Its been far to long

Oh, weeks, no months oh actually could even be a year or two since posting.
I am  on a mission to be a better mummy blogger and again document the girls growing up and our family life.
I have been pretty slack with taking pictures of the girls lately, and even when i do they end up on the hard drive and never seen or touched.

As I have some spare time in the next two months I thought it would be great going back over images of the girls and document.

Today Ellie is with me, No kindy :D
Ellie loves kindy, last year she was at times rather difficult to drop off but this year she is in their doing her thing and becoming that leader she loves being. (watch out girls)
Its her last year of being home, so its nice that I am also able to be home with her parttime.

Taylee and Jazz are LOVING school, and I am so proud of what they acheived last year and excited to see them continue on their journey this year.
Taylee was a little anxious this year, she has moved to the upper primary area and in a class with little friends from last year.
But day three and she is LOVING it, loves her ew mates, adores her teacher and is now little miss confident. Love it. She is miss yr 4.

Jazz took to her first day of year 2, like she would. With contentment and excitment. She just strolls in and is mates with everyone. Jazz has also broadened her friendship circles which i love.

Below are some snaps of Ellie today playing with some freshly made playdough.

documenting our life

Straight out of camera..

I need to get back ontop of my documenting true moments in our home.
I LOVE looking back on what we get up to months, years later. Its a great way to keep a record of whats happening and what the girls are up to.
Today Ellie is unwell and in bed super dooper early for her day sleep. Left Taylee and Jazzt not knowing what to do. So craft time outside!

I had girls school interviews last week, and when speaking to Jazzies teacher he said she was such a wonderful student. She is 100% focused on task at hand, and aims to do her very best. She seems to block out the goings on around her and just focuses on her project what ever that may be.

That is jazz in a nutshell. Its hard to even get her to crack a smile though her doings. She is so damn focuses. (no idea where she got that from, certainly not me)

I told jazzy I had a fly on my nose and she looked but no smile lol..... BUT i did break her concentration to get her to FAKE smile for me :D

Love this kid LOVE LOVE LOVE xxxx

Busy at work

So busy trying to catchup on work... Today we have been out getting Ellie fitted for a gorgeous lace number for Taryns wedding in two weeks time, then home for a day of working. BUT with Ellie as my annoyingly GORGEOUS assistant, we needed to set up something fun for her to do. Today we chose the teepee, dressups and the dog :D Had to Quickly grab some snaps of the gorgeous soul.

Ok. she is now sleeping, Head down bum up and WORK heids work.

Summer is over but a few days left for beach in Autumn

My girls and the beach = the BEST time ever. While I sit on the sand with my feet curled in a little hole i have dug, arms wrapped around myself to keep me warm, Taylee and Jazz are waist deep laughing and playing games in the sea. Ellie running in and out of waves giggling and calling to me to watch.
Sitting there my heart begins to fill with so much love, so much happiness. HOW can I be so lucky? HOW can I have these three little amazing people call me Mummy? HOW lucky we live somewhere that my girls can swim after school or homework in this case?

Its beginning to be less and less that we make a trip to the beach as the weather hasn't been great. But this week has been amazing, actually reminds me of that feeling in Spring. The one where you have been inside for so long and that nice warm sun come out just a smidge that you just HAVE t get out and catch it while its there.

I am off again to canberra tomorrow for work with JinkyArt which i LOVE. I do miss my girls and LOVE coming home very late sSunday night and giving them a sleep kiss and cuddles. LOVE them SO much

34 degress at 10am

Summer may have gone, but we are still taking full advantage of this gorgeous 'hot' late Summer weather in Autumn. We haven't seen to much hot weather this year, but I think we have spent a lot more time down the beach this year more than any other. 

When we get to the beach with Taylee and Jazz, they are out of the car and in the water within seconds. 

Going a little too deep for my liking at times, but they have the best time. We don't have to spend long down there, as long as they get themselves in the water, hair wet and jump some waves..they come home happy. 

Ellie on the other hand has not loved the beach....up until now!

She used to scream, cry, punch, runaway when we finally got to the waters edge to put towels down. I don't know when or where we turned the corner from miserable beach babe Ellie to cant get enough of it Ellie.

So after school drop off, and late breakie. Ellie and I went for a play under the Jetty. She was non stop running, jumping, singing dancing and splashing!

 But for now..... Beach babes Elle

Finding the 'right' way to blog

We are back from our trip to Melbourne!

