Christmas/Random

So I finally got around to putting up some never before seen pictures from Christmas. Day went like this: Woke up, had the missionaries over for some breakfast and monopoly. Then I went over to Phil's to open up some presents and got a sweet book from Phil, and some sexy leopard board shorts from the Giles. So quick shout out to Dayna for sending that. Then we all went over Aunty Elaine's for some breakfast and had a good talk with Mum and Dad. Aunty and Uncle have this ping pong table so we were all getting pretty into that. Spain went for the hard shot and ended up throwing the paddle and snapping the handle. He was later released from the game. After that we went back to Phil's house for a huge dinner just for the four of us, Phil, Priscilla, Liam, and me. We played some more monopoly after dinner and ended going home to sleep. I was pretty cheap on the presents this year. I got Damian some finger painting sets for his blank portraits, Jared an afro, Phil a yo-yo, Priscilla a frisbee that I broke an hour later, and Liam some Superman stickers. Man, I'm awesome.

Computer back on
















Well, our computer is finally working properly. Couple of things. We took a cruise down to Gold Coast one night and there was a car in front of us at a T-section. They pulled out and another car came across and hit the car badly. It rolled over a couple times and was on its side. Jared and I were the first on the scene. Two drunk girls were in there. One girl slid right out because the windshield was smashed off. The other girl was stuck. She was unconscious and was bleeding. Her arm was twisted back and the smell of alcohol was on her breath. The lady in the other car was just fine. But I think that other girl survived, maybe not. Also, we went to another waterfall. It was deep somewhere up at Mt Tambourine. We also went to the view, which was this space on top of a hill overlooking all this farm land.

Boating

Last week on Saturday it was a real hot day so we decided to go out boating. Damien and I played morning ball at Karawatha Stake, and then bought some food and went out towards Ormeau. We spent the whole day tubing, knee boarding, and wake boarding. It was nice to be able to get out of the house and enjoy some water and sun. The water was disgusting though, and fish were jumpin in and out. We all had a blast and came home tired and sun burned. I'm real black now, and am going to stay out of the sun for the next couple of months. It's been raining quite heavily lately so that's been real nice. When summer fully hits, I think I'll be singing a different tune.

ZOO!!!!!!!!!





























Last friday we decided that it would be a good idea to see some kangaroos and koalas since we have not seen any at all. It was a hot day and we went to some little crappy zoo and saw 30 kangaroos just hanging out minding their own business. They reminded me a lot like Tahi. Just sitting underneath the shade and just sitting there. But it was funny to be able to pet them and just hang out with them. There were heaps of animals just waltzing around the whole place. Lizards on the foot paths and turkeys just flying around and annoying everyone. It was too hot to wear normal clothe so I wore stubbies and a wife beater. For some reason I can't upload pictures on here so I will do that as soon as I can.

Waterfall

About to jump off











Today I woke up at 6am to drive down to the Karawatha Stake chapel to ball some ball with Phil, and Priscilla's brother, Liam. There's a group of about 10-15 people that go there every Saturday morning, so it's nice to do something early. At 7:30 we left to go down to Sunnybank Hills rugby field because Karawatha ward was playing flag touch against another ward in a 3-game series. It was two 30 minute halves, and Jewel and Spain and their kids were there. Andrew Katene was there as well with all the elders playing. It was nice to get know another ward, and it was funny to meet some cousins from back home. I forgot their names, but they said for me to tell mum and dad they said Hi. So, Hi Mum and Dad from family members that I don't remember. We got beat pretty bad by their ward. It was all fun and games the first half, but during the halftime break both teams went under their own shade and started devising a plan to smash the other team. By 9 o'clock the sun was draining the energy out of everyone. I can't believe how hot it gets and it's still only spring. It should be illegal for it to be that hot so soon. And the weather people have been saying its the coldest spring in 20 some odd years. But after we played touch I went back to the house and Jared, Damien, and I decided today would be the perfect day to go to the waterfall. There were dozens of people everywhere, and it was really nice to dip in some cool water. There were so scary as drops, but we overcame the fear.

Update

Taking a picture with some random guy


Hey everyone, well in light of moving to Damiens house, I haven't been able to get on this thing as much. I still have plenty of pictures and news for everyone. Moved in there a couple weeks ago, a 4 bedroom house with one bathroom, and a computer room. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. We all went to Spasifik Cuts and got our heads shaven. But they kept the back of mine. Hoping to grow it out longer and blonde it, haha. There isn't any artwork on the walls so we decided to go get one of those old western family portraits. Except we opted to dress like gangsters. We got the pictures done at Surfers Paradise down in the Gold Coast, and I had a one dollar american bill left over. So we decided to do Poo Dollar with it. Jared went into the bathroom and did his thing on the dollar note. We found an escalator to this Game Zone place where all the arcades were. We put the dollar bill at the top of the escalator and I sat next to this plant and filmed it on my camera. This lady and her family were coming up and her eyes lit up once she saw an american note. She picked it up and turned around to show her family the other side of the note. Their eyes just lit up and told her to throw it away and she looked on the other side to see crap on it. We thought it was the funniest thing until we came back half an hour later to see the note was taken. Then yesterday Jared and I thought it would be a good idea to climb onto the roof and start hitting golf balls. One of the kids that Damien takes care of climbed up there with us and we start smacking balls into the neighbors back yard. Chris hit the ball and it flung through the trees and hit a bird. We thought it was the funniest thing ever and almost fell off the roof.
