Willowbank

A visit to Uncle Karle resulted in a day out at Willowbank. The boys had a great time with Byron runing around watching all the animals Byron was a laugh at the trout pond he loved those fish Ben had a ball with the eels feeding them from a straw with the jellymeat and mince Sam was Sam and spent the day running around the tracks not really wanting to stop and look at the animals but he had fun and that was the point really. Karle had fun teasing the Chimps that is until it turned and pooed in its hand put it in his mouth then came down from his rooftop looking for us I can tell you we back stepped very fast out of their way although Karle, Fran and I were in fits of laughter. All in all the day was great and we all had a good time.

Je-Anne's New Car

My poor little Toyota was just not cuttin the mustard so on the 3 August she had to be traded in for a new model and hell its definatly a new model I am now the proud owner and driver of a maroon 2000 Holden Vectra CD 2.5 V6. The kids love the car and now want to go in mine instead of Simons this was definatly not the case a week ago when they refused to get into mine unless they absoultly had to little traitors.

Ben Meetes Bridie Carter

So I go out one day in the school holidays (gluton for puinishment) on a shopping trip kids tagging along and while I am looking at clothes Ben yells at the top of his little lungs MUM THERES TESS FROM CLOUDS DAUGHTERS well yes he was correct Bridie was in Ezibuy doin a meet and greet with the public. Ben jumped at teh chance to meet her and have his photo taken so after standing in line for 45mins ben got a great big cuddle and a signed picture of her and also a photo with Bridie. Where was Sam while all this was happening wel he was standing with us constantly asking me where were the rest of the Mcleods guys poor Sam didnt understand that she was promoting ezibuy not Mcleods and well Ben just didnt care cos he likes TESS the Best.

Poor Sam was a bit worried about goin by himself so Mum and Simon had to tag along for a while he ended up havin a great night in the end with his new friends and he thought you would like to see him dressed as a ninja warrior striking his best ninja pose.

Sam and Ben in the Snow

Hi everyone

We have now been in Christchurch just over a month, the boys had a ball playing in the snow a few weeks ago and been spoilt for choice with activities. Sam has had a great time munchin out on Burger King and also all the other choices he has here. Ben did his first flight back to Nelson a couple of weeks ago he had alot of fun flying all by himself.. Poor Benny had the chicken pox a week after we got here so was our spotty little man for a week and a half, luckily Sam had already had them so we escapped the dreaded two boys home. Well we are currently into the second week of school holidays and so far no snow Sam and Ben are not happy about this I cant say I am the same :) .
