Today Sam celebrated his 1st birthday, he woke up at about 7.30am and I fed him.... then we got up and waited for his daddy to come home from work and his sisters to wake up so we could give him his presents.

The jellybaff was a huge hit, they all had so much fun with it. I don't think I would buy it again though as it is pretty messy stuff.Posted by Amie at 9:38:00 AM 6 comments Links to this post
Well we have had a busy month doing everything and nothing LOL, I just don't know where the time goes :o( So this post has a huge amount of photos which hopefully will help me remember what we have been doing :o)
Meet Siannah Kaye, my newest little niece, isn't she just adorable. Can't wait to meet her. She was born on the 16th of Dec weighing 7p 3o
Congratulations Kristal, Mark and Alex. I am going to attempt to make her a quilt once the silly season is over.

I am love with these little petti skirts atm and brought a kit to make one..... It has gone in the 2 hard basket when Leah sent me a link on ebay to a shop who is selling them for about $20 (Heaps cheaper than the kit) including postage. I snapped this one up extra quick and I am going to get some more asap.

On monday Salt took the girls out the bush with him for the day, it was so quiet with just Sam and I. He took the camera with him to take some photos of them in the oats crop. Very cute I would love to dress them up and take them out there again but it is about an hour away :o(

The lovely Mel Goodsell is having a little sewing party on her blog this week, atm there are 70 something people participating in making these gorgeous little skirts. They are sew sew easy to make and I made these 2 yesterday morning in about 2 and a 1/2 hours. I brought the fabric from spotlight on the weekend and it just looks gorgeous in these little skirts.

Last wednesday night some lovely girls joined me over at Forever Always to create this LO. It was a fly by the seat of my pants LO as I hadn't even completed it at the time. We all love how it turned out and it really got my mojo flowing to start Bries 3rd birthday LO.

I can't believe how fast this year is going..... There is only something like 82 sleeps until christmas and then before I know it Sam will be one. We have been quite busy last month, we had Mia's last game of soccer. I celebrated my 31st birthday..... I had a lovely morning with the family and then went to another friends house where we had pancakes for morning tea YUMMO. Then we went to Orange to do our tax, Mia had her soccer presentation that weekend as well and she received the coaches award which she was pretty happy about. Now she wants to play cricket OMG I just want to stay home....last weekend we went to Dubbo for my Aunty's 50th, Salt had a great night. I went home at 9 with the kids as it was sooooo cold. I had a fringe cut and can't believe how much younger I look! Don't know what I had been thinking for the last year or so. Sam has started to do so much stuff.... he got his first tooth on the 23 Sept, not that I would have known, we were at dancing and Kristin was holding him and he was chewing on her finger as he does to everyone!!! And she said Amie he has a tooth - NO he doesn't was my reply. Yes he does.......... NO he doesn't..............anyway she was right and the little turd has been biting me OUCH. He is starting to crawl getting up on those hands and knees and just rocking. He can drag himself along the floor now and is quick I turn my head for a second and he is across the room. Talk about trying to keep the house tidy. He is forever putting stuff in his mouth that the girls leave lying around, Brie thought she would give him a 20c piece the other day so that was a fun experience NOT.

What else has been happening in our lives???
This is the kids this morning all snug in my bed watching tv. So cute.... Sam is a quick learner he is starting to smile as soon as I pull the camera out got to love that being a scrappaholic LMAO.
Mia and Brie went to their first disco a few weeks ago, it was a halloween theme and they dressed up as witches. Brie just loved every minute of it. Mia was a bit shy and said it was a bit noisy but had a good time mostly. I don't think it was what she expected.
