Another weekend has past and boy, it went quickly! Friday was Nathan's birthday and he planned to go and play golf in Roxburgh with his mate James. 2x games at 18holes each..... I don't think he was a sore (from chaffing) or as tired as he was when he went with his Mate Blair (who is now teaching in Kuwait for a year or so - we aren't sure how long). He enjoyed the day and that was the best thing.

Flynn however has Croope and is coughing like a seal, poor wee man. I stayed home with him on Friday as I didn't want Nathans birthday to be ruined and I would have just been worried if I was at work anyway. Flynn is currently on steriods for his poor wee inflamed pipes (its a form of broncitis apparently). He is full of green snot and keeps it running continuously at the moment.... NICE!! (NOT).

We did manage to get outside and have some fresh air and playtime, so that was nice. Took Flynn to Aramoana beach Saturday, beautiful day and Bella loved it too! (didn't take any pics sorry). Today, after living on a farm/farms for about 3 and a half years now, I saw my first calve being born!! I have to say.... its completely different to how I imagined it. Nathan needed my help and poor Flynn didn't know what to do, he looked like he was intreged but scared at the same time.... I thought he was going to loose the plot and cry but he was okay! Got a bit clingy though, I do think he was a bit unsure what was happening! err I would be too!!

I have sent off Nathan and Flynn's passport applications! That makes things feel like Australia is getting closer (November!!). I can not believe how fast this year is going!!

Lack of photos today and just a short blog, but I did manage to find this photo of me absolutely laughing my head off!! Bit random but it is ok I guess! Have a good week and be sure to let me know how it went!! xx

On the farm

Well what can I say, it is definately calving season on the farm! Lots of babies and we all love them (except for Nathan). I can understand that, they are hard work and heavy to lift.

Flynn and I go and see them in the weekends, the only spare time I seem to have now, which I try not to end up doing all of the house work in two days to compensate for a weeks worth! I found when I first went back to work all I was doing was house work in the weekends, but I was missing out on time with Flynn. I try to get some done after work at nights now so it doesnt build up so much. A bit of an adjustment period!! This is our house from the other side of the section to show you the house, quite nice!

I cant complain, we have an awesome section and it is look reasonably tidy at the moment, its very flat and fully fenced with the closest neighbour about a km away from us down the road!
This last weekend just gone, Flynn and I decided mums car needed a good cleaning!! Hehe, just look at the cheeky grin he has on his face, like he knows its going to be more fun than work! What a cutie eh!! I have to admit it was a nice sunny day and we did have fun!!





He tends to get a wee bit tired after a day on the farm and then coming home to play on our huge section and cleaning mums car! I guess I would fall asleep anywhere if I used all that energy and only had a wee body as well!! (Ha, dreams are free, but I will keep trying!!).

That's all for now, Nathan's birthday on Friday so may have a new blog after the weekend!
