Weekend Away @ Bermi

We went away to Bermi for the weekend,
because Mark had a long weekend at work..
The weather was good,
a bit cold and windy on the friday but otherwise it was good!!
Got to test drive my new camera which was even better :D
These are just a few of my faves,
just randomly picked
and in no particular order..
Gorgeous little pic of Zayne..
He wasn't sure about the beach,
the waves scared him and i dont think he liked the
feel of the sand under his feet.
He loved it after the initial dislike though..

This one of Tani was taken on the beach as well...
she was building sandcastles.
I had a play with the settings on this one
to get the brightness and blurry background...
Just a random..
We went for a drive down to cuttagee and there were a pair of shoes
on the poles next to the steps, one on each pole..
lol
Jed helping his brother out in the water..
Once Zayne went in he didnt want to get out,
he just kept going back for more..
and he chucked a tanty when it was time to go.. :(
Tani and Jed.
Playing on the play equipment at the school
while we were at the spring fair.
Jed at the beach.. played with settings again
At the school
Little tootsies at the beach..
arent they fat and cute!
At the beach, not sure about it all!


These are really just a few,

have sooo many favourites.

Some Scrapping.

Have done a few pages lately
It's been so long since I took pics of my pages
they are all very crooked, blurry and just not the best.






Not very chatty today,

it's just one of them days,

the weather is shit, raining, muggy, sweaty and just blah.

Makes for a crappy, unmotivated day.

and my kids are driving me bonkers :8(

Now He's ONE


We celebrated Zayne's first birthday and his Naming Day last saturday..
The weather held off for it and it was a lovely afternoon in the park with family and friends.
I was a bit worried it would rain through as it has been non stop for weeks on end... :-(
Just a few quick things this month as he really hasn't changed much in a month..
Zayne is:
  • Now 13.82kg
  • 81cm long
  • Walking/running very well and non stop
  • Always on the go..
  • Now standing up his own in the middle of the room. Started doing that a month ago after his 11 month post.
  • So funny, always has us cacking ourselves over the funny things he does.
  • Very loving. Loves to give cuddles, and does the pat on the back thing while he is doing it lol. I don't get them very often but everyone else does... :(
  • Totally obsessed with remotes, computer "mouses" and phones....
  • Loves anything with a cord attatched and will walk around with it for hours on end.. eg, his toy phone, Tani's lovely pink toy phone, mega-sketcher, old telstra phone. He cracks it when they get caught on something though.
  • Sporting a very bashed up looking forehead this week.. Had a couple of incidents that left him with some bruises and grazes... :(
  • Has really learn't what "NO" and "TA" mean. Doesn't always care lol, but he knows...
  • Still needs alot of attention, he has most definately been my most demanding baby.
  • 2 - 3 bottles per day, and 3 meals. Loves his weet-bix, yoghurt and veggies.
  • Loves his bath time each night, still a massive fight getting him dressed.
  • Still only 4 teeth... Thaught he would have some more by now as he goes through "teething" alot. They just take forever to appear!

He is just so lovely, and I love him to bits..

A couple of piccies from his day.



Don't like the way they make wrapping paper these days,
Dont know how many times Zayne choked on it....

With his Beach Nanny^^
All the godparents^^
Tegan, Craig, Sheri and Muli.
Unfortunately didnt get any nice pics with Me and Mark and Zayne,
just havent thaught to take one, but didnt with the other 2 either... :(
Aaaaw I love this pic... So happy to wander on his own! (outside... lol)

I made these as his party bags..
They looked great, but oh what a pain to make lol.
Me and my big ideas........

Friday, October 2, 2009

I miss you my babies!!!

I took this pic before Tani and Zayne left for Mum's at Bermi
yesterday (thursday) morning.
I really didn't want them to go, and I cried and cried.
Dumb I know but I couldn't help it :(
Love you and Miss you both sooooo much!!
They will be there for around a week.
I'm hoping it will go fast coz I am going to be quite busy.
I have worked the last 2 days.
Camping tomorrow night.
Hopefully floriade monday.
Possibly working tuesday, lol who knows these days.
and helping Karen get her new shop ready to open!
Only a week to go and my gorgeous little bubba is one!

At 11 Months Zayne:

  • Has 2 bottles during the day, 1 during the night.
  • Has 4 little toothies. His top 2 came through just after I put up his 10 month pics.

He is now awake from his nap so I better go, can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

Us 5 and Craig went to Batlow and had a bbq lunch with Dad and Auni,
the weather was beautiful and lunch was delicious!!
The kids had fun running around with Maggie the dog

We went for a drive up bush when we got home
and I got some nice sunset pics,
then got yummy wing cheng when we got home.
It was a nice relaxing day..
This pic taken at Dad's.
Zayne REALLY wanted that beer!!
The kids blowing bubbles..

10 Months

Zayne turned 10 months on monday,
these pics were all taken that day..
He was absolutely miserable,
Not sure if it was his top teeth moving up and down or if he was sick.
But he had so much snot it was ridiculous..
So no smiley pics this time, lol, you just get him as he was...

