Christmas 2010

A few photo's from Christmas day....yep much to the family's disgust I insist on having a family photo, it's always a bit hit and miss when you use a timer

This is one of our neighbours houses......I have asked the boys to decorate the outside of our house next year.

My favourite decoration.

Sweet revenge.....many years a go when I was a teenager I had a couple of cousins who would wake me up rather early when I stayed at the farm, well they are both parents now and lucky for one of them who lives in the states and the other one lives close by and she, Sean, Josh and Jazz all came for Christmas brunch. We gave Josh a drum kit and they symbols work really well...lol... and Jazz got a nice quiet toy a pink bike.....There are plently more opportunities to buy here noisey toys...

Taylor and Jazz

Recieving his graduation folder from the principle Mr Lewis

The graduating class of 2010, the girls looked beautiful and the boys looked very smart.

A bit of an update

In October we attended a dinner celebrating the achievement of 25 years service to ETSA, 83 employees including Craig were recognised. A rare photo of Craig and I together.......

I took this photo on Brandon's last official day at school. He has since completed all of his exams and now we play the waiting game for the results. Brandon was happy with his exams, but at the moment the exam results are the last thing he is thinking about as he is with his friends at Goolwa celebrating schoolies. I hope they have a great time.

Brandon and soem of his friends after the Graduation mass at St. Davids. It was sort of fitting that Gleeson held the graduation mass here as Brandon attended primary school at St. Davids.

He has one last function to attend and that is the formal graduation at the convention centre, I believe it will be a wonderful night.

Three in a row - a junior club record.

What a day it was - Grandfinal day 2010

This year it was a little different as we had a different team to play - Walkerville but luckily for us the result went the way it did in 2008 and 2009. The Under 13 reds at the Gullies had achieved junior club history by becoming the first team ever to win 3 in a row.

The boys played a great game and work well as a team and it was great that our 3 boys who came up from the white divison not only got to play finals for the first time this year they are also now premiership players.

The boys all formed the line to walk to the parents and supporters before belting out our club song.

Hamish is action on the day - being team manager I don't get the chance to take as many photos as I would like - but as I was a team official I was able to join the boys on teh ground when the siren went.

Hamish and his team mates grouping together as a team before running through the banner.

Our banner - we mum's had a great time on the Thursday night making the banner for the boys. It took us a couple of hours to make it and it only took the boys seconds to run through it. But it was all worth it and we will do all again when the time arises.

It's Grandfianl time again

Hamish's team had a great win on Sunday and have now earn't a weeks rest as they are straight into the Grandfinal on the 12th.

Two othe Gullies teams have also made it straight into the Grandfinal, let's hope we are all at the same ground, it will be awesome if we are.
