Parties!

Well I would just like to tell you I have been very busy since coming home! I have had two more parties and a Christmas Party and I tell you, that guy in the red suit! He is scary!!!!

Going Back to Northern Ireland!

Well, we are back home but I thought I would tell you I was really sad to be leaving Mexico and saying good bye to my friends! I was on another flight! (well 2) It was all very busy. I told Daddy not to be nervous, this flying is a piece of cake!

Party time!!!!

I had a Superman birthday on Saturday! Since it has taken Mum and Dad so long to get the internet I am only getting round to getting this site up and going again! They have left me with so much to tell you!

Granny and Granada are here!

Honestly they aren't in the computer anymore! I dont know how they got out but it all happened when I was sleeping!

Guess what???????

On Friday I am going to be one! Yes that is right a whole one! (To be honest I have no idea what it means but it seems to be a big thing to Mum and Dad so I am just going along with it!

Aunty Robin....

She is here and she gave me my birthday presents! Early!!!!!!!!! It was great, I love them! Thank you Mackinnons! Miss you Uncle Christian, Maddie, Josh, Ethan, & Amelia! Can't wait to catch up with you all again!

A lot happening..

Well, there seems to be alot happening at the minute. Joe is coming up this weekend to stay followed by Aunty Robin coming, and then once she leaves it's only a week until Granny & Granda Irons get here! Then it is almost my birthday! Wow! Between times we are packing! Mummy was cross with me last night as as she was putting stuff in the cases, and I was lifting it out and throwing it! (I have learned to throw, it is always backwards at the min, it's a work in progress). Here is me and Jonny chillin! After a busy week!

Jonathan is 1!!!!!!!

My friend Jonny turned 1!!!!!!! He is about 3 weeks older than me! We had a great day at his party. There were toys, a horse and a cake! I got my own slice! It was great fun! Here are some of the photos!

More wheels.......

What you think???? I think this was the biggest wheels I have had yet. Dad kept saying something like it would be easier to get the QE2 round than this thing! I dont know what he was talking about I was doing all the work!

My wheels....

I have had 2 sets of wheels within a short space of time! What do you think??? I liked them both!!! I tend to only steer with one hand though and if you're in my way I tend to bash into you! Beep Beep!

Biscuit...

So....Mum decided to give me a biscuit to keep me quiet, and happy! While all the missionaries were here for dinner. However things didn't go as planned! Mummy was shocked at the result!

Guess what..

Me and Daddy love Northern Ireland's Green & White Army, and look, we have matching clothes to prove it! P.s. Thank you cousin Jackson for this wee outfit!!!

Party Time...

Last night was very important in Mexico history, their Independence Day. So every year the churches have a party! It is a great way of everyone coming together for the night and there are games, stalls for food and people dress up! Including us!!! What do you think???

Me and my Mummy...

Here we are! Just in case you can't remember her! Mummy is normally on the other side of the camera!

Aunty Laura and Uncle Ash

I LOVE motorbikes.... When Granny and Granada were here to visit in June they brought me out this t-shirt from them! It was 12-18 months but mummy decided to put it on me anyway and guess what it was a great fit! (it might have been because I was running out of clothes) We had a water shortage for a few days and so Mummy couldn't do any washing!

Me and my Daddy!

Here we are just watching a wee bit of t.v! I get bored after a few minutes. Oh and can you see my new Crocs! I only have one on as I like to keep the other one close to look at it! My Granny Irons sent them to me they are Scooby-Doo Crocs!

Working..

I wanted to see what all the fuss was about! Daddy would head off to work in the morning and not get back to later on! Mummy and I surprised him one day with lunch! This gave me the chance to see what he was up to, and try some things out! Daddy's office is quite nice but I think I should try and keep the chair!!!!!

standing...

You learn something new every day or so they say, Im not sure about every day but I am definitely learning at the minute. Here I am standing, I can pull myself up on things, sometimes I do lose my balance but Mummy or Daddy are usually on hand to help me!

Daddy's Birthday...

