A little nervous!

 Western Sprint Relay Team

 Relay change-over

Owen did really well competing in his first state swimming meet! No medals, but such a great achievement to get there after such a short time competitively swimming.

Perth Sunrises




Selby and I are training for the HBF half marathon at the end of May. The early morning starts to fit in a weekly training run on a Sunday are worth it when you get to see a sunrise like this!

It's all about Owen!



Owen has decided to finish up with ice hockey this term to concentrate on his swimming instead. He has also been busy practicing clarinet, after being selected to participate in the school music program playing clarinet. Such a multi-talented boy!

Frank's


To celebrate Owen's success in the pool, we walked down to the strip to Frank's for dinner. It is set to become a favourite as the boys really enjoyed the American style meats and carbs, with bottomless drinks!

Inter-school Swimming





Owen really enjoyed the inter school swimming training and carnival this year. Millen did really well, coming 2nd overall by just a few points. Winners are grinners!

Owen's Year 6 Assembly


We were very proud of our once very shy Owie, auditioning for and getting one of the leading roles as a news reader in his class assembly item for the year. He has come such a long way from the little kindy boy who held his hands over his ears when his class had to perform a Christmas song!

St Paddy's Day


We think you will agree that Gus is the cutest St Paddy's day mascot ever!

Sculptures by the Bay

 










While the other two were in Brisbane, Owen Dec and I headed down to Pip and Pop's place for the weekend. The boys had a great time checking out Sculptures by the Bay and a wander along the Dunsborough foreshore.

Brisbane Boys' Trip










Over the March long weekend, Selby and Ethan headed to Brissie for a weekend of quality time together. A kind of a coming of age trip that we plan to repeat for all the boys. They enjoyed scooting around and checking out the sites, comedy and food that Brisbane had to offer.
