The week went so quickly over there and we crammed in sooo much it wasn't funny. Will bore you with what we did and share a few photos :)<br /><br />Sunday ~ Flew in to LAX. The flight was great the girls were so well behaved and slept a fair bit. We then went and picked up our rental car and went to the hotel. It was about 8am so our room wasnt anywhere near ready as the people hadn't checked out yet so we went for a walk down to the Promenade in Santa Monica and had some breaky and a look around. We were all buggered as D and I both didn't sleep on the flight so thought we would go for a drive until our room was ready. Just went around for a drive in the city etc. Went back to hotel and room ready so had a bit of a sleep. A work friend of D's asked us out to dinner so got the girls and mum room service and we went out for a lovely dinner with them.<br /><br />Monday ~ Went to San Diego to go to Seaworld. This was great and the drive was lovely to see the different landscapes. Girls and us all loved Seaworld. So many animals we had never seen before like Beluga Whales, Flamingos, Orcas, Walrus', the list goes on and on really and the children's ride section was great. A few pics from Seaworld:<br /><br />Dolphin Show<br /><a title="Dolphin Show by chloevannah{kate}, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36054464@N08/3615923806/"><img height="160" alt="Dolphin Show" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3354/3615923806_1e3af5aa2c.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><br />SHAMU Orca Show<br /><a title="More Orca Goodness by chloevannah{kate}, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36054464@N08/3615715813/"><img height="160" alt="More Orca Goodness" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3629/3615715813_ec80b571c4.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><br />Chloe watching penguins<br /><a title="Chloe watching penguins by chloevannah{kate}, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36054464@N08/3612491073/"><img height="500" alt="Chloe watching penguins" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3565/3612491073_31cd9f4fda.jpg" width="333" /></a><br /><br />Girls watching Beluga's<br /><a title="Girls amazed by Beluga's by chloevannah{kate}, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36054464@N08/3612478187/"><img height="160" alt="Girls amazed by Beluga's" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3330/3612478187_9897319439.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><br />Girls watching Polar Bears<br /><a title="My girls by chloevannah{kate}, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36054464@N08/3612457295/"><img height="160" alt="My girls" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2456/3612457295_b513688017.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><br />Beluga Whale<br /><a title="I <3 Beluga's by chloevannah{kate}, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36054464@N08/3613261040/"><img height="160" alt="I <3 Beluga's" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2465/3613261040_97fe1557ff.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><br />Tuesday ~ We all slept in til 10am this morning and D and I had a meeting organised with his managers to discuss the move at 11:30 so was pretty rushed to get into the city by then but mum had the girls at the hotel while we did this. Then when we got home we went for a drive down to Hollywood, did the walk of stars, Rodeo Drive, and the Chinese Theatre. This was the girls first encounter with Mickey Mouse [url=http://www.smileys.me.uk/][img]http://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Happy/happy0163.gif[/img][/url]<br /><br />Girls with Mickey<br /><a title="First encounter with Mickey Mouse by chloevannah{kate}, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36054464@N08/3612506141/"><img height="500" alt="First encounter with Mickey Mouse" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2483/3612506141_42c8aa26ab.jpg" width="333" /></a><br /><br />When we got home we went for a walk down to the Santa Monica beach area and to the pier and took the girls on the Ferris Wheel and had dinner down there.<br /><br />Pics down at the pier:<br /><br /><a title="Ferris Wheel by chloevannah{kate}, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36054464@N08/3615082159/"><img height="160" alt="Ferris Wheel" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3596/3615082159_5b47d22048.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><br /><a title="View of Santa Monica from the Ferris Wheel by chloevannah{kate}, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36054464@N08/3612525031/"><img height="160" alt="View of Santa Monica from the Ferris Wheel" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/3612525031_b634a795a4.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><br /><a title="View of the Valley from Ferris Wheel by chloevannah{kate}, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36054464@N08/3612517169/"><img height="500" alt="View of the Valley from Ferris Wheel" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2434/3612517169_5010a3a289.jpg" width="333" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Anyone for Shrimp? by chloevannah{kate}, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36054464@N08/3613328156/"><img height="160" alt="Anyone for Shrimp?" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3377/3613328156_6876677edc.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><br />Wednesday ~ We went on our tour of the Canejo Valley area with the Relocation group. We loved the area at first sight and was very reassuring to find an area that we knew that we could live in. We looked through 4 houses and loved all the areas. We went out for a corporate dinner with work that night and the girls stayed with mum and had room service again.<br /><br /><br />Thursday ~ Today we were meant to look at another area with the Relocation group but decided against it as we loved the other area so went to Universal Studios for the day instead. Some pics from Universal:<br /><br /><a title="Chloe at Universal Studio's by chloevannah{kate}, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36054464@N08/3612008531/"><img height="500" alt="Chloe at Universal Studio's" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3411/3612008531_6af7ce47d3.jpg" width="333" /></a><br /><br /><a title="IMG_0392 by chloevannah{kate}, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36054464@N08/3611993953/"><img height="160" alt="IMG_0392" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3646/3611993953_50905b137b.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Chloe getting her face painted by chloevannah{kate}, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36054464@N08/3612798482/"><img height="500" alt="Chloe getting her face painted" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3311/3612798482_4fbe6a9661.jpg" width="333" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Chloe as an Angel by chloevannah{kate}, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36054464@N08/3612001519/"><img height="160" alt="Chloe as an Angel" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3345/3612001519_ae38257480.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><br />When we got home we went for a LONG walk down to Venice Beach were everyone is sooooo crazy it is not funny but a nice experience anyway. Then walked back down to Santa Monica and had dinner there.<br /><br />View of Santa Monica pier on the way back:<br /><br /><a title="Santa Monica Pier by chloevannah{kate}, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36054464@N08/3611943339/"><img height="160" alt="Santa Monica Pier" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3326/3611943339_c992905330.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><br />Friday ~ Today we went to Disneyland. We got there at 10am and didnt leave until after 10pm after the fireworks display. It was a huge day and Chloe didn't sleep a wink all day. Was an awesome day and both girls loved it so much we went back again on the Saturday until we had to catch our flight.

