This morning I was on breakfast duty. Belinda had picked up some bacon, eggs and pancake mix yesterday, and I was in charge of ensuring we didn’t end up at McDonalds for breakfast. After a few minutes trying to work out the stove top, I was underway. The kids enjoyed the freedom of being able to travel the elevator from floor to floor, to visit Grandma or Uncle Brad and Aunty Kellie. So I sent them to collect a second…
Today was a day with some mixed emotions but also some consolation in knowing that we now have a place to go to remember Nan. Boyne Island has always had a special place in my heart. Although I have many fond memories of Nan and Pop, the best memories I have, are here in Boyne Island. We started our day with the kids roller blading around Turtle way. I may have made a wrong turn which almost ended with an…
We are off on our first holiday for 2020, since the whole corona virus pandemic started, and are all very grateful for the break. After an early start, and breaky in the car, we stopped at Kilcoy for a small break before heading straight onto Bellingham Maze. Bellingham Maze was relatively easy to find, although some of the current road works had us doing a few loops. When we got there we were greeted with a pretty aMAZEing entrance. After…
Christmas day has finally arrived! Saying that, this year feels like it has gone so quickly. I started my 3 weeks of holidays on Saturday, so it has been great to relax for a few days before getting into the Christmas activities. On Christmas morning we were woken up at 1.30am by Emma, then again at 2.30am, 3.00am and finally gave in at 5.00am to open up some presents. After the kids opened their presents, we thought why not go…

Today Ben turned 8! We didn’t get to celebrate his birthday on his birthday again this year, but still had a blast. Brad, Kellie and Marshall came up for the party, as well as Kate and the girls. It was good to see everyone having heaps of fun with the Ninja Turtle banner making all moves and expressions. We hope you had a great birthday and it was totally tubular dude! Love alwaysDad
Today Ben had his 6th birthday. Ben is growing up so fast! I can remember holding him when he was first born and thinking how small he was. We had everyone over to celebrate Ben’s birthday. Belinda made an awesome multi-layered rainbow cake, which didn’t last very long! After we sang happy birthday and ate some cake we setup the jumping castle, with a bit of a twist. I rigged up the tarp and some poles to make a shade;…
It is hard to believe how quickly life passes us by. A good realisation of this is having children and watching them grow. Today is Ben’s 5th birthday. We were fortunate to have Ben this year on his actual birthday, so we decided to head down to the park to celebrate. We were joined by Grandma, Grandad, Uncle Brad and Aunty Kellie. Ben was quick to test out his new bike and show everyone just how good he could ride…
