Adam Hits An "0"

We had a celebration for a landmark in Adam's history.

The clan gathered for a traditional feast of Roast Lamb and Apple Rolly Polly.  The girls seemed quite enthusiastic about the event.

After a day of heavy physical work, the Main Man only just had enough breath left to extinguish the bonfire.

AusKick

Jack was off to AusKick and Lachlan seems to have decided that he too likes football.  He really enjoys playing with the ball and, for his age, is an amazing kick.

Lachlan made his father work hard while Jack practiced with the other AusKickers.

Moon - Another Look

The moon was bright tonight and I decided to take a look.  It does look a little the worse for wear.  We may need a new one soon.

Jets' Season Ends

It was a big ask today but we thought they might do it. The Jets played East Ringwood and unfortunately they were beaten by a team that was better on the day.  James played his heart out and was all over the ground.  He will sleep well tonight.

His efforts were rewarded with another Coach's Award for his work in the team that finished the season 3rd in the "A" Grade competition.  Things have really moved on in just a year!!

James Reaches High

The Vikings did not win today but James worked hard for the team reaching great heights.

He also showed his skills in moving the ball down the court - to the delight of his Dad and the Coach.

James always enjoys monstering the opposition.

Jack the AusKicker

Jack thoroughly enjoys his time at AusKick.  Despite the threats from the Weather Bureau, it was a beautiful morning.  The AusKickers initially had skills training, kicking straight, handball, tackles etc.

And then there was game training, passing, handball etc. Jack enjoyed it all.

School Aths

We dropped down to the Athletics track today to watch Pat and James in their heats.  The boys did well getting places.  After a bout of asthma in the 100m Pat got his lungs back under control and came home with a place in the 200m.

 James was pushing hard for his place in the race.

Mathematician Jack

Jack was called up at School Assembly this morning to receive a Gold Certificate for his Mathletics performance.  Great work Jack!

Jets Do It Again!

James had a good day today.  The Jets played Mooroolbark who were above them on the ladder.  Mooroolbark scored in the first 10 minutes but from then on it was all about the Jets.  They won the game 69 to 9.

James was in it all day, he was shepherding and supporting all over the ground.  When I looked at the photos of the action of the day James was in a large proportion of them.

He had a good day and received one of the Coach's rewards for his effort in the game.

 

The Jets Runner had a good day too.

Pat has a Pearler!

Patrick had a great day at basketball today.  They did not win the game but they put on a great performance playing against both Eltham and the umpires.

Pat has really stepped up his game over this season.  He took a more aggressive line this week and was much more successful in grabbing the ball and wresting it from the opposition.  Good game Pat!

Pat with his No 1 fan.
