Catching up from last week,
I finished the BLACK & WHITE album!! for those who know it was my nieces deb album for her with a colour theme of black and white and silver. I'm quite pleased with it and will give it to her for Chrissy. I will post photos when I get them off my camera.
Jimmy was great, he chatted for about half an hour then left us to watch his new DVD.
He also has a new CD out which I have already got of course. Thanks Louisefor a good night, haven't caught up with her for ages either. Work has been busy with one thing or another coming up, I don't notice how much it takes its toll until I get home or its my day off, then I find I'm really buggered! I'm looking forward to next year, a lot of fresh starts. Speaking of work, I have enrolled in a 2year part time course to upgrade my qualification. This will start next year so that will definitely keep me even more busy at work.
The verdict came in from my orthodontist - braces on the top teeth to start with and then in few months the bottom ones will get put on. Yay the next 2 years will consist of braces and study!! I have just about finished my Christmas shopping with only 2 more pressies to buy. That amount will expand I'm sure when there's little ones you forget about. Not much other news around here, lots coming up though with the silly season approaching.
Going to Scraptacular tomorrow for a demo day which should be good as its also incorporating a raffle and proceeds going to Crop For Kids.
Bek, when are we cathcing up?!! The weeks are zooming by I dont know where the time is going. Dont think Im not thinking of you tho!!

Back to busy
well not really, had some quiet times so there wasnt much to tell so I got lazy then everything got busy again.
Lets see whats been happening......... Maybe I start from the most recent.
Last night John and I went and stayed at the Royce hotel in st kilda road. Somme of the rooms were renovated so we got one with a huge plasma on the wall and a little one in the bathroom so we could have a spa and watch the car racing at the same time. Bliss! We spent out wedding night there and needed some time out so we went there and had dinner in at Southbank. We originally were supposed to go to Lynchs but I buggered up the booking so didnt get there bugger! Tay stayed at Jacquis and the night before Caleb stayed here cos Jac wet out after her undercover wear party. I took Caleb and Tay to Waves pool yesterday. Caleb was really excited cos he hadnt been there before. We were waiting patiently for the waves to happen but someone shat in the pool so we all had to get out so they could clean it and wait for the chlorine levels to be back to normal! We didnt wait we left.
I caught up with Bek at Jacquis on Friday night. I havent seen her for ages or the kids.
Friday morning my dad came up to watch Taylor swim. Hes on holĂ­days and had never seen her swim so i was a bit proud to show her off!
I have just finished week 2 of Herbalife. Only lost 600g but 9.5 cms in the first week. Its really quite easy to stick to but I have been hungry.
Went to the orthodontist a couple of weeks ago, he did all my records for the upcoming event (braces). Now theres something to look forward to for the next 2 years, NOT! I go back on the 27th for the final plan.
Started our christmas shopping and organising christmas. All the family coming to us this year, well most of them anyway.
Crop for kids meeting the other week. Fliers are finally done so maybe the word will get out a bit better now to the average scrapper rather than the ones that just visit forums and blogs. If they know what a blog is??!! I didnt until this year! I signed up for an online class that was conducted on Friday night and still havent had time to log in! Lucky I dont have a huge role as I really struggle with deadlines sometimes thanks to work. It always seems to get in the way of my social life!!
Tomorrow night I have a date with a friend of mine who loves Jimmy Barnes just as much as I do. We are going to see him at Rivoli and we will see his new dvd too. Bit excited about that and as a bonus I had to take the night off work!!
Thats about it I think, probably left a heap out but I will blog more often so i dont forget

My Baby turns 2 !

Taylor turned 2 on Tuesday the 23rd this week. She had her party on Sunday with just family and close friends at a local pub for lunch. After lunch we had her cake here which she enjoyed the most. Taylor got some really nice pressies so thanks family for making it a special day for her. On her actual birthday I took the day off work and she had the day off creche. We picked up John and headed into Southbank for a nice lunch. I cant believe that she is now 2 - that I am a mother of a 2 year old! It has gone so quick but I'm glad its gone quick because she is just a joy to watch grow in to this little person with a huge personality.
Thats all for now, quiet times coming up which is what I m looking forward to, things are nice and quiet at work and not much on the social calendar which is great!

Ooops forgot the photos





































Too funny...........
Taylor and I went over to Bek's yesterday as it was her birthday on Thursday. Happy 28th Birthday Bek. We took the kids to Maccas for lunch and they played outside. Taylor needed help on the play equipment to get up on the slide so after about 4 times I was a bit pooped. I sat down in the sun to relax next to Bek and Sam got a bit annyed that Taylor wasnt following him up. He asked if we could help her up. Yes soon, let her try, dont worry were the responses he got. Well he got really annoyed and said to us "come on parents! you gotta help Taylor!". At 3.5 years of age sam is just a scream. After Taylor fell over he gave her a cuddle to comfort her which was very cute also. After lunch we wwent back to Beks and played outside. The sun got to Taylor a bit so she tried on Beks Dolce & Gabbanas for size.

Last night Jacqui, Caleb and I went along to the White Diamonds film which is a documentary on Kylie Minouges return to the stage after breast cancer. It was so good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. She really is amazing, I have liked her for a long time now and saw her in concert a couple of years ago. Her show is just amazing and she really does put a massive effort inito it. We had a nice dinner before hand so it was nice to just relax and go to a movie which I dont get to do very often.

Tonight John and I taught Taylor how to play Hide and Seek. Very funny. Especially when it was time for me and Taylor to hide. John yelled out "are they in the bedroom?" and Tay yells out "NO!" She just kept giggling and want to get up and show herself!
Arent kids just too funny.

On Tuesday Taylor turns 2 so tomorrow is the family lunch which I am looking forward to. Taylor will just love having everyone she loves around her.
