Oh that’s right, we bought a fabulous house, one street back from my mans favourite surf spot.

We have celebrated Christmas, our wedding anniversary and birthdays in our new house (with a pool) and hosted numerous get together’s with friends and family….

Bazza is working his dream job, I have picked up casual work too, that kids changed schools and Kaysha now happily attends childcare regulary.

We still have Dozer the blue heeler, 2 black chooks, some fish and a turtle.

We spend days at the beach even when its raining, the boys enjoy Nippers at life saving during summer months and AFL and Moto x during the winter months.

Baz surfs and SUP’s often, and takes the bike for a spin as much as possible, is a super hands on dad

Me, I involve myself with all the boys sports, find little pretty’s to share with my daughter, bake, smile and listen and plan for our family.

This all sounds corny, sugar coated and my close friends will laugh at the lack of my usual sarcasm……but i’ll leave my gripes for another day and honestly life is good xx

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.

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.

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 –

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.

This year we are living in Adelaide and made the trip back to Stawell to visit our friends.

It was lovely to spend the day with all those special people that touched our lives whilst living in Victoria for those two years.

Kaysha learnt many new names – At (kat) – Nan (dan) – Nash, Pood, Sarge & Nenni (jenny)

Sincere thank you to wonderful Trae who put together another gorgeous birthday cake creation for our little girl. x .

Cale and Kai got meet with KTM Riders, Toby Price, Ben Grabo and Jeremy Bewley.

Bazza got in 5 laps this year, one better then last year. Dan had to retire after 3 laps due to bike issues.

Once we got back to Stawell we spent a day with Dan and the O’Callaghans out at our old property PIT Bike racin.

Kaysha was a natural and it was great to see the kids ride until it was time to go……

It was lovely to relax and enjoy cups of tea, walks around my birthtown and  not have to lift a finger at all!

We celebrated with his Kinda mates in our transformed lounge room……

We had a great time with all the mini Bumble Bees and Optimus Primes

Special Thanks to all the Big Kids that made the effort to travel down and or call over during the day, we love having you here to enjoy these special times xx

PS. Kai will be finishing off this term and term 3 at Kindy and then will start School in Term 4! WOO HOO!

Although our team didn’t win they all do a fantastic job, even Kai who got a quater today

We then raced home and loaded the Motobikes into the car and headed out for Cale to have some practise at South Coast, the weather held out so Cale rode almost 2 hours non stop!
