Jackson - My famous son!

Jack and some other Selwyn Toddlers went to the Royal NZ Show. They had a great time, and managed to get snapped for the Selwyn Times. Check it out!

Mums Memorial Day

We had mum's memorial today for all the Christchurch friends and family. Was a great event and good to catch up...

Family Fishing Trip to Coleridge

We woke up today and the weather looked just perfect for a wee backcountry jaunt. So I told the family "We're going!", we packed the boat and took off to Lake Coleridge.

It was the first time that only Sarah, Jackson and I had put the boat in with just us. The wind was fairly non-existant, and it was a great morning. We got the boat in ok and took off around the lake. After a bit of sightseeing, I showed Sarah how to troll for trout.

We saw fish and they weren't biting, so scooted back to the South side of Ryton Bay and Sarah took over as Skipper. She drove the boat and kept us over the fish. We hooked up! I landed a small (but very eatable) salmon.

It was great to be with Sarah and Jackson when I caught the fish - and even better because Jackson now knows what fishing is! A great day was had by all!

Jack's Bed Boat is finished! Awesome!

Finally, the bed is done, however we're nervous about putting him in it - he'll never sleep!! But whatdaya reckon? 10/10 for effort? What a great dad!

Grandad came to visit!

Grandad popped down for a few days recently. He decided to take the kids for a ride on the Rideon Mower...
