Here’s a cool pic of Jackson riding Kate’s new pony. He looks like a natural!

Jack went to Chipmunks for a birthday lunch with one of his mates. Had a great time and ate lots of junk food.

Below, we visited the Hodges and he tried on Fergs gumboots and hat. Looks like a farmer dude now!

I was lucky and blessed enough to be given the opportunity to go tramping with Gavin and some old mates on the Milford Track in Fiordland in Jan.

I went with Gavin, Darren, Gareth, Leigh, Simon and Annette. Awesome bunch of people who have all played a part in my life at some point. It was a great trip, and although the legs are a little sore, I’m glad I made the effort. Looking forward to another trip again in the near future!

It just drove home to me that life is too short to pass up opportunities and we need to get out there and experience things while we can!

Here’s some pics!

Jack and his two biker babes getting ready to cruise the mean streets of West Melton. Nice to see Jack starting young on the bikes!

While getting a new front tyre on the motorbike at the Suzuki shop, I chatted with the guy doing the sausage sizzle and it turned out he was the Pastor of the Linwood Salvation Army.

He told me they were having a ‘Big Boys Toys’ day so the next weekend, Jack and I trotted off to the church. Awesome service and lots of toys!

Below is Jack standing by the famous Brittan bike. Andrew Stroud the famous superbike rider gave a great speech!

Look who I bumped into! Graeme and Anne Evans! They look such a cool couple of bikers on the Beamer!

It took Jackson about 30 secs to find my model bike (Suzuki Katana).

They had decorated the Church with all sorts of cool toys. Bikes, Kayaks, Kites, Scooters etc…

Jack found the cool cars…

Then he spotted a plane so crawled up inside.

He loved the tank though. When he climbed in it I could hardly get him out! He kept asking if I could take it home.  That’s my boy!

Jack grooving on the RSA dance floor.

Emily and Abigail just love Jackso

Dad showing Jackson the RSA shields on the wall.

We visited the Dobbs in Hamilton. Had a good catchup.

The two pranksters hanging out – Jack and Zach.

We also visited Gran, Poppa and Shirley. He’s loves them all!

Uncle Gary is awesome with Jack They have good rumbles!

We had a good spell in the weather so I took Graham Evans up to Lake Coleridge for the day. We saw fish on the finder but couldn’t get them to hook up. Was like glass on the water all day though – love it when it’s like that…

What a dude. Cruising the mean streets with the top down in his convertible classic car. Sweet girl at his side. What more could a 3 y/o want!

We had a great time at Momorangi beach. Lots of swims!

We visited Lake Rotoiti for a couple of nights. This is our awesome holiday home. They upgraded us to the owners house 

The crazy family…

This is just Jack and I hanging, playing some music on the old gramophone. It’s cool, you just have to keep winding the handle heaps.

Jack just hanging around…

We took Richard and Amy to Lake Hood for a play on the boats. Had a great time until the exhaust fell off one of the Kayaks! Better fix that this weekend!