So at 10 Months Zayne is:
  • 12.6 kg.. He is such a chunky bubba!!
  • 76.5cm long.. Quite short compared to his weight..
  • Walking... He toddles all over the place now, would much rather walk than crawl although crawling gets him there much quicker. Sometimes he can walk the length of the house othertimes he gets only a few steps and falls on his bum.. All part of the learning process though and I'm sure he will be running in no time lol. (First steps July 24th.. 9 1/2 Months)
  • Playing with the kids a lot more. He absolutely adores Jed, and often follows him around like a little puppy dog :0)
  • Eating soooo much more of our foods. Haven't actually seen him reject anything in his 9th month that I can recall. He has eaten things he wouldn't even let get near his mouth a few months ago... Including Spaghetti Bog, Lasagna, Enchilada's, Tuna Casserole, Plenty of Meats and Veg. He loves his Veggies, especially greens like Broccoli, Zucchini etc. He will now even eat mashed potato.. So massive improvement there!!
  • He has taken to pulling things out of drawers. Especially Jed's clothes and our DVD's.
  • Waving. When he feels like it, doesn't yet put it to a Hello or Goodbye.
  • Pointing. He often points and yells 'DO DO DO DO' lol, you really feel told off when he does it to you. I often get it in the afternoon when Mark gets home, lol like he is telling on me.. Not sure what it is I do wrong lol....
  • Clapping. Once again when he feels like it. He does often clap when he is standing up though, thinks he's pretty clever.
  • Can now hold his own bottle, on occasion, he has been very lazy in doing that!! He would rather swing it around and play with it though.
  • Loves his bath time, think it is his favourite time of the day. Still puts up the biggest fight when getting dressed after the bath though.. It's funny he only does it after his bath.... In the mornings he is fine..?
  • Wearing size 0's and 1's.. Depending on the actual clothes, both are fitting him quite well. And size 5 shoes.. OMG he is such a spoilt little bugger with his clothes and shoes. He has soooo many..... :-) he he
  • Had the most horrible month for sleeping. Waking everynight between around 10.45pm and 12.30pm, and then would not sleep unless he was in our bed. Then he would kick the crap out of me all night, and wake everytime he moved or I moved... Very very frustrating. I had the biggest black bags under my eyes I had ever seen, I could have been packing for the trip of a lifetime LOL...
  • He is getting a little better in the pram, he doesn't whinge quite so much, although I do still carry him most places.. lol all 12.6kg of him...
  • He quite enjoys shopping so long as he is sitting in the trolley. He sits up there and gives everyone his cute little baby smiles. He hasn't started trying to climb out of the trolley or pram yet either.. I don't imagine it will be long before that starts.

Well what a ramble that was lol...

** On the sleep subject, since monday night he has actually been pretty good. He was sick that night, went to sleep early and back up at 10pm, after that didn't get back to sleep till almost midnight, then slept till 6am, then in bed with me. Everynight since he has been in bed at 8.30, and slept till around 2.30 am - ish. He has a bottle in his cot and back to sleep in his cot til around 7.30 am. I am still usually up for 1.5 - 2 hours, but its heaps better than all night!! I even put him in bed awake last night and he put himself to sleep, then again for nap time today.. With NO crying!! So thats only been 4 nights now, we will see how it goes...




Friday, July 24, 2009

He Walks....

Only 4 - 6 steps at a time,

but he was going back and forwards between Me and Mark tonight.

At 10.45pm... The kid that never sleeps!!

I haven't even got any pics of him standing on his own yet and he's already taking steps..


Love this pic..

It's like he's asking "what do you keep looking at back there mum??" lol

Some Scrapping

LOL don't fall over with shock,
but I have been scrapping.
I don't really love any of them but it has been
soooo long since I done anything and I
really just wanted to get back into it.
This was the first one I done for ages...
had been trying but just couldn't do it!!
So it's just a bit of a funny one :-)




This one I done months ago but never showed..
I also have some more that I have done that I haven't shown,
but I will leave them for another time.
lol sorry about all the dodgy pics

  • Loves his bath time, Hates getting dressed afterwards..
  • Loves to be naked... Too bad its a bit cold this time of year though!

Little Teeth

Just captured a pic of them cute little teeth that are just poking through...
So cute.. :-)
You may be able to tell we were at the beach.. lol

Friday, June 5, 2009

So Cute...

How cute are these teensy little DC's...
I love em.. :-)


I am supposed to be packing to go to Bermi,
but am waiting for clothes to dry,
and can't get into the cupboard to get the suitcases coz I will wake Zayne up..
Am also sorting baby girls clothes to give to a couple of different people.
Thats making me a little sad.

Can't find my spare battery for my camera or my battery charger
and my battery is flat.
I'm hoping they are still in Mark's car
or IM NOT GOING!!!
Can't go with no camera!!


He's awake..
Packing here I come!!
:-(



Have a good long weekend!

Tag

Got this tag from Mum..
Also got the 8 Things tag,
Was writing it out but am tired and cranky so I thaught it best not to put up my stupid answers to it right now..
Not going to pass it on though as every blog I have seen has already had it..
I think

Forgot to add....

Forgot to add in my last post..
Zayne cut his first 2 bottom teeth today.

Jed's 8th Birthday.. and some Farm pics.

Just have a few pics to show from Jed's 8th Birthday,
and some pics from the Farm on the weekend.
Too Many Lollies!!
LOL I love these fake teeth,
they are cool.
I wanted a pic of all the kids with fake teeth but they all took off before I got the chance.
His party was at the park this year...
much better idea than having it at home i think.
They had plenty of room to run around,
could be as noisy and messy as they wanted,
Play equipment to play with,
Tree's to climb in,
Think we will do that again!!
Blowing out the candles..


He got lots of pressies he wanted this year,
he now has the full range of LEGO power miners,
some bi-onicles,
a lamp, new doona cover, some clothes,
DS games,
a bit of money, etc
******

We went wood-carting at Dad's farm on the weekend,
got a few pics while Mark was cutting the wood,
just going to put a couple up here.

