Munchkin

Better add a bath pic of Emmerson too.

this weeks catch up : )

Busy since my last entry. Had a busy weekend, did an ENJO demo and my nephew Bain stayed on Sunday. Bain and Harry ran amock, they had a great time (see pics above). Emmerson is smiling so much, and is such a beautiful sole. I have tried to catch up on "life" Tuesday and Wednesday, whilst H was at creche. Sorting ENJO orders, computers that aren't working, trip to officeworks (one needs stationary) housework, grocery shopping, a couple of walks, yada yada. Same old, same old really. Mark is busy, about to start a big renovation. Well sorry my life isn't more exciting.

Til next time,

kisses, Kaz.

Not much happening here today. Been trying to rain, but alas not much really. Here is a cutey pic of us. Harry has since had a real boy haircut, Really short, and we can gel it up, it looks really cool. We were in Geelong in this pic, off to the "local" for Marks grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. Wow, what an accomplishment.

Mark is mowing the lawns ATM, so perhaps I will attempt to scrap. Have to cook dinner soon, so prob won't get much done. There is always something to do.

Til later, much love

Happy Australia Day

What a gorgeous day it was today in Melbourne. sunny, clear skys, perfect 26 degrees. Delightful. We went to my friend katrina's house for a BBQ. Lunch turned into an all day affair, we didn't get home until 7 pm. Ate way too much, but one needs to enjoy life I reckon. Both the kids were perfect angels. Harry had a blast playing with the other kids, in the cubby house and with the dog. Emmerson enjoyed laying in the shade on the grass, in between her nearly 2 hour sleep on kats bed. Both darlings.
Been a big day, so I am off to bed.

Cheerio

Family snap

Here is a layout I did of our family at Christmas 2006. Not the best pic, but was as good as we could get. Have a more recent one, that is a little better that i will send through soon.

Have a wonderful day friends.

Love Youz, Kaz xxx

OK, where were we.....?

As many of you know I am married to Mark and have two beautiful children, Harry nearly 3, and Emmerson 5 months. We live in Mordialloc In Melbourne, Victoria Australia. We have a beautifully renovated 4 bedroom home. Mark is a builder and I am a nurse.

I have 1 sister, 2 brothers and 2 nephews and 1 neice. Mum and Dad live in Cohuna, where I grew up.

Someone sent me an update of the year they had in their christmas card , so I thought to get my blog up to speed I might do that. So here we go...

2006 in a nut shell

DECEMBER - finally went to the Kylie concert and had a lovely christmas in Werribee at my brothers.

NOVEMBER - Commenced my ENJO business.

OCTOBER - I had my gallbladder removed, and then I turned 37 (really). I also enjoyed the Dixie Chicks concert

SEPTEMBER - Getting some sleep and have a bigger family now.

AUGUST - our precious little girl Emmerson Grace was born weighing in at 8 pound and 14 ounces, and she was 2 weeks early.

JULY - Mark went to Coldplay concert and the Wolfmother concert.

JUNE - I went away on a scrapbooking retreat, my 1st kid free getaway.

MAY - Mark completed the race against Puffing Billy, it was bloody freezing.

APRIL - Mark turned 37, and Harry turned 2. I did some fill in work as an asthma educator, which I loved.

MARCH - Mark and I went to the Athletics at the Commonwealth games

FEBRUARY - Mark doing triathalons, I continue with doing my Masters of Nursing

JANUARY - short stay in Apollo Bay with marks family which was nice (not as nice as Fiji was last month!).

well that is it. Now we are in 2007. God where the bloody hell does the time go.

mark is really enjoying and challenging himself still with Triathlons, harry is still at creche tuesdays and Wednesdays, which gives me time to catch up with chores and have time with Emmy. He is also about to re start Gymbaroo and Swimming which he loves. He has also been successful at toilet training this month. Well done H.

I am enjoying motherhood, and challenging myself with running my small ENJO business. I am due back at work in August, but don't really enjoy what I am doing. Of course another of my "ideal" jobs have come up , whilst I am on Mat Leave, it is about the 5th time this has happened.

Oh well, something will come along. i have 1 subject to do (had to throw in my thesis, just couldnt find the time to analyse my data) and I will have my Masters. I am doin that probably next term.

Okey dokey, off to bed.

night :)

love kaz

P.S here is a little pic for your amusement, many of you didn't see me pregnant with Emmerson, so here I am, all belly at 38 weeks.

TV

I thought I would admit some shows I am loving ATM, or have loved in the past.

I love Greys Anatomy, Nip Tuck and House, don't mind NCIS.
and not sure If i should admit it, but I love Dancing with the stars and Aussie and American idol. Sadly I am also a bit hooked on this seasons The Batchelor, well what else is a stay at home mum (SAHM) to do on a Saturday night. I also enjoy wife swap which is after the batchelor, it is quite funny actually.
I used to love Six Feet Under, but it has sadly finished.

I am sure there is more, but I can't think.

What do you love.

Mwoa (that is a kiss!!)

Will add exciting stuff soon

Well maybe not that exciting, but had to get you interested. LOL
When i get a minute I am going to add a summary of life so far. Then we will all be up to date, which will be fab. I added a few pics, just to make my blog look like it has something on it.
so I am going to cook some risotto, I was going to scrap today, but alas the day has gotten away from me.

Love from Kaz : )

Welcome!!

Well after rejecting the idea of having a blog for sooooo long, I have finally given in to the lure of having one. So welcome to my blog, feel free to pop in any time and chat or check out what the Yates clan are up to.

Life is very busy ATM with 2 kids, so I may not get time to chat every day, but I will do my best.

The reason I thought I would "blog" is I do have several family and friends who live interstate / overseas, and even though i say I will do better and email more, I don't. So this seems a perfect way to stay in touch with everyone on a more regular basis. I must go hang out washing.

Bye for now
