get away

A get away to the county makes me feel so much better about our land that we live in. We are lucky to know friends who live in the county. It's so lovely to be outdoors after all the rain we have had the last few weeks. The boys had fun on the quid bikes and us girls had a great time with the animals.

Look at the baby alpaca ,it's only 2 days old.

Yes it is a camel,
love marie

hey

HEY wow i have a few hours to myself today,so what better to do is to clean the house, put a few loads of washing on,and update my blog.

I have been working so much this week I'm feeling a bit loss in time, the time I drop the boys to school put stephy in day care and start working it's time to pick the kids up,then there is homework then dinner then put the kids to bed.

This week I started cleaning a bed and breakfast place it was only supose to be one place but it looks like it will be 3 to 4 places, it's great because I can take stephy with me if she is not in daycare, great money no fuss.So it looks like that is going to be 2 to 3 times a week, then the other days in the garden with matt. it will be full on this year but I'm Really looking forward to it.

This week Stephy had a play mate Miss Mindy they are so girly when they are together, it's very cute. So like i had a new model around I had to get the camara out. LOOK at the lovely Blue eyes Mindy has (watch out dad get the shotgun ready).

Started climbing again now that the holidays are over.I was a bit sore the next day hehehe I will update photos on the next post because the blog will not let me put more photos : (

school

here I'm

WELL what a week we have had this week. My baby Nick started school, this is a huge step for him, if you know nick you will know he is a very shy kid. so I was very scared how he will go at school, so the night before I didn't sleep well because that day he was glued to me the whole day.

anyway at 7.30am i asked Nick if he was looking forward to going to school today and he said that he had a sore throat (great it has already started).

The time came to take him to school and he was fine the minute he walked in the class, he sat down and played on his own for a little (at this time i was getting a bit worry about him) Then he got up walked over to a group of kids and started playing (well after seeing this, I know he will be alright).

Well it was time to pick him up and find out how he liked it. He run out of the class room and said he loved it, he didnt stop talking about what he did. we got home and he said that he wanted to go back to school again I said he could in the morning,well no he wanted to go now hehehehe very cute.

The next day he was ready at 7am,dressed with the bag on his back, shoe laces undone,and yelling to stephy to hurry up to get dress so we could walk him to school.

Oliver started school too He is so happy to be back, He couldn't wait to see what teacher he had, well when he found out it was Mr Young he was over the moon, so it looks like we will have a great year this year.

I can't belive my boys are at school,they grow up so fast. ; (

why me

I'm still alive but my computer is having a face lift,so that is why i have not been updating in a long time, i miss reading every one's blog but I'm hoping in a week or two i will be back, once again my computer is giving me the s#%*s, It looks like we have losted all of our data on the computer I mean ALL, business stuff, photo's, everything from about6 years ago, I have saved a few things on Cd's. But a few months ago we got an external hardrive to put everything on it for a back up plan.so our computer has more space and it could work a bit faster, it was the best thing. I was happy that we did that, well after 3 months it didn't what to work, our computer didn't what to work too. GGRRRR. When the external hardrive didn't what to start up my heart stopped my babies photos are on it, so I got my mate to have a look at it, NO good news, still no photo's after hours and hours trying to look for it still nothing. FINGERS CROSS.

The good news is that we can get it back but it will cost a couple of thousands YES thousands to get it back. what i did find out that most peoples computer has a life time about 5 years then the hardrive in your computer will die, but in our luck both of our hardrive died in one hit. it was not from a storm, it was not a virus, it just stopped. You may think the external hardrive was a cheap one but it wasn't it was one of the best you can get on the market because we did our research on hardrives, no good that that did.

SO that is it, I do feel very sorry for myself at the moment. so please everyone please do your best to back up at least 3 times and don't count on only external ones.

photo's from xmas

Well I don't have alot of photo's of Xmas because i used my video camera most of the day, I have to say we had a fab time, Xmas eve I made a lovely dinner for my parents,Pat Matt's mum and my little group, It was the first time in years that we sat down and had a meal together it was very lovely,the kids were really good, so after dinner the kids open one gift then bed, well i through we would of had to fight to get the kids to bed but they were asleep before
there heads hit the pillow.Mum and dad stayed the night so they could see the kids faces in the morning. I was the one who couldn't sleep that night hehehheheh.The kids had everything that they wanted, so it started off great,but the Biggest surprise was my new camera from Matt,(still trying to work it out).

For lunch we went to Margette's and Alain's place, wow like very 2Nd year it was amazing,the food was amazing, the family/friends were the best people to hung out with for a lovely Xmas dayy.

We got home at about 7pm the kids went to bed,while, Matt, Pat and I played on the Wii heheheh it's a lot of fun.

I will have to try to work out how to put the video on here.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.
