SPLASH! - by Blake

Yesterday I spent the day at Nursery while mummy went to work. I had lots of fun and daddy even forgot to pick me up!! After dinner I had the splashiest bath ever!! The entire bathroom got drenched!

Faith's 3rd birthday party - by Blake

Today I went to another birthday party! Faith is 3. She had it at the same place as Bethany, with the same bouncy castle, I really wanted a go again!

The bigger kids got their faces painted, mummy painted auntie Kylie.

She had a daisy to match the ones in her hair.

Faith had lots of cup cakes for her birthday that her mummy made.

Mummy finally took me on the bouncy castle before we left the party.



House warming! - by mummy

Its been nearly 13 months since me and Graham moved into our first house together. 2 of my friends have just taken that big step and moved into their first house this weekend.. And of course they had a house party/bbq. As they now live round the corner from us we talk a walk round with my freshly cooked pasta bake and jacket spuds. We were the first to arrive (as usual) so Blake spent some time playing with their puppy, Reggie.

Don't worry I didnt let the puppy hump poor blake!! He was just being playful! Blake later had his dinner and played for a little while longer before he went to sleep in his push chair.

The sun went down and it started to get loud. :-) We started off with a game of beer pong.

Blake got woken up by all the noise, when he was much younger we could get away with shutting him in the bedroom but now he won't sleep through the noise, he stayed a little longer and then Graham took him home to bed. Then it really did get rowdy! Ash and George came up with this game that involved having electric shocks sent through your arm whilst you tried to neck a drink!! Then the usual ass spanking and drunken glass breaking started!

It was a good night and Ash and George were great hosts! The lads didnt get too out of control, as I left they were all chilling in the living room! Well done for a good night guys!! XXX

Taylors 2nd birthday party. - by Blake

On Saturday I went to another birthday party!! It was Taylor-rose's 2nd birthday.

She got a bike.

And she had a little bouncy castle which was just right for me!

Taylor's Nanny made her a really cool toy story cake!!



My first trip to the dentist - by Blake

On Friday I went to the dentist for the first time. I sat and watched mummy while the man looked in her mouth! Then when it was my turn I sat on mummy's knee! I wasn't at all happy about it!!

The dentist counted that I had 6 teeth and was happy with them so gave me 2 stickers!!!

I was very happy with my stickers and left with a big smile :-D

Ouchy! Wasps are bad - by Blake

On Wednesday I got stung by a wasp for the first time.

It left the sting in my ear and then it went red and swelled up.

I was very brave and only cried for about 3 minutes before I carried on giggling and laughing as normal!!



Saying goodbye again!! - by mummy

The day before my 9th birthday, September 7th 1998 was the worst day of my life. My best friend, Lauren, was moving to Australia. Gutted. Her mum and dad I called my Auntie Nikkie and Uncle Glenn and I was closer to them than I was most of my real family. I cant remember much but mum reckons I cried for 3 weeks!!! I have seen them once every 3 or 4 years since and they have just left England after spending 3 weeks here. Unfortunately I didnt get to spend alot of time with them, they made a last minute decision to fly over when a family member had a motorbike accident so they have spent alot of time in and out of hospital. Let me be a little more specific, when i say 'they' I mean Nikkie and Glenn, Nikkie's sister, Cas and her Australian husband, Deano. Lauren stayed in Oz :-(

Anyways. Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning we met up for the final time again. Everytime they leave I have cried for ages but now I've grown up and time flies so bloody quickly that its never long until I see them again any ways, this time it didnt seem to bother me! Probably because I didnt really expect to see them, after their previous visit to England a couple of years ago I had gotten so ridiculously excited to see them then barely did I got so upset so I was a little reluctant to expect anything this time round! Which turned out nice cuz i was pleasantly suprised every time i did get to spend a little time with them!

On the Tuesday they had arranged for alot of their friends and family to have a meal at the pub!!!

