Annie's 1st gymnastic competition

Annie was learning gymnastic last year so she was able to compete in a fun beginners comp. Annie really enjoyed herself but was not in a rush to compete again as she is NOT a competitive person and found the experience quite nerve wrecking.

At the end of the day all children were presented with a cerificate and a ribbon.

north zone

Last year, Matt was chosen to play for the Under 9's North Zone team. This is the first age group for representative soccer and a carnival was played at Ipswich with all the surrounding distiricts in South East Queensland. Matthew's team did very well and came 2nd overall.

Matt was one of only three players who played every minute of every game in his team. Needless to say that by the end of the carnival we had one very tired boy.

Matt's first BIG carnival

Matt has competed in his first BIG carnival - that is the Yrs 4-6 carnival at school. Matt was quite nervous at the start of the day but finished off very strong. He came 5th in high jump and 2nd in long jump!! therefore Matt was able to go to the CSSA carnival to represent school in the long jump.

Disney On Ice

For Annie's birthday she received a ticket for Disney On Ice, so we may a girls day of it. The girls absolutely loved watched the dancing and were mesmorised from start to finish. I don't know what they loved more, the Cars characters driving on the ice or Tinkerbell ice dancing. It was such a great day with lots of happy memories. The girls also came home with a special Tinkerbell cup thanks to Noonie.

Birthday Boy Benjamin

Our Benjamin has turned 8!! WOW, WOW,WOW is all I can say. Time flies when you are having fun. We are truly been blessed to have this special boy in our lives. He keeps us smiling and laughing all day, every day. I especially love the things BJ says, for example when we were shopping one day he stopped in the middle of the shopping centre and asked himself aloud, "Am I wearing undies today?" He then proceeded to check and reassured himself that yes indeed he remembered to put undies on. As you can interrupt from this story, my 8 year old can still forget to put undies on!! This is only one of the many stories we have about BJ and the things he says.
