Especially for Grandad!

Yes I do know very long time no posting, naughty blogger! Here's some of the latest pics of the kids. Braiden smiles and giggles a lot now, LJ is learning so many new words, phrases and names that I just can't keep up with it all.

Will post some newer pics soon but have to organise laptop so desktop computer can get cleaned and debugged.

Love you!

Been a while crocodile...

Howdy strangers, hope you are well?

We're doing good! LJ has a slight cold but other than that is fine, Braiden seems to be growing faster than LJ ever did, but that could just be my memory playing tricks on me!


I took this pic of them last week, LJ cried until I would let her hold him, which she call 'help' too cute!

Make sure you check out the link in the post below and find out what season you are. I've always known that I prefer summer to any other season but now it's totally official. When you've found out what season you are email us and let us know.

Last but not least how could you not love a guy that buys you a Muzz Buzz hot chocolate on his way home just because he can. Love Muzz Buzz and Boost Juice!

I LOVE SUMMER!

It's official, I'm a summer gal!

You Belong in Summer

Energetic, creative, and very curious about the world... You're not going to let anything hold you back, especially a cold day. Whether you're chilling out at the beach or partying all night, you live for the warm weather.

What Season Are You?

Howdy!

Just wanted to post some recent pictures, I don't really have much to write, LJ is great everyday is something new. She learnt how to hold the watering can and water the pot plants, and I love these picture of her by the big tree in the backyard, that day she took up hiding in the trees. About a week later we had 48mm of rain up here, go figure. david took the picture of my pregnant tummy about a month ago, I'm probably a little bit bigger than that and at the moment I am addicted to peanut butter sandwiches, I ate like 4 of them yesterday. The bottom picture is of LJ playing on her swing set out the front, though it actually needs a new swing, but considering we got it for free, I ain't complaining. Have a good weekend!!

Time for an update!

We are all doing great, baby included. The ultrasound pic is from our first ultrasound, bub looks much the same just bigger. This baby wriggles more than Lakiesha ever did, I'm starting to think it's going to be an acrobat or gymnast.


Lakiesha is learning new words all the time unfortunately she picked up on saying sh*t! Charming! So what have we been up to since I last posted, well we are now the proud owners of a red 1989 Nissan Patrol, which we took 4wd the very next day, to the beach at Pipidinny, which was Lakiesha's first real beach trip, she absolutely loved it. Once she got in the water with daddy's help she absolutely had a ball and didn't want to get out of the water even though it was windy, very sandy and a little chilly.

On the 11th of February, David's sister Cheryl, gave birth to a tiny baby boy. Callan Kane looks a bit beat up in the below pic as he had a hard delivery, suction cups and 2 sets of forceps later and out he came.

One day at Playgroup we did painting, so we could display artwork at a community event that we had a stall at, Lakiesha got right into it and painted 3 pictures on the easels as well as walking along the laid out paper to make footprints for our background display. She was absolutely covered in paint by the time she had finished but the important thing was that she'd had fun!

We met this little guy in our backyard at first he was hiding from us under the bush, but pretty soon he came out for a wander around, we got to see him up fairly close and even got some video footage of him eating a bit of bread that we'd actually thrown out to the magpies who come through our yard nearly every afternoon. I'm not sure exactly what he is I thought he looked a bit like a bilby but I'm not sure, I figured that because he was eating bread he's not a carnivore.


A picture taken of Lakiesha on our back verandah, she'd beed cuddling the pole and it had looked really cute but she wouldn't pose for me for this picture and instead pulled a funny face at me before trying to steal my camera.

In Fabric and Button Heaven!!!

I found this totally cute bag of buttons at a local craft store. $9.00 for all these citrus coloured buttons in pinks, oranges, yellows, blues & greens. There's round ones, square ones, sparkly glittery ones, small ones, big ones, some that look like doughnuts. Totally awesome!

I've had a lot of this fabric for a while I had just stuck it in a storage container and forgotten about it so I am now determined to start using it for projects, some scrapping, some just fun have a go and play stuff.


I found this felt at textile traders (then I found it at a craft store for 5c cheaper which adds up if you buy a fair few pieces!) I found a totally cool project to make with felt so I am starting a felt collection. It's a tissue box cover for small square tissue boxes. Really nice and looks fun to make!

Jumping for joy...

for more than one reason, the first being that we are PREGNANT! and expecting our second child on the 17th of July. (Will post an ultrasound pic of the little one when we get our desktop computer back) The second being that my computer caught a nasty virus and it appears I haven't lost anything off of it. Can't wait to get it back and double check and back up all my beautiful pictures. Joyous!

The only bad stuff that's going on at the moment is with Lakiesha, she's in the wars again. While we were up in Dongara last weekend she got a heat rash on her leg, which became very sore and started peeling, she was one unhappy chappy. Then yesterday she was trying to stand in one of her toy buckets, which slipped out from under her and she fell down and hit her head on her wooden kids table, she had a lump on her head the size of an egg and it bruised and is all purple and blue! Charming not to mention she was screaming and crying so much that I started to cry. Oh the joys of being a parent, well it is joyous most of the time.

Take care love to you all. xoxo

Somebody save my sanity....

Ok so I started off the new year by checking emails etc.. not bad, then I need to update the program that I use for my digital pics in retrospect a dumb idea without first backing up all of my pictures but I didn't and now I am praying for a miracle. My desktop computer has completely crashed and I think I probably made it worse by trying to fix it! Anyway I am now praying that I can get some if not all of my most recent unbacked up pictures back. We'll see what happens in the next few weeks but even if I can get nothing else back I want my pictures, memories of random everyday bits and pieces of our life. However it's a tough lesson if you take digital pictures make sure you back them all up. I think I am going to start doing that as soon as I have loaded them onto the computer from now on, maybe it'll save some heartache in the future. Sad but true...
