Family Home Evening WHANAU SIZE

We are loving having family (whanau) over for the holidays. Aunty Jacque invited us over for Monday night to have FHE. It was great to see cousins working together on assignments and enjoying the evening together.



Truth and Ratauhinga conducted


This is most of the cousins

Kawea conducted the music.

Rakai loving sitting on his "bigger" cousin Tawhaio


Emeka and Arama watching from behind, making sure all is well.

Arama and Jazz Gave a great lesson on service and looking after those that need our help. Well done you two!

Inspiration was from this months New Era.


Then game time. In the pond out the pond is a family favorite for generations! Still a favorite. Just more competitive. We had a couple of ponds. A big pond for the big ones, a little one for the little ones.

Truth and Tawhaio taught us how to play Pukana too. That was a great game, then there was a train game where you sit in a circle and hold hands. Then you squeeze hands  around to a certain person and someone in the middle has to catch the message before it gets to the inteded person. Lots of fun.

Thank you jacque for a wonderful evening!!! Love you!!

"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!!!!

Flashback - Rotten teeth?

I was putting the boys to bed the other night, and as usual you go through the usual teeth toilet, bed etc... I asked Rakai, did you brush your teeth? He said no. (He was honest) So, I said, "do you want your teeth to fall out while you are asleep?" He answered with a sad look on his face, "yes, cause then I can get some money". Oh that was such a Rakai thing to say!! I had to counter that (trying not to laugh) by telling him that the tooth fairy doesn't give money for rotten teeth! Then, Hikawera pipes up saying he got $5 for a rotten (dead actually from being banged) tooth that the dentist had to pull out. I had to go into real damage control then!! Rakai comes out with the funniest things sometimes. He is golden.
