{Photo's, Dubbo & A little Baby Boy}

















Well I have joined up in a photo a day forum, ( I am supposed to be doing something scrapped a day too like a LO or a card or a OTP - I am 3 days behind already... Oops) so here are the photo's I took yesterday of the girls.... We went out to the river. I am getting a bit low on photos to scrap so this should get a few for me. *giggle*
We went for a little drive to Dubbo today... I felt like McDonalds! LMAO I wish I could use that as my excuse cause I probably only did drive there for Micky D's. I think Brie might be a MD fan as she ate more than Mia... Heaps More!!

No we went to Dubbo because Mia and I both needed tracksuit pants and I wanted to buy Brie a warmer set of PJ's as she doesn't like to keep her blankets on.
While I was in Dubbo I received a text from Kerry that she had had her baby!!!
Congratulations Kerry, Stuart & Girls - how exciting getting a little baby brother. Caleb Sebastian arrived at 11.40am today he was 9p 4o (4.17kg) & 54cm long. You can imagine how excited they would be after having 3 beautiful little girls already!!

Not much else has been happening, Old Salt came over for dinner last night we had the last of the fish that Salt caught it Darwin it was so yummy.... I made apple crumble as well but they were too full to eat it!

Here is my photo for today.... Brie in her warm new PJ's being a rocket just like the piccy on her PJ's Too Cute!!

Well we have Dancing and Playgroup tomorrow so it will be a nice busy morning, lets hope the girls come home and both have a sleep and I might get some much needed scrapping done!

Bri, sorry to hear about your Pa, thinking of you and your family....
Leah I hope your feeling better & lighter and your DC addiction has come back.
Good Night

{Sprinkle's everywhere & Lots of photos}


(click on the photo to see the sprinkles)

Yesterday Mia left the cupboard open and this is how I found Brie I thought she was just a little too quiet!! There were sprinkles everywhere!!! I have seen 100's & 1000's scrapbooking paper somewhere it would be great to find it again and use this photo in a LO.



Well we got up this morning and I decided that we would go for a walk and see the girls grandad, and drop Bailee's birthday present off....(we didn't end up dropping Bailee's present off as Bec has been sick and all the blinds were shut... I didn't want to disturb them) As I walked past the oval I saw that the junior netball was on so I rang Leah on her mobile as I thought if she was over there I would walk over and say hello. She didn't answer her phone instead I got a text saying they were all sick with the flu..... So Leah & family get better soon. So we kept walking up the street and brought some sausages for dinner and then headed over to grandads to say hello, he was doing his washing and just about to go and do the shopping, so we didn't stay long. He was saying that he thought Dean was coming to visit next weekend I think he is getting very lonely without Kay there. He said I told Dean they can all stay here this time!!! I told him that I don't think they are coming until July.

We then went past the craft shop and I brought some patterned paper to do my making memories LOVE Frame... I will share when it is finished.

We came home to get ready for footy, Nyngan are playing Bourke today. I woke Salt up at 12.30 as he is on nightshift and Mia thought she might go over with him and I would get over there before the game started,


well she is going through this stage where she says she wants to do something and then when you say OK she says NO I go with you mum...


Salt said to her Mia are you coming with me?





"No I will go with Mum she said"


so he went out the back door "I WANT TO GO WITH DAD"


Fine Mia go with dad,


"No I go with you".

Salt gets in his car "I WANT TO GO WITH DAD"
Righto go with dad I said you could....
No I go with you.
Salt just about to drive off
"I WANT TO GO WITH DAD"
"I WANT TO GO WITH DAD"
"I WANT TO GO WITH DAD"
We said you could Mia hop in the car then.
No I go with you.

Salt drove off and I was left with her crying.... It's funny when you have the patients to deal with it, if I'm not in the mood well I just get cranky with her very quickly.

We came inside and she wanted to play with my hair so I knew she was tired she was asleep within 5Min's. Brie and I went into the lounge room then otherwise Brie just tries to wake her up by poking her in the eye with stuff..... like hair clips or her finger, or she just kisses her and that sort of stuff!

