Two Weeks Already

Today Rylee is two weeks old, I already feel that it is going to fast. Weighed in today at 8pd 6oz, my gosh I must be supplying the right stuff, but slow down Miss Rylee you going to be a beach ball at this rate.

She is sleeping so well. Blaze and Darryl can't go too long without a cuddle, kiss or just checking her. Darryl is already saying that he will protect his big and little sister from smelly boys when they are all older. Thank you son that is great news.

We are heading down to visit all of the family for xmas and introduce Miss Rylee to everyone. Hopefully my mum will remember her and get some quality time with her before she gets much sicker. Everyone needs to spend as much time with their family as possible because you nevr know when sickness is going to take them away too soon and it is too late to say that "I / We should have...."

My mum has always been a big role model in my life and I wish I could keep her around to watch over me and my family for a lot longer. To watch her grandkids all grow in to beautiful adults. all my family just hope that this sickness is not going to give her too much pain for too long.

Back to my beautiful babies (because i get too sad otherwise), Blaze and Darryl have prizegiving at school tomorrow then it is the holidays. They havve had a great year they have both shown such achievements with their school work. I have all the certificates in their scrapbooks. Sometimes they say way do you do that mum, Because I am soo proud of you I tell them and they go Don't be so sappy!!! Out of the mouths of babes.

Well better go check on the cake that Vince and Blaze helped me make before..

Til next time

Welcome to Rylee Bobbi Keyte-Cleverly

Well she is here as of 03/12/2008 at 2325hrs weighing in at 3560grams (7pd13oz). She is perfect is everyway. Big Sister and Brother love her to pieces and she must of had 3000 photos before the end of the first 24hrs.

She made a rush trip into the world and we are so glad that she arrived safely. i am feelin a little more normal today. It has been a different week, and this whole pregnancy. We are finally home from hospital. Vince and the kids did such a great job looking after Rylee while I was rushed off to theatre, not knowing what was happening to me, and I love them for that.

Oh well off back to enjoyin life with our three kids and restin heaps on docs orders.

I'm Back

Hey hey I have finally got time to sit and catch up on things.

Well it has been months literally!!!! since I got on her to update. I have been ringing people and email (when I can) but here goes nothing.

Calving is finally over til next June. Now we are in the last week of Artifical Breeding Programme (fun fun fun) six weeks of this is so time consuming, so that we can have more calves next season. Some days I think what is the point to this. Then the bulls go with the cows.

Kids have been soo helpful on the farm it is hard to believe sometimes that they are only 7 and 8 (oops she turned 9 last friday). They go off and change gates for the different herds and help set up the shed with me, because I getting slower now that pregnancy has taken over.

We brought them some new mountain bikes in the last school holidays, with 18 gears, so they ride all over the farm now. Getting really dirty you wouldn't think the bikes were only three weeks old. I will post some pictures with the kids tomorrow.

Well pregnancy has been really good, we have seven weeks to go, and starting to really feel like its time to slow down. Kids are marking days off on the calendar. Try to explain to them what if bubba is early, they say no this is when bubba is going to arrive. So Big sister and brother are already laying down the rules. Had a little high blood pressure last week made the midwife and Vince panic, i just making sure that they are prepared, (ha ha you guys). This pregnancy has been so much better then the other two ever where. Least I not on complete bed rest or in hospital and on crutches. That gives a person nightmares about being pregnant.

Blaze turned 9 on Friday, was down with a tummy bug at the same time so it was a long wet and spewy weekend in the Keyte-Cleverly house. Well that is enough I think, other stuff happened but hey you get the idea it been BUSY.

Where Have We Been

Well it has nearly been a month since last post.

Mummy brain must be kicking in. Well it has been yet another busy month with travelling to Hamilton a couple of times, the truck needing a new drift shaft, going to pregnancy tests and appointments, everyone in the house getting the dreaded bug.

So yeah that is us belly is going (14 weeks gone now, whoa!!!), kids are nearly finished another term of school this year is going soo fast. Visited the family in the south, they all okay getting older more ailments to deal with. Some more scary then others, but thats another thing.

Great news is that as of 17 June 2008 at 11.38am there is a new great neice in the family she weighed in at 5pd 8 oz only tiny. Had low blood sugar levels so was incubated for two days and now has jaudice. But she is beautiful and her name is Te Paea Christine Turner-Cleverly. Big sister Andora jr loves her to pieces and is already trying to share her lunch with her new addition.

Well that me for now. A bit lame but all good.

Hey Hey

Hi guys sorry it been soo long since I posted anything but life is soo busy. We have been doing soo much taking kids to the zoo, moving my mother-in-law around country. Drying off cows. Crashing motorbikes, getting pregnant. Darryl's birthday. But we are all doing great.

