Summertime and the living is easy..........

Don't you just love summertime. We've been getting out and about with the boys in these lovely long days and having loads of fun.

Last weekend we headed to the World Jousting Championships (bet you didn't even know that existed!!). It was good fun and we got to see lots of jousting and sword fights and those people who like to get dressed up in character and go along to these things, you know the kind I mean......and of course this then led to a lot of this....
This weekend we headed to the airshow "Wings over Waiarapa", it was great fun loads of brilliant formation flying and staged dog fights, we had a great time.
















The weather has meant lots of lovely days that just have to end with ice-cream.
Adrian has also recently taken up fishing and can be seen most days perfecting his cast and gigging his rig or something like that...:)
Lastly a little ahhh moment for grandma....

Happy New Year

Well our Christmas break is over and it's been a lovely sunny and exciting time. We managed a lot of days out and lots of good fun including our first ever attempt at camping. We went to a brilliant sight by the river with friends and had a fabulous time in the river and generally getting back to nature. The boys absolutely loved it and found the whole thing far too exciting....we really enjoyed the evening when all the kids were asleep and we could sit by the roaring fire with our beer!
Hope you all had a great New Year and that 2009 brings lots of luck and good times for all.
Cute story for the week... Having a mother moment I asked Tom "how many times do I need to ask you to put your shoes on".... he looked at me really seriously and said "7".....well now I know!