So then I rang Amanda to tell her we wouldn't be going to footy as Mia was asleep and I spoke to her for just on an hour.

Then I thought I still hadn't taken Brie's photo for her 1 year frame, when Mia turned 1 we had a family portrait taken and shots of her by herself. I thought I could take a decent enough shot of her myself so these are the photo's I got this afternoon. My favorite is the one where you can't really see her face from the sun! Does anyone know how to fix this?






This is my favourite of the girls. Mia woke up just before we went outside, I had asked her if she wanted to come out with us but she didn't. She ended up coming out halfway through which was good as Brie was smiling for her.



Here Mia was saying isn't she beautiful mum! - Can't wait to scrap this photo.



Salt has just got home from footy, They lost the score was 19-12 he thinks. I better go and make dinner for him before he goes to work.


I saw Kellie this morning and gave her Bryce's LO that I did last weekend she loved it.


Hope everybody is having a great Saturday.

{Random Challenge}

They are eyelets!!!

{Hi-5 Dancing Girls}

{Hi-5 Dancing Girls}



Anytime Brie hears Hi-5 come on the TV she will stop what she is doing and dance like this.... Mia isn't really a fan but when she saw that I had the camera she decided to join in too

{4am - Wide Awake}

Yes it is 4am and I am wide awake..... I have just finished Bailee's 4th birthday card,
Happy Birthday Bailee

I thought I might make Salt's & the girls lunches as I am going to work after dancing in the morning and I am not very organised. Yesterday we went to Amanda's for a mini playgroup morning as she was nice and organised with a clean house and figured why not ask the girls around for morning tea!! We even got yummy choccy cake mmmmm... we came home about 12 and Brie slept until 3.30 so I got my Random Challenge done for forever always I had to use at least 3 patterned papers, felt & at least 20 eyelets. I will post a photo of it later on today.

Then I made pumpkin soup using Mia's prize winning pumpkin from the show. Very Yummy!!

I joined in on the CC over at Bon's Scraps last night I haven't done any of the challenges yet but you have a week to do them so that is good, I am going to have to take some more photos as I am getting a bit low.

Kristal or Mark can you email me through some single photo's of Alex - maybe the one of Mark & Alex as I have to do a scraplift page and this photo would be perfect.... and any others that are your favourites.

Have a good day everyone.

123 Cybercrop

Here are 2 more LO that I did while Brie was asleep & Mia & Salt were out fishing. He has came home to tell that he has found a great spot for fishing, camping & family photos..... I have one more challenge to do before the end of the month.


Posted by Picasa

Last night FA had there monthly CC. The challenges were definitely a challenge *Giggle*. I got the first challenge done last night you had to do a monochromatic LO either using purple of green I chose purple and you had to use "It's about Life, It's about Love, It's about Us as a title or in the journaling.

I have completed the other 2 this morning as Salt has given me a day to myself!!! Funny how when they are gone you wonder if they are all right..... I am sure they are, he will have to bring Brie home soon as she will need a sleep.


Challenge 2 was inspired by the Power of One & Memoirs of a Geisha I chose to do the Asian themed LO using some sort of ephemera. My ephemera was downloaded Asian font...... mmmmm don't know if that's allowed but anyway I had nothing else. You also had to use the word Celebrate in the title or journaling again. I printed the word celebrate in the font I really like it. Stacie got her P's yesterday so I figured that was definitely worth celebrating.



The 3rd challenge was a double LO sketch. How fun was this to do I just love it!! I was able to scrap Mia in the pool last Sunday.



I have also altered this drive washing powder box to keep all

my chipboard alphas and shapes in I am going to do another one keeping the lid on. (it makes the room smell pretty too!!) Well I better go and keep creating while the house it quiet.

Salt won footy last night who knows what the score was, at 2am this morning i really didn't feel like asking.

