My little Neice...

Amber fell pregnant within their first month of marriage, but don't worry, it was planned! This is a pic of her at 'bout 8 months... she carried really beautifuly!Olivia Taylor Daly was born on the 10th of March 2009 and weighed a wopping 3.84kg's. This was her first photo taken at the hospital - she is so sweet!

Once Ambz and Shaun were settled at home, they got Krystal to come take some pics of their new little buddle of joy...

The proud parents...


... and even prouder grandparents!

Bottoms up!

We had to take a pic of Shauns hands compared to hers to show just how tiny she was.

I just love my little neice - she is SO beautiful and absolutely perfect!

My New Family!

Now that i married i have an amazing new family! I feel truly blessed to have a family like Byron's! So, i thought i'd put some pics up to brag...

This is my wonderful mom in law, Glenda.

I don't know where all the rude 'mom-in-law' jokes come from, coz i have never had a days problem with Glenda. She is the sweetest, kindest lady who will bend over backwards to help you. She is gentle and quiet spirited and is an absolute joy to be around!

Next is my new dad, James.

What an incredible man - always full of joy and life and enjoys a good joke. He loves to tease and stir for fun, so i've promised to buy him a wooden spoon for Christmas...!

This is Shaun and Amber...
I'm sure you can see straight away that Shaun is Byron's brother. They are so alike it's scary! Ambz is his lovely wife. I get on so well with both of them and couldn't have asked for better!

This was 2007 when Shaun proposed to Ambz... They got married in April last year (2 months before Byron and i).

A pic from their beautiful wedding...

I really love my new family!

Thank the Lord for that - i don't know how people cope if it were any different!

Honeymoon - Nguni

Some more pictures of Nguni...

Sorry, Mr Zee bent down as i took the pic... Hmm!

This is a 'Pumba' (Warthog), they where everywhere!

This pic is seriously blurred because we were driving in the truck, but i put it up coz it's still so stunning!

Yes, it was FREEZING!

(Amber, Shaun, Byron and Me)

A gorgeous baby elephant...

He walked right in front of our truck - He was scarily close!

If you look really hard, you'll see 2 Lion sitting on the plane...

Some Buffalo... I think they look really ugly!

Some cuddle time before our evening game drive.

I know i put alot of pics up, but we just had such a super time that i couldn't decide which pics to cut out. I just love going on holiday - what a blast!

Honeymoon - Nguni

This was our final stint of our honeymoon... We met up with Byron's brother and sister-in-law and flew to East London to another game logde called Nguni River Lodge which is situated in the Ado Elephant Park.

I must just say, the bath was AMAZING!!!

This was the oudoor shower, and yes, i braved it in the freezing cold because i had to wash my hair... how sad!

Honeymoon - Champagne Castle

Ok, so at Champagne Castle, we decide we were going to do the 'Sunset Trail' walk which was a 3 hour walk. So off we headed having a jolly time, when all of a sudden, we realised we were horribly lost! Our little 3 hour walk turned into a nightmare 6 hours... We left after breakfast at 'bout 9am and managed to find our way back by 'bout 3pm!

It was so scary, but fortunately, my husband managed to get us home - thanks babe!

Believe it or not, this was a little waterfall we found...!


This was me dead on the floor when we finally arrived back - we slept like logs that night and could barely move the next day! (not to mention our sunburn too...!)

Honeymoon - Drakensburg Sun

Honeymoon continued... We popped in to the Drakensburg Sun for a day, it's really lovely there and was just up the road from Champagne Castle Hotel where we were staying.

Now here is Champagne Castle Hotel... This is one of our favourite places to go! It's beautiful!

My dream honeymoon was to go somewhere where you could get a white robe and slippers, so i had to take a pic of my moment...

Honeymoon - Nambiti

More honeymoon pics at Nambiti... It was Freezing there!!!

Our Big Day!

Can you believe that it has almost been a year already since we got married! It's gone so fast, but it has certainly been the BEST year of my life!

I'm still trying to figure out this whole 'Blog' thing, so here are a few pics from our special day...

Our Honeymoon...

These are pics from our honeymoon - What a fantastic time away! We went all over the place and just had so much fun! This first pic was at Fern Hill Hotel, as you can see, we stayed in the Mandela suite - Whoooo!

We then went on to Nambiti which is a 5 star game lodge in Colenso - This was most certainly the highlight of our trip!

When we arrived back from our evening game drive, we walked into our room which was lined with rose petals and our bathroom looked like this... It was mind blowing and it felt like we were in the movies!
