Latest Happenings

We had our annual trip to Melbourne on Anzac Day to watch the Collingwood & Essendon match. It was a thriller with some controversy over Rocca's shove in the back?? We are still consoling Pa at Collingwood's loss. Pa reading all the statistics & Jason checking out the crowd. Spotty doing a spot of burning over the road.

Ma ma checking out Bella's pups. They have all gone to new homes. Hope that they have fun with the little fellas.

Young Jack having a tub in amongst all those bubbles.

Pa & Matt putting the finishing touches to the air seeder. A new small seeds box installed along with new tubes.



All set to feed the sheep. Tarks & Spud on top to make sure it is all done correctly.

Easter in Echuca

We decided to spend Easter with Nathan, Julz & Lexie in Echuca. Their 1st Easter in a new town & it was a good enough excuse to go visit again. Lou, Steve & Toby come up as well. Matt stayed at home to look after the farm & do some more painting. Kara & Jack were holidaying in Qld with the Olsen Family.

Pa was the 1st port of call in the mornings for a story & a chat!

Come on Jas, this is how it is done!! Brekkie time.

Toby & Aunty Lou having some 'tummy time' in Lexie's play room

Who is the easter bunny?

Lexie looking over her stash!

Gemma had eggs hiding in her pram & Miss Lexie found them all. Quite a stash she ended up with in her bucket.

Gotta have the family photo!!

Hanging together on the kiddie couch. Love them stripes!!

A lazy picnic lunch by the Murray to end a wonderful weekend.

Thanks Julz, Nat & Lexie for a great time.

Moving House

As you would be aware from Nathan & Julz blog that they have moved from Toowoomba Qld to Echuca in good old Victoria, so Ma ma & Pa thought that it was too good an opportunity to welcome them back into Vic by going to help them get settled into their new home.
Lots of boxes to unpack & finding a home for everything was a challenge but good fun.

Thanks Nathan & Julz for a great weekend.

A 'dishwasher" now how does it work? (you would think an engineer would know, huh?)

Couldn't keep Pop (Wal) out of the garden for long. Just loves his dirt!

Even had time for some father & son moments!


Lexie doing what she does best, helping to unpack & finding a good use for her dad's boxers.

AND the 2nd most important family member is happy with his new home & yard. He has even checked out the neighbourhood & found his way home. Welcome to Victoria Tyson!

Bella and her babes

Bella gave birth to 8 gorgeous little pups about 2 weeks ago. She decided to have them over in the woolshed in amongst the wool. A good place on these chilly autumn nights. They are developing their own little characters now that they have their eyes open & discovering what this world has to offer. Fun times ahead. Bella's breautiful brood. 8 of them

Belle is making sure that I look after them. They keep getting out of their box just so they can play with me.

Really I'm helping dad, but this little one keeps getting in the way!
See the broom behind me I'm doin my bit.

Bowls Anyone?

Friday evening the Ladies Fellowship group had a night at the bowling green. Ma ma, Pa, Matt, Kara, Jack, Jason & Warren went in for a night of fun. It hasn't convinced us to take it up as a Sat avo sport. Not old enought yet!!

Matt demonstrating his technique and or style

Pa & Darren having a discussion on who's is the closest, with Warren not sure as to who is kidding who?

Jason got into the swing of it as well, sending down some good bowls.

Ma ma's list of jobs

Pa had some time to spare so Ma ma made sure he put it to good use!

Pa oiling the outdoor setting. It looks fantastic & takes pride of place in the patio.

Pa & Matt also got the house & rumpus room jacked up & level again. The doors now shut!!

Jack & Toby

Our two little chaps came to visit the other Sunday.

OK, enough chatter, come on Ma ma where's the food? I'm starving!! These fingers just don't cut it anymore!

Toby is having some quality time with Pa & taking in the chit chat on the recent happenings.
