pro baller

this little nugget started basketball boot camp (okay maybe it's u10 basketball skills) at a nearby rec centre a few weeks ago. oh my gosh does he love it! he is freaking ruthless and is always out to get that ball and get it in the hoop. he's actually not done too badly with it either, with a lot of his shots making it in. it's so nice to see him running and moving and being into sport. bball was always on the cards, because his dad loves it and the most important person in the world, his precious aunty dom loves it. lol. i'm hoping that by doing the rest of the term, he'll like it enough to play in the summer season as it arrives around again in term 4. funers crossed we have another sports mad child in the house. haha.

 

school faction carnival

not much to see here, just a little red head, in red faction (giles at her school...) wearing red, with red painted hair (cause her already red hair isn't red enough) on school carnival day!

she was so excited to go off and run in her race, even though joseph isn't well so i couldn't come and spectate this year.

her epic red braids done by nanna who stayed over last night.

best bit of my day was logging on to facebook at one stage and seeing this picture posted by my friend with her daughter in the number 1 place... and my little one in second! she was so pleased when i picked her up and i know she did her best. clearly she takes after the kendalls... cause goodlets are unashamedly useless at sports. all of them. haha. 

you'll hear our mighty roar!

today we took maddie to her first afl game. my work has season tickets for the dockers games in perth and every year you can enter the draw to win tickets to a match. our gorgeous pa to the gm is well aware of doug's love for the lions, so each year she makes sure he gets to go... bless her!

this time, someone pulled out at the last minute, so we scored her tickets too and took along our friends mark and jamie-lee.

this little miss has a guernsey, a puffa jacket and a baby scarf, so we dressed her (and ourselves) up and jumped on the train, must to the ausement of passers-by, seeing our maroon, blue and gold along with our dockers membership tags. hahaha. must have been a classic sight.

maddie was hilarious, sitting and staring down at the grounds, clearly had no idea what the heck was going on, but every time someone clapped, she would carefully put down whatever snack she was holding at the time into my lap and clap her hands, before quickly picking it up again and having some more.

having a sneaky drink... i love this pic - looks like she has a little hip flask.

another day in paradise...

our team didn't win (this we established long before the game even started, that it even wasn't a possibility...) but we had a great time and that's all that matters.