Our flight didnt leave until 11:30pm so was a hard ask to keep the girls awake but they managed. Another great flight and the girls slept most of the way. Arrived in Sydney Tuesday morning late so we missed our connecting flight so had to take a later flight. While waiting for the connecting bus to the domestic terminal Vannah decided to do the BIGGEST poo in history. It involved throwing all of her clothes in the bin AND throwing the pram out also as it was everywhere. Another flight from Sydney to Bribane and a long drive home...<br /><br />We are all well recovered from the trip now and planning for our big move in a few months. So yes we will be moving to the US very soon!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557380873519802503.post-19211966235099121032009-05-18T16:05:00.000-07:002009-05-18T16:10:02.257-07:00Happy BirthdayToday is my gorgeous husbands 30th Birthday!

It is also nice as we have been able to finally have an indepth chat about the move to the US and we are both on the same page about it. We are very excited and have decided we want to persue this and make it work. So next step is to organise for us all to go over and check it out for the final decision and to look around and find somewhere to live...<br /><br />Oh and so excited my gorgeous husband bought me back an early mother day present. A new Canon EOS 50D DSLR and a 24-70mm 2.8 L series lens.

We have been offered an opportunity of a lifetime, to relocate to Los Angeles. Although it could be very easy to jump very quickly into this and make the decision based purely on the huge monetary benefit this would be to our future but that will not be the case.<br /><br />Damian is over in the US at the moment but once he returns it will be all systems go in terms of talking this through and coming to a decision. At this stage I am thinking that our family is strong enough to make this work and make the best of the opportunity. I am having fun if nothing else researching all the possibilities.<br /><br />The biggest clincher at this stage is me actually going over there to check it all out so that will be next on the agenda. They will be paying for us to go over for a mini holiday to see if it is a place I would like to call home.<br /><br />All very exciting and frightening at the same time...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557380873519802503.post-88542018795120257952009-05-06T18:35:00.000-07:002009-05-06T21:26:58.341-07:00Lucky I left bread crumbs...<div align="left">or I may just have never found my blog again :)<br /><br />Been a long time since I last blogged and it sure has been busy around here.<br /><br />I have been emursing myself in a new found love for photography and photo editing and finding this a great way to create and let that brain of mine to stay a ticking.<br /><br />There are way too many pics to put up right now but will add a couple of my faves as well as link you to my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36054464@N08/">flickr stream </a>so you can check out some more.

Yesterday saw three nights in a row where she was dry in the morning so last night we went cold turkey with her wearing undies to bed.... AND she woke up DRY!!!

