Special Community Award

Earlier this year Tim and Jack were given a Junior Neighbourhood Support Award for coming back to school after the earthquake on Feb 22nd to bring food and toys for the children who were waiting to be collected later in the afternoon. Today the lady from neighbourhood support awarded the supreme award for her favourite act of community support this year, at our PRIDE assembly today. Guess who she picked??

Our first visit

We had the privilege of being the first Reece visitors, the photos speak for themselves...

Reece Oliver Currie

Isn't he goregous!

It's a boy!!

We are all so excited and can't wait to hear from the Mum and Dad! Well done Jen, he looks beautiful.

We love water fights!

It was play day at our place this afternoon and the boys had a blast pelting each other with their water guns. It took a wee while to establish the rules of engagement, and occasionally these were not followed, but they were still smiling at the end ... hope the neighbours didn't mind the noise!

Play Station 3

For our birthday Mum and Dad gave us a Play Station 3. We have bought 2 games and we are having a fun time playing on it. The games are Little Big Planet 2 and Sports Champions. On Sports Champions we have unlocked silver cup on Galdiator fighting and on Little Big Planet we have got up to the second stage. It's hard to choose my favourite game.

Kaikoura Weekend

Kaikoura Weekend on PhotoPeach




Just back from a lovely couple of days in Kaikoura. Highlights would have to be, the candlelit bath on the deck (Mum), the Nerf gun fight (all the boys) and seeing the seals so close up. Click on the photos to enlarge them.

And a big thanks from Jack

My birthday highlights were probably playing on my MGP scooter, playing Heroica with Tim and playing on the Play Station 3. Thankyou everyone for the lovely presents and the money that I used to buy the scooter.

Love Jack

A big thanks from Tim

Thanks you for all the lovely presents you have given me for my birthday. I've a lovely time making my models and playing with Heroica. I got a Play Station 3 from Mum and Dad but at the moment Dad is hogging it and he is breaking promises and not letting me have a go!

Love Tim

Mmmmm .. I was concerned about giving Play Station to the boys, hadn't considered the Grant factor, he doesn't respond to a time limit as well as Tim and Jack.
Nicky

Look what Pa did!

Pa worked really hard in Queenstown and this weekend at our place to put up a basketball hoop and backboard on our garage. We love it!

Thanks so much Pa.

Birthday Party

Birthday Party on PhotoPeach



This is our birthday party. First we went to Spencer Park where we had a treasure hunt, ate lots of yummy delicious food and made small rivers inside the sandpit. Next we went over the road to Adrenaline Forest; before we started climbing we had to do the safety briefing, then we raced up the ladder to course one, once we went down the final flying fox, we climbed up the biggest ladder to course 2. When we were all down on the ground again with no harnesses on any more, we went trooping for pine cones on the forest floor. Everybody had a great time.

Concert Time

We are entering concert season. Tim played in the school concert on Wednesday and tomorrow evening he is part of the CSM Showcase Concert. In a couple of weeks, it's the piano concert. All exciting stuff ... go Tim, we are so proud of you!!

Story Time

Every night we have a bedtime story on the couch. Right now it is called 'Mr Gum and the Cherry Tree'. It is a really funny book and we read it on the iPad. We hope you enjoy this wee bit of the story. Mr Gum is a BAD MAN!
