think they enjoyed spending the last few days with dad.... on Tue a log truck came speeding around the corner in front of the shop blasting its horn and within seconds the whole thing had rolled over and there were logs everywhere... we rushed out and thank God it was early and there weren't many cars or people about. .. somehow the driver managed to get out ( a bit worse for wear) and had only damaged one car ..... we all spent the morning in a very hyped up state......

The Moodys came down from Armidale last weekend for a very relaxing and enjoyable stay ... definantly our turn to head up there next time... Aarons had parties, Regans had visits and sleepovers and unfortunantly come monday Shane has to return to work as well... the kids will spend the next week and (something) with Nan.



Couldn't resist this shot ...Aaron is very taken with his new priate ship...

Regan, Danielle and I made Pancakes for brecky on Sat morning which they decided would be much better blue.....that was great to start with.....





but I don't think Regan was really keen...

and finally I am slowly but surely catching up on my scrapping - I think this photo is from June...... and no Mum I havn't forgoten about your cards.... they're still in the pipeline.

Welcome to the New Year







We spent the new year swimming and riding and eating and drinking at Aunty Karens farm... what a beautiful place...check out the scenery ... Regan managed to come off her bike by riding between the shed and cattle yards and falling over just before heading down the bank to the river .... "but I had nowhere to go" she said .???... can you see anything but open spaces..... we'll have to replace the brake lever this week....

Apart from that we've just been hanging at home, the beach, the familys place and enjoying the time off ... I know it will be over way too soon...
I've even managed to do some scrapbooking..



This one is using the gear I got from Pip Prossers site... how perfect was all that surfing paper....I pretty much copied her layout...it just seemed to fit really well..

... and finally the kids school photos for their school albums...





The kids are looking a bit scruffy this year... we were away at Royal Far West when the photos were taken ... -I was most upset that Aaron wasn't in his kindi class shot- ... so the individual photos were a fluke as the photographer was there to take the sports team photos and I grabed him in the office... never the less, scruffy or not it's them as they really are on any given day..