This is one of Auni's pumpkin's..
Jed with Mark's hat on..
I like this one of him, he doesn't have his crazy look on like usual.
Zayney...
He was bitching when I took this,
think the smile was coz he thaught I was going to pick him up. LOL
What a grot...
Eating the dirt and rocks..
Played with this one to give it the rich colours,
was a bit plain otherwise...
Sunset on the way home,
headed into Batlow from Dad's..

7 Months

You know, I really thaught that by the time he was 7 months old he would have settled a bit..
But he is still cranky most of the time, unless he has my full attention on him.
Drives me crazy especially when i'm making dinner... Seems Mark always has something else he needs to do, So I get screamed at the whole time..
He is getting up 3 times a night again..
Not even making it to midnight before he wakes up for the first time, and then usually spends the rest of the night in my bed otherwise as soon as I put him in the cot he wakes up screaming.
It's driving me absolutely crazy, and I have permanent dirty big black circles under my eyes!!
He is ALWAYS hungry, but is the pickiest eater out...
Wont eat mashed potato at all, picks at it a little if i put it on the high chair tray, other wise wont touch it.
Wont eat most veggies.
Has also started chucking one when he gets fed the pumpkin and sweet corn baby food jars.. Which was the only one he would eat.
If we try and give him something different he throws the biggest tantrums!!
He will eat bread though, and lots of it.... although most ends up on the floor.
LOL so as you may be able to tell i'm not having the best of weeks....
So anyway...
at 7 months:
  • Weighs 10.82 kg
  • Length is 71.5cm (i think...)
  • Head 45cm (i think...)
  • He is crawling properly, and everywhere.. Doesn't really commando at all anymore.
  • Pulls himself up on everything.
  • Falls off most things... I'm sure he will have a permanent imprint of the table leg on his forehead if he keeps it up, lol.
  • Has stood not holding anything for about 5 seconds-ish a few times.
  • He is into EVERYTHING!! Especially likes the DVD player, DVD drawers, and power points!!
  • Walks along things.
  • Walks along holding my hands.
  • Has 2 sleeps most days, depending on if his routine gets interrupted, them he usually has none.... Which results in him bitching at me allllll day.
  • Still wears size O
  • Says 'dad', 'dadda', 'bub', 'go', 'gone', 'mum'. Its all really just babble, but you can really hear the words in there.

I'm sure there is more, but can really not think of it...

Might come back and add it if i can remember..

******

Pics were all taken Sunday 10th May.

Mothers Day

at Rotary Park




Wednesday, May 13, 2009

Quick catch up..

These are just a couple of pics from the last school hols,
when mum come up for a couple of days..
My 3 kiddo's... Of course not looking at the camera,
coz they just can't i'm sure.
So it's not the best, but i like it..
Mum, Sheri, Tiff, Jed, Tani and Zayne..
Almost all looking at the camera!!

So life has been busy, with working for Mother's Day, etc,
and I really haven't been on here much.
Have to add Zayne's 7 Month pics, and what he's been up to..

Just have to wait till I go to the clinic tomorrow and get him weighed.
Need to do this so I can remember when I go to write in his baby book..
Have been slack, slack, slack..
Jed's 8th b'day is tomorrow,
so i'm busy with that cooking cakes etc.
Love my kids b'days but love them even more when they are over!!
Jed's room is on the way to being finished,
Mark is gradually geting the bed put up.
Still needs door frames and skirting boards in there, but the window is in,
and the walls and roof are painted,
and the new carpet has been layed.. (just in his room)
Can't wait till its done!!

Anyway off to do some stuff now that Zayne is FINALLY having his morning nap.

Zayne started pulling himself up to stand on April 20th.

Standing up at his jungle toy..

Easter

I know it's been a while since Easter, but I am only just getting around to doing these pics..
The first 2 are from the last day of school, the kids had their Easter Hat parade,
Where they walk down the main street.
I went down and watched,
I didn't get any decent pics though coz people kept standing in front of them, ah well!
Tani just had the bunny ears, a bowtie,
and a basket filled with fake eggs and some chickens.
Bit hard to tell in the pic coz it's a bit bright.
I made Jed's hat for him again,
He only wanted to go in the parade so he didn't have to do school work...
The little bunny you can see at the top goes in and out of the egg.
******
These ones are from Easter Day.
The Easter Bunny didn't bring as many eggs this year as he left it a little late to purchase them.
All the ones he usually brings were already gone.
Oops...

He brought Zayne 6 little eggs.
He tried one of them and didn't think too much of it..
As you may be able to tell from the look on his face.

He's Crawling

Zayne started crawling properly today...
He has been doing it bit by bit over the last week,
just moving one arm and one leg at a time.
But this afteernoon he just got up and went.
He still commando crawls too though,
lol it gets him where he wants to go faster!!
I am so not ready for him to be crawling.
My baby is growing up way too fast... :-(

It's a bit hard to catch him crawling in a pic though,
this was the best I could get..
6 Months 9 Days

******

I have Tani at home today, she said she was sick and I wasn't sure whether I believed her or not... She loves school so wasn't trying to get out of it, I just thaught she didn't want to eat her breaky.. But I have just realised that she has put herself to bed and has gone to sleep. LOL might be coz I wouldn't let her do anything though, coz sick people can't play outside, or play with the eyetoy on playstation. Mean I know, but I don't want her to think having a day off is fun!! So I have 2 snoozing kids in the house, and it is VERY peaceful. I expect Zayne to wake shortly though..

I am picking Jed up at 12.30 today, we are going over to wagga to get some more paint and things. I love shopping. Wish I had that money from K Rudd though, it sure would come in handy..

