Rub a dub dude (and dudette)!

Jackson hanging with mates (Ella and Grace) in the tub. I’m sure Ben and Rose would approve if we worked on a 20year plan to get Ella and Jack together!


Rose and Ella’s birthday bash!

We had a great day today at Rose and Ella’s birthday bash. Heaps of kids there, was a cool bunch of people!

Welcome Baby Samuel Dobbs!

Our good friends Jess and Peter Dobbs recently bought a new baby into the world. Samuel Ryan Dobbs was born wieghing 8lb 1oz pounds on the 26th Feb, 2008 to overjoyed parents 🙂 Welcome to the world Samuel! Your brother Timothy, your puppy Flynn, Darren and Kates boy Jayden and our wee lad Jackson will make sure you’ve always got a playmate as you grow!
Here’s some photos of the new blessing…

Hanging with Mates on the Lake!

We took off this day for a day on Lake Hood with Ben, Rose, Ella and baby Grace. Fantastic day had by all! I think we had the oldest boat on the lake but was still fun – it’s a speedy wee thing…

Ella and Jack Hanging Out

Don’t these two look like a cute couple?

Welcome Baby Grace!

Our friends Ben and Rose (and Ella) just had an awesome Christmas present. A wee baby girl they called Grace Melissa Vivian. She’s a cutie and just chilling at the mo as she gets used to being in the world. Welcome baby Grace!

Auckland trip. We visit the the Leonards ;-)

Jes (Devoe’s mum) on the left looking beautiful and her mum (Shirley) and Devoe on the right. Was great to catch up with the family!

Devoe and her pink friend 😉

Jack got a prezzie – a Rideon Truck. Before he opened it, he started making car noises (Raspberries) – He’s such a boy!

MMMMM… Chocolate! Gimmee!!

We went over to Cornwall park and caught up with Sarah Perry, an old friend of Sarahs… Great to meet her son Alex… Take a look at Jack’s expression. To this day I can’t figure it out? Wonder what he’s thinking?

Ben the legend!

We popped down to Lake Hood for a wakeboard. Heres Ben taking a jump, then a dive! Great fun til the engine conked out…

The cuzzy-bro’s chilling out!


Well… these two ratbags definately look like ‘Stones’! This is Jackson (Jack) on the left and Zach on the right. My brother Simon and his better half Jane paid a visit for a few days. It was great to spent time and catch up as well as introduce the boys to each other. I’m sure they’re going to have heaps of fun together when they get a little bigger… 😉

A nice family visit!


Sarah’s dad (Scott) and Shona paid us a visit. Despite the cold, they had a great time and met the Grandson.
