Jack and Dad in Auckland

Jack the muscleman climbing Mt Wellington… He’s looking strong and happy. Love it! We were up for the ProWorkflow Christmas party and the rock climbing was a blast. We followed that up with a slap up meal at Casablanca (Mediterranean food).

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)  😉

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!

Fireworks with the kids

Last night we took the kids to the Rolleston Fireworks, Here’s a few pics… Livvy thought she’d be scared but was totally fine and really enjoyed it all.

Fun day with family

We had a free day today so visited Gran and Poppa, then took the kids to Jump to play on the trampolines. Later on, it was a nice family dinner.
