Well unbelieveably our Cale has turned 7.

Such a tiny little person, has grown into a strong, creative & adventurous boy who we are super proud of.

We celebrated his day by going bowling with the extended family & the bounced our way through his Star Wars party!

Aldinga Sharks U8′s footy presentation day was also over the same weekend. We have had a fantastic year at the club & are looking forward to being involved in the club again next season.

Team Sport is an Amazing involvement. By the end of the season Cale had lost a little of his spark, but was still willing to give 100% out on the feild & support his team mates which it has been rewarding to watch his confidence grow.  As for Kai he started the season crying cause he didn’t get the ball but now he is always trying to be first on the bottom of the pack & has no worries giving the bigger guys a nudge.

On Sunday August 1st, a small congregation gathered at the Christ Church to attend Cale, Kai & Kaysha’s Baptism.

It was a wonderful service, which allowed us to share a very special time with some very special people.

Not regular religous people, I am glad that the day all came together & that now in the eyes of God, my children have “official” guides for life.

To all the wonderful families who opened their house and let us stay whilst on our trip to Victoria and very big thank you from US, your cheques are in the mail……and to everyone who had dinner or just a quick drop in thanks to you too x

We had a spectacular time away and those times wouldnt have been so special if we couldn’t spent them with you.

Thanks also to Jenny, Sarge, Boonie, Jeremy & Jess for allowing Baz to indulge himself and cook up one of the best Curry nights which we hope you all enjoyed. x.

A few more of our favourite pic’s are to follow –

Having stay at Dan & Kats and then at Pood & Tracey’s, it was time for use to head to Melbourne for our next adventure…

A trip to the Melborne markets got us all decked out in new Richmond Tigers gear to support our team at Etihad Stadium later that night and then to the Movida resturant to check out some masterchef recipes (but it was closed), so we headed down Little Bourke St to China town for YUM CHA. Never had service so quick and food that was so simple but tasted so delicous.

After lunch we made it to our motel for as swim and a relax before heading to the game! Etihad staduim rocked, loved the atmosphere and the passion of the live game – especially seeing we one!!

We are finally feeling more comfortable with Melbourne and the layout, so the next day we headed out to South Wharf for some DFO shopping before hitting the road to Bright!

And what a lovely drive to Bright it was, kids where tired and slept most of the way so just me a Bazza with Florence and the Machine…. nothing could have been better, oh but the beer at the end of the day topped it off nicely.

News of not much snow at Mt Hotham was alittle dissapointing, but we made the most of what we had and had a abosolute ball! So special to watch our little people be so amazed by such a small but lush covering of snow, Kaysha didn’t worry about the cold, and was well hydrated once she realised she could eat the white snow!

The boys used Bazza’s snow board as a toboggan and spent their time walking up and riding down the snow like pros, we made snow men, had snow ball fights, Kai played “Snow Adventurer”, Cale had a quick lesson on standing on the snow board and then we all enjoyed a nice warm lunch on the mountain before peelin of our wet gear and heading back to Ararat.