Life is slowing a bit now it might be that I am off work at the moment because I crashed my four wheeler and have hurt my knee. Talk about clumsy, boss said if I needed a break it wouldd have been easier to ask. I love spending tijme with the kids but feel stink that vince is doing all the work himself.

Well better get these two off to school so here is some pictures of them at the zoo and Darryl with his cake he made. Love ya

What A Month

Well it has been just on a month since I last posted anything. What a slack. We have been so busy with the kids sports events and school trips. Work has been one of those months because it is nearly time to dry off the cows and wait for the new calves to arrive. Some cows have lost there calves and others have just gotten sick as they do aroung this time. Then on top of all of that we have had friends up to stay, our great niece had her fist birthday in Hamilton, our nephew on my partners family had his third birthday. It aint over yet we heading away again this weekend to our another nephew in Vince's family first birthday, then it is Ashlee's 17th, Timothy is off to Australia for six months. School holidays are around the corner.

I so would not change going to any of these gthings but sometimes you just feel they all happen at once. Well easter is officially over we have had a house full right through the kids had fun with their cousins. We had extra helpers in the cow shed. Thanks heaps guys.

Next month It is Happy Birthday to Presley and Knox I will try get up to town this week and get a little something to post.

Well time for breakfast. Hopefully post again soon.

Wot A Weekend

Well we have just had our weekend off work. We decided we would stay home instead of driving all over the country to visit the fambam. Makes a nice change. Also there was a burnout competition on in Dargarville this went for the weekend so we went along witht he little petrol heads to see it.

Well I have never seen Darryl so quite and still just from all the nice vintage, v8, v6, 4 cylinders, hot rods. All that smoke and some even had fire. that was Blaze too if she could of she would have been right up against the cage so she could get the first look at them. We all got really wet as there was a freak pour down late in the afternoon, next year we will go a little bit more organised with Tarps and raincoats just incase. Andora and her partner came for a visit as well which was good for Ash to see her mum.

My brother-in-law spent all day in the beer tent, we were like wot a waste you can't see anything from there and it sooo dare of the alcohol, we just going to wait til we get home. Cause someone has to drive.

Kids went for a ride on the merry-go-round when carts were having a break they looked so bored I had to take photos of them.

Can't belief it is so expensive for our kids to go to school with fees and stationery then there is the photocopying and trips and they not even at highschool. Hopefully they learning heaps.

Well that me for now.

It's Raining

Well this is pretty boring but it is finally raining here, we have had no raing for six weeks and it has been ridiculously hot.

Blaze and Darryl went o the beach the other day and we had a ball, they just got home from school and are sback in the pool in the rain the water is so warm. Well its time to go milk the cows again.

School Holidays are Over!!!

Well the new school term has begun.

The kids are back into school, catching up with friends. The uniforms, making of lunches and doing homework is now got to be put back into some routine. Fun fun fun!!!

That means that I have to get organised again, to make sure that all their stuff is ready before I go to work.

We took them to the a&p show yesterday what a ball. Kids went on merry-go-round, bouncy castle and bumper cars. That was a crack up. Ashlee and I did the Kamikazi I have not done that for years, still a good ride, got a few bruises for the fun though. Ash had never been on it before so that made it even more funny for me.

Vince went straight to the slug gun booth and won us all teddy bears. Then he threw some darts and won more teddies and a fly catcher thing (kids really like this)... Keeps them amused for hours.

well can't think of anything else will go read my angels a story before they head off to bed so they don't wake late for school.

bye for now

Waitangi Day

Well it is Waitangi day here and I have been to work and are home now. I have finished cleaning the house man that was hard work, (harder than milking the cows). Kids are back off to school tomorrow wop wop!!! I have loved having them home for the holidays but they are sick of me and are getting really bored very fast. even the cows don't keep them happy now.f

We going to the school for a swim today because the heat is already upon us, the kids tired of their pool and want to be able to jump and dive. here is a few my grey hairs to add to the collection. Things we never considered dangerous I now think of as NO WAY are my kids doing that. Well thats me for the day!!!

My Great Neice

Well this is Miz Andora Tessana Te Urumahora Cleverly-Turner, yes that is a mouth full but worth it.

See will be a big 1 year old on 10 March so wop wop.......

My lil Petrol heads

well kids have been out on them again, every time they ride I don't want to watch but just can not take my eyes off them. THen when the bikes stop and I can not see them I think the worst. But usually it is just out of gas.

What ever happened to playing on swings.

Well here is a photo of each of them on their bikes

Well we live in the North Island of New Zealand it is a great place. We have two gorgeous kids Blaze is eight and Darryl is six. Dairy farming is the best life for bringing up a family and we are not far from towns and cities to get that fix of shopping.

Not sure what else to write now so bye bye
