Welcome to the world little Ryan

Opps its been even longer this time :( I have been a very busy Mummy and now have a lovely little brother for my girls. He is 3 mths old now and has settled in so well. The girls love him so much and he is such a good baby.

This is him when he was born. Seems like ages ago already.

And this is a more recent one - isnt he big already :)

Freya is now in a big girl bed - she was a little terror to start with. Not staying in it and staying awake till 11pm and then waking up at about 5! But she is getting better at it now and not waking up so early.

It is the summer holidays now. Which I just love!! Its nice to have the girls at home with me and getting to go out and do lots of nice things. I will have to try my best to put some of the things we have got up to on here.

Best go now as Ryan is still up and wants some food before bed.

Well its been a while so I thought I better do a little update.
Here are some pictures of Freya enjoying her first bit of chocolate pudding!! As you can see she LOVED it!! Bless her.

Last weekend the Girls wanted to stay in and enjoy a Teddy bears picnic in there pj's. So that's what we did -

The living room was covered in all their little Teddy's and we all enjoyed some picnic foods. It was Good fun.

The pregnancy is coming along well - just the normal aches and pains :). The car is in the Garage at the moment and is costing £270 to get a new starter motor! So I have set myself a little challenge of trying to sell things on ebay to help pay for this....will see how I get on. Also trying to earn some extra to cover for when Lee will have some time of when we have the baby. So far I'm on £10.88 so got a way to go :)

We have had a lovely day today. Bethany has had a lovely birthday and its the first year she knows its all about her today :)

Have put on some photos of her day (for some reason i cant move then about or anything??Will work that another time) So first is her blowing out her candles and then a pic of the cake I made for her - she helped a little with the mixing and most importantly the licking the bowls :) And then there is one of her opening her presents and one of her 'reading' her card. She really seemed to enjoy her day (and I really hope she did!) She wanted some pizza for dinner - so we did some homemade ones and she loved making them - even if she did still only eat the topping.... Her Grandad (Phil) popped round to give her one of her presents and to see her on her birthday which was lovely. Tomorrow my dad is coming round and at the weekend she has a party and then some more family coming to see her. So a fun packed few days. Which is good as the last thing she said tonight was 'i am going to have lots of days as my birthday mummy'.....

Freya is on the move now - still not proper crawling but she can get where she wants and doesn't let it stop her.

We also have the new flooring down in the kitchen and hallway now - so can have my kitchen back :) For a few weeks before the tiles need doing.......

Left it ages again... :(

Once again i have left it so long before updating my blog....
Well its a new year and i will really try to make a better start at updating the blog.

We had a lovely Christmas!! The girls loved it and they got so many lovely toys. I am still trying to find new homes for them all! Me and Lee also got lots of nice things. We also had asked for home base voucher so we can do some much needed house improvements, so Lee has been busy putting some new flooring down in the kitchen and hallway. It is looking really nice so far and i cant wait for it to be finished, we have also ordered some tiles so hope they can be done sometime before feb....

Caitlin is back at school tomorrow and says she doesn't want to go - she seems to be like this for the first few days and then is back to loving it so I'm sure it will settle down. She got some paint by numbers for Christmas and has been really enjoying doing them, they have turned out really well, and even daddy joined in and done one with her which she loved!! Her favorite game to play with has been the jenga like game from tesco called 'stack em' which she is getting really good at!
On Tuesday it is Bethany's birthday, she is really looking forward to it and cant wait - Bless her! She keeps singing happy birthday to herself. She loves the dolls house that the girls got as a joint present and has been playing lots with this over the last few days. Tomorrow I am going to have to move it up to the bedroom so i guess she will be up there playing a lot more from now on.
Freya is crawling!! Well she can do a little commando style craw but gets around where she wants! I really want to get it on video before she learns how to do it properly....
They all stayed at Nanny's last night as we went to my dads 50th birthday party. We had a good time and Lee had a few drinks - think he loves me being the taxi driver all the time as it saves on all the who is driving conversations we noticed all the other couples having :) - He will have to make up for all the driving one day though..
On new years day we went for a meal with dad and my nan and grandad, it was really nice to be able to do something with the girls for dads birthday as well as the party. They were really well behaved until the end when poor Freya had had enough and just wanted to sleep so cried lots!

