We took a drive over to Sumner Beach today to let the kids get some fresh air. Had a good time, here’s a few pics from the day. The kids loved it.

Dad’s Bed Build for Livvy!
I spent a solid day in the workshop last Saturday knocking up a new ‘big girl’ bed for Olivia. Check it out! We’ll move it to her room this week and with a bit of luck she’ll actually sleep in it without getting up!
A day at the Hood!
We took a few families to Lake Hood today for a play on the boat and to let the little kids swim in the lake. Had a blast and we even had a 30 min thunder and lightening storm directly overhead! Sarah got up on the wakeboard and the kids all did the biscuit. Next trip we’ll head to McKenzie country!
A Stoney Christmas!
Here’s a pile of photos from the Stone family Christmas 2013! It was an epic bash and total chaos for a week but in a good way! We had the best time – love them all!
Squirtle!… A great Day at the Hood!
Meet ‘Squirtle’ the new addition to the Stone clan. 30yo, retro ski boat with a beasty motor. We just couldn’t miss the water fun this summer! Christened her on Lake Hood today with a few good friends and had a blast. It goes like snot! All the boys got out on the ski biscuit and I wasn’t able to make Jack fall off!
The clan. Arthur, Isaac, Thomas, Esther, Karolyn, Dean, Charli and Billy!
Jack and the boys trying to figure out how to get the Ski Biscuit going…
Livvy’s good mate Charli..
And this is what happened to Jack when he slipped climbing on! Good effort eh!
He got home, read one page and fell asleep. Mush have been a good day!
Dad’s crack at 100kg…
Getting a little stronger these days thanks to an awesome trainer in Rolleston, CHCH. I want to get comfortable at the 100kg mark, then start doing a little more cardio. Here’s my first crack at a 100kg (220lb) benchpress and a couple at 90kg. Technique is a little dodgy but I’ll sort that. Should be able to do a clean lift next week or two 
Here’s the 100kg attempt…
And a few 90kg lifts…
The Stone Men’s Selfie…
Interesting comparison. What a difference 34 years makes!! He’s on his way and should grow up big and strong like Dad! Funny eh…
Dad’s big lift…
Getting there! Pushed 10kg higher to a few reps at 90kg today! that’s two Jacksons on each arm! Feeling pretty fit at 40, but want to push to 100kg in the next month or so… Not too bad considering I started 6 months ago and could hardly lift 40kg!
20kg bar + 70kg weights! Not bad for an oldie!
Day at the Derby!
When we saw an ad in the paper for a ‘Combine Harvester Demolition Derby’ we just had to go!! It was just a great day out with the kids. They totally loved it!
Julian’s 40th bash!
Some random photos from my 40th today. Was a great day, perfect weather, good friends and heaps of fun. The kids had a ball! Nice to have the Pakuranga Stones visit and looking forward to seeing the Howick Stones at Christmas!
