day SEVENTY TWO | Year SEVEN | 2016
I just needed someone to stand in front of my backdrop for a lighting test… but nothing is ever simple… or normal!
day SIXTY SEVEN | Year SEVEN | 2016
When is not looking all cute and adorable with his teddy bear… Marty is trying to steal you hair! He is obsessed with ponytails… and Emmett’s hairy tail!
day SIXTY FIVE | Year SEVEN | 2016
After and influx of boys at the start of the year, I have so many girls coming into my studio at the moment!
day SIXTY FOUR | Year SEVEN | 2016
Whatever it was she was watching… she was found it hilarious! Her laughter brought me from the other end of the house <3
day SIXTY THREE | Year SEVEN | 2016
There is no denying it… Willow just loves this… horses are her happy place.
day SIXTY ONE | Year SEVEN | 2016
Here it is… the first hockey training of the year… damn, non-hockey season went fast! Zoe and Xan are both playing SL2 (4th grade women) together this year, with my ranga as coach… it remains to be seen how coaching his own teen and post-teen daughters goes! lol!
day SIXTY | Year SEVEN | 2016
I’m blaming this on the fact that this day shouldn’t be here! Damn leap years!
day FIFTY NINE | Year SEVEN | 2016
Home from a fantastic weekend at the Tumbafest in Tumbarumba… and now there’s homework to be done!
day FIFTY EIGHT | Year SEVEN | 2016
This is crazy Norman… he belongs to Tumbarumba friends, Cam and Joel, and he is obsessed with chasing … well, anything really! This morning it was bubbles!
day FIFTY SEVEN | Year SEVEN | 2016
Tonight we watched the moon rise over the hills of Tumbarumba… it was beautiful.
day FIFTY THREE | Year SEVEN | 2016
Just hangin’ out… (Dr) Emmett (Brown), Marty (McFly) & Widget <3
day FIFTY TWO | Year SEVEN | 2016
So after meeting Taxi yesterday, today we welcomed his brother, Marty (Kelpie x Border Collie), into our family… I’m such a sucker… but seriously, who could resist that face?
day FIFTY ONE | Year SEVEN | 2016
Willow is babysitting Jayson’s puppy, Taxi, while he and my ranga are working on the bus engine… good luck getting him back Jase!
day FIFTY | Year SEVEN | 2016
All ready to welcome a new little lady into the studio <3
day FORTY NINE | Year SEVEN | 2016
It’s this look of dedication and determination that makes Xanthia good at pretty much every sport she tries!
day FORTY EIGHT | Year SEVEN | 2016
Back at hippo ballet… no rest for the wicked :/
day FORTY SEVEN | Year SEVEN | 2016
At work with the new funky lunchbox I got from my mum and dad for my birthday… bonus points for the fact it perfectly matches my Tupperware containers!
day FORTY FOUR | Year SEVEN | 2016
This is how to get peace and quiet in a house full of people… this is five of them, all set up and playing Minecraft in Darci’s room. Apart from the odd holler I hear every now and again, I can almost pretend I’m home alone!
day FORTY THREE | year SEVEN | 2016
Look what Zoe did!! … she went and joined the Lollipop Guild!
day FORTY | year SEVEN | 2016
Xanthia is very artistic… but a lot of the time, it’s her body that cops the brunt of her artistry!
day THIRTY NINE | year SEVEN | 2016
My gorgeous Zeusy-boy… he will be 15 years old in just a few months time <3
day THIRTY EIGHT | year SEVEN | 2016
Xan was really worried about filling in for the U18 girls INDOOR hockey team, because she had never played before… the need to succeed is embedded deep in her soul, and trying something unknown with no gauge of her skill level was nerve raking for her… but, in true Xanthia style – she not only contributed to her teams 8-0 win… she excelled – scoring the first goal of the game!
day THIRTY SEVEN | year SEVEN | 2016
Setting up for my first newborn girl of the year! Yay!!
day THIRTY SIX | year SEVEN | 2016
After starting back to school on Tuesday, then her first horse riding lesson last night, and the first indoor hockey game for the year tonight, Willow has hit the wall! ❤ #yesmythirteenyearoldstillsucksherthumb
day THIRTY FIVE | year SEVEN | 2016
Willow finally started her horse riding lesson… she is a natural… even staying seated when her grumpy horse bucked under her!
day THIRTY FOUR | year SEVEN | 2016
You’ve heard of the ‘King of the Jungle’… well Willow is the ‘Queen of the Domestic Animals’
day THIRTY THREE | year SEVEN | 2016
Two big events today… Zoe’s 22nd birthday… and Xan (yr10) and Willow (yr8) went back to school! WooHoo!
day THIRTY | year SEVEN | 2016
The storms continued tonight with some spectacular sheet lightning that lasted for hours! We caught quite the light show from our upstairs windows…
#blackandwhiteJanuary
day TWENTY NINE | year SEVEN | 2016
… and finally the hail hit!
#blackandwhiteJanuary
day TWENTY SEVEN | year SEVEN | 2016
This is what school holidays are all about… vegging on the couch until you fall asleep!
#blackandwhiteJanuary
day TWENTY SIX | year SEVEN | 2016
Someone is really happy to have her daddy home…
#blackandwhiteJanuary
day TWENTY FIVE | year SEVEN | 2016
At 13 and the older cousin among this trio, I think Willow likes having someone look up to her for a change (figuratively, that is… they are still taller than my poor little shorty! lol) … in this mini pack – she gets to be the leader!
#blackandwhiteJanuary
day TWENTY FOUR | year SEVEN | 2016
I had so much to photograph today… we had all the family over for a Welcome Back BBQ for Russ… but I was running around like a headless chook and didn’t pick my camera up once!! Opportunity missed!