Will try and upload some photos more updated photos later of the girls.

I love this pic of my three girls in there

'den' all together :) with all there teddies. Bless them. Well today poor little bethany has been a bit tired as she has this horrible cough which has been keeping her up all night. So she stayed home with me today and had a quiet day in. Hope she is better tonight bless her.

Caitlin went to Beavers again tonight, she gets a bit upset and shy when we first go but then she was doing the games etc and when i picked her up she said she had good fun. We will get her uniform over the holidays and see about her doing her 'promise' so that she will be a real Beaver. She is still going to do Rainbows aswell.

Tomorrow Freya has her injections poor little one. Hope she will be ok.

so so so bad :(

I am not very good at updating this!!! opps. i will try harder......

Anyway since i last updated we have started Weaning Freya - we are going for the Baby Led Weaning route. I am not going to stick to it 100% as sometimes I'm sure ill have to spoon feed her or something. She is doing sooo well has most things and does try them. She loves toast think its her fav at the moe. here is a pic of her making loads of mess and enjoying some chesse and bread....

Caitlin and Bethany are doing so well aswell. We went for a trip round the school today for Bethany starting school (!!!!!!! she is to small :) !!!!!!!!!!) Caitlin loved seeing us come to her class room and showing us what she was doing and Bethany loved running round the playground etc. I bet she will love school when she goes.

Bethany is getting really good with her talking now - she is such a cutie and a bossy one - shouting 'mummy talk to me' and cheeky hings like that.

The pregnancy is going well. I'm about 14 weeks now and we have booked a private scan for the 31st so that the girls can come along. Caitlin is so interested and wanted to come to the hospital one but they do not let kids in. It will be nice to see baby again. Hope its all going well.

sorted out how to add photos so will try and keep putting a few on here. Of to bed now as im sooo tired and the girls will be up early im sure x

been a while...

OMG it has taken me ages to update on here...... We got a new laptop and i couldn't remember this website or the password etc and it has taken me this long to look it all up and get a new password sorted out :(

Anyway what have we been up to....lots!! We have been to the Zoo - was a lovely day out me and the girls went with my mum and Phil. The girls loved it and i had a great time as well, there was a baby elephant and all Bethany kept going on about for ages was the baby elephant...bless her.
Freya can now roll over. She first did it on the 5th Sept when she was nearly 22 weeks. Now she is doing it all the time but sometimes she gets upset that she cant move back on to her back. She can sometimes do it but when she cant she gets so upset. She keeps waking at about 5am at the moe - not sure if its because she is hungry but she doesn't seem to hungry in the day so i am still waiting for a while before giving her food. I want to do Baby Led Weaning (BLW) have looked into it lots and Bethany was nearly BLW as she decided to refuse a spoon from 7 mths so only ate finger foods. I think it will be lovely for her to sit with the rest of us and eat what we are eating at the same time as us....

Yesterday I heard the babies heartbeat. It took ages to find it and we lost it again soon so I think baby is still small but we heard it so im happy as it means at the moe baby is doing ok. We have our scan booked for the 30th Sept - i cant wait i just want to see the baby is fine.

I have been thinking about doing a open college course in Child Psychology. I think people might think its a weird choice but I defiantly want to work with children (one day when my kiddies are at school) so doing a course now will give me a head start when i want to return to work. I also think Child Psychology will be really interesting for bringing up my girls.... It is expensive so will have to look into it more and decide if i really will enjoy it and if i can afford it. Also when will be the best time to do the course? Also there is to different ones that i have seen and are different levels one is a level3 and is the equivalent to a A level and one is a diploma and is level 4. So need to think should I go for the more advanced one or stick to the easier one - which also requires less study time???????????

We have booked Caitlin's Party for her birthday and she is having it at Pizza Hut on the evening of her birthday. She is looking forward to it. We are getting her a hamster - we have all the cage and bits ready but will wait till the day before to get the hamster.

We have been up to lots more but i cant go on all night :)

Will try be back on tomorrow. It's Bethany's First day at preschool tomorrow and she is really looking forward to it - I hope she has fun.
