To hot to work! I'm off fishing!

I started back at work today. Got bored, looked at the lack of wind and decided to head out fishing. I called Graeme Evans (mate of my dads) and took off with him to Lake Coleridge for the day. It was about 30 degrees and the water was like glass. Plenty of fish in the lake but they weren't very obliging! However, he caught this nice Salmon...



Oh! and this little one below. He went back though as he was too small.



This is the general condition of the lake...



Glas, glass, and more glass! We had a great day!

Christmas at the Stones!

We were woken up this morning at 6:30am by a Christmas call from Sarah's sister Jess. It was great to hear from her. Seeing as we were up, we went and woke up Jackson. He was excited when we gave him a Christmas bag filled with pressies!
All of us sat on the bed and opened them! I think he was overwhelmed!


Here's the tree with a big pile of pressies under it. Christmas is fun when you have a kid!


Jack checking out the boat Dad built him in the workshop. The trailer attaches to his trike so he can tow it around.


Mum and son hanging out. Jack's sitting on mum's new sunlounger. Hopefully we'll get some sun so she can relax!


Jackson's backside... :-)


Another bath toy - yup! it's the famous BP inflatable boat!


Sarah has been saying that she wants to try some Dressage to music, so I built her a 4WD paddock stereo. This is super rugged, but will be able to blast so loud that both her and the horse will hear it down the paddock. I think Sarah wants to get the horse dancing to trendy modern music ;-)

Mum turned on some cool music whilst at the house and Jackson decided to have a groove!




Want a pressie anyone?


Even a horse (Luke) got in on the act!


After feeding horses their 'Reindeer Nuts' this is Jack wandering back to the house with Pooh under his arm for a Gingerbread boat (Yes, I built a boat shaped biscuit cutter!)

Groovy Jack!

Just Mum and Jackson having a groove to the music on the stereo I built them last week, I think he's starting to get the hang of dancing!

Ferg and Nathan's maiden adventure on their boat.

Ferg and Nathan took their boat down to Lake Hood for their maiden ride after restoring it to lovely condition. It went well!

Jacksons Birthday Party!

The crew came over today to celebrate Jackson's second birthday! Plenty of sugar for all the kids meant that they all had a good time! Jack had a few meltdowns but he got through it! The people that visited were: Liz & Ferg, Jess & Pete (with Tim and Sam), Ben & Rose (with Ella and Grace) and Lesley...

My Silly son ;-)

I took these photos the other day of Jack being silly at the Daycare's Christmas play. I love him - even when he's a twit ;-)

Jacksons Birthday cake!

This is the awesome cake Sarah (Mum) made for jack's 2n'd birthday. She did a great job! Can't wait to see what the kids are like on the sugar!

Jackson's End of year play

We had the daycare's end of year Christmas play last weekend. Unfortunately Jackson didn't go in the play and got stage fright. All his mates did a great job though!

Now this is dedication!

Jack is so keen he wanted to pull the boat out of the shed himself. Must love the boating heaps eh!!