Mia was sitting next to me on Thursday and decided to tell me how much she loves Brie it was so cute... Next minute she is on the floor with Brie saying "I love you Brie, Mum went to hospital to get you and you came out of her belly and then I came to visit you on the bus.... She has the best memory. I love how much they love each other Brie will wake up in the mornings and give Mia a kiss it is so sweet.

Have a good Saturday.

How cold is it!!! Check out Brie's Face

Today after Mia came home from Pre-School the girls headed out the back to play, I was inside and all of a sudden I remembered that the sandpit was still full of water as it is too heavy for me too pick up and pour out. I keep forgetting to tell Salt to empty it for me...... Anyway just as I walked out the back they had both just stepped into the water and were giggling at each other, so I ran to get the camera and started taking photos, how luck was I to get this shot!!




HOW COLD IS THE WATER..... IT WAS FREEZING JUST CHECK OUT BRIE'S FACE!!!!

I let her play for a few more minutes and then brought them both inside for a quick hot shower.


My King size bed is sooooo comfy I just love it.... yesterday Mia manage to smuggle some mint slice biscuits into the shopping trolley, so when I was putting the shopping away I just couldn't help myself and I had to open them and eat at least half of them (throughout the day). So last night after midnight Brie was very unsettled I fed her at 1.30 but really didn't want to fed her again at 3am so Mia was already in our bed so I just hoped in her bed with Brie and she snuggled in until 6.40am this morning when Mia woke us up!!!

Anyway to get to the point HOW UNCOMFORTABLE IS MIA'S BED.... NO WONDER SHE SLEEPS IN OURS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

What a great DAY!!!

Well I have had a great day today.... I got up about 7.40am, had breakfast, cleaned the kitchen WITH BLEACH mind you! We then went to dancing, we even got a little concert from the kids which is always great to see. Then it was back home to pack the girls lunches for playgroup. We came home at 1pm in I put Brie to bed and Mia sat down to watch some TV, and I finally did my ironing that has been sitting on the kitchen table for at least 2 weeks ( I hate ironing... I have the best MIL in the world who does it for me), anyway that made me feel really good for getting it done so I went in and cleaned out my wardrobe, I chucked a garbage bag of clothes out, just all the stuff I haven't worn in the last year. Then put all my clothes away and by then Brie woke up and I cleaned their bedroom up put all the books away that came out of Mia's old room - she has soooo many books to go along with her way too many toys!

We then went out the front to wait for my NEW BED.... It is half put together so now that Salt is home he can help me put the mattress on and I can't wait to go to bed tonight. Well we have just put the mattress on the bed & OMG as soon as I eat dinner I am going to bed it is AWESOME.


Anyway now that my house is clean and the ironing is done, the last load of washing is in the wash , the girls are in bed (both at 7.00pm)... I have sat down to do a bit of blog stalking and I went over to Mel Goodsell's blog and I have won this gorgeous little bear,
so that has just made my night. Thanks Mel.
Ok enough from me have a good night everybody.

{Sunday}

Not much has been happening to day, Salty went to get some bait fish with some friends and the girls & I stayed home much to Mia's disgust...... Brie has had about 20 mins sleep all day the poor little thing has a cold and today I was feeding her weet-bix and it must have gone down the wrong hole and she started sneezing alot, LMAO she had snot and weet-bix coming out her nose for a while & just when I thought it was over she would sneeze again and a bit more weet-bix would fly out!!


Today Mia was outside while I was getting the above LO done for a scrap therapy challenge, I had just finished it and was going outside to take a photo of it when I saw what she had been doing!!! our weather has just turned cold after the rain the other night and have a go at her (no wonder she has a cold) the water would have been freezing but she didn't care she was having fun. She came in and had a nice long hot shower.

Well I am off to bed I have had a crappy day dealing with the kids and I am so trying to not be cranky but when you have a husband that is never home it gets a bit trying at times.....

Hope everyone has had a nice weekend.

Amie