Yarrangobilly Caves

We went to the caves last sunday,
just for something different....
Got a few pics, nothing special and in no particular order..
This was the fence post leading down to the cave we went through.
My poor bubba's head,
we got attacked by march flies,
shit they hurt.. I'm still itchy where they got me..
How cute is his little shirt though!!
Love it, I got that one when I was just pregnant with him and
didnt know what I was having..
Jed and his water wings.
The kids LOVED the thermal pools,
lucky well coz it nearly killed me walking back up that bloody hill!!





The entrance to the cave.
Steps inside the cave.
The thermal pools.
It is a VERY STEEP 0.7km down
and then a VERY STEEP 0.7km back up again.
I had forgotten just how bad it was...
I doubt I will ever go there again!


******
So Zayne has been soooooo grumpy lately,
not sleeping at night,
and waking at all hours when he does...
It is driving me crazy!!
I think its his teeth moving around. They aren't ready to pop
out yet, but they are definately there.
lol just thaught I would have a whinge...
******
What are you up to this weekend?
I have put my foot down and said we ARE going to finish the laundry..
lol we'll see how that goes though..
At the moment it has no door frames on either door
and there is wood and dust and all sorts of other shit everywhere..
should be fun hey...

20 Weeks!!!

How bloody cute is this kid!!!
lol...
Went to the clinic this morning, at 20 weeks he is
spot on 10kg! eek!!
I brought the clothes he is wearing yesterday at target,
they were on clearance, got the overalls, shirt and hat for about $10.80!!
(they are a set)
They were so cute, I had to get them even though the last thing he needs is more
clothes... Spoilt little bugger!!
These are his 20 week pics.
Taken in the backyard while I was hanging the washing this morning.
lol, don't look at our completely dead grass..
(cept for that one green patch in the first one, wonder if we have a broken pipe??)

OMG what a chubba he is!!
and a dribbler!!


This one is completely over-exposed, but I love it!!
he is so cute!!

Thats it from me, off to work soon to hang muslin and fairy lights at the bowlie..

Should be fun with my whingey son....

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK!!

Thursday, February 26, 2009

Just a quick one...

Nothing is going on round here.
Zayne has been playing up a bit,
doesn't like to go to bed at night,
and has been waking alot during the night.
......
Mark's b'day is tomorrow.. He will be 29!!!
lol.
Just a pic of some trees..
photoshopped coz my camera takes shit pics of things like this.
I need to take more pics of my other 2 kids.
They have all been of Zayne lately.
But he is pretty cute....
:-)

4 Months

This spunky Little Dude is 4 months already..
Well last friday he was.
He is soooo cute and loveable, lol most of the time :-).
At 4 Months he:
  • Is just starting to eat solids on a semi-regular basis, he has some for one meal sometimes everyday, usually every second day.
  • Has finally started to drink a bit of water, although he still really only plays with it, he isn't real sure what he is supposed to do with a bottle. Oh and he only drinks it if it has ice in it.
  • Is sleeping much better. Although everytime I say that he starts waking throughout the night heaps again, as he did last night :-(
  • Is rolling over both ways.
  • Gets around by pushing himself along the ground. He covers lots of distance like this, and often headbutts the tv cabinet.
  • Is starting to teathe. Poor bubba.
  • Reaches out for things.
  • Holds things.
  • Chews on EVERYTHING.
  • Dribbles and spews a fair bit.
  • Loves cuddles.
  • Gives the cutest big wet sloppy kisses.
  • Loves his big brother and sister.
  • Chats alot!! Lots of noise all the time.
  • Is wearing 3 different sized clothes, some 00's, some 0's some 1's.
  • He was 9.78kg last wednesday. Started packing it on again :-(
  • He was 68.5cm long 3 weeks ago. She didn't measure him last week.

Thats about it, that I can think of at the moment.

Here are a couple of 4 month pics..

Sitting up on his own.
You can see his dribbles and rashy cheeks in this one.
They get so red and sore.

One one of his trips around the loungeroom.
He goes straight for the handle on the dvd drawer and can open the drawer.
Cheeky boy!

The body suit he is wearing in the pic above is size 1 for ages 12 - 18 months!! I went shopping the other day and couldn't find any bodysuits in big w or kmart bigger than a size 0!! I wasn't real happy bout that, coz he is almost out of 0's....

2 More Pages

This morning I remembered I had done 2 other digital pages that I didn't upload in the last post, I had forgotten about them... They were stuck in files they shouldn't have been and it took me ages to find them, but here they are....

We are off to Batlow today to see Nan and Pop and then out to Dad's for a swim in the creek... It is HOT HOT HOT here!! I have my fingers crossed that there are no more fires in the next couple of days...
Can't wait for next week when the temp is supposed to come back down again..
Hope you have a good weekend!!

Damn it's HOT!!!

I am so over this heat!! It is driving me insane.... Not sure how hot it is today, but I am drenched in sweat, and i'm inside with the air-con going.. I feel so bad for the kids at school, they come home every afternoon with their hair plastered to their heads and sweat running down their faces. They have to sit inside those hot classrooms all day, with no airconditioners. I don't think they even have fans!! My air-con in my car isn't working either, which is wonderful *roll eyes*....