It was my Daddies birthday also, as I surprise we went away for the night (that was his present from me and Mummy) I had to save hard for this! The two photos are me and Daddy checking emails and cards he got that morning and the other one is the wee bed I got in the room!

It was like a big boys bed, it had a pillow and blankets! As you can see I was very happy!

Another busy week...

It was very busy last week! Me and Mummy were at church last Sunday. Daddy was meeting us there, so Mummy was holding me and I think Pastor Alfredo felt sorry for her. So me and him just hung out at the back of the church until was time for him to speak. He handed me back to Daddy then. I could have went up to the front with him, I've found my voice over the last few weeks!!!

I'm a big boy...

My Aunty Laura told me this week that in 11 weeks I will be 1!!!!!!!!! I'm not really sure what it means but it seems to have really affected Mummy and Daddy. So Here is a picture of me all dressed up ready to go out! I think I am getting bigger what do you think?

Painting

Mummy thought it would be a good idea to get me to do some painting! I enjoyed having my hand in the paint and even putting my hand on the page for some impressive (well so I think) art work! However what I didn't like was getting my hands cleaned afterwards! I wanted to know why I couldn't just lick it! What harm would it do??? I try and put everything else in my mouth at the minute.

Zahi..(Za-ee)

This is my friend who lives next door. We were over for dinner with his family last Sunday night. You may remember it was his birthday when I arrived in April! We had a great time together and he even shared his toys with me!

Ice cream..

If you know my mummy she is always saying things like, Im not giving Ben that.... I must have got her on a good day! We went on a wee trip the other night for ice cream! I even got some! So here I am working my way through the ice cream! It was lovely but a bit messy!

some light reading..

Mummy and daddy keep any english magainzes they get there hands on, and so the other day they were on the floor! (I think mummy said she was tidying but all I was seeing was mess!) Anyway I wanted to see what all the fuss was about and so i went to work!

Paddling Pool...

The other day mummy and daddy got a pool out just for me (but to be honest I think they they had as much fun!) I was creamed from head to toe and daddy made me wear this stupid hat! I did have a good time and was very tired after!

Friends..

Well I wanted to let you know I have got alot of friends so I will introduce you to another one today! Jonny!!! He is almost 3 weeks older than me! Here we are just chillin out one night last week while the big people talk or something.....

In the airport..

Here is me and dad reading before we get on to the plane! I got into my pj's so that i could sleep on the plane and just chill out when we got back home!

Packing...

I wanted to help mum and dad pack so here I am helping but for some reason mum started to get a bit cross when she saw that I was lifting things out of the case and rolling away with them! I was only helping!!!!!

Friends..

This is me and Nisha, she is coming to Mexico in the next year so we got to met and chat before then.  I was explaining to her about what it was like! She liked to give me kisses! I wasn't to sure about this! There were all kids there to, the Reids I had already met them a few times in Northern Ireland but it was nice to see them again!

My teacher....

While mum and dad were in class I had my own class to go to! I even got a report every day to let them know what I had been doing! This is Jackie, she looked after me most days and was there when I started to crawl! 

The Yoders...

They are mum and dads mentors here at cross training but they also visit Mexico and they were  in Mexico when we first arrived! So here we are all together! They think I have got bigger since then! I have a good time with them as you can see..

Just chillin....

As you know I like to swing mum and dad are busy all day but we get together at lunch time and also after class! This was me at lunch time! I look like I'm not happy it was because I wanted mum to sit beside me but she wasn't listening....

Cross training

Mum and Dad are doing some training at the min so we are in the USA like I said this is where we are staying! (You cant really see the house sorry about that mum took the photo!) We live in the building in front of the red car on the right! 

My first 4th July

Here I am at my first 4th of July with daddy! I even had a bib to tell everyone this was my first.  It was a big deal only problem was the weather wasn't good so as a result there were no fireworks so.... I just chilled out instead. What do you think of the cake Daddy and aunty Robin made?

American Folk centre....

So this was cool, there was alot more animals and a place for me to dress up and also to play! It has been a busy week! Here I am with the Mackinnons in a hot air balloon and with Aunty Robin and a calf!
