13 months

Obsessed with the word DOG maybe a child after my own heart,( i was obsessed with dogs as a child).

We are learning colours orange, green, blue, yellow and red. Loving action songs these almost keep her on the potty for a few seconds, thinking of trying stickers on a chart or one for her hand if she sits on the potty.

We are waiting patiently for a new cousin to arrive .

she likes making car noises and can string more than one word together

and painfully for all of us is getting all four 1year old molars at once!

best way to spend the day is with a friend

musical fingers

If I could play the piano
This is the way I would play.
If I had a guitar
I would strum the strings this way.
If I had a trumpet
I'd toot to make a tune.
But if I had a drum
I'd go boom, boom, boom!

Australian Alps

Australian Alps, Breathtaking scenery, south New South Wales through to Victoria.

Historic Ned Kelly and  Man from Snowy River country created by one of Australia’s most famous poets, ‘Banjo’ Paterson, who wrote about the area’s wild bush horses and the men who gave them chase.

Rough 4wd tracks, winding rivers flowing, tall gums and delicate wild flowers. Something for everyone if your lucky enough to submerge yourself into nature and become one with this serene country. Refresh your soul and camp under the billions of stars that take your breath away.

Well this is what we managed to survive over Easter holidays staying on the Victorian side this time, we had below zero nights and warm sunny days.
Roasting mellows by a roaring camp fire , dinners cooked by the hot coals and excellent company.

Just one of the many huts you can use if you need.

Our car near a Gold mine

the higher you go the colder it got

just one of the many river crossings we did on the 4wd track

Yasmines Actual Big Day
Born at exactly 6:53pm
at only 3.6 kgs
our beautiful small pink bundle of joy came into our lives.
If you've had children you will understand life just isn't the same,it becomes more exciting!

Anyway I've found out my Birthday cake skills definitely need improving
i guess the taste is the most important bit though it does need to look good to make you wanna eat it
Made sure i kept tradition and picked a cake from the women's weekly Birthday cake book
and spent most of a day baking and decorating.

NZ take 2!

For all those who have been wondering where we have been hiding, (You might of guessed from the last post)Yasmine took her second trip across to New Zealand with flying colours four flights and not a peep 

A well traveled child who loves to fly and watch through the window as we take off and land 

O dear with many more possible trips to be had, maybe we better start saving for flying lessons at this rate we might have our own modern day Amelia Earhart on our hands

 shes not the slightest bit afraid when it comes to going up and down stairs

this was a wonderful challenge as she loved to play with everyone's nerves.

Delicate treasures she loves and a few she got for her birthday.Her new found expression of excitement "whoa!"when she sees something beautiful or amazing.makes us laugh everytime.

And last of all she enjoys a good party so how could she miss her Auntie Josie's wedding

1 Today!!!

Our Little Yasmine Minnie Min Min Moo Moo is 1!

I remember bringing her home like it was yesterday! our bundle of Pink is 

nearly walking

still loves to talk and babble on in her own way

Loves clothes, animals, swimming,reading.

thinks its funny to copy other people laughing.

Has her very own Pandora bracelet to grow with her and be reminded of all those that love her.

 and has been to NZ twice! Here are just some of her NZ birthday party Pics.... ( to check out more of Yasmine go to katieannephotography )
