Brunei 7-9 Swimming Championships Part II

Ayden and Jack both had a great day at the swim meet yesterday. With the 7-9 competition, all the categories are thrown in to swim together but the results then sorted by category. Ayden was swimming in the 7 year category and Jack in the 8. But as their seed times are very close, they swam in at least two heats together.

Jack came away with a silver for 25m breaststroke and gold for 25m backstroke. 

Ayden finished with golds for 25m butterfly and 25m breaststroke and silvers for 25m backstroke and 25m freestyle.

Both were estatic and as always we are very proud of both of them. They both even got a mention in the Borneo Bulletin.

Minions everywhere

With Minions in, there was only one theme for Ayden's birthday cake. He absolutely loved it and being KOJ's signature rich chocolate cake, so did we!! Its been a very special day indeed.




Ayden is 7

Ayden's had a great start to his 7th Birthday. He came into the bed twice in the night to check the time. And as he was on the ball, we had an early start!

The top of the present list was a talking Minion Dave - Minions being Ayden's current craze. Iman gave him a T-ball set and Jack a glider plane. And he also got a pocket nerf, a yellow football and small soft balls - a boy can't have enough of these! 






Followed by cards and presents from all in Ireland. He especially loved the card from Tom.


And before school it was a quick trip to the hospital to have the stitches removed. 



And Ayden brought these into school to share with his class!
