Prison Break. Series 6 Months

This is what he does every time i try to put him down for a nap!

William is 6 months already...i cant believe it?! Time needs to stop...I cant believe you only get a year to enjoy them as baby's!

William proper cracks me up! He's so funny, i know i sound like every other smitten mum but we have our own in jokes sometimes I'm sure of it?! I love his laugh..., His BIG GRIN, his super surprised, eyes WIDE open look, and his 'I'm pushing out a big poo' grunt!....and that's me knowing when to stop..the list goes on and on! I do feel blessed to have the seemingly happiest baby ever....he just doesn't stop smiling, man i love 'im, he's just me little mate!

Some more pics for the grandmas and aunties to enjoy, to mark his 6 month birthday!

So I think he's done with his bouncer chair now?!!!

He is a wriggling, Giggling, Rolling Over, Tummy Sliding, Little Mover!

I Think he'll be crawling in the next couple of months, he's up to pushing his bum in the air!

He is experiencing Solids!! And he loves them!..And i love having a messy kid who makes me look good to my OCD husband!

His first Strawberries - akaBlood bath
Look at that mess (against those white walls) ....I'm so proud of Him!
And then He Sleeps so well!! And So Angelic!

Just Perfection, fat bangles n' all! xxx

Clare and Arther's to cool for school Wedding!

Congrats Clare and Arther!... (bitterly)............

.......because I had serious wedding ENVY at your wedding!

This wedding was GORGEOUS!! set in an English(beautifully landscaped) country garden in Kent, It was just perfection! Clare and Arther are Mr and Mrs Vintage, and as such Vintage/retro was stamped all over their wedding!

I especially LOVED Clare's dress made by miss Sarah Loch, out of...wait for it......Her 80 somethin Granny's Net Curtains....Now picture what you think a dress made out of Curtains would look like....................................





.......................OK.............................................................





.......................................................... and then check this Beaut out!!!!


Its not the best pic of the dress, but you have to admit, those curtains have certainly been transformed beautifully! Makes me wanna learn some dress makin' skills!!!!

We sat on hay bales, blew bubbles, ate lots of strawberries (and the rest!), did some chillin, chattin' and swing dancin' and had a thoroughly marvelous night! Cheers To The Anderson's!


Now i haven't worked out how to do those photo montages...haven't got the app...so here's a long line of photos: The Groom with William
(also one of Williams fave baby sitters while they've been living upstairs!)

I kept telling Anthony to get a decent hair cut...it really does make the difference!
(sorry just a side thought while looking at above photo....its just he always goes down and gets a cheap cut but it does him no favours!)

A half decent family photo for once!!

The good 'ol classic coca cola

Just bring the chairs and lamp out!

A bit of Swing! I love Swing dancin'...i like to think that if i learnt properly i could be good at it!...mind you i day dream i could be good at a lot of things! Definitely love the era of swing dancin though.
Heha there where two photos of us dancing...i picked the one that i look better in...let Anthony take one for the team! .....y' know you'd do the same! Its just its always dangerous someone takin a photo of you dancin...you always think you look cool, but in the frozen image, the photograph captures all the nasties and none of that cool rhythm we all think we have in that moment!!.................... well except for Clare and Arther who completely disproves that point!

Our Christine has been sofa surfing at mine this week, escaping from making life's big decisions....... well we picked up some super retro/80's flash 'ah-ahhhhhh' Gordon Swim Shorts from Primarny and embraced this fact by rockin up to Richmond out door pool wearing them together!! ...i usually laugh at people that do this...but we both wanted to wear them so let my prejudice go!

More June Adventures

Anthony's First Fathers Day.............He made a point of reminding me to make sure i got him somethin! like i didn't know! Id been at a baby shower a couple of days earlier and after the party they where handing out boxes of Marks and Spencer's goodies (like rocky roads etc) that hadn't been used, so i took a box wrapped them up and had a very pleased husband come Sunday! unless he actually takes the time to read this (which he wont as he only looks at pictures) He'l never know!




Birthday Surprise!

Anthony did exceptionally well this year surprising me with a two day trip to Bournemouth on exceptionally HOT days, to 'Travel Lodge' it up and chill out at the Beach...and thanks to our Friends Zac and Sue, we got to use their membership card to a holiday park with indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, golf, saunas, Jacuzzis......we tried to squeeze as much as possible in including an England game and eating out (using our tesco vouchers...) Jammy or what?! Thank goodness for a baby who got us up and out in the morning other wise squeezing it all in woulda bin tough.
I loved it! William Loved the waves... I loved seeing him so excited and laughing, and Anthony Loved it too....triple bonus!

Thanks Anthony, I felt like I was on Holiday!



The day England actually won somethin this world cup!!!!
(...and don't get me started on that saga!!! grrrrrrr)


And Everyone come chill out at the Dixon's.................
So I don't know why, but for some reason we always seem to be the hosts.....and what always starts off as an invite to a couple of friends always seems to escalate to an invite to everyone we know within the M25....and beyond actually (the m25 is no deterrent, for some reason our friends are willing to brave it! cheers friends!). I love it though.......what ever your reasons are keep coming!

Some June Adventures.......

by some fluke or miracle of miracles all the original Kenny's spent a night at the original Kenny home with out any in laws or boyfs etc (well except babies William and Reuben)....Danny, Jon, Jo Ann, Me and Christine, Mum n Dad! It felt like 1992....or when ever the last time this happened was! (i have adopted 1992 as my long time ago date and it is now used generically when ever i refer to a long time ago).

Anyway, it happened by accident as we'd planned to have a bit of family time and go to the Temple (that pretty white building us Mormons hang out at!), but Tom had to work, Anthony was sick, Liz had the kids etc....and all the originals ended up back at the house to sleep........

However trying to get a family photo to mark the occasion with two tiring babies proved a wee bit difficult..........