Anyway, enough whingeing... Zayne is 17 weeks today, Got him weighed last friday at 16 weeks and he was 9.23kg. He had only put on 130 grams in 3 weeks, which I was happy about. And he was 68.5cm. We will go in again wednesday for his 4 month weight, since we have to make appointments for the clinic now and i'm working on friday.. Well he will be 4 months on tuesday anyway so it doesn't matter... Got only crappy pics of him today, he wouldn't keep toys and hands out of his mouth!!
This one was during the week, his first time in the walker.. He doesn't like it much, except to chew on the bar and toys. Love that big smile though...
******
Didn't have much to write about today so I have put in a couple of pics from australia day..
Nothing special just a few random ones I took.


******
I finally leart how to digital scrap!!!
I haven't been getting into scrapping much lately,
I have tried but I just havent got it IYKWIM..
So I digi scrapped and this is what I came up with.
All made from Shabby Princess kits on PS.

AWARDS + TAGS

I have been really slack with these, I always forget to put them up, so I'm going to do them all together now...

This first one is from Nicole This one is from Sheri

This one from Mum

This is also from Mum... I had to find the 6th photo in the 6th file on my computer and upload it.
I delete my pics from my computer quite often so my photo was only recent, It was a pic of Zayne in the bath about 1 month ago.....
HOWEVER when I went to upload to blogger the files come up in a different order than they did in the file, and I ended up with this pic which was from our holiday to QLD in 2007... Not sure why I still have these pics on there though.
It's pretty funny, but terrible quality because it has been cropped so much. The pic is of Muli on the day he came to dreamworld with us...
I am not going to pass these on to anyone because i'm pretty sure they have been all the way around LOL.... If you want them though go ahead!!!
Will be back soon with a pic post :-)

Am I Happy or am I Sad?

It's my baby girls first day of Kindy today.
She was so excited and couldn't wait to go, she has been counting down the days
for about 6 months..
It's sad to see her go, but I know she is ready.
She knows so much more than Jaiden did when he went,
and she listens and follows instuctions well.
I'm so sure that she is going to do well, and love going to school.
Except for the fact that she has to leave her shoes and socks on all day, LOL she wasn't impressed with that, and asked if she even had to leave them on at lunch-time.
There is only a bit over an hour until she has to be picked up now..
I hope she is enjoying her day.


Jed's first day was yesterday,
and as per usual he came home in a mood.
He really hates school.
The little man sits!!
LOL yeah, he leans over and looks like a monkey,
but he is sitting, all by himself.
This was the best pic i could show because he had no nappy
on and the others were a bit rude..
(15 weeks 4 days)
and he rolls..
He rolled over for the first time the day we left Bermi.
while I was in the shower.
(15 weeks 1 day)
These are some pics from our holiday at Bermi.
I got soooooo many that I LOVE.
But I will just show a few..
Me and Zayne taken the day we left.
Mum took it, and I love it.. Heaps.. :-)
One of my favourite pics ever I think, with me in it anyway,
coz I hate pics of me!


Our family, taken by Sheri..
Got some posed ones as well, with us looking at the camera,
which are nice, but I really like this one.

This is Tiffy's sunflower..
I have been trying out the manual setting on my camera..

A pretty beach, no idea what it's called, I took the pic over the edge of a cliff.

Bermi main street, taken from the park across from mum's shop.

Cranky lips.
LOL she really didn't want me to take a pic of her.
Love this one
He looks so calm, not like the terror that he is,
and was being right before and after i took the pic.

15 weeks

The 5 kids,
my 3 and my 2 little sisters,
on the jetty

Me and my baby sisters.
I love you guys and miss you heaps!!

Well thats just a few of my pics,
I might put a few more up in the next few posts...
You know, I have not done any layout this year!!
Not even 1!!
I am hoping to do one before January ends, but not sure if I will manage to or not..
Anyway,
Hope you are having a good week and have a good air-coditioner!

I don't and I am HOT!

Friday, January 16, 2009

I'm going on a ....

SUMMER HOLIDAY, SUMMER HOLIDAY
lol to Bermi,
where the sun doesn't shine,
and the wind always blows.
But it's summer, and it's a holiday...
Thats the main thing...:-)
Hopefully it will be warm enough for the kids
to go swimming at the beach and
Mum will get to see Zayne for the first time since he was
just 5 days old.
******
Forgot bout pics today,
so I took them tonight, thats why the colour is a bit
off and they are a bit dark.
We went to work today, since there was
a wedding on, I had to do the 2 bridesmaids bouquets
(lol would you belive I have worked at the florist for 6.5 years
and I still don't know how to spell that!!)
The kids were Pretty good,
Jed is such a good babysitter for Zayne,
He keeps him occupied while I am busy....
Don't know what I will do when they go to school :-(
anyways.... lol
14 WEEKS

He is sitting himself up here,
pulls himself up,
then promptly falls on his face...
******
We went to the pool on wednesday arvo,
it got to 41*c here and was HOT HOT HOT.
Took the kids down and Zayne loved it,
he sat there in the water for almost an hour,
just floating around, taking it all in.
He really likes water!!
First time in the pool, had to get some pics...
I took my little old camera,
coz I didn't want to look like a dill with my big one there :0)
Pics are OK but would have been better with my good camera...

He only lasted in the floaty thigy for bout 10 mins then sat with me on the step..
******
Sheri and Zayne the day she went home,
she was here for almost 2 weeks and we didn't take any pics the whole time... :0(
She was such a good help with Zayne,
Except when it comes to poopy nappies,
LOL I made her change one and she wasn't even a little bit happy bout that!!
******
How cute is this little toosh... :-)
LOVE IT!!

Probably should go to bed,

Haven't even started packing for our summer holiday,

Have got tonnes to do tomorrow before we leave including washing,

but ah well there is no rush!!

