2009-01-15T02:32:00.000-08:00

Oh how i love to buy old books.. And its the lifeline bookfest! I will go and fill a TROLLEY this year, discarding my nana trolley as too small. I have 6 bookcases,CRAMMED and love buying MORE AND MORE BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!! ok thats enough:) still havent heard re house- im not hopeful to be honest,having 5 kids is not a good thing when it comes to renting,sad but very true. But we should find out tomorrow. Hubby back to work tomorrow, i am a little worried as to how i will cope after having him home for 3 weeks. i will mange, i usually,stress,USUALLY cope. Im going with an old photo tonight, havent chosen one yet,wait...hehehe we went out to dinner one night, the whole family, me ,Simon and our 5,Mum,Dad,my sister,my brother and his (now ex)GF. My kids were nuts, as usual, luckily it was a noisy pizza place so no one cared.Luka was about 5 months old,this is me trying to pacify BOTH my sooky boys:)

Just me and my guys tonight

2009-01-13T21:27:00.000-08:00

The girls are going rock climbing this afternoon, then sleeping at Auntie Belbies, so its just me and the boys. Simon and I have all our stuff together, and are handing rental forms in today, so itll be 48 hours before we know. went and had a look at the place, the yard is HUGE but BARE there is 1 tree! So we will se how we go, the school looks good, tiny, just what im looking for for Rani. And they could walk if they had to!
It is getting toward Feb 2nd, the date i lost (1 of ) my baby. Poor little Angel, i was 12 weeks, just starting to get a little pot belly. And had bought the 'home from hospital' outfit. And started to bleed. So i went for an ultrasound (thanks Doc #2), after being told by Doc #1 ' youre overreacting, go home' . And he ( im sure it was ) was dead. And they said ' well it cant stay there, IT will have to be removed' oh my baby.... so thats what happened. and i know i have 5 healthy babies, still never forget my Angel, and my 2 other babies lost earlier in pregnancy ...So i will mark the 9th anniversary by cuddleing the kids EXTRA hard, and reading them that extra story, cos i know how blessed i am...

someone REALLY loved my sausage rolls last night,mmmmm

The holidays are almost over- not that i got any:)

2009-01-12T23:57:00.000-08:00

Well its only 1 week until Simon goes back to work, and 2 weeks until the kids go back. Applying for a house in the morning- and although i realise we HAVE to move, i am a little sad. We have brang 3 babies home to this house. Conceived our 2 longed-for-sons. Saved our marriage(after awful 2008) All these memories... Painting that 3rd bedroom in BLUE(that was a great moment) playing Bratz in the barbie dream house under Ranis window, 7 christmases, countless birthdays, our wedding (finally), it goes on and on. I know ill love a new house, and this neighborhood is AWFUL i dont want to raise my babies here, but i will be a little sad...
On another hand altogether, i have been really snap happy all day, the camera hasnt left m y side. Looking at all the blogs on here, amazing photos, i am INSPIRED... Im excited i managed to get a few good shots of Lukas eyes, they are so amazing suck me right in... Thinking today about how much he has grown, seems like only a little while ago he was so tiny,those little froggy legs and fuzzy little head...My sweet little Lulu (nickname of the moment ,or Lou), dont stop being a mummas boy xxx Tried to get a picture of all the kids on the trampoline this afternoon, this is the best of a very bad bunch,lol, Luka was NOT co-operating...

2009-01-12T15:54:00.000-08:00

Early risers, Luka and i , usually up by 5:30am... Too early! I am feeling inspired today, have already gotten both cameras out, and plan on doing a quick clean so i can concentrate on taking pictures. Already took this one of Luka , too show off his eyes- they are like glass, deep blue, with a brown stripe in the left.

I am overwhelmed!!

2009-01-11T16:02:00.000-08:00

i really swore to myself that i would be on here EVERYDAY!! well i had good intentions anyway,lol. Christmas is over, a crazyhouse of wrapping paper and toys, i love it. Luka was really into it this year, and loved all his presents,especially the ark Santa bought. Now there is only 2 weeks of holidays left, and we have to move BEFORE school starts, ooooh noooo i am starting to get stressed out!! We have had a fun holiday though, spending time with friends, a trip to the river for the day, and another to Bribie Island.

Could we possibly put xmas off by a month or so???

2008-12-16T16:20:00.000-08:00

Despite the fact that i was getting pretty excited wrapping the presents last night, i am just too unorganized this year... Dakota was in the choir at the carols last weekend, i was so proud of her:)
The school year is OVER, whew, everyone always starts to get so cranky towards the end of the year. it has been a big year,exhausting to say the least.
The obligatory family Christmas picture- sosososo hard getting 7 people to all look in one direction with no cheeky face on:)

Jai LOVED the toy run, the best way to describe- we sit on our folding chairs out on the footpath for an hour waiting, then watch the motorbikes and wave and listen to Jai going OH MY GOD for an hour, then eat melting lollies that they throw at us...fun times,lol, i will miss it when we move(soon)

Aaah The Fatboy

2008-11-30T23:18:00.000-08:00

Oh my fatboy, my sweet boy Luka, look at his big grin:)

What a little charmer he is... From his little royal wave, to his love of boobs, he really is my darling buddah boy.Look at him,this is his first birthday, after 'tasting' the cake!

He is not keen to be weaned, and seeing how much he LOVES it, i cant bear to do it, so my time away is limited, but thats okay with me:)

what camera?

2008-11-30T18:17:00.000-08:00

getting my slr in about 2 weeks,looking at other peoples pics on here making me anxious! cant wait until i take my first picture! I am leaning towards the Sony Alpha, but im not sure.
Its very quiet here, buddah boy Luka sleeping, and im pretty sure Simon snuck off for a nap too. It has been horrible and hot all weekend, today is no different.
Jai is playing quitely in his room, and the 3 girls are at school, i dont mind saying they are driving me CRAZY at the moment, with the room cleaning, or should i say, non-cleaning. Hopefully when we move, and they have their own rooms, it will improve...
Really having trouble deciding on a camera, found a website that told you'the best digital slr for you' first you had to decide your photo'style' ie portraits etc... well i love taking portaits,landscapes,action shots,night shots(although my fuji 8100 is crap at night shots) and i LOVE my macro button:) so im struggling...

Some photos

Day 1-monday 1st December

2008-11-30T15:39:00.000-08:00

so heres my fist blog- starting today at 5:30am! Luka is still sick, just the flu, but a very miserable bubba all the same. i want to take him and Jai out today, to take some photos, but i dont think hes in the mood:(

its a pity the botanical gardens are far away, im loving taking flower pictures at the moment and i guess ill need some in my application portfolio for tafe next year.

2 weeks to go until the last day of school, then the rush of xmas, since i am not organised at all, in years past i would be done by now, but 2008 has been a weird year, i feel as though 2009 must be better. we will be moving soon after xmas too, so i will have to find a new school and all that, the kids will probably miss the first few weeks while i get them organised...ill have to put another blog on leter, a strictly photos one, id lve hearing any comments on my pictures:)
