The Steenkamp family
1. All of us together - look how much taller the kids are than me - take after their dad. And I still have platform shoes on!
Lovely family you have there Dalene, great pic.
:emot112_2:
Don't worry about your boys hight, I hear that boys are never shorter then their mothers. I'm about 1.85 meters tall and all my boys are taller then me.
Is there moms out there who's boys are shorter then them???
(Mike, we are not talking about your garden boy now hey,so don't even try it!!)
Then what boy do you really mean Paula. Careful now, hey!
Those mom's who have boys, but infants don't count Georgy Boy!!
:gum1: :buffo1:
I was worried you mean something else.

I don't mind the kids being taller than me - it's me being so short that sometimes is a problem. Always have to get on a stepladder or chair to get something off a shelf. Have to get on the table in my office to switch on/off the aircon. But not such a big worry too - this way I can always shunt someone else around when they are near....

Very Handy having a tall son, mines 6' 7". Used to get him to clean the light fittings. :36_2_35:
Both my children are tall Tarryn is 5' 9'' and Bjorn is 6' 3
Its nice when i want something done that is high, Tarryn changes light bulbs without standing on anything.
I also change the lightbulbs, but I stand on Michele...... :emot172:

What do you need them for when the PWR is gone meanpuff
:ciupa1: :emot19:
Kids luckily don't use power to operate - just huge amounts of food!
I think the sun shines out of my son's *ss so we get light when he stands up.
Diana - yougogirl
Yep, I forgot to mention the LOVE bit - that's where that ray of sunshine comes from when they gut up! bighug
Beautiful family Dalene. My son is 6'2", funny thing is, his own father is very short but him and Wilhelm and my brother, Dave are exactly the same height. Judy looks just like her father but people regularly think that Terrick is Wilhelm's son and Lindy is my daughter. Diana, do you also find that moms are closer to their sons and fathers to their daughters. I also think the sun shines out of my sons arse

Did you teach him to do that?
No Boy Georg he was born that way. :emot19:

Me & Susan, my daughter.
Susan and cousin Hildelee - going for a role in The Dukes of Hazard 2 with their makeshift armadilla hats. They had the people doubling up in the street - silly girls! Just bought the two things in Game and 2 mins later they were creating havoc in the street with it. Darn sorry I did not have my camera with me when we went shopping...
Hi there, Dalene my friend, your family sure does look good, my boy Stefan is also taller than me and I myself is not short..this photo was taken a while back he is much taller now...
Susan Bezuidenhout (Pieterse /Nel)
Hey, julle mag die taal goeie hier.....
Baie dankie meneer Alexander! We will stick to English, so all the other can understand us as well...
Just something small I should mention: did you lot know that my daughter has my mothers full names, but that I had called her Susan from the day she was born, thus naming her in that way after my life long friend Susan?
Susan, you & I should dig out some of those old pics of the two of us together in OMund on that little 'piskriek' scooter thing I had. Also there must be pics about us at the river and in the hostel together in Springbok. Some pics taken in PTA as well (remember that Blackie and Bouwer guys...... say no more!)
See we Afrikaners do think of the English, and we are polite therefore we write in English so all can understand....Yes my friend we should...only my memory is ageing with me, so put all your photos up so we can have a few laughs...i'm sure it will jog my memory...
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...took a while to register...now I remember the Blackie and Bouwer guys......sjoeeeeee that was ages ago....we had fun didn't we....post the fotos or email me, image201
Nee! Wat! ...ek verstaan nie n blerrie word wat julle se nie.... Blerrie Engels... laughpoint
Dann kann ich ja auch in Deutsch schreiben, oder ????
Macht nix, ich schreibe ja auch in englisch als höfliche Person
Ich kanns, aber muss nicht LOL woo_hoo
Ja, Ok.... I get your point..... aber ich vertsedt so ein biesen deutsch... woo_hoo
@ Michael zeine Deutsch bien zehr gut, meine nicht.
@ Florrie Careful we might upset the French next! image201
My French is non-existent but I am planning on learning a few choice swear words for my next trip. Missed my bus in Paris and didn't know where to catch a train to Brussels, asked at the metro and the guy just shrugged his shoulders, must have thought I was British.
Send me your list Florrie and I'll give you the French translation...
Patricia, are you really going to help Florrie learn all known French swear words so she has ammunition next time? Now that's a true friend! sorriso2
Thanks Patricia. Will let you know when I need it. Better still, you can come along and do the swearing for me.
Sure, we'll go together ... two bad-mouthed women is always better than one ... woo_hoo
After this reunion most of you know that I am a "semi" party animal.... went a little goth at this one and the reaction was quite good/bad.....
And on my trip to America they decided that I had to be "detained"..... declared that I was to wild for Disneyworld!
abouttime, sorry guys been very busy lately, how r u all, nice pics Daleen, some more pic off reunion, sad that I wasn't there, would have loved to join everyone, but, duty calls 1st..
Way back in the days = somewhere on a Koevoet base we were just singing our hearts out!
Oh my word - look at the size of those glasses!!!!!!
Holy moly .. you were right about them .. how could you lose them at the river that night ??
Hi Dalene, Thanks for the mail. I am still trying to get my bearings about your family, help me here please LOL. I must say thye are nice pics.
Regards,
Paul (Pepe) Freemantle
Not trying to scare anyone.....
Susan my daughter thought it looked quite snazzy when she shook out her hair after tying it in some funny bun thing the night before.... CRUELLA DE VILLE !!!!!!
Pic 2 .... that's how it usually looks.....
No fright ... just a lovely tousled head of blonde hair ...
Hi, daar, ja sy is pragtig met die lang blonde hare, wild is partykeer goed....hou meer van die reguit hare, lekker dag vir almal
Well, everyone does have some skeletons in the closet..... he he he
I had such a laugh at some of these old slides that my dad, Big Dirk took ... they are all from way way back in the yesteryear.
To show you what Leon (my brother and I looked like after a day's play). I must have been about 3 years old when those pics were taken.... oh my goodness, just look at the pot belly, dirty legs and look at the bloomer pants! About the hair - Fiela se kind, straight from the woods ! We used to live in Aus at that time where my dad was the police station commander. Rex, the dog was always by our side.... oh man, what carefree days those were !!!!
Pics 1 & 2 - Leon, me and Rex... hi hi hi
Pic 3 - Leon on me.... at least we had some clothes on this time !!
Pic 4 - Leon, me and Agan - I think it was near mile 108 - this must have been in 1971
Pic 5 - my dad Big Dirk, Leon and me at the old Van Stadens bridge in 1972.
