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!!!!)
