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!!
