Whoa! Flashback!

I was writing and scheduling a couple of blog posts for when it's Becky and Ellie's birthdays in the next few weeks.....

I ended up noticing I didn't have many of photos of Becky on my computer they were all in photo albums so got them out and was having a good look through as well as finding some great pics of Becky I found some fantastic ones of myself....I thought I would share a few with you and the story behind some of them!!

Number 1 - Me as a baby....Hours after I was born!!

Number 2 - My second Christmas (I think)...I do sort of remember it....I remember the red trampoline full of presents!! 

Number 3 - Ahh the paddling pool....I don't think I ever wore clothes in that one and as you can see I wouldn't get out of it even to eat!

Number 4 - Me in another one of my toys! The tunnel....I had hours of fun in it! Ahh the simple things!

Number 5 - My first steps!! I remember the story about this....My Aunty was there and I wouldn't walk as soon as she left I was up and about....hehehe

Number 6 - The day my little brother came home from hospital when he was born and me being the loving sister I am giving him a cuddle....

Number 7 - I loved that rocking horse...lol

Number 8 - My great Aunty Jean....She really is great....hehehe She's never changed in the last 30 or so years....She's 80 years old now and still looks the same! Love her to bits!! She was holding my brother and I....


Number 9 - My first pony Scampi! He was a little swine....lol As soon as I was set off to ride myself he would leg it to the nearest tree and find the perfect branch that he could just to say get under which would knock me off...lol I also must tell about my second pony....My dad rescued her from being slaughtered just because the owner couldn't afford to keep her....I remember him talking to this man and being told he had an hour to get back....My dad rushed back to get the horsebox only for it to have a flat tyre....He went and borrowed one from someone else...We made it back to rescue her in the nick of time....She used to be best friends with Scampi....I used to think it was because we had called her Chips!! True Story! 

Number 10 - My first school photo with my brother!! He had started nursery which means I would of been about 5 or 6 years old....

Ahhh the memories!!
