The Boy.....again!!!

Sorry folks, but here are yet more pics of Matthew...!!! I promise that in the New Year we will start to put other stuff up, but at the moment we are too busy getting ready for christmas and New Year to be doing anything exciting!! So enjoy.........

Playing with Fireman Sam (amongst lost of other toys!!)

Yah....daddy makes a great trampoline..says Matthew!!

Matthew then decided bouncing on Janet was much more fun..... and then followed this up with a few tickles.....although Matthew def came off worse in the tickling round....


Boing.......!!! tickle tickle!!!

And some more pics...... only at this point Matthew realised how high Daddy could make him fly......... and he loved it!!! (not sure about Dady tho..he looked a bit knackered o the run home last night!!)




So, that all for now!!! we will give the photos a rest now until Christmas....cos there will be lots of photos to go up at that point.

So Graham and I are off to Rothesay for christmas, then France for New Year with his parents which should be great fun. we will go from absolute madness of christmas in Rothesay to relative peace and solitude in France. So no doubt there will be lots of photos of both (especially if i get what i want from Santa for christmas!!)

More pics of Matthew!!

More pics of Matthew for you all...im afraid he is just too adorable not to publish on the blog(although im reliably informed by Mr Rieu- Clarke that this blog was intended mainly for his Range Rover conversion but i seem to have taken over!!!)

So hope you all aren't too bored, im sure there will be more Raneg Rover pics on the blog after christmas!!!!!!!!!! (either that or Grc can get himself another blog!!!)

So this week Matthew discovered how much fun it was to jump all over Daddy (encouraged slightly by me of course!!), not so sure Daddy enjoyed it as much as Matthew tho!!!

This was a great game.....the elephant blows little butterflies out of the trunk and you catch them in a net!!!!!!! Well matthew and Graham enjoyed it!!!!

How can you resist this adorable little face.......not much longer and he will be at his first off road event...terrorising everyone!!!!!

Grace's Birthday Party

So as some of you may know, Janet and I spent last weekend in Dundee with the rest of the Rieu-Clarke Clan, for Grace's second birthday. Grace had a ball....got lots of pressies and mad auntie Janet even decorated the house (and street!!) with balloons to show everyone where the party was!!!

So we thought we would share some pics of the birthday girl with you all!!!

Heres Grace playing at Vets and checking the poor doggies heartbeat.....she also got lots of other vetinary goodies......all i can say is poor Boris & Jack (family dogs!!) whom i feel may suffer the brunt of this vetinary enthusiasm!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GRACE!!!

Grace got a new play Kitchen for her Birthday, which gave her and Auntie Janet hours of amusement on her birthday!!!!

Matthew

So we were visiting the Boy last week, he is doing well. Growing like a weed, with the cheekiest little smirk you will ever see!!! Has to be said, he def takes after his dad in being able to wind me around his little finger.....!!! Although to be fair, he does do a fine line in strops....not sure where that comes from as both his parents deny it comes from them...!!!!!

How can you resist that little face........

Bit like Daddy, not just happy playing with it but needs to see how it comes apart!!!!! And how to put it back together afterwards!!!

Little Poser!!!! But cute as a Button

No Dad, thats so not how to do it!!!!! Here let me show you.....

Matthew loves Lunar Jim.....and as you can see so does daddy (Grc is trying to work out if the lunar belt would fit him too!!!!)

Contented like daddy...surrounded by cars and helicopters with a drink in one hand.....bliss!!!

Keep watching as we will be putting up more photos of Matthew and some of Grace's (Matthews cousin) birthday party next week.

Tunnocks Rally of Mull - Team "The Dogs Bollocks"

So not posted anything for a while as been having internet issues at home!!!

So the holiday went well, Grc had a ball in Mull,as you can see in the following photos!! Was just a shame that Gordons car got broken on the Saturday afternoon which meant all of team "The Dogs Bollocks" were able to kick back, have a few beers......mind you, hadn't they managed that even when he was still in the rally???!!!!

Im sure Grc, will post soon and fill you all in with all the Mull gossip but for the moment here are some photos......................

Team TDB hard at play...whoops i mean work!!!!

Ready......Steady.......Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoops!!!! Thankfully Car 100 managed to stay on its wheels all weekend! Not like this unfortunate driver!!!


So that was Mull (although im sure i will have posted this all wrong and Grc will re-do it as soon as he can!!!!) , so if you fancy some more info then give Grc a shout,

This was the ferry off Mull, pretty busy as you can see our poor Disco crammed into the top left hand corner!!! (not sure how this photo got in but as im so computer illiterate im not sure how to get it off!!!!)

October holidays

So we are off on holiday from 5th October for 8 days.....unfortunately for Janet, not somewhere abroad or even somewhere Sunny!!!! G

We are off to Rothesay, Isle of Bute, for a few days to visit the family, and so Graham can play Bob the Builder or is that Ed the Electrician....and put up some lights for Mum McCrae!!!! Then he is off to Mull to play Mad Maniac Chaser Car.....please beware this creature if you are on Mull during this time...approach with caution!!! Unless you are carrying some vital part of Gordons Audi!!hee hee Jx

Yep so im off to Mull chasing car 101, and attempting to help fix it if it all goes wrong!!!!!!!! No that i will be enjoying myself much.............cars, alcohol, boys only holiday...what else could i need in wet windy October!!!!! Roll on Matthew being old enough to come join his dad!!!! G

Keep watching and no doubt we will get some photos of Mull up her for you all to see soon!!!!

The Boy

So just a few pics of Matthew for you all to see...... will update them as and when!!!

So.....just before anyone reading this starts to get the wrong idea...i spent the weekend shopping and not getting my hands, or any other part of me dirty!!!!! hee hee. Although i have been told that that will change...............me thinks not!!!!!! lol Janet x

So this weekend we are off to Scotland again (ever feel as if the M1 and M6 are an integral part of your weekend, in fact you actually miss them when you have a weekend at home!!), to see the rangie and the Boy (as graham affectionately refers to him -pics to follow!!). So maybe see some of you then.

As well the balloon festival we have also started the Range Rover Project, Here are some Photos!!!Take One of these a much abused Range Rover 3.5 EFI Vogue!!!!

This is Iain Helping Remove the Roof!!!

How about this then the ultimate Sun roof!!!!!!!!!!Lots of self tapers had to be removed to get to this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now the roofs off it's time to remove as much of the rear body as we can!!!!!!!!!!

Once all is removed this is what you have left!!!!! but we still have some more cutting to do, the back of the chassis is still way to long!!!!

Well we've been busy recently a couple of weekends ago we went to Bristol for the international Balloon festival.

Hello There

Well this is Janet's an my Blog spot. We hope to update this on a regular basis and also update what we are doing in life!!!!
