Patrick and Nyah

Alan and Stan came down for two nights while racing Patrick at Wanganui. He came in third and I had a good day out, the only one seam to be collecting (for a change). Nyah finally got up and close to some horses and got a payout on Pat when he came in 3rd. Anton and Alan had a good session and got to bed around 4.30am. Unfortunatly the little white pony did'nt fit in the boot otherwise it would have been home in a shot. A great day out and good to meet stan, he wasn't a figment of Alans imagination after all.

At the beach.

We had a working week at the beach and got alot done. Finished painting the bach and put up a new fence, fixed the back garage door too. It was fantastic weather and perfect at the beach. Connor got in some surfing and dogs got a good run along the beach. It was so relaxing down there we hope to get back near the end of January.

Xmas Eve and Day

Having a few drinks out on the front porch can be hazardous to your health. Ended up on front lawn with friends down the road and it was a real nice way to wait for Santa to arrive. Nana and Grandad made the trip to the big city of Bulls this year and we celebrate with our neighbours and friends. We set up in the garage and of course had too much food and played with the kids xmas pressies all afternoon. Of course Grandad had to downtrow after no points on the board after a round of darts. The girls will never be the same again.

Dudding Lake Day Out

The Ham Toomeys came for a flying visit (literally) and we spent a few hours at a lake just 15mins up the road. You can jet ski, boating, swimming etc. Of course we hogged the pontoon and had a great time. This is everyone striking a pose. From left Mark (Antons brother) his son Luke and Cole. Then Nyah, Shea and Connor. Merrie (Marks Mrs) Anton and I were soaking up the sun and protecting the beers. It was an awesome visit and you are getting old when you start sentences with "gosh you are so big" which I am doing LOADS now.

Thanks heaps guys we had a fantastic time!!!!!!!

Bulls Prizegiving 07

Wow a big night for the kids, each picking up something special. Connor got Board of Trustees Cup for Performing Arts. Shea got elected to House Leader for next year and Nyah picked up the Kiwi Can Shield (out of the whole school) so I was blowen away all night. School leavers got pipped out of the Town Hall.

Less than two weeks after connor is Shea's birthday. She had her best mates around and they enjoyed a day of hanging out. She is now 11.
