Memories, Dreams and Reflections 2011

Has it really been a year since the first Memories Dreams and Reflections?! Wow!
Ashley from Ramblings and Photos is once again asking us to take a trip down memory lane and share our favourite images from 2011 :)

Here are my Memories, Dreams and Reflections for 2010 if you're interested!

2. I Love You
My little family on Fathers Day :)

3. Still Laughing


The little boss supervising Grandma's gardening ;D

4. Winter Wonderland

It doesn't get very Wintery around here so this is the best I could do, lol. The Gingerbread House looks kinda wintery....right? ;)

5. Birthday

William's 2nd Birthday! We had a Caillou themed party :)

6. Friends

I love it when the kids play nice and are the best of friends :)

7. I Was Inspired



I was inspired by all the Rapunzel cakes I saw on Pinterest to create this masterpiece for charlotte's 5th birthday party! You can see my Tangled Pinterest Board 'Frying Pans...Who Knew, Right?' for some Rapunzel party inspiration ;D
Her party post is coming too!! I'm very time-poor at the moment but I have some great photos to share!

I was also inspired by Pinterest to do this Muddy Puddle Shoot with Charlotte. It was a blast!

8. Spring Fever


Pretty Spring clover. More of these shots HERE.
9. Travel or Vacation



Our family vacation to the Gold Coast! More beachy pics HERE.

10. Summer Days

This photo of Charlotte screams summer to me :) More HERE.

11. A Day In My Life



Charlotte is so full on sometimes it feels like there are this many of her ;)

12. All Smiles



Charlotte was all smiles when we did chalk photos (Charlie & Lola style)! More HERE.

13. Autumn Harvest

Charlotte carving our first pumpkin. More HERE.

14. Family or Home


My little family :)

15. Celebrate!



My 30th Birthday!! Do you love my awesome camera cake?! My sisters in law made it for me :)
Party post coming soon!

16. Lets Do It Again


We had so much fun on our Gold Coast holiday, we actually ARE doing it agin, in March, for hubby's birthday! We got an amazingly cheap deal to stay AT Sea World resort and our theme park passes are still valid then to, yay!

17. I Miss You



My baby girl on her first day of preschool back in February...now she's off to 'big school' at the end of the month =O Where did my baby go?

18. Beautiful

My beautiful girl :)
19. Dress Up


I had a fancy dress party for my 30th birthday on Friday and I couldn't resist dressing William up as Chucky!
Stay tuned for my 30th Birthday Party post with some awesome costumes!!

20. Macro


My niece Emilia's bracelet :)

21. Holidays

I have hardly any holiday photos because Charlotte was sick for Christmas (as in I was holding her over a bucket while I unwrapped her presents sick!) but I did get this one of the cookies and milk left out for Santa. And our tree has blue lights this year, hence the weird colour cast!

22. My Favourite

I've shared this one eleventy five billion times, obviously it's my favourite ;)
You can see more Balloons and Sun Haze 2nd Birthday photos HERE.


favorite photo 2011
23. Don't Ever Change

I wish he would stay this way forever :)

24. Just Because, So There!





Whoops, how did that many sneak in there?! ;)

25. Hopes and Dreams

I hope I can continue to improve in my photography in 2012, I think I've come a fair way since last year and would love to continue to get better. I have two weddings booked for the second half of the year already so would love to have some new skills and maybe even some new equipment by the time they come around ;)

HAPPY 2012 EVERYONE!

Top 11 of 2011

Can you believe 2011 is coming to an end already?!

So I'm participating in the Top 11 of 2011 with Click It Up A Notch, NapTime MomTog and Click. Pray. Love. where you share the top 11 photos you've taken of your children (or pets) over the last year.
(Here is my Top 10 from 2010..I like to think I've improved over the year!)

It was actually easier than I thought to put this post together as I'd already used most of my favourite photos to make calendars and photo books for Christmas presents =D

So here they are:
William's second birthday. I love everything about this photo :)

Charlotte at the beach on our recent summer holiday..
(More beautiful beachy summery shots HERE)
William watching the stunt car show at Movie World. I still haven't shared all of our holiday photos!
Charlotte's 5th birthday party. The theme was Tangled/Rapunzel and the face painter created this special Rapunzel face for her :)
Stay tuned for her party post, but in the mean time you can have a peek at her spectacular (if I do say so myself haha) Rapunzel's Tower Cake HERE 
William when we went to Darling Harbour in Sydney to the IMAX theatre to see The Polar Express in 3D..
Miss Charlotte at her cousins 4th birthday party at the park :)

My little country boy William at Daddy's old Agricultural College when they had an open day :)

Charlotte having some winter swimming fun!

My big boobie boy William. I took this photo to mark reaching 2 years breastfeeding and we're still hanging in there (barely!) at 2 years 4 months!!


Charlotte at William's 2nd Birthday Party, all painted up like a dolphin princess. You can see the rest of William's awesome Caillou Party HERE

And to finish up, a shot of my beautiful babies together. Not the best shot composition wise, lol but they were having so much fun and look so cheeky, I love it :)


Naptime Momtog

Are you joining in the fun?! Make sure you visit the lovely hosts and link up!

Charlotte's Tangled Rapunzel cake!

I've been so busy my poor little blog is getting neglected! 
My baby girl turned FIVE yesterday and on Saturday we had a Tangled theme birthday party for her. We also had the same face painter that came to William's Caillou Party, she was amazing again!
I haven't even been through all the photos yet but here is a peek at her Tangled Rapunzel tower cake:
What do you think?

I'll be back hopefully later in the week with her party post and how I made the cake :)

Sweet Shot Day    

and then, she {snapped}
