So much for "We're a Happy Team at Hawthorn..."

...As most of us left Aurora Stadium sad.

So today Mum and Dad said that we (Emily, Rohan and I) could have the day off school today (Monday 29th September) so we could go to the Hawthorn signings at their home ground. Yes, I go for Bulldogs and Emily goes for Essendon, but the Tassie Hawks are our favourite team when our primary teams aren't there.


Emily and Jessica (Who cam to pick us up and take us) waited in line for the signings for almost 2 hours before we left, but during that time Rohan and I took photos and had a kick of the footy. It was a very happy day for Rohan as he was very excited but he left he was heartbroken.


The organisation of the thing, firstly, was terrible. There was one huge line that led to a big bundle of the players and people wanting autographs. The actual players weren't mean't to leave the grounds until 4:30... but they all left at 3:00, for some strange reason, and left hundreds of fans upset. We didn't even get to see them up close, we saw them entering, but from a 50 metre distance.


At the end Emily asked the Manager if he could get a signature he simply said, "Sorry they've already left," even though they weren't to leave for another hour and a half, "But they will be back next year." But the thing is, how long until the season starts again?


Rohan, and many more children, looked up to these players and believed it was a once in a life time opportunity and they just silenced them by leaving early. It was fun playing on the oval but next time I hope to see more organisation to the set up.

Update: September

Well it has been a very long time since I last posted but I have decided to get into business again. Ok so you may know but I made these animations called "Jay & Stu's Animated Adventures" and I do the voices, animation and everything, but incase you haven't seen them (they're somwhat pathetic) then the link is http://www.youtube.com/bioshockraptor.

Anyway in the Holidays we, Mum, Dad and I, went to Sydney. Up there we met up with Collette and Nan Gibson. It was good because it was my very first trip inside the Temple, last time we came up to the mainland I wasn't allowed in, so we stood outside. We went shopping a fair bit and also went up close to the Sydney Opera House. "Oh my gosh, big woop," you might say but bear in mind it was my first time within, like, one kilometre within range, in fact I got to touch it!


We stayed at the Temple Accommodation, it's very messy

Unfortunately my camera had no batteries so I didn't get to take any photos of it with my camera, they're all on Collette's, so when I get them I will post them. I did, however, get to take photos of the Temple (which is better).

Update: Holidays

Yesterday was both of my poppy's birthdays, so we visited both of their houses. Noel Wheeler is 71 and Steven Lanham is 58, umm I mean 21. Today I made sherbet. It's real nice, if you want to make it here is the recipe:

20 teaspoons of Icing Sugar,
1 teaspoon of Citric Acid (can't use the liquid you have to use the powder),
1 teaspoon of Bicarb
3 teaspoons of Jelly Crystals, but be careful otherwise it tastes like soap.

It's holidays now and on Saturday the footy was on and Bulldogs won woot woot. SUCKED IN AARON KING BAHAHAHAHahaha...ha. We were in the standing area and by the last quarter we just stood on the stairs because it was easier to see that way. I hope I get to see the Lions vs the Hawks later this year.

Guessing Game

Guess who this adorable baby is...

Keep guessing...

Got it yet?

That's right... it's ME =D

Mum and Dad found these pictures and I decided to scan them onto the computer.
Speaking of them... look how young Lisa and Chris are...

Hehe look at little baby Rohan he's sssoooo cute.

I got a haircut!

I can't beleive it... but I finally got one! I have been meaning to get one for quite some time, so my nan took me out to 'Just Cuts' and look at it!

I think it looks alright, it will look better once it grows a bit. It's spikes but with a bit of my fringe, at least it's not all over my face like before.

Young Mens Overnighter

Aaahhh what a week. To top off the awesomeness of the BYU adventure, the Young Mens got together on Friday night and set off for Deloraine. We arrived at the chapel and did some activities then when to Weegena Hall. This is where the fun begins. We set up and just basically mucked around and took photos and movies.

So we stayed up until about 2am, but then had to wake up at 6am to go to the chapel again. For the rest of the day we pretty much just did activites and later attended- sorry I should actually say we fell asleep instead of listened to the speakers at the Preisthood general conference. This morning I slept in and am ready for the morning tomorrow. Yay school.

BYU Young Ambassadors

So everyone pretty much knows what has been going on the last few days and we've had a lot of fun with the Play at the Princess Theatre, the Fireside at the chapel and before our ambassadors left we just had to take photos.

Aahh a nice portrait, they're going to be remembered for years.

"I beleive I can touch the sky!"

Posers. Lol.

The BYU students who stayed at our place were Carson (The singer on the far left in the 60's Sherry Baby) and Clay (The "hot keyboard player" -quoted by Collette Gibson). We have had such a great time with them, and I wish that they could have stayed longer. On Youtube someone videoed the performance up until the end of the Camelot act... probably should say act, so you can see it up there, but the quality isn't that good.

So overall the whole BYU adventure was the most funnest experiance I have had in my whole life. I think it would be awesome to go up and see them in USA.
