The goofball kids!

Check out these vids of Olivia and Jack playing rough and tumble! I love seeing these two just playing and being total gooses… I think Jack is starting to really enjoy his sister and she totally adores him.

Olivia is walking!

Not bad for around 10 months! She’s trying to walk heaps at the mo! It’s sooooo cute! Go Livvy!

Visit to Akaroa…

We took off for a drive with the kids to Pigeon Bay but Livvy had other ideas. She did a full on car sick power chuck in Sarah’s new car.

With no spare clothes, we detoured to Akaroa and got a cheap shirt and pants. Had fish and chips, walked around in the blustery wind, checked out the lighthouse and drove home. Was a nice day!

Christmas at the Stones!

Jane, Simon, Zach and Jed came down for Christmas this year (and New Years). We loved hanging out with them and the kids had a blast (when not killing each other.

Here’s a few pics (and some of the new pony, Milo)…

Olivia’s first stand!

Man, she only just learnt to crawl about 4 weeks ago and she’s already trying to stand! At this rate she’ll be walking by Christmas!

The Stones take on Australia!

I’ve put some photos below from our recent trip to Australia (Brisbane/Gold Coast). We popped over for the week to see Sarah’s sister Jess, Lee and Mel, Leeanne and do the fun parks!

The kids were all great and a great time was had by all!

Here’s my man-wagon (shopping cart)…

Xmas spirit has arrived at the Stones!

I think Jackson has somehow hold hold of Sarah’s Christmas spirit! They’re all in there madly decorating the tree! And it’s only November!

And she’s off!

Olivia only just started crawling about 2 weeks ago and she’s already trying to stand up all the time! Man! I’m going to need to do some serious babyproofing around this place!

Stone’s adventure walk at Glentui Bush!

We all took a nice family walk today. We’re heading to Aussie soon for a holiday and wanted to try out the new baby backpack. Works like a charm! She didn’t fall out so that’s good! I think the walk was about 3-4km up some fairly steep tracks. Much fun!
