1 Wedding, 2 Cities, 3 Nights, 4 Days...

I'm home! Yay! And wow! What a trip! It's basically all in the title of this post...

Day 1;
Melbourne... The Wedding.
Well you remember when I went to Dubbo for this wedding? Well on Saturday was the wedding of the Dubbo Groom's Brother, yes another son of The Fantastic Mrs Fox.  So My brother and I took the trip across the ditch to celebrate with the Fox family... The new Mr & Mrs Fox were married in the LDS Temple in Melbourne it was a beautiful and of course emotional service. Afterwards Mrs Fox Snr and I once again became the photographers.  This time I was lucky to get to do the bride and groom, here are some of my fav's...

 










After the official shoot, I spied the bride and groom playing about which I thought looked super cute...
 



Day 2;
Brisbane - Reunited
Early Sunday morning we took the 2 hour flight to Gold Coast to reunite with my twin and her family in Brisbane. It was totally fabulous catching up with Mrs K. Her babies have grown so big and her little girl is just too cute for words... Yep, THAT cute!!! We stopped off at the beach for a quick little photo shoot, the little boys got soaked! That afternoon we went to church then had family over for dinner who we haven't seen for YEARS!!!






 


Day 3;
Gold Coast - Movie World
Yes! We're basically all just kids at heart and Movie World was so fun!  My favourite ride was the Superman roller coaster, it was crazy!  We got to catch up with another cousin today as well which was awesome!  We managed to do some shopping at Jindalee DFO, I love Jindalee DFO!!!  If you ever have the chance to go to a DFO... GO!!!!
 
 
Day 4;
We spent a wonderful morning having breakfast with more family we haven't seen in years!  We had so much fun talking at the CafĂ© we ended up having lunch there as well lol!!!  Then it was more shopping back at DFO and Aldi.  A rush to the Airport, big hugs and kisses and home on Virgin Australia...  HOME!!!
 
So... I'm still really tired and finishing off the rest of the wedding photos, thank goodness its the weekend, I think I'll have an early night.
 
Till next time

A Few of my Favourite Things & My Hot New Boyfriend...

Ok Ok...  no, not really... haha!  You know that I'm happily married with 4 beautiful kids and a very cool hubby right? 
 
The thing is... I'm kinda like totally crushing on Mr super-cool-rockin'-tattooed-to-the-hilt-bad-boy-Adam-Levine... yeh not sure how he suddenly came to be on my almost 40 year old radar, but when I introduced  him to Mr C as my new Ifie screen-saver he responded with "ugh! he's a skinny little runt" lol...
 
 
He cracks me up! 
 
Anyway its been a long time since I did an "A Few of My Favourite Things"  post, so here we go...
 
Current Favourite song
 "Daylight" by Mr Levine himself... and skinny-little-runt or not, there is no doubt about that fact that this man can sing!  Here he is with Maroon 5, singing it live on The Voice...
 
 
Favourite line from Current Favourite song:
Here I am staring at your perfection,
in my arms, so beautiful...
and by the sounds of it, it's the favourite line of every woman in that audience too... lol...
 
Ok... are you done drooling... a-hem... moving on...
 
Favourite blogs right now...
I haven't spent a lot of time in the last few months wandering around blog-land so I made a concerted effort over the last few days... and just Look at these absolute gems of fab NZ Vintage blogs...
 
 
 
 
Both these gorgeous ladies give me green goose bumps of greedy envy with their supper stunning vintage dresses.  I love their style perfectly!
 
You find lots more awesome blogs from New Zealand right HERE
 
Favourite Family time this week...
The C Family and Nana, were asked to do a little photo shoot for some publications going out from work, we had a ball of a time and here are a few of my favourite shots...
 








 
Aren't they beautiful?  Yes!  They are!  Even if I do say so myself! Haha!  I really enjoyed watching the photographer work, he was a real pro and had all the gears, I think I learnt quite a bit just watching...
 
I hope you are having a fabulous weekend... I have a little reoccurring something wrong with my ear, but it seems to be coming right for the moment...
 
Till next time

A Pretty Portrait...

I'm happy to say that after a trying, exhausting and painful few days, Utah-Beth is recuperating at a good pace and Holly, Beth's daughter, has been keeping us updated via Facebook.  Thank you for all your prayers and I hope you continue to get back to your old self soon my friend xox
 
Today, my daughter and I decided to have a quick photo shoot just outside in the garden.  We dressed her up in old time Maori style costume and I kept the style of the shots vintage.  I think they came out really gorgeous! 


What do you think?
 





















I love these, my daughter Miss Maizee is so photogenic!
I hope you love them too...
 
So... The sports season started last week,
 
Kana had his first rugby game last week...
 
 

and the girls had their first netball game today... Miss Muki played her first game ever today, she was hungry for the ball, running all over the place, hands in the air, jumping all over the place... she was awesome!


We've been enjoying the feijoas off our trees... YUM!
 



 Our chapel has been undergoing some major reconstruction work to make it more earthquake proof... I drove past last week, the old steeple has come down and the new one is going up...
 
 



 
Hope all is going awesome for everyone...
 
My kids are doing a bit of modelling for some publications that work are doing.  The photographer is totally professional and I'm going to be watching him carefully! 
I can't wait to share those with you soon...
 
take care and "brrrrrrr" keep warm!!!