I think it was the first trip (driving) to Melbourne that I realised maybe flying isn't such a bad option.
With the bantering and niggles almost the entire trip It could have been a much nicer start without it.
BUT thats only 8 hours of our trip, the rest was GREAT fun.  I will post about the Melbourne trip once I have all the picture to tell the story.

I am still trying to decide how I want this blog to roll.
I know I decided to start this blog to document our lives as a family. I am just finding it hard how to put i t into words?! I have never been very good at that, and don't know if i should start here.

I do know that I want to document our lives as it is, and truly capture the girls as they are TODAY.
I just adore them, and forever want them to know how much Aaron and I just live every moment for them. They are little stars they are little gremlins. WE ADORE them and we LOVE our little family.

So I am going to continue on blogging pictures and writting how Im feeling and HOPEFULLY I can find my thing soon :D

A post is NOTHING without an image and here is Jazz.
I am going to blow this baby up for her room.

THIS is Jazz. She is really the delicate little dreamer.
Jazz has a lot to teach me, she has SO much time for others, so much time in her own little magical world, so much love and snuggles for anyone needing a little happiness.
I need to be more like Jazzy

Elllies First Comic Strip

Because we all need a comic strip!!!

Dancer

Jazzy our dancer, showing me a little dance :D

Kel and Tims Wedding

Its been none stop around here lately.

Taylee and Jazz have really settled into their new school so well. It was a hectic hard week the first week. But they are amazing me how quickly they have found new friend, how quickly they adapt.
 I however Miss my old girls like crazy in the school yard. Im the total nigel no friends at pick up. Saying that I am actually really enjoying the down time with the girls. I used to walk through the school gates and it was social hour straight away. It was at times to much for me to handle and felt  it took away from the girls, I could have been in the class with the girls and settling them into the day. Now with no option for a chin wag I am actually LOVING that morning settling (at times hard with crazy pants Ellie running about getting into everything).

We have been busy with parties, family, anniversary, weddings weddings weddings... oh and babies

But today I would like to share a pic of my gorgeous friend Kel and her hunky husband Tim, who got married on the weekend. 

I have know Kel for over 15 years. She is amazing, hilarious and I would say a bad influence on me when I am about town or at the footy barracking on the crows!! 

Kel and I

The happy gorgeous couple

Jazzy

Jazzy girl, OMG how much you make me laugh.
This was taken at my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. I tried to get a nice pic of Jazz but she was just a cracker and was having the best time with all her cousins that she wouldn't stop for a breath.
Its funny, I was worried when I had taylee young that my children will miss out on having cousins the same age as them. I LOVED growing up with my cousins, family is truly the best.

Lucky my cousins had started having children around the same time as I, as now im not to sad about my girls having 'real' cousins around their age. They DO have cousins their age and they are best of friends.
So when we go see my grandparents, my girls LOVE it as they get to spend so much time, sleeping over, dress ups, ds-athons and dancing.

Jazz is just so ridiculously happy when we are around her cousins... I LOVE that smile

We have been so busy of late, weddings, family visiting, work and new school. I need to document life more :D

Teds sleepover

Looking through the window and there he was.
Slumped on the floor.
So close, so very close
yet so far.

Why didn't I notice?
Why didn't Ellie need him earlier?
Why why why does this store not do late night shopping on a thursday......?

He had a great time, all the toys in store I am sure got up to some fun times. He looked happy when we went to get him the next day.

Fresh air and healthy babes… is what we are after

December 11, 2010

It has been a very sad hectic emotional month here in our house hold. We are usually all smiles and laughter, But when you get struck down with the chicken pox with one child then gastro and then only days after gastro when the first one is just healing from chicken pox, The other two get it. It gets a little tough.
But I am so proud of the girls, they have been miserable but you also get to see smiles.
We can't wait for it all to pass. Taylee and Jazz are almost 100% and poor Ellie is still struggling alittle but it will only be a day or so longer of no sleep and crying and she will be back to her crazy gorgeous self.

Summer

Summer is here at last. We don’t know for how long.
So we are taking full advantage of these gorgeous summer days, with afternoon swims in the pool, at the beach and dinners outside taking it all in.
LOVE SUMMER!! Its beginning to feel alot like Christmas.

Bananas

First day of our Holiday.
Umm.. yes, you see right it is a Caravan! I know dorky!
But LOADS of fun
