January 2011 | 365

Cousins Brianna & Corey liking the limelight.

First month done and dusted of my 365, I must say I am loving it and think this won't be my last 365 either. So much I want to achieve through this year it will be a fun learning curve. I have already learnt so much in the first month.

Dreaming of a galaxy far far away...

left today's photo a bit late so excuse my poor editing :D My little angel finally drifts off to sleep, so I sneak in to take two shots which instantly has him awake and crying, agghh!!! I quickly hide my camera and sneak out the door.

Packed up the camper trailer and the kids and left Ceduna today, came home via the coast road and called into Streaky Bay for this shot of the "Foxy Lady". I love the old recliner on the deck and can just picture someone relaxing in it on a nice warm day. Also called into Venus Bay and let my kids have one last swim before returning home to 40 degrees heat :(

Catch of the Day!
This is pretty well the biggest fish I have ever seen my husband catch and one of the extremely few fish he caught while we were away. Today we went for a drive to Smoky Bay where the kids went swimming and Leon did a bit of fishing off the jetty. This fish he caught in the late afternoon when we went back to Davenport Creek. Trying to cram in as much fishing as we could before heading home the next day.

Today we took our 4WD through the sand dunes out to Davenport Creek and went fishing, swimming and sandboarding. Took heaps of shots out there but this is one I took when we all came back to the caravan park and we took the kids down to the beach there. I love it because I dont have many shots of all 4 of my kids together and this sums up how much fun they had this week.

Post sunset overlooking Thevenard. We decided we needed more beach so set off for a few days camping at Ceduna. Spend most of the day packing for our spur of the moment trip. Such a nice view watching the sun set over the ocean after watching it rise from the ocean at Tumby Bay last week.

My cousin was over on holidays visiting our family so we all headed to my parents for a BBQ. My brother provided the entertainment as usual with a homemade water rocket. He says he made it for the kids to play with but I think he had more fun with it himself!

Today I took some photos for a friend of her little family. There were a couple of quirky shots which I loved, including their 2 and a half week old daughter giving me the finger!!! And this one of their feet :)

A snail covered fence post on the side of the road. The last day of our week at the beach. We drove past this on the way home. It was very sad saying goodble to our awesome holiday house :(

I had some close ups of the full moon rising but this is much more colourful. Kids having fun with glow sticks.

Must have been busy relaxing on this day as all I had taken was some sunrise photos which weren't that good. Apparently I need a special filter, someone help me out here? So this is one of the only ones that didn't have the glarey sun in it. Sunrise on the hill overlooking the ocean.

One of my neices Miss Kayleigh, 3, was very patient as I put plaits in her hair. I love doing girls hair, can't wait for my own daughters hair to get long enough. ALthough I need a bit of practice as this is the best I could do. The swing is one of her favourite places to be in the whole world.

And yet another gorgeous view from the deck watching the sun breaking through the clouds first thing in the morning.

Just got home from a week at the beach so have to upload my photos from each day. This is the first one from day 16. The sunset viewed from the deck of our holiday home. Ahh the serenity!!!!

It's a dog's life. Molly is our dog, she likes to lie under the table on hot days like today where she can sleep in peace and not get stepped on.

Why learn to walk when you can fly?

It was pretty warm today so I took the kids to Nanna's for ice blocks and bubbles. My niece is practicing blowing the perfect bubble. Nanna always has bubbles :)

No need to run away to join this circus. I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.

Took my son to his very first swimming lesson today. It was nice and hot so the twins weren't too happy about sitting in their stroller and watching everyone else have fun in the pool. So when we got home we filled up their little pool and they all had fun splashing about in the front yard, fighting over the hose!

When you have 4 children it's inevitable you'll have toys everywhere. The morning shadows made this ride-on toy look more like a creepy clown.

Mother and daughter. One of my very close friends with her 2 1/2 week old much longed for daughter. One special bond shared. It was such a pleasure catching up with them today.

1 of 365Stole this idea from one of my flickr contacts, mine is no where near as good as his but I am posting it as it is! My first photo for the year and first entry in my own 365 day photo project. My darling husband and sister and brother in law helped produce this image. I must admit we were quite drunk by this stage so that's one reason I failed to focus properly :) Paying for it today, let's hope tomorrows image is at least in focus!
