Well wow what a couple of days it has been....Well a short version of the story is this...Ken had a son when we met....His name is Cory Richard...He has recently turned 16 in June this year and we have recently found him over my space....There was a lot  of bad blood between Ken and his ex(Belinda) and they both made mistakes after the break up...Well when we found Cory on my space we knew by the photo he had to be Kens son...Looking at them I am in shock of how much they look alike.....So our daughter Michaela added him as she too is keen to get to know him as well....She then got on his messenger and talked to him and told him who we were and why she wanted to meet him....He signed out and then we emailed him...His mum emailed back and said he did not want to make contact with Ken but Ken had to keep trying....Even if he met his sister and not him...In the End his mum rang us and we all talked on speaker phone...We are all trying to work something out so that all the kids can meet and Ken and Cory can meet and go from there....We are hopeful and really want to Meet him very much....Ken is scared but hopeful....Anyway here is some photos of Cory that Belinda has sent us and Cory has given us permission to put up.....

Well the last couple of weeks have been more than hectic organising an 18th for Aidan....Finally it all fell into place after djs cancelling the thursday before then booking another which also cancelled friday night then booking another who cancelled saturday morning!!!!!!!!!! So then to top it all off we booked another one who was set to arrive at 8.30 that never showed up lol oh dear it just was not meant to be lol Lucky we had the stereo and a bunch of mates cds for awesome music as the kids would think anyway lol.....In the end the party worked out really well for Aidan with all of his mates turning up there and as the hall hire had cost so much we had decided to charge $5 for the arm bands which they had to wear to get admittance...We ran out of arm bands at the door and ended up with what the police thought about 700 people there and thank god it was a hall.....LOL He had a ball really enjoyed himself and at midnight when he turned 18 he decided to wander down town to have a drink in a pub then go for a pub crawl himself...He asked me to come down town and have a drink with him so after I had cleaned the hall I wandered down town to have that drink with him...I gave him $100 and left him in the Shamrock with a mate he found there...I thought that if he came home in a taxi we could pay for it when he got here....At 4.30am I saw lights in the driveway and Ken got up to see who it was....In came two of his friends with Aidan ummm what would you call it hmmmm I know LEGLESS... They had found him at 4am knocking on the closed Shamrock door telling them that he was 18 and they had to let him in LOL...Oh dear...Well the celebrations went on for him into the next day his actual birthday and he has just started to come down now lol....Then came Michaelas birthday Mum arrived here at 9am with michaela and we went shopping for the day she was in a bad mood because she thought that we had forgotten about her birthday and we had just given all our energy into aidans.... While we were shopping Aidan was behind the scenes organising a little celbration of his own for her birthday so when she got home a group of people came and helped her celebrate her 15th in as well.... Well now I have a whole month before Tiana and Shys birthday so I think its time for  a rest......Lol  Not much else has been happening in the cook clan house hold so This is where I will leave it for today........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR SUNDAY AIDAN I LOVE YOU FINALLY IT IS LEGAL FOR YOU TO DO EVERYTHING YOU HAVE BEEN DOING ANYWAY LOL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR YESTERDAY MICHAELA I LOVE YOU HEAPS AND HEAPS AND NOW YOU ARE FINALLY 15 YOU CAN START TO DO SOME OTHER THINGS THAT AT 14 YOU WERE NOT ALLOWED TO LOL BUT NOT TOO MUCH BABY TRY NOT TO GROW UP TOO FAST.....
