Our Little Star

On a very murky morning we set out to Shrewsbury to begin our special day. As we headed up the by-pass the rain started to fall and Kellyn and i thought it would be a wet day. By the time we parked the car by the River Severn the rain had reduced to a few drops here and there so we got out of the car and gathered all we needed for the day.

As we walked into the town we bumped into lots of familiar faces, all glad to see us, and all saying the same things about how lovely the children are and how my life took a very un expected turn. After a quick visit to the shops it was time to head to the Quarry for something special.

Today Kellyn was taking part in the Barnardos Big Toddle, (Barnardos is a children's charity). There was lots of other children here and also the local press and the local radio.

Kellyn was amazed by the magician Magic Kev who was balloon modeling for the children. Soon the children were off, Kellyn was well in front and very eager to get going as were all the other children too. The walk was 1/2 a mile long but for our Kellyn it was a Doddle Toddle and we crossed the finish line well ahead of the others and he collected his medal and certificate. Ceienna Also had a medal and certificate for taking part.

After all the toddlers had crossed the line and had a drink and biscuit Magic Kev did another magic show, which we sat to watch.

After the event Kellyn was very hungry so we headed to one of my most favourite places on earth, The Dingle, For a very healthy picnic sat by the statue of Sabrina and the water feature. It was beautiful and we were soon joined by some very hungry ducks.


After a really wonderful and tasty picnic Kellyn, Ceienna and myself headed back along the river to the car.

Our Sunday started early headed to a misty Shrewsbury for the Boot Sales, There where lots to go to, but by 10am the mist had cleared and it was lovely once again.

In the afternoon Kellyn, Ceienna and myself headed to Cockshutt for the village fate. Kellyn brought a JCB for his collection he was so chuffed bless him. We took some time out to look round the vintage vehicles and watch the dog show, before heading to another open day.

The Ducklings where having an open day. We had lots of fun here Kellyn took off to play with other boys and girls and he also had his face paint.

Later we headed home for a evening of fun and games together.

DADS CLUB

Kellyn was up very early this morning as it was dads club he really loves it here and so does ceienna,we arrived and kellyn could not get out of the car quick enough straight inside and look for the trains, poor diesel kellyn,s favourite toy was put in shaving foam and he was runing around scaring everbody with him ,he has made lots of friends there and we all get on very well.
Snack time was good because there were lots of diffrent exotic fruits to try they all went down very well even the dads were trying them,after tidy up time it was craft time and kellyn and ceienna made a glitter plate with there initials on surronded by feathers they look very well.
All to soon our time was up and time to carry on with our day roll on next dads club.

Strawberry Delight

This afternoon after being refreshed from our busy morning we headed to Ellesmere Organic Nursery to Pick Strawberry's.

Both the children knew what to do straight away and yes even Ceienna was picking the delicious fruit.

Both the children love their fruit and this was a great chance for them to see where food comes from,all to soon Ceienna could not hide the fact that she had been tasting the strawberries as she was covered in them the joy of being a baby kellyn is very good at eating now and strawberries are his favourite fruit.
We went and paid for our fruit and headed back home were we had a nice sit down with a hot cup of tea .

Daddy time

Today was time for me to have a daddy in charge day we left mummy at home and headed to ellsemere where we could have a day out but not to far from home.
First thing we did was feed the birds there the children love doing this,next stop the park
kellyn loves it hear and he must have played with at least ten other boys and girls myself and ceienna went on the swings and she really enjoys it after about a hour here we decided to walk around the lake kellyn done very well here and had no complaints of tiredness at all on the way round we spotted a toad and kellyn decided to stroke him or her not to sure on that part.
With kellyn doing so well at his walking time for a treat so we headed to the ice cream stall and chose a orange lolly which also ceienna enjoyed after that was finished back to the park this time for two hours time just flew by and they were getting tired now so back to the car and home.
It was really nice having time with the children when you can do that nothing else matters.

Greenfingers

Kellyn and Ceiennas Planters have now burst into colour. a lovely reward to Kellyn's careful care. He is really proud of his flowers. Now our garden has become home to lots of bees. Well Done Kellyn.

There are also lots of other plants thriving in our garden these include Honeysuckle, Roses, Wallflowers, Cornflowers, love-in-the-mist and many more varieties.

Our garden is a wonderful place to enjoy the good weather relaxing with the rich aromas from our garden admiring the views over Shropshire and watching the different species of nature that pay us a visit. The mornings and evenings are welcomed by beautiful bird song from various birds which have made nests in the trees which surround the garden. This also adds to the character of the garden to make it a truely wonderful place to live.

