Braeden Visit…

Jack’s good mate Braeden came up after the NZ Nationals for a few days to hang with Jackson. He’s a cool kid, we love him to bits and so does Jack. Looking forward to getting him up over summer for some water fun and ski biscuit action!

Go Dylan!

This is the motley crew from Jack’s gym all staying the night to support Dylan at the Olympics for trampolining. He did awesome!

Jack’s 9th Birthday Bash

What a weekend! Jack had a two day birthday party as it also a bit of a going away thing… Good fun with the kids. i-Devices, Laser Strike, Nerf Gun wars, sleepover and a couple of movies and we rented the gym so all the mates and trampolining buddies could play hard out… Even Sarah and I hit the trampolines!

On the way home we had an extreme hailstorm that made it pretty dangerous on the road. Overall it was a packed few days for the kids!

We’ll have to have the mates up to stay for holidays… Anyway, my boy is getting big, super proud of him and can’t wait to see what sort of a man he becomes (but would prefer he stayed small)  😉

Livvy’s Daycare Bash!

Here’s some pics from Livvy’s leaving party that Nette from her daycare put on. She’s a star, going to miss her! Both kids have spent quality time with Nette and she’s just an amazing lady…

Chillaxing on the lawn…

We put a couple of tents up today. Jack has his mate Braeden over for the night and Livvy was just chilling out… Nice sunny day!

Olivia’s First Show

Olivia & Tiger’s first outing was to Courtney A & P Show this morning. What fun! Lovely Lesley lead Tiger and Livvy to victory in the Lead Rein classes. Livvy has come home very rich and with ALL the red ribbons and the Champion ribbon. However, it was slightly disappointing that no one else turned up to compete in their class. 🙂

Mods to Sarah’s Truck

Sarah’s truck is cute but the internal layout needed love. The horses faced the wrong way, was a tight squeeze and there was no access to the front. We tried it with the horses and they got on but it wasn’t pretty with Grace. Mr H is a dude though. So here’s what we’ve done this week.

New dividers and gates thanks to Mustang Floats. New ply on walls, ply stained, 4x outside tie-ups, a new shelf on the door, brackets, hooks and saddle mounts all fitted. Also a new fabricated rug rack. I’ve painted the old blue steel now. Looks good, and we got both the horses up and on there!
