Happy 1st Birthday Riley!

Ok, ok

Pre-School Christmas Concert

Lewis had his Christmas concert on Tuesday night - his group sang Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer (Lewis did not open his mouth or do any movements - apparently too shy)

This is all of the Pre-School'ers (Lewis is on the left with the red shirt on)

This is Lewis collecting his 'Pre-School Diploma'

I will post some more pics later.

Family Photos

We had family pics taken today - here is one of the boys.

Home Sweet Home

Hi, I am home! Got home on Wednesday. Ben and the kids picked me up from Dubbo at about 9:30am and we went and spent some 'Birthday Eve' time with Jen. My birthday was yesterday and I had a lovely time at home with the boys. I will put a pic of the kids on soon - Jen, have you got a scanner? If you do, can you scan the Pre-School pic of Lewis and email it to me?

Nifty

This is a recent arial of the mine. You can see the village on the right-hand-side and i work on the far-left-hand-side of the mine.

Some Photos

This is the dining room (not too shabby)

This is the gym (not used it yet)

This is the village area (see pool in background)

Here is an arial photo of the village. This is an old photo - the village is much bigger. My room is up in the top right hand corner.

Here I am....click to enlarge

Hello From.....Somewhere in W.A

Hi, I am doing fine. The mine site is ok, the village is pretty cool - it has a gym, tennis court, bar, swimming pool, bistro (which looks like a sizzlers) pretty nice spot - real bush-like.

I work 12 hour days (up at 4:30am) go for breakfast, catch the bus to work at 5:30am, catch the bus home at 5:30pm, have dinner, ring ben from a pay phone, then head back to my room and generally asleep by 7-8pm.

2 weeks to go, I will be flying home on Thursday 30th November (great birthday hu?) but I get to see my boys, so that is a good trade off.

Lack of communication up until now. My mobile is with Optus and wouldnt you know...Telstra mobiles work out here! I havent been set up with a computer yet, so no email etc. My boss left today to go to Perth, so I jumped on his computer and here I am.

I have been busting to go to the gym, but dont have enough hours in the day! I wake at 4:30am, which is 7:30am NSW time and finish work at 5:30pm, which is 8:30pm NSW time, so by the time i have dinner and head back to my room, it is so late and my eyes are hanging out of my head.

Food is good, weather is hot, missing everyone.

Take care now

2 Sick Little Boys

The boys have been sick the last couple of weeks!

They are better now, by the way.

Bike-A-Thon

Lewis had his bike-a-thon today!

Riley loved watching - he had so much fun!

Ginger 'Nut'

Riley is mad on biscuits now. Here he is eating an arrowroot bickie - he doesn't leave much of these ones behind. Below is the fun with a ginger nut bickie - they are so messy, but we love'em!

My Boys

I just love dressing the kids up! (kinda wish sometimes that i had a daughter as well).

I put Riley in a pair of cute little joggers with his jeans the other day, but they didn't last long on! Ohh well, they looked pretty cute.

Riley gets around heaps now in his walker - starting to reach things easily - have to baby proof a bit more this weekend!



Last but not least - the big man is sitting up for longer and longer now. Wont be long before he is all grown up *tear*

Lewis

Lewis is turning 5 in October and just loves his little brother!

Riley's Christening

Here are some photos of Riley's christening on the 1-7-06, he was 6 months and 1 day old!
The first photo is the most recent one taken of riley a few days ago.
The next photo was him having fun with Dad, while Mum looked on.
The last photo was him having a snooze in the pram afterwards in his suit!

Still havent figured this out very well yet (photos kept going to the top :)
