moooooo....Doat!

The field that Arama played on Last saturday was about 15 minutes from our farm. You turn off one of the side roads onto a typical country road and Vwa-la! your there. As soon as you open your door you smell that fresh country air of Cow and patts..or maybe it is just cow patts!! It took a minute but amidst the farming land was this well groomed and I must say really good Playing field.

After the game I thought I better let my 'curious george' aka Rakaipaka take a close up of what real cows look and sound like. After a few prompts a cow returned my calls to Rakai's delight. I would tell him cow, and he would respond "Doat" (goat). I found this quite amusing since he was adament that the cow was indeed a Doat. I guess that is what you get for only having a goat, chickens and dogs on our farm (for now). A great sunny day anyhow. We love the sun at the moment.... Thank you Hikawera and Kawea for taking the photo's.

"I'll be your best friend?!"

My baby never fails to have a “such a cutie” moment every day. I don’t know what it is about him, perhaps knowing he is the baby, or simply that he was such a good baby, that I have noticed these little moment s more.   I have to share this one with you. It has happened twice this last week. We are sitting in the car and Rakaipaka calls out and asks for something. Usually it is a lolly or chocolate or something I don’t have at that time. Anyway I call out ‘no’, and the response comes back, “Oooh, Ill be your best friend”!!! Ha How cute is that!! He is all of what 2 years old and is already trying that line on his mother!!! Now the question is posed…. Which one of his siblings did he hear that from!!!!

Volleyball

Teancum really enjoys playing volleyball. He jumped right into the teams at boys high, and within a couple of weeks, he was in the 'A' team. They came runner up this season to a solid Hillcrest school team. An awesome group of boys.
