Stop Bugging Me!

GrannyPants came up to see us yesterday and bought Max a present, It was an insect sticker book!!! We had loads of fun with it. Have a look...............

Max Grows a mustache

Nik's caterpillar eyebrows

Watch out Max!

There's a big hairy spider on your nose!

Muahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Thanks for my present GrannyPants!

The postman came today and bought us a parcel, It was from my bestest friend in the whole world, Vanda! It had some Mr Men cookie cutters and three beautiful pink babygrows in it. Thank you so much for thinking about us :O) So we put them straight to use in the kitchen. Here are some photos of Max making ginger Mr Men.

This one looks a bit camp LOL

Look at the concentration

The finished result, and Mmmm......they're delicious!

Here is a photo of the beautiful babygrows, aren't they just lovely, Thank you very much :O)

Ok, i'm off to have a shower. Bye for now *waves*

Some photos

We went out to the P&D Dinner & Dance on Saturday, here are the photos we took before we left the house. Who's tummy do you thinks the biggest? LOL

He are some very recent ones of Max, taken yesterday with his new Ikea crocodile :O)

Computer stress!

Ok thats it for tonight cos Who Do You Think You Are? is on tv, so i'm off to watch, Bye!

My Birthday

It was my birthday yesterday, and i had some lovely things. Mark & Beverley gave me some beautiful flowers. Vanda, Andrew and the girls bought me a baby names book and a gorgeous necklace (Thankyou Vanda :O) and Nik bought me 2 x 2gb memory cards for my camera, the Rhianna cd, some berry body scrub and body butter (it smells nice enough to eat) and has paid for the police records for my great grandfathers brother, Agur Abner Hndley (he was a policeman not a criminal, before you ask LOL). Here are photos of some of them.

Ok, i'm off to get ready now cos we are off out tonight. Its the Peak and Dukeries Annual Dinner (Landrover club do) so i've got to try and make myself look beautiful (argh!) I'll probably look like a well dressed whale! Nik on the other hand, always looks fantastic when he's wearing a suit.

Bye for now *waves*

Nik's Been A Busy Bee!

Nik has been a busy bee over the last two days and has put the laminate floor down in Jakes old room and helped me move Jake's bedroom furniture from his old room to the back bedroom. Now Max and the new baby can share the larger front bedroom. Here is the result of all his hard work.











Its looking really good now but, needs a colour change. Its our bedroom next and i'm hoping to get him started on it next week so, that by next weekend we can go to Ikea and buy our new bedroom furniture, Yeay!

One last pink thing LOL before i go to bed :O)

My Pink Purchases!!!

I know i should wait but the urge to buy a few things in pink was far too great, so here they are (Elena keep your eyes off the piglet ones!!)

IT'S A GIRL!!

OMG! We did it! Its a Pink one!

Here she is posing for the camera, taken today at 20 weeks and 4 days :O) Isn't she gorgeous? The doctor said everything is the right size and in the right place but, the spout is missing on this one LOL

I went for the scan today and we were still deciding if we wanted to know on the journey there. I went into the scan room still undecided and when the lady had looked to see if everything was working ok, in the right place and the right size, i asked if she could tell what sex it was. She looked and asked if we wanted to know and we both said 'Yes!'. When she told us it was a girl, i asked her if she was sure even though i could see her'bits' on screen! I still couldn't believe it cos i was convinced it was going to be a boy, but Nik was right all along :O)

At last! My kitchen gets tiled!

Finally (and about time too!) we are getting the kitchen tiled. It took so long to actually get the worktops replaced because of the fault that i thought we'd never get anything done. The wonderful James Snell is our master tiler and a fantastic job he's doing too :O) Take a look at his good work!

Oxcroft Igloo man

Here is Jake's great building project which Max seems to fit into perfectly! Don't you think he did a great job? Its quite big and took hours to make (poor lads hands were blue when he finally came inside). Max loves it and i couldn't get him out of it. The local rabbits and pheasants must like it too cos there were footprints all round it LOL. Maybe they all huddled up together for the night when the snow was coming down fast?

Max made us both laugh this morning when he woke up (in our bed as usual) He said ...

'Mummy! The sun is shining and the birds are singing, Lets get up!' ROFLMAO Sometimes it makes me wonder how flippin old he is cos he's definately not 2 in the head!

We went to Ikea at the weekend and he finally (and off his own bat) went to play with the other kids in the restaurant play area. He kept introducing himself like this....

'Hello, My name is Max, Whats your name?' by the end of our breakfast he had made 2 nice playmates called Alex and Theo. It was lovely to see him interacting with children his own age as prior to this he prefered adults and looked at anyone as small as him with a puzzled expression and didn't really wanna know. I'm starting to think he'll be ok at nursery now when the time comes :O)

I'm still having trouble picking baby names :O( At the moment i like

Freya, Seth

Alexa, Noah

Milly, Finley

Evie, Lex

Kiri, Finn

Please, help! i'm really struggling. I've always had a name pick by now (20 weeks). I'm half way there only 20 more weeks to go. So, look at credits on tv, names in magazines, newspapers, books, anything. I want something not too common but not 'Way Out There' if you know what i mean. I don't wanna call it Apple, Orange or Melon, Luna, Zowie, Seraphina or god knows what other silly names people call their kids nowdays.

So suggestions please :O) Oh and remember it has to be three names. I already have.....

Daniel Adam Roy

Joshua Graham Lee

Jacob Symon Alexander

Max David Harry

Gonna go clean the house now *sighs* Bye for now......Toodle Pip!

Sledging!!

Oh, what fun we've been having in the snow!

We have been loving all our snow and have been having great fun in it. We went to Bolsover to use the sledge and Max thought it was Grrr-eat!

Jake has been very busy with his igloo and here he is posing with Max in it. I will have to get another photo of it because it now comes complete with a roof!!

Nik has become addicted to Ebay!! OMG! he is turning into a NetNerd!! I can't get on my blinkin laptop anymore *TUTS* and i keep trying to find all my Hindley's.

I had a lovely message from my bestest friend in the whole world (Vanda). It went like this -

Did Silas marry Ellen Cook? [Yes] Were his parents Thomas Hindley born 1827 & Barbara Ditchfield born 1829 & died 1905? [Yes] Did Eubulus Hindley (born 1858) marry Eugenie Clarke (born 1863) & have a daughter Barbara (born 1889)? [Yes] Did Keren Happuch Hindley (born 1863) marry James Dunkeld (born 1859 & died 1948)? [Yes] Did Julius Augustus Hindley (born 1861) marry Ellen Valentine (born 1859) [Yes] Did Cleophas Hindley (born 1858) die in 1861? [Yes] Are we talking about the same Hindley's [Definately] ;O)

Thank you so very much for taking the time to look them up for me. I did already have the information but it did give me the ''Warm fuzzies'' to know you took the time to search them out for me :O) Thank you.

I do have them on most census's but i have a few missing, i've tried searches but with no luck (I know they aren't dead). The ones i am missing are -

1901 census for Thomas Hindley - 74 (I have found his wife Barbara but he's not with her) Last living in Culcheth

1901 census for Silas Hindley - 48 Last found living in Pennington
1911 census for Silas Hindley - 58 last found living in Pennington

1891 Keren Happuch Dunkeld - 28 Last living in Bedford but i know she moved to Lancaster after she got married.

1881 Lewis Hindley - 14 Last living in Culcheth

1891 Lewis Hindley - 24 Last living in Culcheth

Dunno where they are, but they are definately hiding somewhere. I'll have to keep searching.

Anyway thats all for now, will update again soon.....Bye *waves*
