James :   He loves playing with his electronics kit.

Sienna :   Having a quiet moment in her room doing some crochet by lamp light.

STILLS : A WEEKLY COLLECTION (20)

Linking up with Em at The Beetle Shack for Weekly Stills Week 20....how these weeks are flying by already.

I had the opportunity to see this guy in concert.  Michael Buble is awesome and the concert was fabulous.  Source of photo is here.

My digital version of Project Life is so close to ordering the book now and I will have an amazing photo book of last year's photos off my computer which is a mission of mine.

James :   Thrilled that I finally took him to the skate park.

Sienna :   Always entertaining herself playing outdoors mixing up some dirt and grass with water.  She put the glasses on after some dirt got in her eye from the wind.

STILLS: A WEEKLY COLLECTION (WEEK 19)

Linking up with Emma at The Beetle Shack however very late in posting Week 19 which was a big week in the kitchen baking.

Cooking a huge pot of Chicken & Veggie Soup for the week.

Making a Chocolate Brownies which have grated zucchini in them no eggs or butter and it was delicious.

Made a batch of Pizza Scrolls for the freezer for the kids school lunch boxes.

Made this slice for school lunch treats from The Lunch Lady, Kate Berry.

Having dinner at the bench.

Enjoying these dumplings which Sienna calls "brains" and rightly so.  Whilst they don't look that great they're 10 out of 10 on our menu.  Delicious Dumplings we made together.

James gave me a voucher for "one free clothes peg" for Mother's Day and he roped his sister into helping him as it was a huge basket load of washing to peg.

 Time out from pegging to chat with his sister.

Mother's Day gifts for my Mum and my sister.  Aunty Lisa doesn't have kids of her own so on Mother's Day we always give her an "Aunty's Day Card" and a little gift.

Some favourite DVD's of Sienna.

Two Brisbane Lions Players came to our club this week which was exciting for the kids.

James getting an autograph from Jordan Lisle.

Sienna getting up close and personal with the Brisbane Lions Jordan Lisle.  She's now wearing her brothers hand me down footy club shirt that no longer fits him.

James a little shy meeting a famous football player.

Matthew Leuenberger had a leg injury so he sat on the grass to sign autographs....I had Sienna get behind him for the photo.  This man is 203 cm tall.

Check out how tall this boy (man) is..OMG I'm 1.65 cm so not exactly short but I'm just under his shoulders.  His profile says he is 195 cm so a whole ruler length on me.

My friend Jo's fabulous Rubik Cube cake she made for her 10 year old's birthday which is awesome.

Sienna giggling wondering why I'm taking photos of her getting grapes out of the bag.  Huh....silly question as my camera is out all the time in this house.  I was however very close to her because I had my 50mm f1.8 on and not my 24-70 mm zoom lens on which means I would normally be further away from her taking the picture.  She thought it was all very funny and I love her cheeky little smile and how giggly she was.

A very typical Aussie kid having Vegemite on toast for breakfast.

My turn to wash 20 football jerseys for the team this week.

Flowers down the side of the house.

James unmade bed and his extensive drawing collection on the wall.

On the floor in James bedroom.

Sienna's bedroom at 8 years of age and she loves Owls.  You can see 4 on the dresser and one drawn by her on the wall.

18/52 - "The 52 Project"

Linking up with Jodi at Practising Simplicity to take a portrait of your child every week for 52 weeks. 

"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014."

James :   Playing AFL and he' the one in the middle with the ball.

Sienna :   She hurt herself while scootering so promptly attended to her first aid herself.  She put some ice on a zip lock bag and used masking tape to tape it to her leg which you can see by that brown mark above the bag.  This made me laugh because this is just so her, she just works out the problem and solves it herself so she could get back to scootering.

Family :   This is us in the backyard with Sienna having set up some chairs for a show on the trampoline.  She was just about to go on and even Suzanne her big pink bunny was ready.
