Warning! Extremely long post...

Well I thought only Bronny was reading this so haven't been bothered updating it in ages. But apparently there are others out there too (Hi Wendy!!) So I had better keep on top of blogging this year. Consequently have tonnes of pics and a few LOs to upload, bear with me. Can't believe it is almost mid march. We have been a bit busy over feb with Q starting back at school and Aislinn going to kindy and ballet on mondays.


Aislinn has been doing morning kindy on a monday and is really coming out of herself since she started, she does ballet in the afternoon and loves it and is too cute all dressed up in her uniform. She turned 4 on the 27th feb, dunno where my baby has gone, she is looking so grown up these days. We did the cake and junk food thing at playcentre, she had a pool cake and as you can't get blue jelly here, the water was red - looks kinda gross! Then we headed to Foxton beach for our holiday.


We didn't have very good weather, was cloudy and a cold wind for most of the time so we did more fishing than time on the beach - caught nothing though! Here are some pics from the holiday. We left early on the friday as we had gotten sick of the weather and had to go to taupo to pick up our new puppy on saturday.





Quinn took this one of Aislinn and I on the hammock.






So I decided to get a new puppy, her name is Roxy and she is a Blue Merle (aussie cattle dog) she has been with us a week and hopefully is beggining to settle in. Taz doesn't like her and growls and snaps whenever she goes near him. She is a lovely little girl and into everything - Aislinn reckons she is her puppy.

Peter and I celebrated our 7th anniversary last sunday - dunno where 7 years went, can't believe it is nearly a decade. He reckons you get less time for murder - obviously it wasn't his romantic side I married him for!

Quinn went off on his first school camp this week, Apiti school all went to Kapiti Island for 2 nights, his first time in a tent. he had a blast even caught 2 fish. I just hope they took some pics for us. He is going into hospital to have his grommets and adenoids done on Thursday - I am a little nervous but thinking how lovely it will be to have no ear infections this winter.

Today we have been over to my brother's to celebrate my nephew Cameron's 3rd birthday, it was so cool to see Aislinn and him playing really well together. I finally got a photo of all 4 grandkids together so my mum and nanna will be pleased to get a copy of this one.

On the scrapping front, I have only done about 6 pages so far this year and a majority of those are scraplifted as my brain has no ideas in it at the moment.

First up is a scraplift of the lovely Rachel Hoskings, I love how she uses SR. Hope you don't mind Rach ;)

Next is one of Aislinn at not quite 2 playing peeka boo at Kids Own in Masterton, love the new crate paper and the lil davis glitter alphas oh and my new fave heidi swapp bling.

More new crate paper, Quinny at his school final assembly looking all small and overwhelmed - another scrap lift of a Rach LO.

This one is original, this is Roxy and her sisters and brother, I liked the star thing on the last one and did it again on this LO.

I have 2 more to photograph yet, need to find a lime green button to finish on though.

Not much news on the job front, Peter is applying for a farm managers job within the Hopkins group, which is near Opiki just out of Palmy which would be fab. there isn't alot being advertised at the moment, so i am hoping he will be in the running for this one, would be nice to know where we are going before May.

Well that is about me, will try and update this next weekend. Have a good week all.