What is with the big gaps blogger puts between rows at the bottom of my posts??

OMG so annoying!!

  • is smiling and Laughing alot, especially when I call him "Beautiful" and "Gorgeous"

  • is 9.1 kg

  • is 65.5cm long

  • is still VERY hard to get to sleep at night, usually goes down around 10.30pm

  • Occasionally sleeps through the night, waking between 6 - 7 am
  • Always sleeps in my bed after his morning feed (I know, BAD habit to get into)
  • Jumps in the Jolly Jumper every night while we eat dinner
  • Needs to be the centre of SOMEONES attention 100% of the time or he is whingeing
  • is hardly sleeping during the day at all, he is lucky to sleep 1/2 hour all day
  • Has just started to give big wet sloppy kisses
  • is Very, very, very cute
  • Has 2 nicknames... Mr Beautiful and Captain Grumbles, depending on his mood

These 3 pics are his 13 week pics

he wouldn't smile or look at me





******
Gorgeous little smiles.

Look at his poor cheek, scratched himself so bad on saturday morning it actually bled :-(

First ever feed of Farax today,

thaught it might of stopped him grumbling a bit,

but I was wrong he is still going strong..


He moved while taking this pic,
ending up in the corner.
Also taken with manual settings which i still dont get....

but I love it :-)


******
3 Months old,

Made this one 'vintage'

I think it looks good, very different anyway...

Massive pic post.....

It's the busy season and I have been busy with my camera!!
After so long of taking hardly any pics I have gotten back into it again...
No scrapping though, not for weeks and weeks.. :-(
These first pics are of Zayne today, at 12 weeks...
I have no idea how much he weighs since the clinic is closed until next week, but he sure is heavy!!
I got a dead arm carrying him in the chemist this afternoon.
He is wearing the little outfit I got him for xmas, The shorts are an '0' and the top is '00'....

*********************
These are all xmas pics in no particular order..
We went to the Upper Murray Holiday Resort for lunch, was nice, different, but not nearly as good as a traditional home christmas IYKWIM.. Saw a lot of family there that we don't see often
as well as my Dad and Auni, and Craig and Tegan (who were seedy from a night out on the town the night before... he he he)
Anyway here are a few pics from the day...
Tani helping Zayne unwrap a pressie from Santa
After lunch at Jingelic, he loves this little giraffe he got from Aunty Susan and Family..

All the presents in the world and she is playing with nail files out of the bon - bons???
Go figure hey, Thats Tanika for you...
OMG how gorgeous is this pic, totally love it...
Its a bit out of focus but ah well..
Absolute excitement plus!!!
It was the LEGO Crystal Reaper from Santa!!!
He has been asking for one of these for MONTHS!!!
After lunch, playing with his new Nintendo DS, from us...
It was a huge hit as well.
Bladestar, also been wanting this forever...
Santa's milk and milk duds...
Its pretty sad when ya don't have any cookies to offer hey..
Although Jed enjoyed the crumbs Santa left on the plate when he got up in the morning!!
Opening the DS
My babies First Christmas....
And of course he wakes up with a massive scratch on his face doesn't he!!
Zayne and my Dad..
Yep all the pics of present opening are of Jed, always happens ya get more pics of one than the other...
The pics of Tani are either crap or the back of her head.
********************
We did absolutely NOTHING New Years Eve..
Spent the whole night trying to get Zayne to sleep.
He didn't go down till 12.30am.
Little bugger..... Looks like tonight might be the same too... Aaaargh!
Anyway.... LOL
We went bush on New Years Day, up to Buddong Falls and The Hut,
We trecked to the falls and I swear it nearly killed me...
Well the walk back anyway, there was mostly down hill
OMG I am sooooooo out of shape!!!
But I got lots of nice piccies :D
I have edited them all in PS, an I LOVE the way they have turned out.....

My Family (minus me as usual)
Down at the falls..
This one was at the end of the track on the way back, notice they don't look even a little pooped???
I was almost crawling at this stage...
And sweating...
And puffing...
Look at them chubby little cheeks...
Too cute!!
And of course the falls....Some dry leaves hanging over the track..
I was trying for some 'Different' pics this time...
The sign on the bridge,
I love how the moss is growing in the letters.
Now onto the hut, which I think is about 5ks from the falls.
I love the rustic look of huts..
These have obviously been photoshopped quite a bit..
Lovin' PS at the moment :D
The chimney at the side...
Man am I glad I am living in the 21st century,
could you imagine living in one of these???
Jed in the hut, looking out the window..

Tani out front of the hut..

I was experimenting with the manual settings on my camera here..

The actual pic I took was really pale and washed out, I have massively altered this in PS...

And another with manual settings, also altered alot...

Would love to learn how to use it properly, just think I am too lazy, it seems soooooo hard and so much to remember..

Well thats about all I think I should overload you with, have HEAPS more pics but I'm sure

no-one else finds them as interesting as I do.... :D

If you stop by leave me a message and I will come visit you....

oh and a big HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!!

Time Flies!!

