Last but not least 

Hubby & I celebrated 16yrs of marriage yesterday and what better way to spend it than at the papercraft show lol, yes despite what most would think hubby loves to go, he is often seen with his head over my shoulder while I watch you tube videos on the latest products or my fav artists at work, & he sits by my side every now and then while I create so I don't get lonely he says but I think he just likes to watch lol.

I even got a bunch of flowers, which if you knew my hubby you would think oh my god whats he done as they are very few and far between but I have come to learn that its just because he loves me and not because he is in trouble.

One last post for today a couple of random photos to share

My mum made this photo of Alannah in the bowl and Immy on the outside

A resent find in our bag of spuds

Miss Imogen and her beautiful blue eyes

Photo of the girls from the Botanical Gardens last week

Coral took this photo on her trip out.

Coral, Shy, Bb & Nan had a ball in Darling Harbour the other night, thanks for taking them mum.

A couple of pics of my beautiful eldest daughter her partner and my new grandson. I'm so proud of her and her new family.

Hi all, I'm a little behind with things at the moment we have been renevating our girls room which was the garage and it involved pulling walls down and re-building them so they had a bigger bedroom, and we build new cupboard and shelves for each of the 4 girls in there and with only hubby and I doing it, it was a long 3 weeks of kids camping in other rooms, the smell of paint thru the house & sawdust everywhere.




 

This is the roof painted in blue with white clouds and glow in the dark stars cut with our cutting machine

 

 

 

Shyanne's bed with her own shelves and the peach door is a private cupboard for her.

 

 

Still putting doors on the clothing shelves and hanging space, green door is private cupboard for Ellalese.

 

 

Other side of the room has Alannah her private cupboard now has a door lol, the Ellalese's bed and shelves and Briony on the other end with her purple door private cupboard.

 

So for once they all have beds on the floor no more bunks, they have shelves each instead of having to share, and a special cupboard that the other girls can not get into. SO the she took my stuff or she touched my stuff is a thing of the past. Well I can dream can't I.

Nana

Well that word finally came true yesterday, so at only 39yr I became a Nana to a beautiful baby boy named William, Son for my eldest Jessica and her partner Scott, congratulations and well done he's beautiful and a big boy at 9p 3oz thank god for a c-sec lol.



A perfect timing photo to share of Imogen



Miss Shyanne turns 12, only one more year and I will have another teenager, Boy I'm feeling somwhat old.



Another cake made by me.... the request was a big blue cupcake with little cupcakes.

Another birthday (s) roll around, this month we have 2

Briony turns 10 with her home made Bumble Bee cake



And it's my 39th birthday and my beautiful 16yr old daughter Coral-lee made me my very own birthday cake.

A recent trip to Pixi photos saw our wallet hurting and very empty as they always leave you feeling.

But a great photo to take home.



...Happy First Birthday Imogen...

Only a week later on the other scale our baby of the family celebrates her very first birthday.

I'm guessing the first thing on her mind is to play, eat & sleep.

One super large rubber ducky balloon

A Leap Frog Birthday Cake to play with

A big jumping Zebra to play on

Rubber Ducky Birthday Cake

And a cake all of her own to destroy, well almost she was so tired by this stage and getting over a 48hr virus we had to help her along and the majority of the cake stayed intact lol. So much for some really cool messy photos to scrap.



....Sweet 16....

Well my not so little baby girls is entering the next stage of life the not quite big enough for somethings but old enough now for others and the first thing on her mind is to get her drivers licence, God help us .... lol.



Finally a photo of all 8 kids together



5th Birthday for Alannah

Had to be a Scooby Doo one I stayed up until 2am finishing her cake so it would be a suprise on sunday morning.



First Day of Big School

Miss Alannah has been waiting for this moment for months now counting down the day of pre-school until big school (kindy) started.

She had to wait for Christmas, Holidays, pre-school to finish, some of her sisters start the new year of school, her big sister going back to high school and then had to sit an interview with the kindy teachers all before she could put on her uniform, pack her bag, pick out some lunch and head to kindy.

Our little Alannah girl is a big girl now

Lana had her pre-school graduation last week and in 2mths she will be off to Kindergarden.
