BMX Bandits....well....wannabe's

As Promised, here are some pics from our BMX Bandit moment! This is the biggest Bandit of all......my 32 year old ......child at heart husband! OMG!! As soon as Paul made contact with the above bike....(which is actually a GIRLS MODEL)...he became some what of a dare devil...complete with bunny hops and monnos!!! I truly did not realize the skill this boy had bottled up inside! (Cough...cough!)..

What can I say.....she kept me in a state of constant worry! Tyne zoomed around the BMX track like a bat out of a cage....at full throttle, and came a cropper many times! Her helmet was a bit of a hazard..... her head must be really small and it kept sliding off to one side. Note to self....buy Tyne a new helmet!

And this BMX Bandit.....Lily, who was very cautious the entire way around the track....smart girl!! ...Just like her Mum!!

........And this is Ammy going off road! Check out the socks....she dressed herself on this day...so I can't take the credit for her awesome sense of fashion!!

And what utter disappointment....I haven't finished photo shopping my picture....next time!!

Arrgh!!

Hope you all had a great Australia Day....wherever you are!! I have some great pics and random stuff to post...but...blogger seems to be getting the better of me tonight.......having upload issues....tomorrow ...I promise.
Crazy to think that this time three years ago...I was in labour! And tomorrow at 3:40am...Amryn Grace Bosko arrived into this world.....in full throttle and she hasn't showed signs of slowing...AT ALL!!!
So...today I spent about 3 hours making and decorating her cake and party nibbles! I will post pics too!

In other random news........I have some layouts appearing in up and coming issues of SBM and Creations.......

I am sad for Jo Wilifred Tsonga as I was behind him all the way for the Aussie Open.....

Both Lily and Amryn have had their ears pierced.....it's all Am wanted for her Birthday and Lily joined in for some fast pain too!! On impact she didn't know whether to laugh or cry....so she laughed and kept repeating....."gee that hurt......"
Am, on the other hand, froze with the shock of what had actually happened to her ears, and then caught sight of them in the mirror and started loving herself fully!

We went to the BMX track with the kidlets and I made my riding comeback after 10 years .......and I have pictures to prove it!! It's not pretty, but Paul thought the event should be fully documented and proceeded to snap way too many photos of me in my kinda scared...out of control state!!! .....I'll keep you in your suspender's for those...cause they are gold!!! Truly!!! To be posted!!

That's about it in my little world atm.....plan to do some lo's this week and maybe some ironing...as my pile is still growing!!

Uroo

This Is My Space

Here are some random pics of my little scrap room. I love coming in here after the kidlets are all tucked away in bed and pottering....it's so relaxing!
Nothing much else going down in my world atm.......really loving the freedom of school holidays......and not loving my growing ironing pile!!

Crimps, Cross Eyes and Bikes!

Lily has finally done it!!! She can now ride without trainer wheels! A huge triumph for my very cautious, sensible non risk taker. We are almost as proud of her as she is......the smile was permanent for quite some time! She has even gained the confidence to ride on the road with us. I must admit....I'm finding it hard to think about the fact that she will be eight this May. She has grown up right before my eyes.........much too quickly. And she keeps doing really clever things.....like explain to Paul and I that we have a cd stacker in the boot of the car! How funny is that? Us....her adult parents....did not take any notice of the black device in the boot of our car. It wasn't listed as a feature when we bought it...so for.....Oh......6 months...we drove around listening to the radio, until Lily took me by the hand one day and said..."Look Mum...it says it's a cd and stacker"! Bonus! Thanks Lily for pointing that out. Oh...children of today! So switched on........not anything like their parents! Ha Ha!!...........And take a look at Am...down there......

Check her out! Ammy was in disbelief! How could she eat an entire lolly pop? She had us all in fits of laughter with her crossed eyes. Did I mention that I found a huge chunk of blonde crimped hair under her bed......When I quizzed her about it...she was adamant that "No, I no cut my own's hair"! Then I found the scissors hidden in her bed...little ratbag...she has two major chunks missing from each side....at least she was symmetrical with her hacking...I guess! This is self hair cut number 3!

And...after what seemed like hours.......the mission was complete......hair was crimped and all the children were hap....hap...happy! (For some reason....Lily's pics were blurry....probably from all the hair flicking she was doing!)

I'm watching Jerry Maguire atm......I've probably seen this movie too many times too mention, and everytime I end up in tears! Happy tears! It's about the only movie I like Tom Cruise in!

Ello Creations

We love Ello in our house! The girls spend hours creating all sorts! Today was no exception, so I thought I'd take some photos....plan a layout.....so we'll always remember.

Awards For Excellence

These layouts were part of the folio I sent to For Keeps, along with "Behind this Gate". Dear Lily contains a letter written by me to her and features a lot of sewing and a hidden pull out. The scan unfortunately didn't pick it up.
Gentle Man is a personal fav. Love the girls with their Daddy. Ammy was just a freshie here. And now.....she is nearly 3! Where does the time go! It also contains a journal pull out.
And this one is Ammy! "Peek A Boo". Do I need to say more......she is just too cheeky!! I tucked a Hambly journaling bit in behind her photo. I do that a lot I have just realized!!
And lastly, "She Plays" a LO of Lily practising on our piano.....she started lessons last year and loves it!
I have had a great week in the creative dept.....produced lots of lo's...I'll share them with you soon!
Take Care all!

Spilling The Beans!!

Well...after what seems like forever.....I can now reveal that I have won the For Keeps "Awards For Excellence in Photography" for the above layout. I received a parcel from them a few months back with the announcement...and it's taken some serious control to keep it to myself .....until now! Yippee!!!
The Journaling Reads " Behind this gate is a house that echoes with the laughter of children and embraces a loving family...our safe place where happiness lives and friends are always welcome and family is everything".
Also...a big plug for Bec Spicer who has "2" layouts in this edition........go Mount Gambier!!!
