I guys they’re just living up to the family name below…

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!

Sarah’s Amazing Broccoli!

Check out this massive broccoli Sarah grew! I think she’s been sneaking it the fertilizer when I’m not looking! Huge eh!

this is the broc compared to a large dinner plate!

Check out Sarah’s new country cruiser! This should keep her out of trouble! It’s a great condition Mazda 3… Cheap as chips to run!

We’ve sold her old truck. It was a great runner but getting pretty costly with two diesel RUT wagons. Time for a cheapie…

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)…

Livvy going for a ride on Milo…

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)…

At the Aussie Zoo… (Devoe and Jackson)

The beautiful Leonard girls…

“Alice the camel has…”

Watching the big Aussie Zoo show…

Livvie is jealous because Bug has teeth!

Livvie’s first rollercoaster!

Dang! She loves horses!

At Seaworld with the kids. Didn’t get much photos there but we saw some shows and had a great time!

Saying goodbye…

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!

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!

The Winning Team!