I can't believe it's been almost 2 weeks since I updated... It feels like only days. Haven't been real busy round here but the days just seem to fly by...
Its an exciting day today!!! Craig and Tegan are on their way home.... To live!!!! I so can't wait to see them, and have them back here, I have missed them sooooo much....
Zayne was 10 weeks yesterday!! Already!! Makes me so sad that my last baby is growing up so quickly... When he got weighed at the clinic yesterday he was 8.38kg, he is sooo heavy I can only carry him for a few mintues before my arm starts going numb :( He went in the Jolly Jumper for the first time yesterday and loved it, He tries to bounce and dance around, its so cute!! LOL and he talks to the door frame, its hilarious... Of course Jed and Tani have to bug the crap out of him while he's in there too, when he's whingeing they want nothing to do with him, but they can't leave him alone when he's happy *roll eyes*, It drives me up the wall!
Here is a pic of the three of them, his first time in the Jolly Jumper...
Zayne.. 10 weeks, all charm with the little spew dribble and his shorts stuck in the Jumper.. I fixed them after this, it was a bit un-attractive lol.... But gorgeous, love his chubbiness!!No thumb sucking for this kid!! He gets the whole fist in there, it sounds terrible, lol big slurps all the time :-)

Sheri and Tiff came to stay for 2 nights during the week, It was awesome to see them, we don't get to often enough... Last time they saw Zayne he was only 5 days old, and now he is huge compared to then!! Got some nice pics of them too.... :D
Unfortunately we didnt do anything while they were here, I dont have room for everyone in my car now :-(


This is the canvas I made for Jackie for xmas... Dunno if she will like it or not but ah well!!

So I just remembered I was going to upload 2 of my masters projects... Going to see if I can do it now..

After lots of stuffing around here they are, the first is my keepsake my favourite out of all the projects, it was a last minute rush job too...

And my double.. really didnt like it too much..


I got HM's for my single and for my calendar... Really not surprised I didn't make the 10, loved so many of the things I have seen on blogs and in the mags... Some stuff I didn't love so much too, but ya get that...:-D.... LOL

Anyway thats it I think sorry for the long boring post... Going to get Zayne since the yapping F#@!*&G dog next door woke him up.

Monday, December 8, 2008

8 Weeks

Zayne was 8 weeks on friday.... He is now 7.78kg and 62.5cm long.
Poor little fella got his needles done, in both legs and he had such a bad day afterwards... It was really hot, and he was really uncomfortable and upset all day. He didnt sleep for more than 20 mins at a time..... This pic was taken 2 days late coz I just couldn't get a pic of him not screaming!!! LOL the only way i got this one was beause he was asleep, then I woke him up taking the pic and he cried some more.....
This pic was taken not long after the above pic.... Jed tries to help so much when he is crying, but he is just too heavy for him. You can see him straining to hold him up.


We put the tree up on saturday night, added a few more decorations on sunday and it pooped itself LOL.... The whole thing fell over and decorations went everywhere.. We snapped a leg of the poor thing, so mark liquid nail's it up and I fixed it back up today, minus a few decorations... I also wrapped some pressies and put them under it.... I swear I have never been so organised for xmas before.... Love my new blue and silver theme!! :-)

This is what my little man has been doing for most of the arvo... He is now awake though so off I go...........

Wednesday, December 3, 2008

Here they are..

I finally got some pics of my recent layouts, for some reason I cant take a straight pic of any of them so they look pretty wonky...




A couple of pics of James and Zayne playing together on the weekend... It is VERY difficult to get a photo of two babies looking at the camera!!!

Not much happening here lately, besides from Jed dislocating his shoulder on our sliding door.... But after much stuffing around yesterday afternoon he is now fine and enjoying a day off school.

Saturday, November 29, 2008

Just a quick one...

I have been trying to update more often, not going that great, but definately better than my once every 6 months I was doing before..... :-)

I have just ordered some xmas pressies online at snapfish.... It was the best deal ever, I got photo books for a few of the family and ended up saving $120 (almost half of what they were worth) .... They look really good, just hope they are as good in real life!! I can't wait to see them..

I got Zayne weighed again yesterday, at 7 weeks he is 7.5kg... He only put on 1/2kg in 2 weeks instead of 1kg in 2 weeks, hopefully he is starting to slow down a bit with his weight gain... Although his little rolls are so cute!!
Below is his 7 week photo... Cute little smiles with a big belly, lol his legs aren't as short as they look in the pic either!

How cute is this... He was having a bath in the laundry tub, just so he could float around a bit... He fills his bath sooo much most of him sits out of the water! He is too long for the tub, but can at least sink down a little..
Trying to get a nice pic of Jed smiling with his big gap, he is now missing 4 top teeth... Tani has sauce on her face from lunch :-)
As you might guess, I didnt get a good pic of the gap, but ah well, after all the great pics I got last time I can't complain.... I like this one anyway, even if it wasnt what I was after.... Cheeky boy!!

I have a few layouts to share as well, but havent taken any pics due to REALLY crappy weather... So stay tuned for them I will upload soon, hopefully tomorrow if the weather clears a bit....

Hope you are all having a good weekend!!

Monday, November 24, 2008

Some new pics...

Life has settled down a "little" here.. Zayne went 2 nights sleeping almost all the way through, I was hoping he would keep it up, but it doesnt look like that will be happening. He has decided he absolutely does NOT want to go to sleep at night, its strange because he struggles to stay awake during the day. I just hope he settles soon because I am supposed to be going back to work next week, just for a few hours here and there but I dont know how I will go if we are still having such messed up sleeping patterns...

I went shopping in wagga on the weekend, Just Mark, Zayne and I went, Jed and Tani had a sleep over at Farm Poppy's and Auni's which they loved, even though Jed got COLD weet-bix for breakfast LOL he was horrified about that.. He has 4 every morning but they have to be warm!!! I FINALLY got myself a new washing machine!! It has been such a long time coming, I just never wanted to spend the cash on one while the other was still working. I can now do so much more washing at a time which is good.. I also got a few more christmas presents. I think I almost done now, I just want to get Tani a cuttlekid :-)

ummm what else??? I took some nice piccies of Karen's family yesterday, you should go on over to her blog and check them out!
I think thats about it, it has been a quite uneventful week!!

