An Eventful Day

Well yesterday we had a very full day, but it very much enjoyed considering it was so hot & humid!

A bit of photo blog this one....

Jaydens little friend Noah had his 4th party in the morning down the waterpark.... it was perfect weather for it, no need to dry off or get changed....the kids just stayed in their wet clothes on the way home! I was kinda wishing I had taken my bathers tho!!

Pass the Parcel...Audrey had such a cool idea, instead of the traditional wrapped toy over & over again with newspaper she covered a formula container and inside she wrapped individual little presents that the kids got to get out of the container when the music stopped....less mess & the kids were all happy cos everyone got a present!

Carry the "fake" egg on the spoon game so everyones a winner & theres no cracked egg!

Jess was up from Perth so the kids had fun running around with Luke too...how gorgeous!

Little Ben & Aunty Deb :)

And then it was off to Khya & Dan's wedding...not too many good photos because my camera is in serious need of an update...

Look at this smile!! Happy beautiful bride!

Aimee came with me and was in awe of how pretty the flowergirls looked...

I then had the reception at night which was heaps of fun and Zach was such a good boy all day being carted all over the place! (his 3rd night out in the last 4!)

Family & friends just make life that little bit sweeter don't ya think! :)

Unique As U...more ideas??

Now that Zach has been in a more predictable routine I'm finding my thoughts have been wandering back to Unique As U and wether I should really give it a go and make something out of it....even if I just take it to the markets every once in awhile & maybe get someone to set up a simple website for me where I can sell a few things on....

I have been having a few ideas of how to expand....not just cards but was thinking 3D nursery wall art... and maybe some nursery mobiles... after making 2 lately for Jess new bub Ben and for lil Zach I thought this is fun I could do a few of these...and the possibilities are endless!!

Here is Jess' mobile I made for little Ben...she loved it and it was soooo fun to make!

I was also thinking of doing Boys overalls....I love overalls on little boys and everytime I go to the markets there is always girls, girls, girls stuff everywhere...what bout our darling boys...there is definetely a distinct lack of it so I want to get a really cute pattern and some bright gorgeous material so I can make some... at least have a go... not so good at sewing but it can't be that hard!

I really would love to know where all these people order these beautiful fabrics from tho... there must be a wholesaler someone knows about??? Any suggestions to help me out??

Any feedback would be much appreicated, what do you think?

A bit of this & that!

Well it has been ages since I blogged! I'm not sure I'm going to keep blogging, maybe just every now and then if there's something really interesting I must just write about! I just don't ever know what to write and when I create things I keep forgetting to take pics....basically I don't think I'm a very good blogger!

Its more fun reading every one elses!

My biggest distraction lately is my lil man Zach who I am so blessed to have... it was only by Gods hand did he come into the world... that is why we named him Zachary which means "God has remembered".

So how did he happen?? We all know "how".....but yes admittly I went off the pill 3 months earlier since it wasn't agreeing with me and we were using the Rhythm method which we stuck to very strictly (by the way it is a completely useless form of contraception!) and it worked the first 2 months! The third month we thought we slipped up one time, this was only 5 days after I finished bleeding so we decided to take the morning after pill. It didn't sit right with me taking it but Greg was so afraid of me getting pregnant & I thought it wouldn't hurt just to be safe (I took it on mothers day by the way). It made me feel real crap, sorest boobs ever and really headachey and achey.... its evil I'm convinced!

Anyway to cut a long story short 6 weeks after this I still wasn't having a period but I was so sure I wasn't pregnant, I didn't get any real obvious signs at all but took a test, I actually took the test and put it on the floor and walked off, convinced it would be negative! But when I came back there were 2 clear lines and I lost it there on the bathroom floor.....

I was sobbing when I called Greg to come home...he raced home thinking one of the kids had been killed or something cos I was so upset on the phone! He just laughed when I showed him the stick, so relieved it was only that and not something completely terrible!

That day I couldn't stop crying cos I knew it meant our way of life and our plans were going to change majorly.... but God works everything out....which is why he gives us 9 months to get used to the idea!!
And oh how glad I am now we have little Zach, he has just completed our family somehow, it would feel wrong now without him here!

So yeah, didn't plan on putting that story on here but yes that is how lil Zach came about!
Just some photos of the last month of our new lil baby...

Suddenly we had 3 kids!!! This was the photo that just hit it home for me!





First Bath at home and he kept falling asleep :)

This day I realised, yep I have my baby with blue eyes! Never thought it would happen!

Getting bigger, 3 weeks old

First smiled at 12 days, but this photo was the first smile I caught on camera :)

Thank you Jesus for such a perfect little miracle :)

Happy 1 month old little Zach!
