Catch Up......



Regan is all grown up.... this is a picky of her coming home from her maiden voyage around the block on her bike ..alone.. It's a couple of weeks old now and weve only had a couple of minor scares .... mainly to do with the fact that she has no sence of time and tends to stay out way longer than I think is necessary .... and a few days ago she went out on her brothers bike and managed to come off because she had got her shoelace tied up in the chain.... luckily a friend of mine saw her on the side of the road and untangled the mess before sending her home... I have a 45min timeframe on her before I start looking and since she came off only 5 min away from home she might of been waiting a while....


The boys toys



Weekend before last we were meant to go up to Dorigo on the bikes and meet up with Shanes brother and his mates from Gooniwindi ...they rang the Thur to tell us that it had flooded near them and that they couldn't get the bikes off their properties.... but we set off regardless ... it was a little overcast when we left ..... raining at Kranback ...... and absolutely pouring at Gloucester ( so much so that the rain was hurting my legs) ..... we rang friends in Armidale who said it was sleeting and the pub in Dorigo who let us know that it had been raining there for three days ... we had lunch and a drink at the pub .... debated staying there for the weekend and then much to our discuss we decided to turn back home and send the following to the Goondiwindi clan (all of which ride Harleys and Triumphs)



Last Wed was our P&F AGM and for many reasons not worth listing here I resigned as president after two years .... it was a hard decision but definantly the right one .... anyway the school staff sent me these on friday....
how very nice of them....



The new little car "Mini Mit" has been delegated to the kids and I and now I only seem to get into the Pajero on the weekend .... so anyway the kids have decided that they will wash it for pocket money..... and as you can imagine...





They wouldn't let us help so I think they'll have to wash it every weekend and hopefully by the end of each month all bits of it would of been cleaned at least once.

And for the scrapbooking....

My folks were here at chrissy and I finally got around to scrapping the photos... sorry grandpop but I couldn't fit your 'grand' on the title....



and the Chrissy LO's just keep coming.... this is one I did for the March Challange over at the Scrapsidaisy Forum...



Till next time...

A photo a day???

For years I've been watching others do their 365 day projects and they always seemed just that little to hard to commit to ... but this year I have decided to join in ..... so, I have decided to take a photo a day and enter it into a calendar over at shuttercal ... you can follow my pics over at the sidebar ....
this was day 1



Next time I might lash out and buy them a milk each .....



Now on the scrapbooking front...

The following are a couple of LO's and a card that I made from all the goodies in this months design team pack from Scrapsidaisy ... I really had fun with this lot and am very much liking the PEACE LO of Regan ... (how beautiful is my girl)....







and a card I made for Rhi at work ... poor girl just turned 21 and she is working with a bunch of 30+ women ..... she seems to be enjoying herself though and very much appreciated the Pandora bracelet we gave her ... now I bet she's wishing we'd hold up on all the motherly advise and all would be well .....



Of course it was Aarons B'day last month and I finally got around to doing his LO .... you would think that being a scrapper for so long I would make sure to take lots of great photos on such a monumental day but alas events happened before I noticed and these were the only decent photos I have ..... bring on birthday no. 9...



Those of you that know us know that Aaron has his 'ways' ... being very flexable is one of them ... he can do all sorts of weird things like touch the inside of his forearm with his thumb and can also sit like this .....
still makes me shiver sometimes ....





Till later ...