I took some pics of the kids in their xmas hats today.. I really like the way they have come out, its hard to choose a favourite I like so many of them!!










and lastly just a LO that I dont really like.... Its the 2nd time I have tried to scrap that pic, which I LOVE but just not liking what I come up with for it... ah well...

Saturday, November 15, 2008

Twice in a week!

Twice in a week, can you believe it!!!
We went to the clinic on friday Zayne is now 6.93kg (15lb 5oz)... At 5 weeks!!!! He is over 1.5kg heavier than Jed and Tani were around the same age, but he was only just 230 grams heavier at birth. He is getting so big so fast, its sad coz he is my last baby :-(... The pic above is his 5 week pic which was taken on friday... Love those BIG smiles we are getting... (and the chubby chins that go with them)... :-)

We had a good day out today, we went to Goob with Muli and Lindy had a bbq lunch and they all had a swim in the creek, lol not me though, i'm not crazy!!! Got some good pics i think and Zayne was pretty good most of the time, he got a little fussy around lunchtime but thats pretty much normal now.. So yeah, we all had fun.



How funny is this pic ^^ If you look in the background you can see Tani has jumped just as I took the pic, both her feet are off the ground... I think it looks cool.


There were a heap of other pics too, but didnt want to be too boring..
In other news Craig and Tegan are moving back home... I am soooo excited and can't wait!!! I spent a little while on the phone with Craig tonight, I miss him heaps and am so glad they FINALLY decided to come back!

Wednesday, November 12, 2008

My little fatty :0)



Time flies past so fast these days, its hard to find the time to blog...
Zayne is growing so big so fast, I havent had him weighed for 2 weeks, but back then he was 12lb 9oz, I am hoping to make it to the clinic on friday.. I was going today but nothing I planned for today got done due to the fact that I slept in :( oops..
He has still not settled in well at all, still feeding every 3 hours which is making life difficult, he has started sleeping a little better during the night, but has now decided that he wont nap during the day... LOL I just cant win..
We ended up having to put him in the cot already because he was almost touching either end of the bassinet, I think he was feeling a little trapped in there coz he filled it so much. I also tried him on a bottle of formula this afternoon because he was feeding constantly from 11.30am till around 3.30pm.. He has been doing it for weeks, and I got a bit over it! I'm hoping he will go a little longer between feeds with the formula, still unsure if I want to actually put him on a bottle full time or not though...

I had some sad news last week, our old neighbour Bart passed away on thursday night, we lived next door to him and Ginny for many years and they were just like family.. His funeral is tomorrow.
Not much else to talk about, as I have not been doing much.. How exciting am I LOL...

Just have a few pics to show.. This one was taken the week before last, Zayne has started smiling a little and I managed to capture this one, it was taken the day after his first smile at 3.5 weeks.. How cute is it, I love it :-)
Little brother and big brother playing together on Zaynes new play mat.. From the looks of him I dont think he is very sure about it... He is 23 days old in this pic.


Can you believe what a difference a month can make? This first pic was taken just after we got home from hospital, He is 22 hours old in this one....


and 32 days in this one... He is so fat now, its sooo cute!!


After his bath this morning. Love them little fat rolls :-)


Just took this one before, have been trying to get him to have a sleep since around 11am, but everytime I put him in his cot he wakes up, so I put him in the pram instead and so far he's been asleep for around an hour, not sure what it is about the cot but he wont sleep in there during the day...


My latest 2 Layouts...





Thats about it I think, so I will probably see you in another month!!! ;0)

It's a BOY

We had our Baby Boy on October 10th at 8:01pm... His name is Zayne Robert, he was 9lb 5oz and 53.5cm long... He is now 10 days old and weighs 10lb 1/2oz... He loves to eat and thinks he should do so the whole time he is awake!!!! He is going maximum 3 hours between feeds during the day, usually the same at night. :-( Hopefully he settles sometime soon...

Anyway, he is hungry again so I will just quickly leave some pics....

This is Zayne 16 hours old..
Proud Big Brother!!
Proud Big Sister
Aunty Sheri..
Our Family.... :-)
The 2nd LO I have done of Baby Zayne
How cute is this little foot!!!
Zayne and his Daddy!!!
My gorgeous Boy :-)
Love him to bits :-)

I'm due today!!!

Yep... Bub is due today, but once again I dont think it will arrive on time. Both Jed and Tani went over so i'm not expecting it to be on time... Although I must say I am finally a bit over it. I havent had any troubles the whole way through but these last few weeks have been a bit much. I have big sinus troubles, i'm having sooo much trouble breathing, even after going on anti-biotics its still there, although it has cleared up a little its still difficult to breathe properly, which means I am not sleeping properly, which is driving me up the wall, I dont think I have ever been so tired!!!

LOL also I want it to come soon so I can go to floriade!!! I wont go while i'm still pregnant - just in case..... But it will be over soon.. I dont think I will get to go again.

I have finally finished work.. I done a wedding bouquet on friday and that will be the last I will work till sometime after bub comes.. It was really taking it out of me being on my feet all the time so even though i'm now broke and bored i'm glad im not working at the moment.. LOL

Last weekend I finally managed to scrap.. I finished off the snow LO that has been sitting at my desk for weeks, and I done the three others...





So when do you think bub will come and what will it be???? I still have no idea what it is and no names that we can agree on LOL.... It is going to be a nameless bub at the rate we are going... :-(
