A little netball, a little cuteness

Well, once again it's been a little while. I'm a naughty little blogger! Things have been happening, but I've still be so tired that I just want to sleep!

So, what's some of the things... well... I am going to be spending a lot of time on a plane soon, as I will be jetting off to Sydney for the Matisse Open Day where I get to have a whole lot of fun and catch up with a whole lot of artists! Looking forward to that BIG TIME!!!

Runaways Netball Club (which I'm president of) had their annual presentation dinner - so that was a flurry, but it ended with eating and drinking and being merry - so all was good. I won't bore you with ALL the photos... but here's some of us...

Here's Emily receivign her perpetual trophy for "Most Dependable Member" for all the hard work she did through the year selling chocoates, pies, picking up rubbish after the games, volunteering to help in the canteen etc. She was plenty chuffed!

And here I am receiving my first EVER 'Most valuable' player trophy. In all the years I've been playing, I don't think I've ever got that. So, WOW!

And another first... me receiving the "Senior Coach of the Year" award... WOOHOO!!! Long time coming for that one - I've been coaching for the club for over 10 years now....

Enough netball... no?

OK then. Let me say that I've decided that 'why the heck not' and put my name down to play in the Premier League with the big girls this year.... Thought I'd see how far I can push myself playing at a higher level - can't wait!

We're also playing mixed - which isn't always good combo - me, Michael and netball often causes conflict.... but we should have fun. Leesa is sporting our mixed uniform above... it was awesome to see the sea of green when we turned up last Wednesday - we were IMPRESSIVE!!! Now if only we can play as good as we look!

Oh, and in November Mum, Jodie, Kerry and I are off on my very first overseas holiday... to New Zealand... Auckland (is that the closest you can get to Australia and still need a passport I wonder?) to watch the NETBALL WORLD CUP!!! Bring it on!!! We're so excited... over a week of watching netball and hanging out with the girls... could it get any better??? Nup!

Now to share some cute, cute, cute pics of my new niece, and her big bro. Charlotte Rose is such a sweetie, and I got a good couple of hours of cuddle time in on Saturday. She's a little angel. Jake on the other hand has this devilish grin... :)

How can you resist this?











That should keep you guys busy for a while!
