well it has been almost a month since i have blogged (i know very slack).

Alot has happened in this time. I have moved to my mans house and we are with his parents (well his parents are with us lol). Have had the kids sick etc and been to the doctors about 50 gazillion times lol.

Had ethan go to the paediatrician yesterday to see about all his rash, turns out its a form of excema called saeborhaeic dermatitis or something like that. He cant wear fleecy lined clothes, nor can he be near wool. He must avoid eggs as much as possible (mainly the whites) and have to vacuum with dyson vac everyday and change his cot sheets every second day. he also has to be bathed in special oil or rolled oats in a stocking. his bathwater cant be too hot and he cant have a decent bath time either, as this makes the rash flare right up.

Also, my little man has an innocent heart murmur that needs to be watched very closely, as if it doesnt improve we either have to go to see a childrens heart specialist... and the closest one we have only comes to orange once every 3 months and is very hard to get into or the same bloke in sydney who we can get into pretty much straight away (confused yet?).

I always said my boy would be the child who would spend all my bank balance, and i was right. The GAP (the stuff you cannot claim back off medicare) was ONE HUNDRED BLOODY DOLLARS. I was gobsmacked to say the least lol.

Anyway on a brighter note, both kids are happy n healthy and we are enjoying life.

I am going to be so busy this weekend as i am painting my house and re tiling and linous tiling it to get it ready for a rental valuation so i can get a bit more cash flow,.

Crazy stuff LOL.

Hope all my minti friends are well.

Love Kayla.

Hello my fellow mintiers.

I haven't blogged in quite a while so i thought i should do a new blog.

My ethan (EJ) is now 4.5 months old. He is 6.4 kg and is about 64cm in length.
He had his 4 m.o needles the other day and he screamed. Poor bub. He had a bit of a reaction the next day - nothing too bad just a little bit of runny poo and was a bit grizzly.

My emily is 3 and a bit now and weighs 16 kg. She is going through all the very cheeky stages such as back answering and has unfortunately heard a few naughty words and has decided to add them to her vocabulary. I am just lucky that she says sucksake instead of f***sake. No i don't say that (well i dont around her) as i dont like kids swearing lol.

She is growing tall very quickly, and all her jeans that have been taken up - need to be taken down. We have had to resort to getting a lock for our old fridge freezer and put our medicine in that and then put the key somewhere safe because she started climbing to get into the high cupboards where our medicine was - another good thing that she knows is that medicine can hurt you very badly - so she doesnt touch it - but best to be safe than sorry i always say.

Cass (cassaustin) and i took our little kiddies (Austin and Emily - ej stayed with my nan) to see the Dorothy Show. Cass started dancing to the quack quack cockadoodledo song and i just burst out laughing.

Afterwards we went to maccas and had a feed - love my healthy maccas burger haha

We are moving tomorrow to live at my hubby's house and are going to be living with his parents. Will be nice but interesting to say the least LOL.

Anyway here are some photos of the kidlets.

Hope you are all well.

Love Kayla.

taking surveys? I am very fond of taking the odd survey in my spare time. It brings in a few extra dollars every month - not much but as far as i am concerned, every little bit helps.

I also like focus groups . That is where you have a group discussion for about 2 hrs on certain issues eg. world economy, and then get paid cash in hand for doing so. Usually between 50 and 150 dollars.

I am a member of a site called AWSurveys - an international survey site that pays via paypal - once you reach 75 dollars or more. You earn the money really quickly and you earn extra money for referring friends.
Here is the site:

i can't believe it.... he will be 2 months old in four days and my oh my - hasn't he grown!
He has marvellous head control and is a great sleeper. He is starting to get a bit of a cough but it's expected i guess, as emily has been sick for a few days with the flu - so no matter whether i keep her away from him or not - it's still in the air he is breathing.
Here is a pic of him for all to see!

today my beautiful girl is THREE. The time has gone so quickly!!
Yesterday she had a little family get together and cass came along with austin and they had a blast playing with her pressies and the toys at nans house!
she got spoilt rotten!
anyway must be off as motherhood calls!!
love kayla!

Well the day started off slow - as normal. Just chucked the washing on the line that got done last night and did another load and hung that out....
Cass came over and we had a chat while emily terrorised us all and drove us insane haha (no she didnt really). Emily is so funny. She thinks the sun shines out of Cass' butt lol she wouldn't leave cass alone to the point that she got up on cass' lap and had a cuddle (you're one lucky chicky cass).
Yesterday Emily woke up from her afternoon nap wanting to know if austin was here cos it was very noisy.  All i could do was laugh because of how cute it was. When he leaves she always says "where did friend go".
Emily has been a great big help to me helping with ethan and is behaving herself a bit better than i expected her to and for that i am grateful! She has not had a pooey happy for about a week since i smacked her for pooing herself... since then she's been telling us when she needs to have a poo so now she is toilet trained for poos just gotta get the wees down pat!

I think thats about it for now.... we do have pics but cant be bothered uploading them to here right now, will do it later!
Luv Kayla.

Alot of people here on minti have been asking me to hurry up and put pics of my precious little bundle up so they can have a squiz.... so I have finally decided to put a couple up!

Hope you all enjoy them..... i think he is so adorable.... he looks just like his daddy...but am under strict instruction not to post the pic of them together as hubby hates photos haha.

to everyone who has left messages in our lounge to say congratulations! WE have finally named our baby boy - And his name is Ethan James..... for those of you who got a photo sent to your phones....leece is his last name.... not his first!
He is such a beautiful little boy, and sleeps so very well. I just want to say an extra big thanks o alana, cazza and Mum (janice) for letting everyone know and also for being that extra bit of support! Also a big thanks to Nat (winja) and Tee (amerlinwinja) for just being great friends!

No photos are going to be posted yet, but when they are they'll be in my lounge! Thankyou ALL of you for being great friends and support people!
