Squirting my lad!

We found a nice spot on the river for lunch and a swim ;-)  ratbag1 

Jack having too much fun in the water and looking cheeky… I think he needs some water pistol action.

Fly fishing the Hurunui

I took Sarah and Jack to the Hurunui river for a nice family day out. We all did some fishing, Jack had a swim and it was a great day. Sarah also got a chance to try her new pink fishing rod.

Just a few nice shots Sarah took of Jack. He’s such a happy kid…

Christmas Day!

Christmas day at the Stones was pretty cruisy. Jack got a heap of prezzies, we had a nice breakfast, lunch at the Vivs, afternoon at Leslies and dinner at the Hodges! Missed the Auckland family but still a nice day.

Awesome Christmas Lunch at the Viv’s

We had Christmas lunch at the Viv’s this year. Was a great time, good company, good food and the kids had a blast! Here’s Jack showing Ella how to use the Slip-n-Slide!

Daycare Christmas Play!

Jack’s Daycare (Selwyn Toddlers) put on the annual Christmas play. Jack did his bit, until he spotted us – then needed a cuddle  😉

A great day flyfishing on the Opihi river!

I spent Friday fishing the Opihi river with Karl, an industry mate and another creative. Was a great day, we saw a large number of fish. Karl landed a few and I had plenty chase the fly. The water was crystal clear and very little wind. I need to do this more often!
