The boys..Randy, Clayton, Pat, Scott & Stan.



Lots of Love!!!

Get To Know You

One of the first events at school is the "Get to know you Braai". We had Aiden's this past weekend and it was a great time. We had hot dogs and the kids played.It is a great time to get to know other parents, especially the new ones to school. Then as the evening went on there was a father-daughter/ mother-son dance. Of course, I couldn't get Aiden anywhere near the dance. We also went on a torch (flashlight) walk around the school property.. the kids had a ball doing that. The evening was a great success...

Bikers.....

Here biking is quite a big sport. We know lots of people that bike on a regular basis and love it. There was a race that most of them rode in and we went out to cheer them on! (won't catch me on a bike!!!) The boys had a great time cheering for everyone and looking for people we knew. We are very proud of all our friends who participated! Congrats!

Aiden's Birthday Pary

Aiden had a great party on Friday with all of his friends! There were 30 kids at the party and they all had a great time. We had the party at the Cricket Academy.. they supply two coaches and you choose between cricket and soccer. Aiden chose soccer and the kids were taken out to the field and played and played and played! It was a great time. I also brought along beads for some of the girls. Aiden loves sports and playing with his friends so he was in heaven! Even though it was a soccer party, Aiden asked for a snake cake.. so mommy complied... Enjoy the pics!

Aiden is 6!!!

Last week Aiden turned 6! He took in cupcakes to school. At school each student draws and colors a picture for the birthday child and the teacher makes a cover for the book, as well as makes a crown. It is very fun. Then of course he wanted a snake cake for his party (which is this Friday) so I thought I would do a miniature version for his actual birthday and practise.. I think it turned out pretty good. He is such a big boy!

Look for more on the big boys birthday... his soccer, snake party is on Friday! Yeah!

First Day of School 2010

So the boys started their first day of school here on Jan 19th! Aiden has moved up to the "Lion" class and is in Grade R which is equivalent to Kindergarten. And Evan has moved into the "Zebra" class. They both love school already! Now it is back to the routine with lunches, and sports after school. This term the boys are involved as usual. They are both taking music at school, swimming lessons and now Karate. Aiden is still doing golf lessons and Evan may do a ball skills class at school. Yes they have a full plate but it is fun and it keeps them busy. Happy 2010!

Boys ready to head to school!! Decked out with their new SA Springbok Rugby backpacks.

They have had a great first week. And this week will be just as great! Aiden is turnig 6! WOW! Lots of fun coming up....

A new year...

Well I know I am behind! But we have been quite busy the first month of the year. The boys were still off school until the 19th so we had lots of time to hang out and have fun. We met with friends, had a few jammie days, did some arts and crafts and tried to reorganize the house... fun fun fun! Ok so maybe the last one doesn't sound like much fun but a necessity and still a work in progress!

Here are a couple of pics of the boys painting their own race cars...