Dinner in Shrewsbury

Today the family headed out to Shrewsbury for a dinner time treat. Collecting our meal from KFC we headed down the Quarry to enjoy our meal in the glorious sunshine next to the river Severn.

Ceienna is 7 months today

Our Beautiful little princess is now 7 months old today. She is a very special little girl gaining attention where ever she goes.Ceienna has a smile to die for which captures the hearts or any one she meets. Who ever has the time to talk to her is rewarded by a beaming smile and a little chuckle.

Ceienna is now able to shuffle on her bottom to get to where she wants to go, especially in the garden. At the moment the great outdoors is Ceiennas favourite place, She loves watching the birds and animals that venture into the garden, some come especially just to see her. Ceienna also like to feel the grass with her hands also.

Our Beautiful Little girl now getting bigger, Lets see what next month brings.

This weekend we had beautiful weather once again, so we decided to make the most of it. Saturday morning we headed out to a boot sale where we bought some bits and pieces mostly toys for the children, Both Kellyn and Ceienna had toys they loved. Kellyn had his own money to spend. He is really getting good at this now.

After the boot sale we headed through the countryside to Shrewsbury for some breakfast before heading to Llandrinio Carnival and again another Car Boot Sale. Here Kellyn was chuffed to bits and he bought lots of trains with his own money he got a really good deal and supported a charity he loves too, Cat Rescue. After we all made some great finds we headed home for some fun in the sun in the garden with our new toys.

Sunday we woke early and headed back up to Shrewsbury for yet more boot sales. I think i was the one with the best deal here i bought some fantastic and very rare items, This was a lucky find we had made. We carried on looking around the boots before going to the open day at Greenacres Farm ( A Project run by adults with learning difficulties ). While here we looked around the farm Kellyn was really interested in the plants and watching the Butterfly's that were flying around, While Ceienna Enjoyed the animals more. After we had a look around the farm we visited the Sensory Mobile Unit, This was a fantastic experience enjoyed by all the family especially Ceienna her favourite was the sensory stimulation room, She loved the lights and all the different things on the walls to look at. There was also a cinema room as well as an Aromatherapy room, with wonderful aromas coming from it.

After our lovely walk and stimulating experiences we headed home for a fun afternoon together.

We got out our bikes so Kellyn could see us doing the same as him, Daddy and i took it in turns to cycle around the lawn. Kellyn, Ceienna and Daddy all had great fun laughing at me on a bike, having not been on one since i had an accident years ago it was quite nerve racking but i did it.

After our afternoon fun it was bath time, Daddy and i were soaked from Kellyn being in the bath, We had so much fun. It is Great to be able to enjoy family life and give the children the terrific memories that they deserve.

Well Friday brings the end of a very busy week for all of us. Kellyn has worked really hard to master his bike riding skills and is doing exceptionally well. He is also getting on well with his drawing something he has done lots of this week during the times when it has been raining. Kellyn has also started a new school book which takes him through Handwriting and also introduces Maths, He is speeding through it and will soon be at the end. Kellyn has mastered being able to hold and control a pen really well now which means he will now move on to other things.

We also visited Ellesmere with Daddy and we all enjoyed going around the shops, Kellyn was especially excited because he bought a new train and he even paid for it himself with his pocket money. Later on the way home from Shrewsbury we stopped at the playground and the whole family had great fun going down the slide and on the swings .


This Week Kellyn and Daddy made some cakes which were really yummy. The boys were also helped this time by Ceienna.


Below are Pictures From our Week.

Well What an action packed weekend we have had. Saturday we headed to the Boot Sale and bought Kellyn his first proper bike and in between the breaks in the weather he jumped on it and took to it like a Duck to water, we both watched him with pride burning away inside us.

After the boot sale, We headed out to Shrewsbury to the Mid Shropshire Vintage Show, This show is one of the biggest in England, located at the West Mid Show ground in Shrewsbury. The rain was torrential so we left Kellyn and Ceienna with Nanny so they stayed dry as we walked around the Auto jumble picking up a few bits along the way. We did not stay long before we headed back home. For the afternoon we snuggled up on the sofa and watched a couple old films. One we watched was Flushed Away, This is a fab movie really funny so i really recommend it. Both Kellyn and Ceienna where glued to it.

Sunday morning brought us a break in the weather so we headed out to Shrewsbury to the Boot Sales once more. Again we filled the car but this time with some very mint and very rare finds. Daddy was over the moon.The rain soon began to fall heavy again so we headed home once more for a fun packed afternoon. After dinner Daddy set up a craft afternoon. We made Spiders and Bee's as well as cutting and sticking shapes.

We had hours of fun together. Thank You Daddy.

This little chap wandered in and we spent quite a while watching him. Kellyn was very gentle as he did not want to hurt him.
