Every year Toby lights up the house for Christmas. So here's some photos from this year. The train and the reindeer are this years new additions. I can see the house about 5kms away when I come home from work at night.

Canterbury Athletics

Tiffany got into the Canterbury Athletics this year for 50m sprints. She didn't get past the heats but we are very proud that she got into Canterbury.

Lambs

We got lambs this week. Pete (ex grasslands employee) has been going to give a lambs for the last fortnight. The girls have been asking everyday when they would be arriving. So when Tiffany went to a friends place to play on Saturday and her mother offered us two lambs, we said yes please. So we got two ewe lambs on Monday. They are named Charlotte and Miley. Then Pete arrives on Tuesday with two ram lambs. So we now have four lambs. Tiffany has got Charlotte and Shane. And Elise has got Miley and the ram lamb is yet to be named. Tiffany thinks we should call it 'Main' as in main course, which makes Elise a tad bit grumpy.

Here are some pictures of Tiffany's netball game this weekend. They played Kirwee. This is the third time they have played them. The first time they lost 12-0, the second lost 6-4 and this time they lost again 8-7. Just shows how much they have improved over time. Hopefully only a couple of weekends left. The girls don't have set positions, as that's the point of future ferns, is to have a go at every position. Tiffany seems to like the GK or GD positions. Although she does well anywhere.

Miss Ella Burnett

Latest addition for my brother Craig. Wee Ella was born on Saturday 5th July just before 1pm, weighing just under 7lbs. Mum (Mel), proud Dad, extremely proud big sister (Kaylee)and gorgeous Baby all doing well. The Grandparents are going up this week for a cuddle, so hopefully I will have some more photos after this weekend.

I went to the Rugby On Saturday

I went to the All Blacks playing England on Saturday night. Awesome game. I took Mum and Maria. Richie came off with an injury in the 23rd minute. All Blacks won 44-12.

Elise's new Cast and first tooth

Elise's new cast. It's already been covered in signatures. And today she came home from school with a very wiggly tooth. So she pulled it out. First one. The two adult teeth have been behind them for about two months now. Hopefully the tooth fairy comes tonight.

Here are some photos of Toby's Hunting trip from this weekend. Evan and him went for their annual trip. They go up the top of Lake Tekapo. Toby shot a couple of Tar. He brought one of the heads home. Beautiful scenery. You can see Lake Tekapo and the Mt John Observatory.

Hi All.

This is my first blog!

Thought I would start of with some recent photos of Elise. She fractured her arm about a week ago. Got pushed off the fort at school. We've got another three weeks in plaster. She got a different coloured one (blue) on Monday. She's been really good considering. I will take another photo of her with her coloured one on.
