Hi everyone!!! I've away from minti a while I know, but I'm still around. Been crazy busy the last few weeks. I've popped in from time t time to read everyone's blogs, just havn't commented.

Things have been hectic with getting the girls ready for tafe and high school. The little ones are crawling now so I'm always on the run and K is in the midst of a 2 yrs rampage LOL The days are full!

We've had bushfires here nearby, lots of smoke in the air. I've thinking of my friends down south in Vic and praying all is well, they have much bigger fires everywhere. We need rain everywhere!! It's been the hottest summer for a long time with heatwave after heatwave. Makes me think too of everyone who is in winter! Ohh cold would be good right now!!

Been missing everyone, hope everyone is well and the kids are happy.

Love Cath xxoo

Oh and when I can find the cord for the camera, I've got tons of pics to post. Will be soon I promise!

I've started giving my new camera a bit of a workout. I love it! Haven't been doing much at all, it's been to hot. A very quiet start to the year. Here's a few pics I thought I'd share.

First attempt at shooting the birds around here.

Second attempt. I was mad, the tree was covered in birds until I went to get the camera. Of course.

This a view from my front door. We are surrounded by lots of bush, which means lots of birds.

Bonbon my cat, ready to pounce. Darn thing is always hunting. She pounces at us for fun too.

Keiraleah.

Babes in toyland LOL

Sorry for such a boring blog. I thought the birds were pretty good considering I've never tried taking wildlife pics before. Next lot might be better :p

Hope everyone is having a fun school holidays!

The house was full! Annie had come up to stay on the Monday before, so that was nice to be able to spend some time with her. Shane's mum and brother came on Christmas Eve in the afternoon. I was very happy that we were having everyone for Christmas this year. I didn't really want to travel with the babies.

We had a great day! All the kids were well behaved and loving all the presents. They got soooo many. I could open a toy store LOL The big girls thought getting laptops was awesome. Lucky girls! Keiraleah loved her Big Sister Dora with twin babies as well as all the others she got. Jamie and Jacque now have a ton of activity toys that play music and light up!

How I love having all my babies together

Getting Keiraleah to sit still was a challenge :p

Ooh presents!

Jamie was into EVERTHING now he can crawl

Action Man LOL

Opening more presents

Can't beat bubbles haha

Poor Keiraleah was very upset when Annabelle had to go home.

We all needed a big sleep in the afternoon! Luckily the kids thought so too! LOL

Wishing everyone a fantastic 2009!!!
