Jets down Croydon

James was on the ball this week for the game against Croydon.  Despite a rough first quarter, the boys rallied to win the game in convincing fashion.

James picked up another award this week.  He is never one to hang about for accolades so I barely had time to hit the shutter button!

Basketball - James

Well James team did not win against Balwyn but they did give a good account of themselves. James was in the thick of the action of course.

In the photo above, he is converting a foul to a point for his team. He does like to move the ball down the court.

Basketball - Pat

Pat's team played Park Orchards today and they put on quite a show.

Pat threw a couple of goals and in the second half he was grabbing the ball and generally getting in the face of Park Orchards.  It was one of the best games we have seen him play.  Great game Pat!

Constructor Kid

Lachlan visited this morning while Cooper was at kinder.  The mysteries of construction were the subject of the morning's studies.

Jets Down Rowville

It was another good day for the Jets today.  It was an earlier start for the team photos.

It must have stirred the boys into action because they came out firing.  In fact, Rowville did not really threaten at any time.  James started in the back so was not seeing much action.  In the second half he was put on the ball and really had a good time.

He laid some really good tackles, he kicked a point but he also set up at least one goal and made some great passes.  As a result he received one of the Coach's awards at the end of the match.  The Jets won 11-8 78 to 2-3 15.

Pool Finally Filled!

The long planned pool with foundations that penetrate the earth's crust has finally been filled.  It might have taken a while to complete and there may have been a few interruptions to the construction schedule but it has been worth the wait!  It was filled yesterday and is now settling and having intensive filtration time.  It looks a picture in it's environment.

Cooper's Birthday Photo

It has been a while.  There have been a number of attempts to get Cooper's birthday photo and when we finally got one it doesn't appear to have made it to the Blog.  A spot of rectification is in order.
Here 'tis.

Jets Bomb Norwood

The Jets had a good day today completely dominating Norwood.  As James was playing in defence he did not see a lot of action but when the ball was near him he did his bit.

As usual, Adam got a real workout all over the field.

Farm Picnic

It was decided that a picnic on a local Children's Farm was in order yesterday.  Beside that, Adam wanted a few new chickens.  The weather was still bleak but it was a fun afternoon feeding animals and watching a few demonstrations.  The sheep dog demos are always fun and who would not get a kick out of watching a Border Collie work a group of sheep?  Those dogs are fantastic.

Northern Visitors

Kylie managed to work her magic today and conjure up a special vehicle to bring Greg down to Melbourne to visit Mum K.  Noel came with her and we all arrived at Baradine where we had arranged to have lunch together.

Lunch was served in a special Guest Room which proved to be an excellent venue.  As Greg is finding it increasingly difficult to move around, it was a golden opportunity for the family meet-up.