All of the photos I have put into storyboards created in CS4 so that I am not bombarding you with an image heavy post :) The first two storyboards I am getting printed on 20" x 20" canvas' to hang in our house and can't wait for them to be finished. The last two are photos from my first session that I did on manual mode, still soooo much to learn but enjoying every moment.</div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312499628130222066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dpRQ60Kn4pw/SbnKQ9QYv_I/AAAAAAAAAUA/zKC7UICjNVU/s400/20x20+2+Storyboard.jpg" border="0" /></div><div></div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312502142111550498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dpRQ60Kn4pw/SbnMjSkPjCI/AAAAAAAAAUI/q_ApBGp9Fl8/s400/Chloe+Storyboard.jpg" border="0" /> <div></div><div></div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312503527515236434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dpRQ60Kn4pw/SbnNz7mOKFI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/TkZWMo1kPG8/s400/20x10+Storyboard.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312506533963390306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dpRQ60Kn4pw/SbnQi7fUXWI/AAAAAAAAAUY/wkqVcUsRj7E/s400/storyboard.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312507420318809282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dpRQ60Kn4pw/SbnRWha6vMI/AAAAAAAAAUg/RGgg8U4PjUU/s400/storyboard2.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312551351790274370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dpRQ60Kn4pw/Sbn5Tq57B0I/AAAAAAAAAUw/rK_jmKwQhhU/s400/storyboard3.jpg" border="0" />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557380873519802503.post-38680011580158435462009-03-03T15:41:00.000-08:002009-03-03T15:51:32.759-08:00My latest project<div><div><div><div>The latest sewing project that I have been working on is a present for a friend for her upcoming baby shower this weekend. Her and I have been friends since high school and she is due with her first daughter, Charli. Another friend and I have been giving a rocking chair a makeover as her present. I have recovered the seat covers in pink gingham fabric and made a coordinating hourglass pillow using <a href="http://www.amybutlerdesign.com/pdfs/HourglassPillowFreePattern.pdf">this</a> FREE Amy Butler pattern. I machine blanket stitched the butterflies and flowers onto the pillow pieces before sewing it all together. My friend had the fiddly job of stripping the chair and repainting it. I went around yesterday and did the final measurements for the straps on the cushions and I think it is looking very nice indeed!</div><div></div><br /><div>Here are some pics of the finished product (well almost)</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309112518839435090" style="DISPLAY: block;

I used a pattern found <a href="http://www.themayfly.com/weblog/2007/02/you_asked_for_it.html">here.</a> I made a few changes including adding button holes to the front straps so that I can feed the cross over straps into these and then securing by tying a knot. Next time I will allow extra strap length as they just weren't quite long enough for me but otherwise lovely pattern and very easy. From cutting out pattern to on Savannah took about 1.5hrs including some dash's for puppy attendance and solving disputes between the girls :) So here are some pics of Vannah modelling her smock. It is fully reversible plain pink cotton on the reverse side and a pocket on each side (attached before sewing together).

She lurrrrves water and started out by playing a game in her water bowl making a big mess of that so we decided it would be easier just to let her have the clam shell to have a splash in.

She was a little frightened for a minute but then warmed to us very quickly. She has been having fun exploring her new home and lots of trips out in the rain to do to her business.

A few accidents here and there but for the most part success on the grass.</div><div></div><br /><div>We are also still finding our legs in all of this and trying to work out the best arrangement of her crate, food and water etc.</div><div></div><br /><div>Both of the girls absolutly LOVE her. Savannah gets bowled over a littler more than she likes and learning to push her off but Chloe has playing with her down pat and is hard to seperate the two for very long.</div><div></div><br /><div>A few photos from last night...</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302408680278646178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dpRQ60Kn4pw/SZXwmfH03aI/AAAAAAAAAQY/BkFZBUB4ozo/s400/IMG_8423.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302408672453197266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dpRQ60Kn4pw/SZXwmB-F_dI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/e2AtWChvCLM/s400/IMG_8420.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302408667334748466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dpRQ60Kn4pw/SZXwlu5wqTI/AAAAAAAAAQI/4ytjHOTMt6o/s400/IMG_8413.JPG" border="0" /> <div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557380873519802503.post-4121219180987904632009-02-10T16:54:00.000-08:002009-02-10T17:05:34.080-08:00Handmade Help<div><a href="http://handmadehelpsout.blogspot.com/"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301338184408264994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 180px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 180px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dpRQ60Kn4pw/SZIi_bPecSI/AAAAAAAAAP4/nnxXna-w70U/s400/handmade_help.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div> </div><div>The fires in Victoria and New South Wales are a devestating event and one that has affected me so much over the past few days.
