A few photos to share....

Here are afew pics of what we have been up to lately. The first two is leigh and his two of his youngest cousins playing at the block.....the next is me and two neices...the shadow is in a bad spot but oh well cant help that LOL....

The next three are layouts i have done recently.......you know the trouble about printing 200 pics off at once is that you get so sick of looking at them......any one else find this,....i also like to use one pic per page and even if i plan more than one 10 to 1 i forget to use the others anyway...somehow i need to get more organised.....

Now im my last post i made a mistake....i know that no one else knows or cares but i do....hence the correction...we have been to the hockey championships at Port Lincoln and Berri, NOT Mount Gambier as i said...this was beacause Daz broke his hip and we didnt want to travel so this year it is at Port Pirie as i said but i dont know if we are going or not yet...

Happy Birthday to my honey Daz, he has caught up to me now and is finally 39 heehee.....we had rather a nasty start to the day,,,,we were travelling into the gym at quarter to 6 this morning and unfortunatley we hit a kangaroo....im glad it wasnt in my little daewoo as it may not have made it home but bad luck for the kanga that it was the toyota ute...:(

We felt really sad for it because it is only coming in for the water,,,i have seen quite a few rather close to home lately and the other day i saw an emu running thru the block at the end of my street......

Well this is a quick post as i should be doing other stuff.....have to get the man a pressie, drop zoes hbike helmet off at school, leighs hockey bag to grans and run a few errands as well....i would love to stay home today...i am thinking of seeing if Daz can take next tues off so we can get stuck into jobs around the house,,,he has spent alot of time at the block lately and they house and yard are beginning to look like no one lives here......i also want to organise getting a huge tankstand pulled down.....so we can put up a shed and we also want to build an entertaining area outside with bbq and the like....not sure when that will happen LOL

anyway have a great wed everyone and see ya about...
take care charxxx

Happy Birthday our sweet boy!

Happy birthday to the Matt man for tommorrow the 26th August. Our baby will be 14 years old. Where does the time go and i must ask where do they find that thing called *attitude*,,,grrr.

Seriously he is a very good honest and caring boy who we are very proud of but some days we could really give him away.....LOL. Im just not coping with the selfish and demanding side of this child of mine...many people have said it is a phase and im going to try to make a point of not sweating the small stuff! WIsh me luck hey :)

I also have birthday wishes to a niece on the 27th my darling hubby on the 29th, a friend with whom we are going out to tea with on Tuesday night to celebrate all three boys birthdays he has his also on the 29th.
I have another niece on the 31st august and then the one who was on the 27th her sister also has a birthday.......so there will be two 14 year olds a 11 year old and a 13 year old...HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIDS.......LUV YAS ALL

Today we had an awesome day at hockey, the weather was absolutley stunning and we had a fab time.....Leigh shot a goal in the u17s...he played u15s as well and zoe played u13 and u15.
I played B women and had a good game...i played centre and inner...not sure what i was supposed to be doing but i had fun,.....until i pulled a hammy....LOL well the muscle in your butt hat goes down your leg is that hammy????? I was running and it pulled something bad,,,,,so i sit here with the deep heat (OUCH) on it and i happen to be munching on licorice allsorts (YUMMY)

So i guess thats an okay trade off haha.
The kids are in leighs room playing xbox. A friend of leighs loaned him his as leighs is broken at the moment. Im guessing at some stage we will pay the 250 bucks to fix it...it will be cheaper than buying a PS2 when you take into account the buying of new games...does anyone know if you an play xbox games on a ps2??

We have been quite busy ltely what with one thing and another. We did some irrigation at the block on the weekend......daz and zoe have been plugging away with it all this week and there isnt a lot left to do now,,,,YAY

I worked at my LSS last weekend and had the chance to see a cricut in action, as well as a book binding thingo...sorry...i cannot remember what it was called but i want to buy the cutter one and the binder maker......i was quite impressed with the cricut but i kept seeing in my mind my embroidery sewing machine that just sits in my scrap room......im thinking thats how the cricut would end up...it was very interesting and i was very impressed with it...but i doubt i will buy one....

On to other news......i have not been doing alot of blogging due to early nights and the excuse that it takes forever to surf but i have some congrats to hand out......Janine congrats on your little sweetie Kaitlyn, Steph and to you on the birth of (Lulu) and to Nic who is expecting another precious bub congrats to you as well.......

Kathie, Mardi, Megan, Belinda, Bek and anyone i usually visit...i hope life is treating you well and sorry ive not left comments on your blogs......and Allie....hellp (waves)

My Mattman is off to Adelaide on Monday for a Hockey tournament through the school....none of us is going with him so we hope he has a fun day,,,,,,

He has expressed interest in going to Port Pirie for the State Juniour Chapionships on the Oct Long weekend. We went to Mt Gambier a few years ago then it was held locally and last year we didnt go as Daz brke his hip and we didnt think he could manage the trip.

This year we had decided to go to visit a friend at Crystal Brook so we may be able to kill two birds with one stone.......we had planned to go to Victor Harbour later in Oct so im not sure what we will actually do...maybe say bugger it and do both....i hope so anyway:) It will be nice to get away before our season stars......

Work is good for both of us and it is keeping us busy....sometimes i wish the world would stop just for a while so i can breathe,,,,,,but i know i am not the only one who feels this..........
i dont know we have all these things to help make our life easy but im sure that it doesnt always work that way....

Well im sure i have forgotten heaps of stuff to share with you but thems the breaks hey.....i always think i should jot down things as we go but im not that organised...and even if i was i would probably forget where i put it anyway.......

Take care and i will catch you later....

have a great one cya charmaine.....

few delayed layouts to share

I am uploading these layouts but a few of them are actually a couple of months old.....ive had them sitting in my scrap room, i needed to get some more album pages and besides not having the time to photo or scan the LO i ahve just let them go.

Ihave applied for a DT position so i decided i had better post some of my work here,,,,,i tend not to add too many lo pics......Hope you enjoye them......i am also hoping that at least one person is kind enough to leave a comment, im feeling quite neglected lately......although i realise it does take time to leave a comment on peoples blogs.....anyways have a great thursday......
