Sport's Day

Oops, it's taken me awhile to update with the Sport's Day results. Both boys had a great day. Ryan came first in the Championship sprints and Bowen came third in his age group. A fantastic achievement as only the fastest boy runner in their age group and house get to run. They both also loved all the other events. Ryan competed in the Primary section for the first time which kept Nan and I busy trying to watch all events across two ovals. Who says Sport's Day is just for the kids???? Their team Keegan came second overall. I've included some pictures to show you what they got up to.

Proud Mum (and Dad) Moment

Well yesterday my 2 boys both won their year level marathons for Sport's Day. They did a great job running so far and were pretty impressed with themselves when they crossed the line first. I'll add some photos on the weekend.

It's the official Sport's Day today and both are competing in the sprints for their team. I will let you know how they go!

My Baby is Engaged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the last couple of months, Bowen has been quite concerned that he doesn't know who to marry - a big problem for a just 6 year old apparently.

Well the problem was solved yesterday as he came home from school and announced that he had played with Emilie S today and she was the one he was going to marry. He is quite lucky as it seems that she likes him too. So the future is now planned. I'm too scared to ask when this is all supposed to take place. I don't think I'm ready to be a mother-in-law just yet!

My First Post

Welcome to the world of the Hoskings. It's about time I got serious about blogging so now's the time. Be prepared to hear about all the happenings around here, that mostly seem to relate to the boy's sport!

Ryan is currently playing school basketball on Friday nights. He plays in an Year 3 competition against other Year 3 boys. Bowen has also decided to take up basketball - mainly because Ryan is but also a couple of his friends also play so now he does too. He also does quite well and was very excited to shoot 3 goals in the mini game they had at the end of their training. Although he wasn't happy that he was only allowed to guard the other number 10 and not all the other players as well. I'm finding getting basketball photos a challenge as my boys don't stand still and most of the photos are blurry. But I have managed to include a couple for you.

Ryan is also into school cricket on Saturday mornings. I LOVE cricket because they stand still and I can get some excellent scrappable moments. The bad news is that it takes a LONG time to play. The kids are getting better but it's hysterical when they are fielding that after a ball in bowled they insist on passing the ball to each team member before bowling again. Ryan hit 14 off one over on Saturday which he was very proud of. Unfortunately the only photo I got of that over was the one where he was bowled. I was not popular.
