Ben Fractures his arm

So the little toughy who knows best hasnt listened to mine, Simons or the teachers advice and was wrestling with his little friends at school cos they were bored while watching a visiting team play cricket. Anyway they piled on top of Ben and one kid who was a bit bigger fell off the pile and landed on bennys arm well needless to say Ben was trucked off to the medical clinic and had fractured his elbow. He thought it was great he was wounded and so did the kids in the class when Ben went to school two days later with a sling on his arm 4 weeks later we were back to normal which was good cos poor Ben hadnt realised that while it was fun being the favourite in the class, life is pretty bloody boring when ya cant do anything and what made it even worse he had only had his new bike for a couple of days before it happened

Greymouth trip

So Me and the Boys packed up on the spur of the moment labour weekend and took off on a road trip to Greymouth what fun we had the music pumpin in the car the boys playing car road games and Nana LaLa leaving from Nelson to meet us in greymouth None of us knew what the weekend would bring. We arrived there and met up with Nana and went to where we were staying the kids loved it we were right on the beach the only downfall RAIN but whats new on the coast. We spent the arvo chillin out visiting people Sam thought it was funny that these people knew him but he didnt know them and Ben well he couldnt understand why they knew Sam but not him I gave up tryin to explain after about a dozen goes. The next day was Street racing time and both boys not ever having been to one were not keen they both thought oh boring but I can tell you after 5 seconds they were hooked Ben was so funny yelling and getting excited and I swear Sams eyes were poppin out of his head. Needless to say it was trouble takin them away but we had to go back to CHCH bloody work grr. The promise of going next year and also with a 90% chance that Grandad Bob and his bike will be racing next year helped. We are all looking foward to seeing Bob in the races.

Sams 9th Birthday

Hi Mike sorry its taken so long HEHE

Well yes its been ages and so much has happened firstly we had Sam wake up very excited and looking foward to his day ahead. He was greeted to a lounge full of pressies and we were greeted with a yippee wahoo wow. Sam stared ripping into his pressies which were everything from new ps2 games to art stuff and of course thanks to Nana LaLa and Grandad Bob a brand new bike which Sam thought was the bestest cos it has got trick bars on it. After making a mess with all the paper Sam donned his new helmet and jumped on for a ride up the driveway to show off his new bike to the neighbours. I can tell you since then while he has beed trying to do tricks we have had lots of grazed knees, elbows, hands and chins and even a black eye which sam was most proud of I on the other hand was horrified as he tried to strangle himself with the handlebars in the process.

After a while Sams mate turned up and off we went for Sams idea of a party lunch at Burger king a play at time zone and then the bestest of all a race at indy cars Sam had been waiting for this day since we moved down. What a laugh Sam started off slow but soon picked up the pace and the little toad side swiped another of the lads there and the poor kid ended up on his side against the wall. I think we have a boy racer in the making watch out V8 Supercars here comes Sam McVicar. He was very proud of himself when he came off the track and didnt shut up for hours about it. He had a ball and that was the main thing. Whats next year gonna bring??
