See...I AM beautiful

Both myself and DS18 recently made a trip to Queensland to spend time with my sister, nieces and their children. Marie is my youngest niece from my sister and she opened her home with all the love that could be expected. It was a true joy to spend time with my grand nieces and nephews...to watch them grow...err to have them help me cook....

Hmmm topsy turvey scones DO taste just as good as straight scones...lol        
Oh, when making scrambled eggs for 9...a little egg shell never hurt anyone...did it? lol

While it was nerve racking to have the helping hands of 2 boys aged 8 and 6 and two girls aged 5 and 3....I loved every minute of it. My only wish would be that I had a few photos, but I was up to my arms in little hands, flour and egg shells. I'm sure they will remember the days they helped Aunty Narelle in the kitchen, I know I will.

Back to the photographer....Yep! The best photographer I know......

Marie runs her own business called Kayana Photography. She has her own studio at home and loves to capture memories of children of all ages, especially in the belly, and newborns....You can also check out Kayana Photography by clicking on her facebook page......

When my son DS18 went to visit Marie with my mother I posted some lovely photos of mum that Marie captured...little did I know that mum would pass away just a few short months after those photos were taken.

Note: Some photos were  removed from this blog post  for legal reasons out of my hands.

I cherish this photo.....thanks matey!

Did I mention that Kayana Photography also does Boudoir Photography?

Please be patient...I'm having major tech problems with Blogger at the moment....It's taken more than 24 hours to add these photos.
I'm in contact with Blogger, so it shouldn't be much longer before things are back to normal.
After you have checked out my new photo's, head over to Blooming Gardens to see what's happening there. I'm a bit behind in writing for them too, due to Blogger difficulties, but I'm working on solving the problem and will be back there very shortly.

We often discuss 'Sex in the Garden', but not this type of sex.
Usually it's all about Pollinating..lol