Blake came down for an hour with Graham before they went home to bed.



Me and Kylie





Me with my mummy and daddy :-)

 On the Wednesday morning we met them for a wonder round town for the final time.



There has to be a sad goodbye photo!



It was a shame to see them go again but I'm glad the goodbyes have got easier over the years, I always know I'll see them again and 3 years isn't all that long any more. I do miss them though... :-(

Return to pole dancing - by mummy

I'm so busy all the while trying to be a great mum, and girlfriend, earn pennies and be 21. Today for example, Monday's are Blake's days with Nanny so I took him there before heading into town to pay some cash in the bank, came home sorted the washing out and went off to work at the chipshop. Once my shift was over I came home, had a shower, went to collect Blake and then had a friend visit for an hour, by the time she left I started cooking dinner then its eat, wash up and tidy whilst daddy baths Blake then once he was in bed I left to visit a few friends before finally heading off to pole dancing class... busy busy busy!! (how i like it though) I don't do it as often as I would like, I started at the age of 16 and went once a week religiously! Since having Blake I've struggled to return into routine, and I've lost so much strength so I had to start from Scratch.

Donna Gant is my teacher. (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=625484612&ref=ts) she is an amazing woman and a great inspiration to me. As I started at 16, I was the youngest at the time and really good at it - I loved it. Pole dancing has got much bigger over the past 5 years and the standards have risen so much, I would barely class myself as average now, however I still enjoy it even though its so frustrating how much strength I've lost. Donna opened her own pole dancing school approximately a year ago, just before I had Blake. She named it '1st Class pole fitness' http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=625484612&ref=t!/group.php?gid=29447746803 I really do urge you to check her out as she is fab.

So tonight, I attempted a new trick, with the help of Donna I did a 'death lay'. This is meant to be me lying straight across the ceiling, I don't think its a bad effort!

I'm really hoping to try get back into the swing of things and start going more regularly though I know I am very busy for the next few weeks so we shall see!!! Please add Donna Gant on facebook and check out her group. She is a real inspiation!!

Laurens 1st birthday party - by Blake

Today was my friend's birthday and she had a party yesterday. It was a nice day and we had a teddy bear's picnic. Though mummy is rubbish and forgot my teddy bear and made us late!!

Lauren is 1 now. She got some cool new trainers and blew out her candles.

There was lots to play on but the bouncy castle got too hot in the sun so I played in the ball pool with my cousins, Kelsey and Ashlyn.

After the party I had a really long nap then went out with mummy and her friend and they mummy cooked sausage egg and chips for me, daddy and uncle Eddie. :-D

Cars and daddy - by Blake

On Saturday morning we went shopping then went round Great Nannas for breakfast. I read my book on the way down.

 On the way home from Great Nanna's daddy drove by in Uncle Eddie's car.

I sat in it and had a bit of an explore...

Afterwards Nanna and Grandad came to pick me up and I spent the afternoon with them. When I got back mummy had gone to work so after my bath I went for a drive in daddy's car. He let me sit in mummy's seat while we parked up.

A day chillin with mummy - by Blake

On Friday me and mummy went to chill down the park together. It was very busy so we stayed on the grass.

I read my book and then I layed on mummy's legs to watch the children play.

On the way home we stopped at a different park which was quiet. I liked the big tractor.

Nanny's birthday and the park. - by Blake

Yesterday I went to the pub to see my God Mother - Auntie Kylie.



And then my friend Anya joined us with her daddy

Yesterday was Nanny's birthday but I didn't get to see her as she was at work. Today we met her at the pub and I gave her a present.

After seeing Nanny I went to the park to see Rhys and Evelyn.

Rhys can walk, he kept wandering away from his mummy. I tried walking off with my push chair.

For the past couple of days I have been under the weather. Mummy thinks its my teeth or I am poorly. I am not eating very well but it didn't stop me having lots of fun at dinner time!

I felt much better once I was in my bath.
