My Birthday Boy

Earlier this month Brock turned 4.
There are a lot of photos here, but you only turn 4 once!

A couple of cards .....

...... It's better than nothing .... right?

Just Because....

I thought that it was about time that i updated here with something ..... so here are some photos.

My Crazy Boy

These photos were taken at the Roma St Parklands. I could have also titled this one ''Psycho Child" because that is exactly what he was, I think it was the noise and spray from the waterfall that had him so excited and skipping and dancing around like a lunatic. It was so funny to watch .... Oh to be 3 again!

More Cuteness

This is a LO using Prima Paintables, I dusted off the old water colour pencils for this one but have still somehow managed to make it overly bright ..... that was not the effect that i was aiming for but I guess it looks alright for a first attempt and with Amber as the subject how could I go wrong?




This is just a photo I took of Heath this morning, he loves this toy as much a Brock did at about the same age and can roll around on the floor with it for hours!

Tyler - All Girl

I am so lucky to have such beautiful Nieces to use up all my pretty, girly stash on. Here is another LO of the gorgeous Miss Tyler. Her love of Green inspired the colours I chose for this one!






....Pretty bright hey? ;-)

More Heath

I wish I was good at writing amusing and witty anecdotes about all the goings on in my everyday life, but unfortunately I am not, so I think i will just stick to sharing pretty pictures for now and save the monotony of my life for another day.


...... And I don't think they get much prettier than this face .... I just wanna smooch it all day!

My Dreamboat

I LOOOOVE his sweet face!

A Rose With No Thorns

Here is another beauty from our garden. The bush that this one came from has another 8 buds about to pop any day now so there will be more of this delish pink goodness to capture.


This is what Brock was doing while I was trying to photograph the Rose .... he kept telling me that I was getting in his way.




......and this is what my other gorgeous boy was doing!

PS Playing

I thought I would have a play in Photoshop while Heath was sleeping today, there isn't much else I can do as it is very miserable weather here at the moment. Mark has the day off because all roads are cut off due to flooding ...... Brock can shadow him for the day. Well lets just say that Heaths nap went longer than I had expected and this is the end result - a little heavy on the brush work but I like it! This carnation was picked from our garden.

Got a spare minute?

.... Because i never seem to have many spare lately! I haven't got any scraping to share since finally unpacking my things in our new house but I have been a little snap happy trying out the new lens that my gorgeous boys got me for Mothers day, Here are just a few of my fave pix so far.

Last Layout....

This is my last LO for my LSS as we are moving soon and I will no longer be within walking distance to the shop and I will not be able to drop in there as frequently anymore :-( I have used this photo of Tyler at Christmas before but it just matched this pack so beautifully that I had to use it again.
I will try to find the time to upload some more pix of my littlest man soon.

Easter Pix

Finally.....

I get some time to do a LO and it is not of my gorgeous new boy! This is one that I started before Heath was born and I finally got a bit of time to finish it!
This is my parents dog Brodie who we lost earlier this year at almost 15yrs old - she was a gentle natured dog that was fantastic with the kids too.

Keeping Busy

I have come to the conclusion that this baby is just going to stay put for eternity..... I will always roll out of bed and walk with a waddle, my feet will forever look like footballs with stubs on the ends and I will never have a tight 6 pack of Billy Blank type aba-daba's again! (not that I ever did).

I shall happily continue to have people wait on me, I'll just suck up all their sympathy with no guilt while I spend my days gleefully scrapping away as this baby gets increasingly bigger until I do actually explode sometime around it's 21st birthday I estimate.
Here is the first LO I have completed since retiring myself to the fact that this 'condition' is now my FOREVER!

Yep!..... love being pregnant but I am so TOTALLY OVER IT now! ;-p

Happy Birthday

Firstly to my Dad, he has been kind enough to share this date with me for -- years. Here is the card I made for him. I didn't get to see Dad today but he doesn't have the internet so I am not ruining any surprises by showing it!





















I got another bead for my Pandora bracelet from my Sister - That would be the one that says 'SISTER' - I got her a different Sister one for her birthday too which was a week earlier. There is no bracelet in this photo as that is what my Parents got me and I didn't get to see them today - but they look pretty anyway. I bought the other beads as a pressie for myself.



I also got this printer from Mark and Brock. I have been in desperate need of one for some time now. Mark is happy that it also prints on CDs. Can't wait to play with it tonight!













We spent a lovely afternoon at my Brothers house for lunch and this is what my uber talented SIL Renita found the time to make for me, it is so cool and I love the funky pattern with the bright pink lining there are little pockets in it too - she so clever!





















Unfortunately no sign of Bub arriving today, I was hoping for a third generation on the first but at least it is going to be a Pisces.
