Vege Gardening....

We have been wanting to start a little vege garden for ages...so now the school holidays are here, the kids were keen to get it going.

We used a couple of old bathtubs (that were earmarked for cattle troughs) and filled them will dirt and planted out a heap of carrots, potatoes, beans, lettuce and tomatoes. The kids had heaps of fun and can't wait to to able to pick and eat them....Well, hopefully it will get them to eat thier veges...knowing THEY actually grew them :p

Ebs found this little grub and named it Lucky....(but it wasn't so lucky...it has already met an untimely death, lol!)

I hope you are enjoying your holidays so far....only 5 weeks to go...Woohoo!

Little Farmer Boy....Kingaroy Portrait Photographer

Remember this sweet little guy (Click here) i took photo's of around this time last year??

He's three now and his mum wanted some photographs of him...how could i NOT take photo's of him...he's SO cute!

After his photoshoot...he wanted to get straight back into his "work clothes"...and he said i HAD to take a photo of him in them!!

It was such a HOT day...but it didn't seem to worry him in the slightest! Thanks for taking the time to visit...

BAD BAD Blogger...

I know....I have been VERY slack in the blogging department lately!! But to tell you the truth, things have been pretty quiet around here....Forgive me??

Well, its that time of year again...School is coming to a close and 6 weeks of having the kids home, and all the joys that go along with it, is just about on us.

Its also time for school calendars...and they are being made as we speak!! Here are this years efforts>>>>

Some random photo's taken throughout the year all chucked together to give to the Grandparents!!

Anyway, i hope you have a good week or so left of freedom before your house gets taken over and destroyed, lol!!

Jeff and Sam's Wedding - Kingaroy Wedding Photographer

What can i say about Jeff and Sam's Kingaroy wedding!! It was an absolutely perfect day....We were running early all day, which made everyone relaxed and really enjoy the day!

Check out this gorgeous antique necklace...it was Sam's grandmothers>>>>>

And of course, her beautiful shoes....

The stunning Sam....

The gorgeous couple......

And a heap of fun thrown in.....these guys were great!! They were up for anything we asked them to do!!

I hope you enjoy your sneak peak Jeff and Sam...thanks for being so great to photograph :)

And also i have to give a HUGE thanks to Tash for being my trusty assistant on the day...you were such a GREAT help...THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Look what i made......

Yes...i have been playing with wool again....but this time i tried crocheting! I have wanted to learn how to crochet for a long time, just because i LOVE crocheted things - they are so beautiful and i love the textures of it.

So i had a go at making this hat....and it turned out great!

ps...don't ask me how i did it...i think it was a fluke actually, lol :p


And of course i had my willing dd to model it for me.......

In the last month, we have had SO so many babies being born around the farm....calves are popping out everywhere! And we have had to be midwives for a few of the heifers as well....being their first calf a few of them were having a hard time birthing....but once you've pulled a calf and see their gorgeous little faces....its all worth it

Living on the farm, the kids have seen so many being born its virtually a non-event to them now....but each and every birth is still an amazing sight, no matter how many times you see it

I've been AWOL.....

A couple of weeks ago we had a pretty bad storm here and lightning struck our place. It blew up our TV, Dvd player and phone line!! And on top of that, my computer decided to chuck a hissy fit!!

Now, i don't know about you, but when you lose only ONE of these things its pretty hard to take...but when you lose ALL FOUR.....HOly Moly, i don't know how we EVER got by before the net and TV!! AND DURING SCHOOL HOLIDAYS!!

Why am i shouting?? Just try if for one day......it is sooooooo hard!! I felt like i was on another planet, not knowing anything and being able to check out my fave websites or sending/checking emails or ringing/hearing from anybody was like my right arm had been cut off, lol!!

On the plus side tho...i got a few things done around the house and the kids HAD to go outside and actually amuse themselves! And we got to go away down to the coast for a few days.......

So now, i'm back online, and back in touch with the real world.....

I'll be back to update on other stuff as soon as i catch up with a heap of stuff i NEED to catch up on :o)

Hope you've had a good time so far on your school holidays....see ya
