MORNING TEA

Today we met at Leanne's bakery at Lilydale for a scrumptious lunch. She is such a good cook, everything was so yummy.... This is a photo of 'can't be bothered' Mum, 'we're all doomed' Debbie, 'it can wait until tomorrow ' Leanne....and me. (I don't have a nick name, as you can see). It was nice to catch on some of the family and find out what every one is up to.

The bottom photo is of the boys 'bush basher', it was a car given to them to learn to drive. They are doing really well, managing the gears and only running over a few small trees.

Kye on his four wheeler, he is very proud of it and says he manages it very well.

Our Anniversary

For our 22nd wedding anniversary we went to Bridport for the weekend. We took the boys (much to Mick's disgust-being our anniversary and all...) and our motorbikes and headed for the dunes. We all had a great ride, had great weather and great scenery.

September School Holidays

In the school holidays we went to Shearwater for a few days.

THe weather wasn't the best but we had plenty to do. We went

to the bluff for a walk, went bike riding, swimming, played tennis, squash

racquet ball and table tennis. We had a wonderful time.

grass skiing

This is the boy's latest...grass skiing behind the 4 wheeler.

Jake

The top two photos are of Jake following an overnighter. He fell asleep in front of the fire. While he was asleep we drew dots on his face with textas and he never even stirred. He did look funny when he woke up.

The other photos are of his foot. He come off a trampoline at a friends place and sprained his ankle-quite badly. He had to be on crutches for a few days. It hurt like hell.....

Billycart Challenge

The annual billycart challenge is on this weekend. The young men from each ward race each other to find out who is the fastest. Dean, Mick and Steve spent the day working on the billcart.

just general stuff

Hi there everybody. Havnt been doing much different lately. This is just me right now after going for a long walk with the dog. It was a cold windy day. I think I look pretty sexy in my new beany. I just noticed my fingers, i forgot about that. I slipped in the rain and put my hand up to catch myself on the corner of a brick wall. I left it for a week and when it didn't get better i went to the doctor who thinks i have fractured it. she said it is only your little finger, if you were a pianist or something she would have it xrayed. Too bad for my typing heh!! But its true i don't need it that much.

I have no other photo as yet to post.

On Sunday I went to TREC training with Truman my horse at Four Springs Lake. It was windy, it was pouring down, it was cold and muddy. I got drenched, but I had a great time and Tru did great except for a huge buck after we popped over a small jump. Going to have to work on that!! We wasn't the only mad people going in such horrible weather to enjoy our sport. There were some mad fisherman out in the middle of lake and some push bikes riders riding through the bush paths.

Someone from the club was taking pictures of us so I might have some photos later on. TREC is about obstacles. We practiced water obstacles, bridges, poles, jumps, gates, dragging bags, standing alone, etc. Great fun!!

Hope to see what the rest of you are up to!!!

It's about time....

Hey families,
Isn't it about time you added something to the blog. It is only going to work if people add to the site. Let us know what is going on in your lives. It won't take long to add something.....

Our Saturday

The young men and their leaders are having an annual billy cart race in September. So the race is on to make this one the quickest. THis is Dean, Steve and Mick
THis is Arron earning money to buy his bike by washing and polishing Dean's car.

Our creative boys and their friend Sam grass skiing behind the 4 wheeler. Many happy hours spent here.

Jake

Jake was chosen along with another girl to design a 'chair' or politican leader, Peter Gutwein.

The chairs will be auctioned to raise money.

This picture was in Wednesday's Examiner.

BRAD

BRAD BROKE HIS ARM LAST MONTH AFTER COMING OFF HIS ROLLER BLADES.

WE ACTUALLY DIDN'T TAKE HIM TO THE DOCTOR FOR 3 DAYS AFTER THE EVENT, AS HE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH PAIN. IT WAS BROKEN QUITE BADLY AND HAD A PLASTER ON FOR 5 AND HALF WEEKS. IT LOOKS LIKE HE HAS A DALMATION ON HIS ARM. IT WAS HIS FIRST BRAKE, AND IN TOTAL 5 BROKEN ARMS FOR THE BOYS.

LUCKY ARRON

As part of a photographic group Arron was in, he was chosen with 7 others to go up in a helicopter to view St Leonards for a photographic exhibition. The exhibition is on at the Launceston Art Academy at the museum for a couple of weeks if any one is interested in having a look.

Chloe and Keona

Chloe doesn't very often give babies a cuddle, so this was worth a picture. Cute isn' it (both of them)....

Cute Keona the Bunny

This is the most recent picture of my Grand-daughter Keona May Hayes

WE CAN ALL ADD TO THIS PAGE AND CHECK WHAT IS HAPPENING IN EACH OTHER LIVES, IT IS ALL UP TO EACH PERSON.
