Erin’s christening went well, getting shots as just a family member is hard though, especially when everyone is crowded all around the font and not much opportunity to snap people without someone else blocking the way, but the shots I did get I will save for another post

But afterwards we went back to my cousin’s house for food, drink and laughter, and for the kids: lots of fun playtime on the swings and slide

Cute pictures of lauren, (she had a party blower but couldn’t do it properly so was doing a tune through it… I have to get her a kazoo!)

and Morgan on the slide…

a quick snap of my nan and my cousin Sarah (who is Erin’s mum)

and the cutest puppy you ever saw… Right behind my not-so-puppy anymore Taz of course!

I will have to come back and post a few snaps I managed to get of the Christening sometime soon!

Sadly, last Wednesday we lost our beloved Staffordshire Bull Terrier “Buster”. He was 12 years old and we all loved him to pieces and picked him out when he was just 6 days old. Our other dog “Taz” misses him loads. Taz is just 2 months older than Buster.

Luckily, I have some cute photos of Buster including some of him as a puppy on our old film camera, and I went about making my dad an awesome Fathers Day present.  He loved Buster dearly, as he was his running partner until he got too old to go for a long run anymore.

So I got on the computer and put together a storyboard of photos of our dog, took it to Asda (along with some smaller prints for my mini book of Buster) and got a frame for this:

He absolutely loved it, and I’m so pleased   It sits in the home gym (my old bedroom lol!) next to the running machine, so dad can go running and have Buster there with him.  It’s things like this, and looking over the photos to remember him… that’s what it’s all about for me.

If you’re not a regular to my personal blog, then you’re probably not aware that every Saturday since I was born (and in fact, this has been a tradition since before I was born), I go and see my nan. Sadly my gramp passed away on 17th February so it’s not quite the same now but even more important to us that my family go to my nan’s and enjoy each others company – and fun for me as I get to capture “us”

Flowers for my nan for Mothers day

Leanne colouring in. She was doing it with Kenzie, but he disappeared a few times so she worked on her own picture. I did one myself in there back a few months ago lol!

And poor Felix, who had to get shaved as she was getting to knotty.  She was my gramp’s baby
